Vet, aa if grieving to efface All veaUge at the human race, ■Blood nitons the tea; The Railboam.—For some time past a lit tle breeze of excitement, says the Banner, fans been kept op in New Orleans by McCombs, one of the leasees of the Mississippi Central Railroad, and Gen. Beauregad, President of the New Orleans and Jackson road. The two roads meet each other at Canton. It se that McCombs ooreted Beauregard's road, in order that he might control and principally own the entire line of railway from New Orleans to Nashville. With this object fall in view McCombs went into tho market and bought np a large portion of the stock of Bean- regard’s road, and thereby scented the election of himself as President, together with a Board of Directors friendly to himself President Beauregard and tho old board refused to sur render the road, and have been enjoined by the coart from hindering the McCombs party from administering the aSairs of the company. There are somo legal points involved in the controversy which will have to be disposed of by the courts. McCombs has the money to work with, and as he seems not averse to using it liberally, he will doubtless succeed in oust ing Gen. Beauregard. The Nashville and Northwestern railroad managers have had agents in Bt. Bonis for the past week or two looking to the extension of tho Iron Mountain road to some point in ternee ting with the Northwestern road. It is agreed by all that ita accomplishment is only a question of time. The railroad authorities have determined to moke some preliminary surveys this spring. Two routs are suggested, one from Columbus to some point at or near Union City, and tho other from Charleston to Hickman. In our last issue, says the Albany News, we stated that the South Georgia and Florida Railroad would be completed to tho opposite side of the river early this week, and that it was purposed by the company to give the citi zens along tho lino an excursion over the rood. The track, all to laying the iron about a mile and a half is completed, and but for some de tention on the Albany and Gnlf Rood, that weald have been finished to-day. The iron is constantly expected, and on arrival will be mediately laid down. The Lynchburg Virginian givosa rumor that a proposition will soon he made by curtain parties to bny ont the interest of Virginia in the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, paying for the stork dollar fiir dollar in tho bonds of the State. The parties purchasing guarantee the nae of this great line ns a grand trank highway without discriminating or entangling alliances in any quarter. The Selma, Rome and Dalton road is to be ready for the running of trains by the first of next month. Grading on tho Alabama and Chattanooga railroad lias reached a point within sixteen miles of Eiyton. The Jury Service, The New York Times forcibly remarks: There is n growing cnuvietiou of the absur dity of the existing law regulating the impan eling of juries, and the disabilities from serv ing. Every little while a notable trial is had which affords a new demonstration of the fact, and the wonder is that it has not liecn reme died before. The idea that a man should be disqualified for average intelligence-^which is the practical result of tho existing practice ia ridiculous. There is reason for excluding a person from a jury who has become preju diced to an extent that would seriously affect bis verdict, but not in a ease where his only impression has been derived bom reading the newspapers. A man who does not read the papers and keep posted on current events, is pretty surely a dance who is unfit to sit upon a jury. If newspapers would confine them selves to legitimate •ainment on crime, the rule for selecting juries might very properly be reversed, making it good ground of chal lenge tar a person not to be a reader of daily journals. There is no doubt that such a rule would elevate the Intellectual standard of juries. Tile Mining Interests of California, California papen give as some curious facts iu regard to gold productions. In eight years it has fallen off bom *30,000,000 to 33,000,000, and has now become a legitimate business, yielding no more average remuneration than any other, if as much. Tho business has fallen into the control of associated capttol, and the miners themselves receive wages averaging about *4 a day. No large increase of produc tion is anticipated for tho next few years, al though it ia thought that mining will become a steady and recognized American industry in the future, the suae as manufacturing and ag riculture. Just at present there is a difficulty lietween the mining companies and the labor The formor assert that they ore unable to make dividends with wages as nt present, while the men are strenuously resisting any reduction. The consequence is that very many of the mines ore not hang worked, and those which are do not offer the proprietors any induce- inent for doing so vigorously.

The Bichmond papers of Thursday, all come to us in deep mourning for the dead who were ushered into eternity by the sad and terrible accident of Wednesday. The Dispatch says: THE CATASTEOFE. The room of the Court of Appeals was the scene of this horrible occurrence, and ita many historic nssodations- and reminiscences have culminated in an affair which beggars descrip tion, and which will be remembered os long os Richmond is a city. As is well known, the remit. Members of the Legislature, visitors to tho city from all parts of the country, mem bers of the bar, representatives of both police foaces of the city, members of the press snd representatives all classes snd conditions of life In order that the account may be better un derstood, we give herewith a DIAOSAM or THE COURT BOOM. rn 1 El □ m □ I A.

