NorIN BROrHERLY LOVE.
A Sunday school Teacher Chokes His
Pastor ON q Small Provoeatiou,

GOSHEN, n. Y, May 25.-The residents
OF this staid old plsce are much excited
about a fight which took place in the Sun.
day School room OF the aristocratic St.
James's Episcopal Church while the school
was in session last Sunday. The combat.
ants were the rector Of the church and su.
perintendent Of the Sunday School,. the
Rev. Mytton Maury, DID,, and William 7.
Matthews, sen OF J. F. Matthews, Of the
late firm OF Matthews, Hunt,& Co., carpet
manufacturers OF Middletown, one OF the
teachers in the school. The church over
which the Rev. DR.. Maury preside is located
in the best part Of the place. The Matthews
family is considered wealthy and moved in
the best society. The son is about twenty
years Of age, aud the class he has been
teaching Is scomposed of young ladies', most
of,whom are daughters OF members Of the
church. Mrs. Matthews Is o daughter OF
the late, "Tommy" Thorne, rich citizen,
and has been q teacher in the Sunday
School many years. She has exerted con.
siderable influence in church affairs.
A faction opposed to the rector, consti.
tutes a very sMall minority OF the congre.
cation. Among this number is the Mat.
thews family. A week ago last Sunday
DR.. Maury and young Matthews had some
trouble, the rector thinking that Matthews
as teacher was not showing him proper
respect, at the sane time setting, as the
clergyman told him, q bad example for the
scholars. The rector and superintendent
told him that he must desist, or else dis.
continue acting as teacher. 1t is charged
that Matthews was very impertinent in his
reply, but the matter was then dropped.
Oh Sunday last DR.. Maury had made ar.
rangements for the young ladies 10 recite
to another teacher. He took the ground
that the superintendent should not only
be the head Of the school, but that his re-
quests should be complied with. This In
eensed young Matthews, and when the
doctor undertook to carry out his inten-
tons, Matthews offered forcible resistance.
He seized the minister by the throat, and in
the melee that followed, and which fright.
ened the scholars and created great conius.
ion, the rector suffered severe shaking and
choking; his whiskess we're pulled and his
face was scratched. Mrs. Maury came to
her husbands assistance, and in the strug.
gle to get the doctor away aud out Of the
clutches OF Matthews, she was violently
hustled to the side. The doctor finally got
hold OF Matthew'S arms, and prevented
further violence to himself and wife. Then
followed loud and angry talk, and finally,
DR.. Manry'got the entire school, or those
that remained, to 60 into the main church
edifice, where the exercises were continued
to the end. Matthews is said to have re-
mained in the chapel, and before leaving
made, tits alleged, dire threats against the
clergyman. .

FREDDIE,s HONOR.
Club Men Say He Must Demand satIsfae
tion or Re UstrAcixed.

NEw YoRx, May 25-The Gebhardt-
SANFORD quarrel has not, by any means,
ended yet, and II the attempts Of Mr.. Geb-
hardt's friends are as successful as they de.
sire, Mrs. Langtry's hero will yet meet his
adversary upon the field othonor.
The lll.leeling between the two men
arose out Of an old teud. A couple years
ago, so the story goes, Gebhardt took oC-
easion to seriously annoy Mr.. sandford by
distracting his attention during game Of
polo. Freddie, in order to raise laugh,
threw ball, unperceived, near Sandtord's
pony, so as 10 confuse him during the play.
Il was not known at the time that Mr.. Geb
hsrdt was the4ofender. List year, at
Saratoga, ther Incident came up, while
Messrs. Gebhasds- and Sandford were in
the same company.
Mr.. Sanford is said 10 have used some
pretty strong language, to which Gebhardt
ret6rted by calling him "a blank country.
man." Ever since there has been bad
blood between the two men.
Messrs. Wright Sanford (who is no rela.
tive to the William G. Sanford Of the quar-
rel), Sturgis and Montant, three OF Geb-
hArdts warmest associates, consider that
Mr.. Gebhardt should not allow the matter
to rest, and indicate that there Is only one
course open to Freddie to redeem his
wounded honor; that Is to demand instant
satisfaction.

KINGSTON, n. Y, May pa serious
church difficulty has arisen in St Johns
Episcopal Church at Delhi, Delaware
county, N. Y, which has already caused
serious disafrsction among the members
and bids fair to break up the church. The
Rev. James C. Kerr, the present rector
came in February, 1852. He succeeded
the Rev. DR.. Lewis, who was asked to re.
sign by a majority Of the members by rea.
son Of his habitual intoxication, as they
alleged. Some twenty or more OF the
pastors flock, however, still clung to him,
and desired him to remain; and from this
time division in The parish has existed.
The present trouble seems to be caused
by the extreme Ritualism and High
Church innovations Of the new pastor, who
rules the church with bign hand and
with little regard to the wishes OF the
people. Not content with the ordinsry
ceremonials OF Ritualism, Father Kerr
soon introduced the confessional OF the
Romish Church. and he act apart two
afternoons, weekly, upon which he could
hear confessions irIthe sacrsy. His peo'
pie objected, and more than half Of them
left the communion
He is reputed as man Of wealth, and
hence he Is able to carry out his plans
without touching the pockets OF those who
oppose him In the parish. He has altered
the church edifce to make ii conform to
his notions. He hires three pastors, Faith.
ers Weils, Turner and Grabain, who assist
him in the services, the former receiving
$500 per annum. He has u paid choir and
organist, and his annual report shows an
expenditure for music during the year Of
sl,7OO. In addition to this he has now en-.
gagged an orchestra from Biughamton,
which will adj to the imposing s0lemnity
