A CHURCH ROW REVOLVERS WERE The trouble between the pastor and the peo- ple of the colored Methodist church at Lee, Mass., nearly resulted in a riot Sunday. Last week it was decided by the court that Rev. Mr. Ackworth, who was sent there by the New England conference, was entitled to the pulpit, but a trustee by the name of Freeman deter- mined that Ackworth should not officiate, and Sunday he locked and barred the door of the | chureh. Ackworth, with some of his followers, | smashed in a window, and was assaulted by Freeman, who was inside, and who struck Ack— worth violently in the face.

A candid critic on a country journal haying been detailed to write up a musical perform- ance, forgot ahd wrote up the concert just as it occurred: Granp ConceRT.—The regular annual exhi- bition of good clothes and bad music, that has grown to be a feature of the musical world in Shawneetown, came off last evening at the Opera House. Every seat in the hall was taken, for our patient community has become accus- tomed to this affliction, and submits to it with- out a murmur four or five times a year, very much as they take quinine in the spring. Those people who came stamping in late, as usual. after the Shawneetown style. are to be congratulated this time, as they escaped hear- ing the ‘Arion Quartet” sing ‘Here in Cool Grot.” It is due to the “Arion Quartet,” how- ever, to say this was not the worst singing of the evening. The audience thought it certainly would be the worst; and so, indeed, it was, uatil later in the evening the same quartet butchered “Come Where My Love Lies Dream- ing.” It was dreadful beyond description, and the deafening applause which followed it only testified the great joy of the audience on being assured that the ‘Arion Quartet” would sing no more that evenin; Miss Abigail McGinnessy rendered a recita- tive and an ai by Cappola, in the manner that has long azo become so sadly familiar to our suffering people. and is always a source of profoand embarassment to the accompanist, who floundered along last night in the patient but vain hope of getting even with the singer somewhere by scrambling across-lots and he: her off in some unusually prolonged run But this was impossible, and singer and. a companiment were never within six bars of other durin tie whole of the alleged per- ce. Mr. Poundawa, the time-honored nist in all these aflairs, by the w did pn worse than usual last evening. We are ned to notice that his habit of playing on the of the piano, two inches away from the keys, crows upon him, and he should either change his drink or his vocation. J Mrs. Bangaloi ed “Monastery Bells,” as ual. It was disguised under a French name in the program: but one knows what is coming after Mrs. long finally gets the piano moved into precisely the right place— which is always Just where it stood before she had it moved the first time—and after seating herself for the fiftieth time, finally concludes to remain seated. Mrs. Bangalonz’s unvarying habit of wearing her gioves to the piano and occupying seven minutes in remoying them is not an affectation. It is an act of merey and gives the people nearest the door an opportunity out before she begins to play. The reporters of the city press used to go out at this time; but since Bangalong has taken to standing at the door to watch refugees. they have, with excellent taste and better judgment, abandoned the custom, and silently swallowed their full cup of misery. As Mrs. Bangalong left the stage, John Garbey, who was asleep in the gallery, feli off his chair, and, mistaking the noise for an encore, Mrs. Bangalong returned and pounded out the “Maiden’s Prayer.” Somebody ought ed a violin solo—De ‘erybody was grate- ful that he didn’t try the eighth. The professor dre: like a waiter, and handles a fiddle like a graduate from a side-show. He is in great de- mand at all the dances down at Wyseker's Branch and the Sassafras Bottoms, and it is be- ved, infact, that ali his musical education vas acquired at Dan Coseinan’s store, at the old ford, on Clymer’s Creek. He is trying to getup a class in this city, and ifthis man attempts to teach our boys to play the fiddle as he does, he ought to be lynehe Miss Uppercea played the same old “impro- ation” she began playing in these concerts eighteen years azo. It lasts about as well as her diamonds, and ch nges about as little. It is time she had it published and improvised some- thing new. Jim Thurlow came out and sang his unchang- ing “Ah. so ir.” The-agony of the audience i of trial was fairly insupport- His high notes are greatly admired, be- cause his yoice always breaks into a thin setto squeak on them, and he can't make so much noise as he can on his chest tones. If Jim had been born dumb, or his audience deaf, the world would be much hapy xcuse for putting Miss Maltby on time there is a concert in her father is worth 8,000 est brewery in. Lowell county. With a voice, musical education, and general ability about her up to the grade of “Baby Mine,” she sung her old stand-by last night. the “Spinning - Wheel Song,” from “Faust.” If Marguerite could have sung it as Miss Itby sang it, it would have saved the poor child a world of trouble. It would have scared Faust Mephistopheles, and the whole gang ofthem out of the country. There is more music in Mr. Maltby’s bung-starters than there is in his daughter. Mr. Bellows sang “Oh, Ye Tears.” Mr. Bel- lows has a rich baritone voice—a wheelbarrow tone, that is. Unfortunately for his effort last evening, nobody knew he was singing until he finished the butchery of art and bowed himself off the staze. Everybody thought he was just