OCCIDENTS. Mr. Thomas Joynos fell together with Dr. J. It. Brock, and his month Tested against the Doctor’s cheek: He asked who it was near him. He told him bis name, and ho asked him in ease he survivud to carry many messages of affection to his fiunily. With words of endearment and love for those he left behind, be died. Mr. Bush Burgess fell on top of a gentle man whose name be could not learn. He : “My friend, can yon not move a lit tle?” Mr. Burgess replied: “No, I can not stir." “Wall,” said he, “I must die. Good bye.” During the lime in which Hon. George Wil liam Brant, of Alexandria, was covered In the ruins, Mr. Chandler, who was between the window and Mr. Brent, was endeavoring to get away, when Mr. Brent eanght him by the arm and begged him, for God's sake, to let him get some air, but in Mr, Chandler’s posi tion, it was impossible for him to move until assistance wss rendered. In a short time, however, he was taken oat and his life saved. We learn from Mr. Chandler, who was do ing well late last evening, that Mr. Samuel A. Eaton was sitting on the bock of his chair when the floor fell through- Eaton wss killed and Mr. Chandler not seriously injured—such escapee are most remarkable. The Conservative caucus which had met in the Hall of the House of Delegates adjourned not many minutes before the calamity. For tunately there had been s dispute about the judgeship of Henry county,and on adjournment was neccssoiy. Had this not been the case, more than half of the Legislature would have been crushed. Dr. Thompson, member of the House of Delegates from Hanover, was caught under two men, who were instantly killed by a heavy falling beam. He himself was slightly in jured. Mr. P. H. Keenan was buried beneath the ruins for threreqnarters of an hour, and was found, nearly suffocated, under the dead bodies. He has almost entirely recovered. THB THZOBY or THE ACCIDENT. From conversations with several who were in tho Court room at tho time of the fall, we learn the following os the true theory of the accident: Thu large girder which was ander the partition betweeu the Clerk's office and the Court room snapped in twain, and imme diately afterward the floor commenced to cave. The support of the crowded gallery having given way, the gallery parted from the wall and fell over into the center of .the Court room, crushing through the floor and precip itating the mass nt human beings nud rubbish into the hall below. We ezamined the girder, and found that it had broken off just in the ceutor. It was hewn timber, and jast where it broke was a cut, as if the workman in hew ing had m ule a' mislick and driven his adz into tho wood about a quarter of an inch. THE CAPITOL. Tho Whig says: Tho northern wall of the Capitol has sprung two or three inches in tho center, and will no doubt be condemned ns unsafe. The ends of the girder, which gave way Wednesday, rested upon only four inches of brick work, where tho builders reduced the thickness of the walls. The edifice has long presented a dilapidated and time-worn appearance, and but for the financial embarrassment of tho Commonwealth movement would long since have been in augurated for the erection of a new Capitol. We stated yesterday that tho Capitol was erected in 1793 from designs furnished by a French architect The work was executed under the direction of an architect named John Dobie. The building ia 134 feet long, 70 feet wide, and 45 feet high, exclusive of the base ment INCIDENTS, SCENES, ETC. Mr. Biamire, one of tho victims, had intend ed to celebrate the first anniversary of his wed- ed life, Wednesday night by the entertain ment of a few frienda. On the arrival of bis remains at bis residence on Church Hill, his wife WHS rendered almost Insane. She was un aware of bin death until only a few minutes be fore his lifeless remains were brought home. By a telegram from Alexandria, we learn that Mrs. Brewis, wife of T. A. Brewis, died yesterday morning from excessive grjef at the news of the death of her husband, A lady and gentleman from Brooklyn, New York, bad jast pammt by the crowded gallery on their way to the roof of the Capitol when the disaster occulted. Their guide, a colored man, named Walker, conducted them under tho ratters of the roof to the southern end ot the building, where on entrance was ioroed in to the upper gallery of the library. The visi tors were thus enabled to reach terra finnaotxco more. Dr. T. S. Maddux, of Baltimore, who hap pened to be in tho city, rendered surgical aid to the sufferers. He found in the pockets of Mr. Banghan, the package of *6,000heretofore referred to, and took charge of it until he met with Mr. B.'a nephew, J. A- Lipscomb, to whom he delivered it Captain Charters' life was insured for $5,000, in the Universal Company, of New York. Mr. W. H. Davis was insured for *1,000 in the same company. Mr. Hugh Hutchinson held a policy of $7,000 in the Piedmont Company, and paid the premium due thereon » short time before ho want into the “jaws of death.” Mr. Julius A. nobaon 'was insured tor *5,000, and Mr. Maury for $3,000, in the Manhattan Info Insu rance Company, of New York.

