A letter from Appenzell in Switzerland mentions a singular instance

of religious zeal-

" At the fête of the Nativity of the Virgin, the Cure Weishoupt, of Brullesau, declared that he would shoot any one who should attempt to get in his harvest OD that day. One M. Fuchs proceeded to his work as usual. The Cure, see- ing this, fired at him, and lodged twenty grains of shot in his thigh and leg. The Government wished to prosecute him ; but the inhabitants of Brullesau pre- vented it ; and the affair is to be taken before the Bishop."