trying his voice. If ever his voice is tried, it vi convicted on its own evidence. James H. Blowson and Elbert Hafut sang “Larboard Watch.” It is a great pity these young men are not aware that their mouths were made to catch flies with rather than for singing. Hafut’s voice is so like a fog-horn that he doned for a tendency to sing ma- ; but aside from a plea of natural de- pravity and fiendish misanthropy there is no ex- cuse whatever for Blowson’s attempting to sing in public. These misguided young men were down on the program for a second atrocity, but it was omitted at the urgent request of the au- dience. The p.ano used at this massacre was the same lingling old harpsichord from the music store or Jingle, Jangle & Co. that has appeared for a free puff at ali local outrages of a musical na- ture in the last twenty years. Last winter this enterprising house traded off the old duleimer for a silver watch; but the man who got the alleged piano brought it back, paid $7 forfeit, and got his watch, and we suppose all future, concerts In Shawneetown will be haunted by this venerable nightmare until the police inter- fere. Our readers will be delighted to learn that is is the last concert of the season, and a man go to the opera house in safety tor the next xX months. The receipts of the pandemonium were over #130, and old Hardwich, proprietor of the hall, with’ his accustomed rapacity, gobbled nearly one fourth of that sum for the use of an old barn that looks shabby in comparison with a second rate market house. Six of the thickest headed young men in Shawneetown, in bor- rowed dress coats, acted as ushers, and acted most wretchedly at that. Taken altogether, it was the dreariest occasion that has bored a long suffering community since the concert that pre- ceded it. ge Dreadful Violatien of Fashion Edicts. A lute number of a well-known fashion jour- nal says: “Annie of Austria collarets are suitable only for matinee jackets. Turkish fez caps are worn only as breakfast caps.” Ap- propos of these edicts of fashion an inci- dent: Seated near a couple of ladies at the Grand the other night we overheard a portion of their conversation. Said one:You notice that Ihave on an Annie of Austria collaret.” 5 “Yes,” responded the other. “What could you have been thinking about, my dear; you know they are only worn at matinees.” “Of course I do, and I feel so mortified. I don’t see huw 1 came to make such an awful blunder. What in the world will people think? But I am always doing something dreadful. The other day I went downto dinner with my fez cap on. Just think of it, wearing a break- fast cap to dimer! Did youever hear anything 8o ridiculous In your life?” And the other lady avowed that she never had. A brutal fellow next to us who nad been lis- tening to this conversation turned to us, and, in a voice distinctly andible to the ladies, said: “Queer what funny mistakes a man will make about his toilet. You wouldn't believe it, now, but it’s afact that I've come here to-night with my suspenders on wrong sie out.” ‘Great Carsar! is that fo!” we ejaculated. “Yes,” said he. “and { never felt so darn ashamed in my life. But I’ve done worse things than that.” 4 gh “Impossible!” - “Yes, sir; only last Sundky I went to church with my opera hat on, and fe next night I took in avariety show in my Sumilay boots.” and then the horrid thing went out t get a drink. 2 Cyrus Barber, of Westedy, Rhode Isiand. hile on the subject SPRING, THE HINDOO sUTTEE. the Fancral Pyre of Her Burning Deceased Busband, Frem the Calcutta Bengalee. In the remote village of Gader Dehee, in the district of Bauhurah, there are to be seen two small tombs on the bank of a small lake, con- taining the holy ashes of a young lady who burnt herselr alive on the funeral pyre of her deceased husband. The name of the husband of the lady was Brahamand Gossain, and he died of fever, inthe morning. She wept not, but sat by the body of her dead husband. How we wished that she could give yent to her feelings and relieve herself. But no, shesat and uttered neither a sigh nor agroan. At last she rose and proceeded straight way towards the Tkakoor Ba- Tee to the image of the god Krishna. There she went, followed by many men and women, and prostrated herself before the god. Then she stood, and began to divest herself of the orna- ments she had on her person.. One by one she took them and placed tiem at the foot of the god, forthe first time speaking: ~Here, my Lord, take them, I need them no longer.” And then she slowly came back to where the body of her hus- ins She then addressed her brother-in-law, and she said: “Prepare for the ceremony of cremation, and you know I can’t live without him. I must accompany him.” Th h her relations, friends and neighbors had allsuspected that something serious was pending, the first. announcement with a shock which could not be described. ‘Then followed dissuations, and her friends, re tions and neighbors all begau to dissuade her to no purpose. The uncle-in-law, the mother-in- . Whom a Hindoo lady is bound to revere hext to her God, commanded and then earnestly pleaded to her to forbear; but she was not to be moved. Then came the guroo, the purohit, whom, as her spiritual guides, she was bound to. obe: They tried their best, but she was deter- wined. Time rolled on, and she wavered not for a moment. TI e was resorted to. Her fears were appealed to; they described he horrible and painful sufterings of a living man upon a funeral pile. At first she disdained to give replies to their appeals to. her s, but at last when obliged to say somethin, if ou need not be any has fled with my lord.

