ST. THOMAS, July 16, 1870.
Summer months in the West Indies are adverse
to business and ones harvest in collecting news
is meagre, for news in Jamaica there is abso-
lutely none, save everybody Is expecting tho
cable steamers, and hoping something may turn
up to enliven the dulness of the island, though
with all its dulness we have thus far escaped our
usual quota of vonito Incidental to the hot season.

Cabinet Minister Resigned-Paper Money.
ST.. THOMAS, July 16, 1870.
The Finance Minister has resigned, much against
the wishes Of majority Of merchants, and Mr.
Wn.V. Leporte is appointed in his stead. The 4th
of July was celebrated here by the United States
Consul in an appropriate manner. Business is
stagnant and no hopes of Improvement. Much
trouble exists with the paper money, on account
of its depreciation and the large quantities Of
cOunterfets afloat.

Remarkable Excitement in the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Attica, N. Y.

ATrIcA, N. Y, July 20, 1870.
For some six weeks or two months past this
usually quiet village has been under q very uu-
usual and peculiar state of excitement, certainly
peculiar to Christian community in Christian
land, under a free government and in the nine
teenth century. 1t is an attempt of few bad
men-less than ten--to turn a church and people,
with the minister Of their choice, out of their own
house of worship, and they so far succeeded as to
swear out an injunction forbidding the pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church in Attica to
preach or attempt to preach or lead worship
therein, and to forbid one of the trustees of the
society worshippilg there to execute" the duties
of his Office; and, this not accomplishing the de-
sired end, these bad men, who had several Of them
co1trlved to get elected trustees, and then hold
on to their Office by neglecting to call
new election when their terms expired, they
hired roughs from abroad to break into the
church editice and hold it over Sabbath
that they might be able to swear they had posses
sion Of the church and held services therein. But
citizens drove out the intruders, and they,
after testilying that they were hired and did
not know the nature of the job they had under.
taken, were permitted to return to their homes.
Perhaps, to give your readers any correct idea
Of this war, it may be necessary to tell them how
it commenced. At the request of the cOngrega-
ton the pastor discharged the chorster-pOssibly
without good reason-and these would-be trustees
commenced series of threats and prosecutions
that compelled the young pastor to resign his
charge. His place was supplied by Rev. J. Watts,
and the new pastor refused to reinstate the old
chorister. This turned their vindctiveness against
him, and these bad trustees tried to get posses
sion of the church, and enlisted with them the
presiding elder (who had grudge to pay the
pastor), and the elder undertook to supersede
Watts. But the congregation were for Watts,
more than ten to one-nay fully 100 to one, and,
in the face of the elder, they voted without dis
sentng voice that their pastor should occupy and
control their pulpit, and that no one should oc-
cupy it without invitation from him.
This resolution was followed in week or two
by the injunction referred to. But in the mean.
time final election had been held and new trus-
tees were chosen in place Of those whose time
had expired. The trustees resolved that until the
injunction was raised they would close their house
aud guard it against intruders. They held the
keys the books and records, the communion
service, &C., and continued their possession, and
respected the unparalleled court proceedings
that put the gospel under injunction, holding the
church services IN public hall.
Last Sabbath, the injunction being raised, the
Methodist Episcopal church and its pastor
joyed free gospel; and as their church pro-
perty is held independent Of the conference, they
propose to continue freedom to worship Cod"

Tit Between n Western Catholic and
Eastern Protestant.

Eastern Protestant.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Your correspondent ("Western Catholic pro.
fesses to hope that the United States will become
Catholic, and thinks that the whole world will
become Catholic also. Let US see how nimsy his
hopes and how he is doomed to be disappointed.
1t is known that the population of the United
States doubles every twenty three years, and that
the increase of Catholics is wholly made up by
emigration chiefly from Ireland, there being no
additions to Catholicism from the natives Of the
country, nor is there any danger or prospect that
the natives Of the country Will ever be proselyted
to Rome, 1t is also well known that more than
one-haf of the emgrants to this country are anti.
Catholic or Protesants, and will doubtless
be so for all time to come. AS to
the world becoming Catholic the prospect
appears to be equally slim and remote and i'm
probable, as Rome will always be confronted by
the Protestant nations and the Greek Church. AS
for the five or six hundred millions of reading, in
telligent Chinese, the only way that they will
be converted to Christianity will be by print
ing the Scriptures in the Chinese language in q
cheap form and placing them in the hand Of every
Chinaman, and he will judge rightly for himself
with free conscience, and surely they will then
never become Catholics any more than Scripture
reading Protestants will In conclusion, from an
honest and unbiased survey of the world without
prejudice or any selfish motives whatever, the
world appears to be receding from Rome as it
has been doing for the last three or four hundred
years, and will assuredly continue to do so for all
time to come until the restitution ofal things shall
be consummated. EASTERN PROTESTANT.

Some Hints About the Human Voice

At recent lecture in the Royal As
sembly Room, Bennington, Mr.. Chas.
Lunn explained the qualifications re-
quisite in a musical instrument, and
passed on to speak of the human
voice, natures instrument. In order
to produce sound there must be air
or breath; but this did not produce the
tone or sound. The air must he set in
motion by means Of vocal organs, for
sound was air in motion. The human
vocal sound was the result of breath or
air Instructed in the organs of sound.
and that obstruction could be used at
will. He then gave q minute descrip,
ton of the nature, mode of action, and
capabilities of the vocal organs, re-
marking that the sound was produced
by the air coming from the chest
through the windpipe exciting the vo-
cal cords. The chief object Of master
or a pupil in that science, was to get
the greatest possible sound with the
least possible air. Intensity and
strength did not consist in or depend
upon the quantity of air consumed.
but the way in which it was used. He
characterized the idea of there being n
mchest voice" as stupid and erroneous.
Having enlarged upon various Other
points, including the voice as a means
of conveying thought, the influence OF
dialects, and the duties and objects ol
Q master, he concluded by a brief ref.
erence to the nature of stammerinp
and consumption. He said there wer1
various causes Of stammering, aud il
two cases only could it be treated witt
any hope OF success. If he were /,
