Encounter With a Shark.

A recent number of the Honolulu
Gazette gives the following account of
the narrow escape of a native Sandwich
Islander from being devoured by a
shark:
"We learn from Kawaibae that about
two weeks since a native Kahoio was
attacked by shark while ON his way
from the shore to the fishing ground in
the bay. The old man was going out in
small canoe, which, by his weight,
was depressed in the water SO that his
legs were but few inches above the
surface. He had just passed beyond the
reef and was padding along unaware of
any danger, when large and hungry
shark made break for him. The jaws
of the ravenous fish closed upon the
mans thigh and the canoe, making a
hideous wound in the former, some
eleven inches long, aud tearing the
flesh from the bone nearly half the cir
conference Of the thigh, leaving it
hanging down in shreds as the teeth
drew away, and leaving in the wood of
the latter three or four teeth, broken
off. The man was nearly dragged out
of his canoe, and at the same time was
almost swamped by the onset of the fish,
which, disappointed Of its prey, imme.
diately disappeared. The old man,
though bleeding profusely from his sew.
eral wounds, was able to get his canoe
back to shore. thankful for escaping
with his life, and on landing received
from Mr.. Chillingworth and his native
neighbors whatever help they were
able to bestaw. From Mr.. Chillingworth
we hear that the wound is doing well,
and that the old man is in fair way of
recovering. The teeth that remained
in the canoe we're two inches across the
line where broken, thus indicating a
shark of unusual size as we'll as strength.
The accident has caused the natives of
Kawaibae to regard the placid waters
of their bay as somewhat more unsafe |
then they have heretofore been con.

hour of adjournment having arrived It was laid
over until the evening session.
The intervals between the morning and after
noon and the afternoon and evening sessions
were spent, mostly, in the lunch room, over
Messrs. Hanson's store, where the ladies of the
Churchville congregation had most amply pro-
vided refreshments. Notwithstanding the large
number present all were cordially invited to
partake, which they did, on both occasions, with
good cheer.
Att O'Clock, p. NJ, the house was again crowd

on the two remaining topics until o'clock,
when convention adjourned sine die to meet next
year at Bel Air, before which, however, the fol-
lowing resolutions were most cordially adopted :
ResOtved That the Sunday Schools throughout
the county be earnestly recommended to con-
tinuc their sessions throughout the wear.
RcSolVcd That the most hearty thanks of this
convention be rendered to the kind people
Of Churchville for their very hospitable en-

be rendered TO Prof. Harry Sanders, Mr.. Samuel
lIarman Rev, f. Il. Eshbach Mr. j. A. Houston,
and especially to the Maryland Sunday School
Union, through their State Superintendent Rev.
II. A. Smellz, for the very kind assistance rem
dcrcd this convention.
1t is worthy of note that one of the most in
tercsting and gratifying parts of the proceedings
was the excellent music led by Prof Sanders, of
Baltimore, assisted by the choir of the Church,
and other sweet voices. The convention was a
grand success.

WIFE BEATfNG.-On Thursday morning
of last week. II domestic quarrel, which near
ly resulted in murder, took place between
Lewis Fredericks and his wife, who live at
the Red Pump, near Bel Air. Fredericks
is shoemaker by trade, and is in the habit
of often INDUCING too freely in liquor. At
such times lie is very quarrelsome and actu-
ally dangerous. On the morning named he
arose in an i'll humor, and taking some Of
fence at his wife, threw a cup of water in her
face. Being a spunky woman, she retaliated
with breakfast plate, which was so well
aimed and delivered with such force as to cut
a cash in her dear husbands neck. This lit
tie episode, as might have been expected,
raised his ire, and selling his shoe. hammer
he undertook to correct her for her fault.
Unfortunately he showered his blows upon
her head so hard as TO cause the blood to
flow profusely and the woman nearly bled to
death before the crimson tide could be stayed
On Saturday Fredericks was arrested by the
Sheriff and not being able to find bail, was
committed to Jail by Squire Snowden.
