FISK TAI TICS IN TIE PUIPIT- Excitement
at Butts Fsrry. Warrants were out at
Bulbs Ferry, Monday, for the arrest Of mem
bcrs OF the Methodist Church in that place.
On Sunday morning hostile collision was
threatened under the sheltering roof of the
sacred edi6ce; but the timely interference of
number of respectable citizens prevented
it. For a long time the relations of the
pastor Of the church, the Rev. DIR Q. GOss,
least, unpleasant. The latter, who Is an
Englshman, has attempted, it is said, to
rule or rum, and has opened and closed the
edifice whenever he has deemed 1t proper.
The Sunday School, which was in q flourish
ing condition, has had tn meet in barn ad-
joining the church, and notwithstanding this
fact over two hundred children have con.
stantly attended.
On Sunday the pastor, Mr.. GOss, under
took 10 reopen the edlfiee, and the Sunday
school was requested TO return 10 the church
Accordingly, at the usual hour, there was
large attendance; but TO tue astonishment Of
the teachers and children, the SupeIintcn-
dent, Mr.. VIM. BarthOrp, had been superse-
ded by orders of MIR. Goss by one Valentine
Sembler. This created a stir, especially
among the teachers. One oil the oldest and
most respected teachers in the school, Mrs.
| Sarah Beck, who has been connected with
| the church over niteen years, attempted TO
| ask an explanation Of the change oil Super
intendenta, the teachers having always Sc
lected their Superintendent. Atthis request
the Rev. Mr.. Goss lost his temper, and ad-
dressed Mrs. Beck insulingly, finally telling
her that ii she did not ''shut up her MOUTH
he would have her arrested. He attempted
10 put her into the custody of constable,
but Deputy Sheriff interfered. Atthe time
many young men were in the church, and
indignant at tie course pursued by the pas.
ior and his sympathizers, -four in number,
they attempted 10 seize them and throw them
out OF the window. The children ran home
frightened, and the ediHce was finally closed
the whole heighbOrhood being greatly excl
ted throughout the day. Suits are TO be in
sttuted on both sides.

How they Punish Marital ,,.i InGaeIlty 4 4.


How they Punish Marital InadeIIty In
the Sandwich IsI0nds--- Bloody MutiIa-
ttOn.
There has been grand matrimonial case
just decided in the Sandwich Islands Great
indeed must be the offence that would there
lead TO extraordinary punishment. The de-
linquency Of wife, il committed in favor OF
a foreigner is considered not as an offence,
hut as bringing honor upon the family; and
the gallantry OF the ilusrous foreigner IS
considered as a mark of peculiar sympathy
and respect on his part. If the delinquency
should be committed in favor of n native, ii
is a crime which some slight ehaslisement
will atone for.
But the offence of which we now hear was
one Of exceptional gravity. The culprit was
Tamai, nephew of the august sovereign.
There was evidence to prove that the affron-
ted husband, respectable citizen, had just
cause of offence. The King Kamehameha
mounted his throne in The public place, sur
rounded by the elders or senator's; and there
with guard protecting every inlet, the soy
ereign administered public justice. The cul
prlt, followed by the execuuoner with a
sword, stepped into the arena before thu
throne. The monarch gave sign; the sol
diers lowered their lances; the unfortunate
lover unhesItailnglY lifted his hands wild,
open above his head; and then the execu
tioner, skillully swinging round his blade
cut off the whole row of fingers. The sue
cess Of this dexterous operation was an
nounced by u shrek of pain.
With great dignity the King turned to th
luithless wife, and said; ''It is thy turn, wo
manP' The woman was so terrified tina
she had 10 be supported by several soldiers
Holding a small, sharp knife, the execu
toner approached, and in lew seconds he
ears fell 10 tue ground, while her face was s
laccratcd as to be completely disfigured. Br
here tile matter ended. Husband and will
were not separated, but reconciled-ihe We
mans crime having been washed out l
blood. The royal nephew Immediately n
gained lis Iavorile pnce IN court, and I'll
vile went home with her husband.

Momanlg rights have reconLlY been yindl.

Woman's rights have recently been yiudi-
Gated in an unexpected quarter. Heretofore
the habit of the fur traders in the Hudson's
Bay territory has been to take themselves
wives from among the native Indian women
whom they abandoned with their offspring
when they returned TO civilized regions,
without compunction. 1t has, however, just
been decided in one OF the courts in Mon
tIeal, in the case of man named Connolly,
that such marriage is binding and the chil-
dren by ii Legitimate, while subsequent
marriage to white woman is void and the
children by il illegitimate.
