A Coming Scandal.

If all we hear is true, the public of this sleepy township are to be shortly regaled with the details of what may prove to be a cause celfbrf. The parties are none of them resident in Gisborne, although no doubt many of them are well known hare. It appears that the sister of a well known settler on the coast had parted from her husband and had gone to live in the same coastal town a* her brother, who, by the way, behaved to her in a handsome manner, building her a house and endeavoring bls best to make her comfortable. A gay Lothario, ip the shape of a prominent sheepfarmer, became enamoured of the lady, and by arts which are common in such being*, succeeding in winning her affections, with a result that only too often follows. Lothario was not unmarried, but hi* wifa lived in the tunny south in peaceful ignorance of the Carrying* on of her lord and master. The husband of the other party did not live so far away a* to be utterly oblivious of what was going on, and as coon a* he heard of the facts he embarked on a coastal steamer tor tha scene,' vowing dire and dreadful vengeance on tfie gay deceiver, By one of tho*e incomprehensible event*, the vengeance M the enraged husband was thwarted ley thn titpe being, for in landing from the steamer the surf boat capsized, with th* result that he got a savers ducking. This led to an attack of rheumatism, which scarcely fitted him for an assault on the not youthful, but wiry, Lothario. Second thoughts are often beat, and the rumination* of a sick bed have convinced the hueband that the Divorce Cfo'drt would be more suitable than the duelling gyojind'for viiidioaliiig his honor, We may therefore expect some washing of dirty linen shortly, cotjplcd with s claim for a respectable sum by way of damages.
