'Remember, Louisa, that he (Freeman) will
keep writing to you, telling you how he has been
injured, and it is deep plot, &c., and other long
yarns; all will tend to work your feelings up. But
trust that you have that same strong mind and
good sense that your friends in New ork thought
you had, to resist such deceit and to say more to
resist such a snare. For, Louisa, shall always
respect you, and shall always take delight in vis-
iting you, and having you to visit me, while your
name is as il now is, any other but the heretofore
mentioned Freeman"
The evidence in this case lasted the whole of
Monday, and was curious and affecting, develop
ling as did the whole course of wooing between
Mr.. Freeman and Miss Gleason. Miss Gleason's
testimony was the most curious. She stated that
several persons, Mr.. Stratton, Mr.. Chaplin, and
Mr.. Blake, had all warned her of Mr.. Freeman,
but she had had other causes for breaking off the
match. He had written a tender acrostic in her
album, and imposed upon her credulity by saying
that the poetry all came out of his own head,
very pretty tale, but no more, for she afterwards
discovered that the lines were written by some
other man, whose name not Freeman. The
following acrostic was picked up in court. We
do not know whether it was the identical one
written in the album or not:
Louisa, Louisa study to please her.
o. my passion will be a most regular teazer
Until she will quench this my flame:
| III,
Should she my warm passion smile sweetly uponit,
And change for my own her dear name.'
Nor was this ALL Mr.. Freeman told her that
ne had received two letters from young lady in
this city, which he showed her, from which it ap-
/ pear that Mr.. Freeman in the habit Of boast
ing Of his galantres-but credat .J,sdy Miss
Gleason afterwards believed that the letters from
the gay lady were written by no other than the
identical gentleman himself This testimony,
however, did not trench upon the case, as all this
took place after the SANDER or libel In answer
to question from Freenan's counsel, whether
Miss Gleason was not so incensed against Free
man that If any aspersion upon his character
were removed, she would not now release him
she replied, she did not know; she would take
some time to think of it. From the evidence Of
Mr.. Freeman's sisters, it appeared that after be-
ing cast off by Miss Gleason he became heart
broken, and his business went to ruin
The witnesses in this case all seemed deter
mined to let as little exc out as they could One
Townsend was particularly inexplicabe. He
stated that something was said about liar and
cheat by some one; Blake called Freeman some
thing, Freeman called Blake something. II was
one of the two that called the other liar and cheat:
of that he was positively sure.
George Wilson addressed the Jury for the de-
fendant: David Graham, sen. for the plaintiff.
Judge Oakley charged them. They retired at
about two o'clock, and had not agreed upon their
verdict at the closing Of the court.

The SOUNDING MoUNTAIN.-The following is
an extract from letter from It. Welsted, dated
Mount Sinai, September 26, 1896, and published
in the Journal of the Asatic Society, Bengal
:" ou once expressed wish to know something
of the Djibbe, Narcono Sounding Mountain,
concerning which there has been SO much doubt
and discussion in Europe. l visited it on my
way here-it is situated on the seashore about
eight miles from Tor A solid slope of the finest
drift sand extends on the sea face from the base
to the summit (about six hundred feet) at an angle
OF about 40 degrees with the horizon. This is
encirced or rather semicrcled, if the term is al
lowable, by ridge Of sandstone rocks raising up
in pointed pinnacle, and presenting little surface
adapted Tor forming an echo. 1t is remarkable
that there are several other slopes similar to this,
but the sounding or rumbing as it has been called,
is confined to this alone We dismounted from
our camels, and remained at the base while a
Bedouin scrambled up. We did not hear the
sound until he had attained a considerable height.
,Ihe sound then began rolling down, and it com
menced strain like the first faint notes of an
EoIan harp, or the fingers wetted and drawn
over gass-increasing in loudness as the sand
reached the base, when it was almost equal to
thunder. IL caused the rock on which we were
seated to vbrate, and our frightened camels (ani-
mails, you know, not easily alarmed) to start off.

and the rest of the party. had visited it before
in the winter month, but the sound was then so
faint as TO be barely evident. Butnow the scorch-
ing heat of the sun had dried the sand and per
mtted it to roll down in large quantities. | can
not now form the most remote conjecture as to
the cause of it. We must not, find, now refer
it to the sand falling into hollow; that might
produce sound, but could never cause the pro-
longed vibrations, as it were, of some huge harm

LAW REPORTS.

SUPERIOR CoURT-Before Judge Oakley.
Freeman Us. Blake.-This was an action to re-
cover damages for alledged SANDER and libel. The
parties concerned are in the Tuscan Straw Manu-
factory business. Itseems that Freeman had been
paying his addresses to Miss Louisa Gleason, a
niece of Blake's, and the action was grounded up
on the said Blake's having broken off the match
by slandering Freeman, in calling him swindler,
liar, and cheat, and in libellng him by writing
letter to Miss Gleason, of which the following
is the Objectionable passage.
