canon near its mouth-leayipg so feet of fail

tunnel will be started. To reach the mines

the surveys for this new enterprise propose
to sink four shafts on the line uf the tunnel.

Strange wiIfulness of III arried Woman II

.
E Platonic love, says the philadelpLia Sun
dav Herald, is very well in a novel bnt it is
not encountered in This matter of fact world
of ours, and men and women generniiy act
like sensible human beings when they come
to love each other sufficiently to induce mar
rage "Love in a cottage is no longer to
be thought Of and people now look forward
and count the costs before the bans are pub
lished. Bouse-rent and the cost of a grad
naliv Increasing family must be provided for
by the prudent. and in these matters most
people are decidedly prudent But in spite
of this general rn'e, applicable to the married
state, we have Just heard of case which
proves that if wives could be permitted to
pursue the course adopted by the lady in
question, there would be no necessity for
care and anxiety in regard to the price of
fannels, small clothes. cradles and toys The
case to which we refer came before our Court
of.Colnmon Pleas, in the shape of a bill for
divorce fled by Sir. E, in which he pray
ed to be relieved from the bonds which bound
him to his wife Dorothea, His petition and
the testimony taken before an Examiner, de-
veloped most curiouS state of affairs. Mr..
f., alleged that meyer since the day Of his
marriage. twelve years before the day of the
petition, had his wife allowed him the rights
and most carefully kept 1inat arms length.
This he bore calmly and meekly for twelve
long years. until forbenrance ceased to be a
virtue. and hence the srit for 6ivorca. No
doubt he was in,pele,l to this proceeding by
= the fact that his wife nor enly denied him his
marital privileges, bat she went further, and
boasted Of the circumstances to her female
friends, and jjeered at them fer their folly in
assisting to popnlate the world She detail
ed to these friends the success of her own
plan, and gloated er Inc Immunity she had
gained thereby. According tothe testimony
the curious fact in the married life Of Mr..
and Mrs. E.. was well known in the family,
and formed the suhjecs Of frequent conversa
ton. Mr. Z. was approached by his relatives
and friends with remenstranees and aentrea-
ties, and was urged time and again to put
an end to this awkward condition of affairs.
To all he Invariably answered that he loved
his wife and was desirous Of doing nothing
that would cause her pain and uneasiness
and for that reason he wouid not apply for a
divorce. Twelve years Of this kind of life at
last broke his resolution, and into court he
went where the whole case was laid before
an Examiner, and upon his report the Court
granted a divorce to the miserable man.