Valen tine, yesterday, in response to the request of the Bichmond Pleas Club, through ita chief executive officer, took an admirable cost of the late Mr. Aylett. bichmond’s foist nosaait!—1811—1870. The following account of the burning of the Bichmond Theatre, in 1811, will he read with mournful interest in connection with the de tails of the twin calamity which occurred yes terday: era the nirhrand Enquirer of Dec. 38,1811.] OVEEWHELHINO CALAMITY. In the whole soiree of our existence, we have never taken our pen muter deeper gloom than we fee! at this moment. It tails to oar lot to record one of the most distressing scenes which can happen in the whole circle of hu man affairs. The reader must excuse tho in coherence of the n&rratirc; there is scarce a dry eye in this distracted city. Weep, my fol- low-citizens; for wa ham seen a night of woe, which scarce any eye hod seen, or ear hath beard, and no tongue ran adequately tell. How can we describe the scene? Ho pen can point it; no imagination can conceive it A whole theater wrapt in flames—a gay and animated assembly suddenly thrown on the Tery verge of the grave—many of them. Oh! how many precipitated in a moment into eternity—youth and beauty, and old age and genius overwhelmed in one promiscuous ruin —shrieks, greens, and human agony in every shape—this is the heartrending scene that we are called upon to describe. Wo sink under the effect. Header, excuse our feelings, for they are the feelings of a whole city. Let ns ooilect our ideas as we can. On Thursday night a new play and a new after piece were played for the benefit of Mr. Fladde. Crowds swarmed to the the theater —it was the fullest house this season—there were not less than 600 present The piny went off—pontomim^began.Ithe first act was OTet The whole scene was before us, and all around us was mirth and festivity. Oh, God I what a horrible revolution did one minute produce. The curtain rose on the second act of the panto mime—the orchestra was in full chorus, and Mr. West came on to open the scene, when sparks of fire began to fall on the back part of the stage, and Mr. Robertson came ont in un utterable distress, waved his hand to the ceil ing, and uttered these appalling words: “Tho house is on fire.” His hand was immediately stretched forth to the persons in the stage box to help them on the stage, and aid their retreat in that direction. This is all that we eanght of the stage; the cry of fire, fire, passed with electric velocity through the house—every one flew from their seats to gain the lobby and stairs. Tho soene baffles all description, tho most heartrending cries pervaded the house; “save me,” “save me;" wives asking for their husbands; females and children shrieking, while the gathering element come rolling on its carting flames and column of smoke, threatening to devour eveiy human be ing in the building. Many were trod under foot Several were thrown back from the windows, from which they were straggling to leap. The stairways were immediately blocked up; the throng was so great that many were raised several feet over the heads of the rest; the smoke threatened an instant destruction. We &nnot dwell on this picture. We saw—we felt it—tike others we ) ourselves up for lost We cannot depict Many leaped from the windows of the first story and were saved. Children and females and men of all descriptions, were seen to pro tate themselves on the ground below, st of these escaped, thongh several of them with broken legs and thighs, and hideous con tusions. MosC if not all, who were in tha pit, escaped. Mr. Taylor the last of the musicians who quitted the orchestra, finding his retreat by the back way cat off, leaped into the pit, whence he entered the semi-circular avenue which leads to the door of the theater, and found it nearly empty- He was tho last that escaped from the pit How melancholy that many who were in the boxes did not also jump into the pit and fly in the same direction, bnt those who were in the boxes above and be low poshed for the lobbies, many, os has been said, escaped through the windows, bnt the most of them had no other resource than to descend the stairs. Many escaped in tins way, but so great was the pressure, that they retar ded each other until the devouring element ap proached to sweep them into eternity. Several who even emerged from the building vt'i much scorched, that they have since peris] Some even jumped from the second story window; somo others had been dreadfully burnt. The fire flew with a rapidity almost beyond example; within ten minutes after it caught the whole house was wrapt in flames. The colored people in the gatiery, most of them escaped through the stairs out off from the rest of the bouse—some have no doubt fallen victims. The pit and boxes had bnt one com mon avenue only through which the whole crowd oonld escape, save those only who leaped through the windows. Bnt the scene which ensued is is impossible to paint—women with disheveled hair, fathers and mothers shrieking out for their children, husbands for their wifes, brothers for their sis ters, filled the whole area on the out side of the building. A few who had escaped plung ed again into the flames to