Trouble with III. Congregation.

lNhNaVo tribune
Some little time ago mention was n,odo
OF trouble between tho Rev. Miss Olyn-
pia Brown and the congregation az tho
Unitarian Church OF bridgeport. Conn
OF which she was pastor. Her advanced
views were not relishcd by some of the
congregation, and the interchange OF I'M
friendly remarks between pastoress and
people became source of newsn,ncr
comment. Since that time. Miss
Brown, or Mrs. Willis, as sin.
should be termed, was appointed to
preach until July, when one of The con.
gregaiion obtained AN Injunction forbid.

STRANGE sCENR IN A COURT ROOM.

An occurrence perhaps without a
parallel, was witnessed recently at the
close of the Assizes at Chester, Eng
land, of which the Manchester Guard
ian gives the following account: Mary
Lancaster, thirty three, was indicted
for the msnslaughter of her husband,
John Lancaster. of Birkenhead. He
had long lead the prisoner wretohed
life, and on September 13, he came
home drunk, and kicked over the meat
which she was preparing for dinner.
He then thrashed her, and in passion
the prisoner threw at him sharpening
steel and caused his death. The pris-
oner waa hard working woman, and
in spite of her husbands brutal treat.
ment of her, had done her best to mako
his home comfortable. The jury found
the prisoner guilty. Mr.. Justice Brett
addressing the prisoner, then said /; l
believe that if ! thought it right to act
according to your own feelings should
say nothing about this unhappy hus-
band of yours. AS far as can see,
you were a respectable, hard-working,
well-behaved wife, and | feel bound to
say greater brute than your husband
was l have seldom heard of There
are circumstances in the depositions
even worse than those which have been
brought forward. /. They show that
even on the very last day you were to,
gether you were doing all you could to
make his home comfortable, and to
make him happy. With brutality
which made me shudder when ] read
it, he cast away that which You had
prepared for him. he has been beat
ing and ill-treating you for months,
probably for years, and it is nothing
but the tenderness and forgiviness OF
the woman and wife which prevented
you from having him punished for
crimes he committed against you time
after time. 1t is only when he had
driven you to despe eration by i'll treat.
ing you the whole day, and / dare say
was on the point Of i'll treating you
again, that you, in a moment of pas.
sion, took up formidable weapon and
threw it at him, / believe, without the
intention of striking him. Il did strike
him, and you Immediately ran for as
sistance and did all you could TO save
him. All the real right in this case
was Oh your side-alI the real wrong
ON your husbands; and God forbid
that should punish you. l will be
no party to it. 1 will not even make
this judgment complete. ] will not
allow it to be said by anybody that
you are a convicted felon-(hear,

plete until sentence is passed, and |

cials of the court vainly endeavered to
suppress.) shall merely ask you to

She was not to be Laughed At.

The Bowling Green (Ky.) Paragraph
tells this story: Zone of our most
prominent citizens moved from the
country to the city few years since
with his family. In pursuance of a
custom at their country home, hus-
band and wife each MIXED enc of their
COWS. A lady neighbor happening to
go over one afternoon while the milking
was going on, asked Mrs. J. to let her
Try to milk. The COW, not liking such
familiarity from stranger, became res
tive and showed evidence Ct using her
hind leg in such a manner that the
visitor hastily resigned her position,
Immediately taken by Mrs. j., but the
COW not aware of the change, with one
blow upturned the milk bucket and
sent Mrs. J. sprawling ON the ground.
Mr.. j., is passionately fond OF q joke.
and had been watching the affair with a
great deal of interest, while quietly
milking his COW a few feet away, and
was fairly shaking his fat sides with
laughter, while Mrs. J. was shaking
out the disordered folds of her dress,
and knowing she had very quick ten
per, he was not surprised to see her
seize hickory stick. But instead OF
using it on the COW she cushed up to
him and exclaimed: "Just laugh once
more. Just smile even, and will wear
you out right here, you heartless
wretch ,"

A most remarkable discovery is re-
ported from the astronomical observa-
ton established by the Russian Govern
ment several years ago at Pamlateska,
the highest point, with one exception,
on the Hinlalayan range. For several
months a peculiar bright spot had been
discovered shining from the extreme
edge of the moons disk. at a point
where no mountains break the continu-
ity OF its perimeter. This light sud-
denly disappeared, and remained in
visible for nearly twelve months. It
has lately reappeared in greater bril-
liancy than ever, aid the immense
power OF the telescope attached to the
above observatory. so we'll known in the
scientific world, has developed the fact
that the light proceeds from some huge
FURNISHED substance, acting as mirror,
which must be at least 100 feet in di-
ameter. The next astonishing thing in
the matter is the almost complete proof
that this is actually a mirror of artificial
construction, and the theory of the sa-
vans at Pamlateska is, that it is erected
for observations Of scientific char
aoter, principally to observe the phases
Of the earth's surface. It is well known
that the immense height of that portion
of the moon which is turned toward the
earth, not only through the we'll known
laws of gravitation, keeps that por-
ton of her surface presented toward
us, but also renders it qninbabitaDle.
It is supposed that the side turned from
us may have an atmosphere suitable for
E. Il.
observing the halo Of light shed around
it's horizon by reflections from the
earth, may have taken this means to
ascertain the cause. Some ingenious
device to place mirror at height
where animal life could not be SUSTAIN
ed, was the result. It is hoped this
discovery may lead to others in regard
to our interesting satellite.

An Old Mans Fight With q Bear.
Rome IN. Y. Correspondence Utica Herald.

COAA>~NAANO OSACe
Samuel Ames, aged seventy-fiv years,
met with quite an adventure while out
on a visit to his nephew, near North
vile, Fulton county, a few days since
He went into the woods, near the house,
and was almost Immediately confronted
by 1nonstrous black bear, which had
been hidden in the brakes and under
brush. Mr. Ames sprang over fence
near by and the bear after him. The
animal attacked him with his paws, and
as Mr.. Ames had no weapon to defend
himself, he seized the bear by the long
hair at both sides. of the head, and held
the brute at arms length. The bear
kept his fore paws padding rapidly
and tore off all the old gentleman's
clothing on the front side to the skin,
scratching him considerably. The ami
NAL forced him TO his knees once or
twice, acting very savagely, and would
doubtless have manned and perhaps kill
ed him had he not obtained a piece Of
rail which he used with such good eff
feet as to drive bruin away. It was
thought to be female with cubs, and
that she made the attack in order to
give her young chance to escape. The
old gentleman showed good pluck al
least, and escaped with slight bruises
and scratches. The bear was taller than
Mr.. Ames when she stood erect on her
hind paws.
