Some time since, Mr. John NJ. Roberts of
Pittsburg, brought suit in the District Court
of that city against Jane Swisshelm for a gold
watch, seal and key, valued at $l3O, furnished
by Mr.. Roberts to Mrs. Swisshelm. The verdict
was in favor of the defendent and went to show
that "ifa woman voluntarily separates from her
husband, and leaves his house, he is not respon-
sible for her debts even though they may be in
Cured for the common necessities of life"
Mrs. Swsshelm closes long letter to the N,
Y. Tribune in relation to this decision thus
ut establishes beyond question, so far as that
Courts concerned, that while a woman, by mar.
rage, resigns all claim to the proceeds of her
own industry, and the custody of the children
she may bear, she acquires no valid claim on her
husband for even the common necessaries of life
She becomes servant for life without the power
to collect wages, while her husband acquires that
rightin her stead. and when collected, may
make such use of them as he sees proper may
provide for her or may not, just as he pleases,

after twenty years OF work without wages, the
law would have allowed me some clothes, and
that by voluntarily resigning the claim which /

myself legally in the wrong by leaving without
explanation, might avoid publicity, and win
tranquility for the evening of life but was

my reputation as a woman and the knowledge
OF my poverty and dependence caused the at

convert me into tool of oppression. The pride
born OF poverty lent that bitterness to my resent

quarrel, and led to the destruction of my Office.

HypnROtiSRR.

The French scientific journals are full of ac-
counts of the application of the new discovery
Hypnotism. In Cosmos we find a detailed ac-
count OF an amputaton performed while the pa>
tient was under its influence in the Hotel Dieu,
of Poitiers, on man aged 81, whose left knee
was increased by white swelling to nearly double
the size of the right knee, and was so painful
that the least movement produced the most in
tense suffering. The hypnotism was produced
by placing spatula about eighteen inches in
front of the root Of the nose. Looking at this, he
soon became insensbe, in spite of the severe
pain which he was in from being taken to the
operating room. Insensibility was produced in
ten minutes, and the amputstion occupied a
minute and a half. The patient made no sign of
pain, and when questioned blythe doctor said he
thought he was in paradise. His features were
perfectly tranquil; his eyes only seemed to be
wandering in search of the brilliant object which
had been before them.
A very singular experiment in hypnotism has
been many times repeated in France. 1t con-

M Giraud- Tenlon says that lady whom he
hypnotized made SO free with her confidence
that he, for fear of grave results to her. was OBJ
llged to awaken her. He thinks that the loss of
free VIII and conscience, with the preservation
OF memory, the passions and the power of speech
does not make up desirable state

! During tue latter part of Friday last, April "a
rumblings of distant thunder were heard, giving
warning that a storm was approaching this place
lie Roy) and about o'clock dark clouds begaI
to gather in the west. Soon the heavens seemed
to be nveloped in mantle of com plete dark
ness, with the exception of a small space in the
vicinity of the sun, and though the sun was in
full view, yet If afforded NO light, and it was as
dark IN town as a moonless midnight. We hard
ly know how to describe the appearance of
the sun at that time, unless it might be said to
resemble one OF its rays when peering through
the knot-ho OF dark closet
Following c"se upon the sprinkling came
heavy splashes of rain, terrific thunder caps,
heavy gusts Of wind. common hail. and then the
halls Of ace. As night be expected, window panes
M sashes were smashed as quickly as if attack
edlby shower of stones, Several persons who
were out doors when the ice commenced descen-
ding were severely injured, and all beat hasty
retreat to protected quarters
The ice storm lasted about fifteen minutes. du
ring which time the ground was covered with
ice balls from the size of hens egg to common
sized table bowls. While the storm was raging
some balls were picked up near the doors of
some houses in town, and we learned that one
weighed ten ounces, another one pound and
half. At the Metropolitan Hotel every pane of
glass on the west side of the building was bro
ken, and OH the south side one ball passed thro'
the clap-boafds. There was scarcely whole
pane of glass left IN the windows OH the east and
west sides of the houses in Leroy. and in some
instances window sashes were smashed At Mr.
Dickinson's house, the balls effectedn passage
directly through the roof. But it is useless to
attempt TO enumerate the various accidents and
incidents which resulted from this storm We
hear of horses, cattle. and pigs being killed, men
severely pommelled, but, we are pleased TO say,
no loss of human life was occasioned at least
we have heard of none. We are confident how
ever, that had person been so exposed during
the prevalence eff the storm so as to have receiv-
ed some of those ice balls upon his head, his life
would have been eminen:ly perilled.