save some dear ob ject of their regard, and they perished. The Governor, perhaps, shared this melancholy late. Others were frantic and wonhl have rushed to destruction bnt for the baud of a friend. The bells tolled—almost tho wholo town rushed to the fatal spot The flames must have caught to the scenery from some light behind. i to be risen saw it when it was no longer than his arm. Young saw it on the roof when it first burst through. Eveiy article of the theater was consumed, as well as the dwelling house next to it; hut what is wealth in comparison to tlio valuable lives whic!) have gone forever. The whole town is shrouded in woo. Heads of families extin guished forever. i>nd many is tho house m which a chasm lias been made that can never be filled up. SOMNAMBULISM. Singular fau nt Cold Sprln , X. V.—The Poughkeepsie Correspondence N. V. Horahl, April 22.J The people of Cold Soring, N. Y., a little village nestled among the highlands of the Hudson, opposite West Point, ore in a state of wonderment over tho mysterious disappear ance of a lad named Henry Mclvers, known in that community as a 'musical prodigy. Young Mclvers is not quite fourteen years of ago, and his father aiul mother reside near Cold Spring. They came here from Doncas ter, England, when Henry was about two years of age. A few years after their arrival Henry commenced to exhibit a wonderful tal ent for music. This desire on the youth’s port attracted tho attention of Gov. Paulding, and Henry's parents being in humble circum stances, Mr. Paulding offered to provide a musi cal teacher for the boy. This offer was grate fully acoeptod by the parents and Prof. Ap pellee of West Point, well-known to the musi cal world, was appointed his tutor. The boy learned rapidly, so fast indeed os to excite the suprisc of the Professor. He was constantly at his studies, and in a short time excelled on the violin, could play a piano, flute, guitar, $c., and very soon became a pet among the best families, often being invited to family fire sides. Suddenly it was observed that he had token to talking in his sleep, and acting very restless at nights. The father and mother watched his nightly slumbers vigilantly, with much concern of mind, which was greatly in tensified by the lad showing unmistakable signs somnambulism. At length a remarkable in cident happened him. About one year ago he rose from his bed in the middle of the night, fast asleep, and attiring himself in his everyday clothes, left his home without the knowledge of his parents, and started toward the Hudson River Railroad track, still fast asleep. Once upon the direct line of the road he faced Northward and walked to Break neck Tunnel, where he laid down by the side of the railroad track. At dawn of day a train of cars came thundering throngh the stone archway, the locomotive whistle screeching, and the noise of clashing iron awakening the boy somnambulist Frightened beyond de scription he rolled over into the river before the train reached him, and after great exertions managed to escape from drowning by the slight embankment, when he started down the track for home again, drenched to the skin, and cry ing bitterly. He was intercepted by a flagman, named David Nolan, to whom he told his sto ry, and called piteously for his mother. The good natured signal man gave him some bread and tea, when he started for home again. The grief-stricken parents received him with open arms, and listened with pity at his relation of his night’s adventure. Shortly after Henry's younger brother died, when he partly ignored music, and his parents thought well of the change. He soon got to studying again, however, and once more restless nights came upon him, till lost Friday night, when another incident occurred. He had been to Newburg that day to purchase a new box for his violin, and returned just at dusk, consider ably fatigued. After supper he remarked: Ah! mother, home, sweet home; I don’t like the big cities any more,” aud retired. Soon after nine r. m. Mrs Mclvers thought she heard a noise in his room, and going into it observed Henry trying to climb np a large cupboard.— His eyes were wide open, and shono with a singular brilliancy. He paid no attention to her entrance whatever. Seeing he was in ihe walked up to him and tapped hi lightly on the back for the purpose of awaken ing him, and said: ‘‘Henry, what are you do ff?” He replied, still climbing and without oking at her: “I am going to make it all right in a min ute; this white rabbit; I’ll make it all right.” Striving to awake him, the mother tapped him the second time, when he gave a piercing scream and dropped to the floor, wide awake, exclaiming, “Oh, mother, you frightened me; what are you doing there ?’ Ho was placed in bed once more, and then slept soundly till morning. Once more the parents of the child became alarmed. The frequency of such spells impelled them to resolve to shut him from his musical lessons entirely. On Satur day last his teacher came again os usual, everything passed off satisfactorily, but on tho Sunday following the hearts of his parents werer shrouded in grief over his mysterious ! disappearance. It seems that he was in the garden at 11 a. m. , last Sabbath, watching a bird's nest. Another lad requested him to take a walk, but he declined, saying he had to feed his rabbits. Ho did not go to Sabbath School that day, though he was a regular attendant, because of somo clothing: Shortly after 11 a. ax, his parents missed nim, and up to this time he has never been found. A Gold Springs carpenter thinly he saw him at Tarrytown one day last week, while a second person says he was at Fishkill Station on Tuesday last. Ono theory is that, while in a state of somnambulism, he 1ms wandered into the wilds of the Highlands, and lias met with fatal injuries by falling from one of tlio many precipices. It is a very strange case, and is exciting general comment. EDITORIAL AVARPAUE. The llahtcffiil-McLean Difficulty in Cin cinnati. The following article appeared editorially iu the Cincinnati Enquirer of April 28: The people of Cincinnati can attest that we haTO sought no personal controversy with Mr. Halstead, of the Commercial. We have scarce ly ever mentioned his name in the Enquirer. Indeed, we luive sought to cultivate pleasant private relations with all tho members of the press in this city. The people of Cincinnati will also bear witness that for the last eighteen months tho editor of the Commercial has spared no occasion, in or out of season, to as sail by name, and slanderously, one of the proprietors of this paper, Mr. Washington Mc Lean. But while the public is a witness to these envenomed personal attacks it is actually ignorant of tho reason of them. Let ours be tho simple task to teU the cause. We couW have secured ihe silence of Mr. Halstead, and he knows it; but toe refused to nay the price asked. Hence his malignant personal defamation.

The following, which appeared in the pa pers respectively named on the following day, (the 29th) folly explains Itself: From tho Cincinnati Enquirer, April 29.] EXCEEDINGLY PERSONAL. Mr. Washington McLean, the author of the article in yesterday’s Enquirer denouncing Mr. Halstead, understanding, at a late hour last evening from reliable* authority, that he (Mr. Halstead) intended in this morning’s issue of the Commercial to affect ignorance of tho real author of the paragraph in the Enquirer, caused to be delivered to Mr. Halstead last night tho following note which deprives him of all excuse in the premises: “ Cincinnati, April 28, 1870. “ Murut Halstead, Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial: I understand, from reliable au thority, that yon intend, in your to-morrow’s paper, giving the impression that yon are ig norant of tho name of the writer of the article in to-day's Enquirer, denouncing yon os the * low-toned, vulgar liar, blackguard and cow ard.’ 14 1 am the author, and hold myself respon sible for the same. In haste, “Washington McLean. From the Cincinnati Commercial, April 29.] PEBSONAL. Mr. Washington McLean has been at pains to inform me that he is the author of the arti cle relating to myself published in the En quirer newspaper of yesterday. He proceeds without intelligence. The anonymous “post ing” of one of whom no demand lias been made, and the private conveyance of an asser tion of personal responsibility for a proclama tion without a signature, is not according to the code of honor or of common sense. He may have imagined that he could ac- a nire reputation for chivalrous condnct irough the nse of tho language of violence, bnt he begins with a sorrowful recitation of grievances, and concludes by taking his rem edy in the employment of certain printed words; and these I disregard, for, applied un truthfully, they are without force, and evi dence only of the foolish rage in whioh they are penned. I understand Mr. Washington McLean, bf his production of printed matter under the provocation he professes lie has had, to ex press his preference for personal warfare through the press, and I do not foci that it js ray pi\rt ta divMret tha present conttuve^ from the usual channel. Therefore, I notice here the one sentence in Mr. McLean’s article in the Enquirer, that I am prepared to announce bold. It is this: “He couhl have secured the silence of Mr. Hal stead, and he knows it; hut ire refused to pay the price he asked.* 1 There is nothing withiu my kuowledgo that could have suggested this insinuation, and I challenge the production of ]*articulars. I liave never asked or received, directly or indi rectly, a price for silence or for utterance, and I never bought or sought in personal affairs, any one to speak or to be still tor my sake. I have no interest, actual or contingent, and never had any stocks or bonds, or public con tracts, or in speculative schemes of any name or nature. I cujoy the absolute independence that this disinterestedness given me in jonrnal- ism, sml I am proud of it; aud there is no in fluence that can effect my purpose to speak with freedom of those who arc plotting forever in public affairs for their private advantage. Mr. McLean is the most conspicuous of that class ia this city, and I disbelieve in his capa city to say or do anything that will give him, in his schemes that incessantly invade the in terests of the people, immunity from the criti cism that I may see proper to make in the