hackmen or others; neither shall engage in

protection of the law, or the intervention of
the police neither seek, nor have sought
any difficulty with Mr. Montgomery-I shall
avoid none.
When met him on Saturday 1 was not
aware, (nor am yet,) that had by word or
decd given him any cause for offence; and when
in friendly recognition extended him my hand,
addressed him in terms courteous, polite and
gentlemanly. This friendly salutation was met
IN rude and insulting manner, which resent
ed, on the Instant, in the most effective way
then in my power. The blow fell as quick as It
could reach the object after the insult was given
For this was recognized to court, at the in
stance and upon the affidavit of Mr.. Montgome-
~, and thisis the whole transaction in a nut
shell. The details Of the rencontre, or which
got the best of it, or whether the blame rests
upon one, both, or neither, are matters about
which shall not handy words. On my part
the collision was wholly unprecedented and
without malice-an impulse based upon an I'M

Mrs. BENNETT was not content with calling
her husband an 'old DEVIL . as it has been our
melancholy duty to state in previous notices of
the New Haven divorce case, but she wantonly
touched upon an infrmity of which psycholo-
gist had vainly attempted to cure him, by calling
the doctor "deqT old DEVIL Her husband did
not regard the rapid Horace Smith with favor,
but Mrs. Benefits feelings towards that young
man were of an ardent nature, and she longed to
be q widow that she might appear in society as
Mrs: Smith. Indeed, her desire was so strong
in this respect that upon several occasions she
wished the doctor dead, and was heard to say
sit would be the happiest moment finer life to
follow him to the graveyard; that she would
come back rejoicing" AS the case goes on
and It'll pretty well along, having reached its
sixteenth day-some shocking developments are
made by the witnesses. The alleged conspira.
cy against the doctors purity, which Mrs. Ben
nett contrived, calling in the aid of a young
woman, Sarah Newman by name, and anything
but honest by station, who arrived from New
York in silken attire, and armed with smiles in
Vulnerable, can hardly be mentioned with pro.
priety. Suffice it to state that the doctors inno-
cencc remained unsullied, much to Sarah NOR.
LITIGATION, who subsequently said in describing
an interVtew-"the laundering old fool, he got
up and went to the window and whistled." Mrs.
Bennett was fond of the society of students, but
the doctor appears to have had an admirationfor
his wife us constant as it was unrequited. The
testimony in the behalf of the husband closed
on the 10th day. The Court room was crowded
with spectators, of whom 40 inconsideraJle por-
ton '-ere ladies of the highest respectabtlity.

will be about feet. The field is enclosed with

house has been constructed adjacent to the field,
containing dressing-rooms for ladies' and also for
gentlemen. A Skating Club is to be organized
for the general management of the concern
Tickets are to be issued to gentlemen at Eve
