@ The court in Trumbull county
seems to be occupied mainly in divorcing
those who are Unmatched, and in punish
ing those who will not marry according to
promise. The Warren Chronicle gives n
long list of cases in which matrimonial
bonds have been severed, and also dish up
case of breach of promise between Nancy
Misner, as plaintiff, and Cornelius Jewell,
as defendant. The Chronicle saws: ~
The evidence there given was to obscene
for public print. The gaping crown stood
on tiptoe, huddled around the bar and jury,
with their heads thrust forward, with star
ing eyes, ears stuck forward, and mouth
open, grinning and delighted to swallow,
the tales of scandal and impure deeds
Then spoke the lawyers, with eloquence
fabricated with oil, and fraught with scath-
ing sarcasm, they pommeled and pounded
Nancy and battered and banged Cornelius,
and wound up by thwacking softly and
not softly the witnesses, and humping
gently each other. Retired then the jury,
with the scales of justice, Nancy with hey
child, was weighed in the balance against
Cornelius. Nancy went down, and Come
Illus, like kite went up, and was found
wanting, ten sheckles of fine brass, which
is interpreted, in our tongue, to signify fif-.
teen hundred dollars. Cornelius thought
the scales were not balanced, right, and
wanted another trial, which was refused. e

Another Horrible Suicide.
RocKLAND, March IA 1859.

John Hendrix, laborer in this town,
for several days past has been laboring un-
der the most intense excitement in conse-
queuce of an alleged, or real, intimacy be-
tween his wife and one James Evans
Hexdriz claimed to have satisfied himself
of the delinquencies of his wife about a
week ago, when he broke up housekeep-
ing, prepared himself with douhle-bar-
relied pistol, and went in pursuit of Evans,
for tie purpose of ''vindicating his wound
ed honor" according to the most approved
rules adopted by gentlemen in difficulties
of that character. t.-. s-r -......
On Sunday he Travelled the roads with
his child-a little girl about five years old,
bringing up at night at the .house of Isaac
B. Gray, in this town, where he found his
wife. He exhibited to her his pistol, and
permitted her to take charge of the deadly
weapon for the night, exacting a promise
that she would return it to him in the
morning. This morning she returned him
the pistol, when he requested her to make
his shroud of material which he had pur-
chassd for that purpose, and to see that
he was buried beside child which ne had
recently lost, in a grave near by, then kiss
ing his daughter, bidding her to be good
girl" and bidding his wife adieu, he walk
ed out a few PAGES in front of the door, and,
in the presence of his wife and child, dis
charged the contents of the pistol into his
brain, when he fell lifeless corpse.
Evens left town some days ago; where
he may have brought up is unknown. So
ends another .affair of honor" in which
the innocent and harmless infant is the
real and guiltless sufferer. f.. m .a
The Coroner, Mr.. Reynolds. held an in
quest on the body this evening, when the
jury returned a verdict that the deceased
died by violence at his own hands. Hen
dirk leaves no property, and but one child.

The Growing wheat Crop.

Our exchanges from all sections Of the
State report the growing wheat crop TO be
in most promising condition. During
many years the winter wheat never looked
so well in March, as at the present time.
1t is most likely, also, that more spring
wheat will be sowed than usual. Conyer-
sation with gentlemen who have had op-
portunities for extended observation during
the last few weeks, fully confirms the re-
ports of the newspapers. A citizen of De-
troit, who is most attentive observer, as
well as thoroughly practicable business
man, and who has just returned from tour
through Ohio, Indiana, Northern Kentucky
and the Southern counties of Michigan.
says that during his entire experience he
has never known such uniform promise
of a good crop, as exists at present. The
popularity of the season is that there ap-
pears to be scarcely any poor fields. 1t is
not merely in advantageous locations, but
throughout entire sections, that this favor
able condition of the crop prevails. OF
course 1t is far too early to predict any CAL
culation of the next yield, bat we can safe
ly say that if present appearances are not
disturbed by some untoward calamity, the
next crop of wheat will be uIequaled in
this country.-Detroit Advertiser, Thms-
dav.

Modern Warfare.

Sir Charles Shaw, in q letter to the
Times, reviews an article which recently
appeared in that Journal, to the effect that
now, from the improved farms of precis
ion," death with uufailing certainty will
reach the remotest part Of the field, and
sweep AWAY every living thing. He says
unless these improved arms are used scien-
tifically, death will not be sent with uner-
ring certainty, and in this is the great diff
tlculty. Ho proceeds to say that Arm
strongs guns, aud those constructing at
Vincennes, will revolutionize the whole sys-
tenn of siege and sea warfare, yet that it
can be shown the lighter the arms of de-
struction the more etficatious it will be. -
He contrasts his rifle battery, which con-
sists of twenty-four barrels, with the artil-
lery with which they are now practicing at
vincennss, and which can put twenty mus
ket etbals at two thousand yards into tar
get six feet square; and he says his instru-
ment has the advantage, in effect, as ten is
to one, and in saving of laborsasfour is.ao
He says the shake of a soldier in action
is the reason why "arms Of precision"are
20 inefiicacious. a5s y,f = .TaiSs / ,sidT

The WAY THEY GET GoLD AT PIKE S
PEAK.-We never had definite idea of
how the thing was done till now, but it is
nice way, indeed, rather pleasant than
otherwise, and results are highly satisfac-
tory. This sliding down hill and making
money by it, is strictly an American inven-
ton; but read what an exchange says:
"Young gentlemen afflicted with the
Pixies Peak fever will be interested in the
following statement from reliable gentle
man in the new Ell Dorado, of ths manner
of gathering gold in the diggings. A man
takes frame work of heavy timber, built
like stone boat, the bottom of which is
composed of heavy iron asps. The frame
work is hoisted on the top of the Peak,
aud a man gets on and slides down, the
resps on the bottom of the frame work
scrapes off the gold in immense stavings,
which curl up on the machine, and by the
time the man gets to the bottom, nearly
ton Of gold Is following him. asssb Asssie.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1859-04-07

G The Pixies Peak mania has receiv.
ed a serious draw back by the more recen,
news from that country. The accounts al
concur that gold is found there, but differ
as to the quantity. The latest and mosi
reliable statements, coming from persons
who have been at the diggins, are that
though gold is found there, but in such
meagre quantities that miner cannot
make above dollar and half a day
This, when you take into account the cost
ofliying there, would be about equal to
Is cts. day here. Many hundreds of
those who go there will leave their bones
to whiten the banks of the creeks and
streams whose imagined gold sands Tempt
ed them there. USE -.

BY a private letter from jefferson, Ash
tabula county, We learn that DR.. B. W
Richmond, of that place, was mobbed and
badly beaten on Thursday night of last
week. He was charged with the seduction
of Miss Jane Udel, the daughter of Mr..
Frederick Udell, the girl having for some
time lived at his house. On the evening
referred to, DR.. Richmond was decoyed
from home on supposed professional Wis
it, and when near the House of Mr.. Udell.
two and half miles north of the village,
was assaulted by four men, tarred and bad
ly beaten with clubs, after which he was
dressed in woman's clothes, placed in his
buggy, and his horse turned homewnrd.-
His wife heard his groans at the gate, and
found him in critical condition. On Sun
day he was better and considered out of
danger. Udell, his two sons, and another
man whose name we did not learn, were
arrested on the charge of committing the
assault. DR.. Richmond has hitherto stood
high in the community and is man Of
fine talents. The Udell family were also
much respected, as we learn from our cor
respondent.-National Dem.