col umns of the Commercial. M. JIalsteap. POLYGAMY. PBil.tfiopliir.il Consider tBc Mormon F The Nation, referring to a theory that the Mormons might practice horse thieving* and call it a divine institution as well as polyga my, says: “Now, this is not a parallel case, and is therefore delusive, and for this reason, among others: In polygamy all parties concerned are consenting parties. The arrangement is what the civil lawyers call consensual. In other words, there is nobody in it calling herself or himself a victim, and appealing to ns for pro tection. When horses are stolen, on the other hand, the owner is aggrieved and demands oar aid, and we are bound to give it, just as we should be bound to give it to any woman whom the Mormons sought to abduct ri et armis. If, however, a sect made its appear ance, like the Shakers, for instance, anq set tled in secluded district, and practiced a re s ligious rite, commanded by their prophet, the custom of carrying off each other’s horses in the night time, and were ready to endnro torture sooner thnu stay in their beds and let their neighbor’s horses alone, or if, when they got np in the morning and found all their horses untouched in the stable or the pasture, they looked on it as a sign of lukewarmness in the cbarch, we think it would be very doubtful indeed whether the Government ought to interfere with them. The nearest approach to a precedent for the proposed action of our Government toward the Mormons is the dealings of the English Gov ernment in India with the Thugs, who hehl it to be a religions dnty to murder and rob. Bnt then they did not practice the rite on one an other, but on Gentiles, who were utterly op, posed to participation in it, and were therefore entitled to have the Thugs exterminated. We may add, too, that on the simple ground of feasibility there is a wide difference between regulating the sexual relation and any other. Any relation of the sexes generally approved of by public opinion cannot be restrained by law. The low can only strike at it through the rules of inheritance, by declaring children illegiti mate, bnt if the jMirties are not frightened by this, it is in vain to forbid whatever does not disgrace them in the eyes of their friends and neighbors.” Number of Tonnage of United States Mer ic Bant V efi*els. The monthly report, No. 7, of the Bureau of Statistics, now in press contains, besides other valuable and interesting matter, a statement showing the number and amount of tonnage belonging to each of the several States on the 30th of June, 1869. The total nnmber of per manently enrolled and licensed vessels was 2G.393, with a tonnage of 3,744,319; of which 7,175 vessels, representing a tonnage of 1,319,- 953, belonging to New York; to Massachusetts, 2,870 vessels. 461,612 tons; to Maine, 2,944 vessels, 433,777 tons; to Pennsylvania 2,053 vessels; 265,685 tons; to Ohio, 1,138 vessels, 146,036 tons; Illinois, 827 vessels; 124,694 tons; and Michigan, 739 vessels, 108,989 tons.

Tile Rapidity and Scemy with which a Divorce May Be Put Through n Coart. From the New Albany (Ind.) Ledger.] Wo can’t say that the divorce laws of Ind. are pnre, undefiled and altogether lovely. Indeed, we fear just to the roverso of this is true; or, at any rate, the practice under these laws is gvotady dishonest, and altogether disgraceful, t«*o, in very many instances. We have a case in point, reported by tho Bloomington Pro gress,’and which occurred the present month ia Monroe county. Several weeks ago a farmer and his wife, bring a short distance from Bloomington, in dulged in a little quarrel, and tho woman went to town, where she might grow cool, and the sooner recover her good nature. Soon after the wife left home, the husband also went to town, but, as the sequel will show, upon an errand of a different nature. He called upon iui attorney, stated that his wife had left him, that their dispositions were incompatible, and that ho wished to procure a divorce upon these grounds -abandonment being the principal one. Court would convene on the following Monday, and the business was transacted at once. Notice was served for the wife, and left at the residence of the husband, and os the wife was in town getting over her “pet,” she was unaware of service. The case was called in the Common Pleas Court, and an attorney appointed to hear the cose; the husband brought in evidence to show that his wife had left him; that they did not live together har moniously, and that there was no probability of a reconciliation. The divorce was granted. Several days afterword, tho wife, having re covered her equanimity, returned to what she still believed to be her home, only to find that she was divorced and homeless. We under stand that an effort will be made to recover ali mony. If, after this,’the married women of Monroe county observe an anxiety upon the part of their husbands to have them visit their friends jast before Common Pleas convenes, there will be just grounds for suspicion.

It is, however, prudent, and in every case more sure to cure, if ita use ia continued in smaller doses for a week or two after tho disease has been checked, more especially in diffi cult and long standing cases.
