n Singular. Case.

A case, deriving interest from its connexiou with
Jewish customs, is now in course Of trial in the
Philadelphia court OF common pleas Nomnally,
the case is to determine question OF Indebtedness
as between former husband Of Mrs. Coleman,
the present defendant, and p. s. Rowland, her
former husbands brother. IL appears from state
ment in the Ledger that, after the accounts of the
deceased brother had been settled by the plaintiff
the widow refused TO allow him to appropriate the
balance to the payment OF his claim for advances
and several lawsuits were the consequence. But
she, some time afterwards, became desirous Of
changing her widows weeds for bridal garland
and the consent of her deceased husbands brother
the plaintiff, became necessary to the consumma
ton of her wishes. Under the old Jewish dispen-
sation, widow, who had no children by her first
husband, waB bound and had right to demand
the hand of her late husbands brothers in mar
riage commencing with the oldest, and going
through the whole collateral line not previously
engaged or disposed Of II the brothers refuse the
widow in marriage, che has the privilege OF taking
off a shoe from the refusing gentlemans foot, and
of splitting in his face, and declaring, in the Ian
guage Of the law, 'here is a man who refuses
to build up his brothers house" A diff
Guilty presented itself The brother would
neither marry the widow himself, consent
70 marriage with any one else, unless she would
admit his claim to the balance in question.
The widow was anxious to bestow her hand
upon Mr.. Coleman, and, after several disputes
and interviews, admitted the plaintiffs claim
to obtain his assent thereto. After her mar
riage, however, che took legal advice on the sub
iect, and the present suit was the consequence
She denies the validity of release, extorted from
her under the circumstances above narrated and
with her husband, claims the balance remaining
in the hands Of the plaintiff executor of the viii
of her late husband. One of the singularities in
ths case is, that nearly every male witness exam
ined has changed his name since he came to this
country For instance, Pelter S. Rowland wac
known in Europe as solomon Peinai, John Row
father of Isabella's present husband, as Solomon
klatfitski.

INTERESTING ExPERImENT.-In the Roscrean
workhouse, Ireland, the learned doctor in charge
has appropriated one of the wards 70 the exclusive
use OF a deaf and dumb nurse, who has charge of
four infant children. They to be isolated from
companonship with all who have the gift ofspeech,
until they have attained the age when children
usually acquire knowledge and use of language.
The object is to acquire the natural language Of
,nan This experiment, If thoroughly tried, will
probably show that man has no natural language.
II will be remembered that the Phenicaps once
made a somewhat similar experiment with an in
FAINT which was placed in the desert IN the charge
of persons sworn not TO permit the utterance Of a
word in its presence and to afford il sustenance by
allowing IL TO suckle goat. In that instance the
frat attempt of the child at vocalizaton resulted
in the imitation ofhc bleatng of its foster mother
