Wife Murderer Hanged.

EVANSVILLE Ind, May Ga spe-
cial to the Eccntng Pntiic from Nor
gantield, Ky, says: III re was
great crowd Of people in town to sec
the hanging Of Moses Canton, which
took place between II and 2 p. IN.
to-day. The hanging was to have
been private, but the people Of Un-
ion county said if fence was built
around the scaffold they would tear
it down; and SO it was thought best
to let the people see it. Cation pro-
tested his innocence of the crime for
which he was hung. He murdered
a widow whom he married for a lit
tie property. After bringing her
home he and his family, including a
Mrs. Fritz, with whom he had been
living, prosecuted the woman and
abused her in every possible way,
finally hanging her Mrs Fritz is in
the penetentiary for life. Caton's
two sons will shortly be tried as ac-
completes. The execution was at
tended with the usual gallows exer-
cises.

spread or Spiritualism.

In many portions Of the North but
particularly in New England, the
Spirituaiistic craze is reported to
lave recently broken out with far
moro violence than ever before.
There is ALWAYS more or less belief
IN spiritualism i'll this country. with
chronic outbreaks Of II. but the pres
ent epidemic Is peculiarly severe.
There are villages III which the who,
population has apparently gone had
over 1t, and where the onl $ talk is
OF seances and mediums.
While there is nothing criminal
about spir;ualism, it can be made
and has frequently been made the oc-
casion for much swindling. The
country Is filled with pretended me
diums, who derive very coIuforta-
bic living by playing upon the cred
ullty of their victims. No attempt
has hitherto been made to stop their
game, but. of late, the matter has
aroused considerable attention, and
there has been warm expression
of opinion that the law ought to vin-
dicate itself, and to protect the com
munity from spiritualistic confidence
people as well as from other swin-
diers
Such at least, is the view taken in
ST Louis, where the action of the
Judge in holding the alleged spirit
ualist mediums, the Miliers, in $1,000
bonds each for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses Is causing sur
prise and giving Il great deal of sat
isfaction.
Tue Millers are pretended medi-
ums who bave leen making living
by their spiritualistic exhib itions.
Lately, while thus engaged, one Of
them was caught outside Of his cabi
net in the very Act OF playing trick
on his audience. Brought before
the Judge he was held under the sec
ton relating to trick and confidence
games and sent before the grand
jury. If the St Louis example
spreads to other cities we NAV eX-
rect to see n sudden halt Ill the
spread of spiritualism. Times DEM

trary, its apologist gives us a true
echo Of the sentiments of the Board
OF Directors, and if they agree with
him in seeing no use for their asso-

then they ought to give up the men
dacious name of Agricultural, and
allow it to be more justly assumed

perhaps Ivy the Planters Association,

of many various subjects connected

THE ROYAL HAWAIIAN STOCK
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION.

EDITOR BULLETIN IF your neigh
Dor the p. c. Adrertiser could be
once right, the above is the name
which ought to be assumed by what
has hitherto been termed the Royal
Hawaiian Agricultural Society. ''In
point of fact" says that authorita-
tive and experienced paper, g if we
exclude sugar and rice, which are in
the nature of specialties, there is no
agriculture II. tie country to speak
of, outside the raising of live stock.
The Planters Labor q Supply Com
pany occupies the sugar field, and
publishes a very useful monthly
magazine, while the Chinese have
practical monopoly of rice cultiva-
ton, and do not need any points
upon it. Tile only thing, therefore,
left for the Royal Hawaiian Agricul-
tural Society to do is to encourage
the introduction and breeding of live
stock"
Were the statements correct, what
confession of uselessness or i'm
potency, and of misdirected efforts,
would they not constitute against
the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural
Society, and this formulated by the
very paper that assumes to stand as
its official defender and apologist !!
And whilst putting one in mind that
"a wise enemy is preferable to an
imprudent FRIEND" wonld it not be
sufficient to explain why the public
do not sympathize with the Society,
or with the directions given to its
operations, fact which seems well
established through another previous
confession of the same paper, that
out of 100 members only 80 have
paid their yearly subscription!
However, for the honor of the
Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society,
/ am inclined to hope that the
Aavertiser's bearish" friendship
will be repudiated by its directors,
and that they will acknowledge that,
in spite of that papers limited opin-
ion of the agricultural possibilities
of the country, there is really some.
thing more--a good deal more-to
do than to turn all their attention to
cattle and breeding. l say, and !
am backed by the valuable opinion
of many competent men, perhaps OF
members of the society itself-that
at all times there are many branches
to be encouraged; but especially at
the present epoch, when the country
is getting sadly alive to the necessity
of applying for help to new agrioul-
tural resources, no one can deny
that there is ample room for a trut
agricultural society to do earnest
and good work, in studying the
capabilities of the soil, in procuring
information and elucidation on the
different new industries that arc
being suggested, and in searching
the possibility of reviving old lapsed
ones. No isolated man or men could,
in this respect, do as much for the
country, and help new settlers better
than well-organized society dedi-
Gated to Agriculture, and this ought
to be the duty of the present Royal
Hawaiian Agricultural Society, and
they have, if they need it, splen-
did precedent to copy, by referring
to the valuable and earnest work OF
the former Royal Hawaiian Agricul.
