AN ERRATIc DEAcoN.-An exceedingly spicy law
suit is going on Just now in Waterford, Saratoga
county, New York, aud one which has created sn
immense deal of scandal among the "bretheren
and sisters of tile Methodist church in that re-
gon. The parties of this suit are Deacon Joshua
Morse and his wife. Joshua had alwi iys been a
deacon 'iE good standing" with the church, until
shortly after his second marriage. BY his first
wife he had seven children, the oldest, Il young
girl just beginning to feel that she had ~ will Of
her own" The deacon had not been married more
than month or two when he placed this daugh
ter at the head of the household and informed
Mrs Morse that she must obey her orders! fire
other children, seeing the state of affairs, also
commenced to ride over their step mother rough-
shod, aud she, poor woman, had rather hard
time OF IL. occasionally, she refused to obey the
mandates of the "young uns," when they used
compulsory persuasion, in the shape Of sundry
brooms. bTickbats. etc.
If she was 700 spuuky for them. these young
hopefuls would call up<n papa and papa would
take steps to reduce Mrs. d. to what he considered
her proper position. Sometimes he locked her in
the house, sometimes out of it, and on one occa-
sion, when he performed the latter operation. he
threw two pals of water out of the upper window
upon her, to cool down her spirits. Finally, these
little indiscretonS." and "littie differences" be-
gan to attract the attenton of the neighbors, and
the ehur b interfered. Two presiding elders were
appointed TO examine intoa hear the facts Of the
case. and they passed some pretty strong censUre
upon Deacon Morse for the manner III which he
treated the woman he had sworn to love, honor ami
cherish. lie promised e. reform in that particu-
lar, and do better thereafter-a duty h felt the
more incumbent upon him, rs his daughter was to
be married i'll few weeks. Having thus promised
he was dismissed without being obliged 10 resign
his deaconshp, aud the elders repoi ted him As 'ali
right again. The day following, however, in spite
OF his fine promises, this erratic deacon broke up
housekeeping altogether. sent his children ont To-
board. aud took away everything of vaine from the
house. leaving his wife and the one child she hai
by him. in comparative destitution When he lett
he averred that he 'golng VEST but declined
to saw to what part of that somewhat extensive To-
cality. The next that was heard of him was, that
he had procured divorce in Indiana, on the ground
that his wife had abandoned him! Iha present
suit is brought by Mrs. Morse aga nst h,r husband
for abandoning her, and TO compel him 20 support
her. The only question is whether a divorce pro-
cured in Indiana without the knowledge of the
woman. is valid in New York. II 20, the lively
deacon must gain the case If not. the probability
is that Mrs. Morse will succeed In bringing her nn-
faithful spouse to terms At all events this is the
"consummation devoutIy to be wished!' In thn
mean time. the church is preparing to take further
action on the case.
