treated in new lecture of DR.. George b. Winship,

which the Doctor makes his specially, has not
abated. He advocated keeping the head up and

there is draft of air, after getting gradually ac-

HERo1NE.-A physician Of Augusta Ca, had
been absent from his residence several nights last
week, and some evil-dsposed persons ANNOYED the
ladies of his family, by making all kinds of hideous
noises about the premises. The ladies did not com
plain to the authorities, but one of them, daueh-
tel, determined that she would stop it. Accordingly
after the noises had commenced, on last Thursday
night, she went alone into the yard, and demanded
who the parties were and what they wanted No
answer being returned, and perceiving man look
ing through the pailings of the fence, she aimed
revolver at him and fred and then ran into the
house and barred the door. They have not been
troubled since.

END OF THE BURCH DIVORCE CASE. The Burct
divorce case, on trial at Napierve, ILL.,, during
the last three weeks, was brought to a conclusion
on Monday, in the denial of bill of divorce t.
Mr. Burch, and consequently in the triumph of the
woman. The grounds of Defence upon which the
verdict is based, were, that the accusation is the
result of deiberation and conspiracy; that the mo-
yves were both pecuniary and personal; that Mrs
Burch has not been guilty of any actual crime and
that the acts which she classes as criminal in her
letters to her friends, were merely improprieties
winch, under the pangs of persecution and anguish
ana In her moments OF frenzy, she conceived and
conceded to be criminal; that her written confess
sion OF specific acts was signed on compusion, and
from personal fear, and supposing it to be paper
OF dinerent character; and that the testimony of
Valentine and Miss Fanny Burch is the testimony
OF interested and perjured conspirators.
Inc jury were out an hour and half The YER
dict was received with demonstrations of enthusi-
astn' winch spread rapidly through Napiervlle.-
Inc friends of Mrs. Burch sent up one hundred
rockets from the roof of the fremont House.
DEATH OF REV. Dr.. CRoLY-Cn Saturday after
noon, Nov. oath, Rev. George Croly, the we'll.
known writer and preacher, was walking in one of
the streets of London, not far from his own resi-
dence, when he was observed to stagger for a few
moments and then fall after which be Immediate
~ expired A stroke of apopexy had thus sudden
ly caused his death.
DR.. Croly was eighty years of age, having been
born in Dublin in 1850. He was graduate of
Trinity College, in his native city, and began his
literary career in 1Sl5,with poem entitled "Paris
IN 1879, describing the art treasures of the French
capitol, which Napoleon l. had collected from the
various cities of Southern Europe. DR.. Croly