Crowds had then collected trom all parts of the country. It was then about 4 p.m., and the corpse was carried | to the burning ghat on the bank of the small lake, only about a couple of hundred y; from the house. and the lady followed, foll by thousands of men, chanting jaribole. crowd then began to collect dry fi heaps were gathered in a moment. funeral pile was in the process of bez prepared the corpse was bathed, and the lady herself p formed her ablutions. She then put on vermil- lion on her torehead, and di ed herself ina new Saree (cloth for ladies) and then slowly en- tered the funeral pile. Her hair was properly adjusted by her friends, and th adorned her with garlands and wreaths of flowers. The crowd then with tearful eyes begged of her blessings and some tokens from her to be kept in remembrance of 1 st sacrifice. She iS supplied with plantains, betelnuts, ete., and she began to throw handfuls of them amongst the crowd. She then laid herself y the corpse of her husband in the posture of ‘arm embrace, She gave the order, and the pile was lighted in several places, and there was at once a blazing fire. The Suttee raised her right hand and began to utter the name of Horee, turning her hand round and round. She was dead before the fire had reached her sacred person. - Thus a Hindoo widow ended her life on the funeral pyre of her husband. Her husband was ead, and the world appeared to her a dreary waste. She was deterinined to follow her lord to the unknown world, undeterred by the solici- tations of her friends and relations and the temptatic 3 Her fears were appealed to, but in vain. She felt she could not live a momeat without her lord; she must accompany him; and under the influence of this overwhelming impulse she entered the flames without the least display with an alacrity which surpasse: We ask who can contemplate thi scene, this wondrous spectacle, without feeling sort of veneration for the lady who thus offered herself as a sacrifice on the altar of eon- nubial duty? May her spirit rest in peace, and from its place in the heavens shed light upon her surviving brothers and sisters, and upon her countrymen, and inspire them with courage in the accomplishment of their ends in life. See SE THE SWISS WATCH TRADE. While the Effects of Foreign Competition—An Im- provement in the Demand. The London Times’ Geneva correspondent writes: According to the annual report of the Swiss Handels und Industrie Verien, the Swiss watch trade during the last thirty years, has un- dergone some notable changes. The more gen- eral use of machinery, the establishment of fac- tories, and the introduction of improved methods of manufacture have cheapened pro- duction and led to a great extension of busi- ness. In these factories watches, with some trifling exceptions, are made from beginning toend as they are made in the large American watch factories. It is, nevertheless, not the case, as is sometimes asserted, that Ameri- cans were the first to make watches by ma- chinery. A firm at Geneya, Vacheron & Con- stantin, had a factory, and turned out watches by machinery before a single watch was made in the United States, and the Americans pro- cured their first watch-making machinery in Switzerland. But Geneva has lost its ancient supremacy in watch-making. Fine watches (montres soignees) are put together and regu- lated here, but the greatest market in the country, probably in Europe, is Chaux-de- Fonds, in canton Neuchatel. The factory sys- tem is being largely adopted in the newer watch-making districts, such as the Bernese, Jura and the town of Bienne. The latter place is fast becoming a sort of horological Sheffield. Many Geneva houses have found it expedient to establish comptoirs here, and a trade of which Geneva had once the monopoly—the makin of watch cases—has gone altogether to Bienne. The movements of complicated watch chronographs, repeaters and perpetual calendars—are still made exclusively in the valley of Lake Joux, and no place in and out of Switzerland shows any disposition to di ite the supremacy or the mountaineer of the Vau- dois Jura in this,the highest branch of horologic art. The report from which I quote observes that one of the results of the extension of me- chanical watch-making has been to deprive Swit- zerland of the practical monopoly in the produc- tion of time-keepers which she once enjoyed. She has now several toreign competitors, Amer- ican competitors, “albeit their pretentions a1 as lacking in modesty as their goods in quality,” are regarded as the most formidable—in Amer- ica. This competition has, however, a favor- able side, for during the last two years Ameri- can watchmakers have procured many of their “movements” and their most tastefully executed cases in Switzerland, English and German com- petition, especially German, is mentioned with something like contempt.’ '.
