Harris is an exceedingly handsome girl,
bearing very striking resemblance to her
mother. She was dressed fashionably and
with great taste. When taking her
place on the stand, Mrs. Harris, for
the first time during the trial,
became visibly affected. She placed her
handkerchief to her face and tears flowed
for some time. The evidence Of Miss
Harris was given with great distinctness
and apparent ease. When particularizing
the troubles between her father and mo-

On the succeeding day the counsel for
Mr.. Harris read two letters found in, the
trunk of Mrs. Harris at Newport. They
filed several pages, closely written. They
were In one envelope. These letters con-
tain the most extravagant protestations of
love for Major Williams, allude to many
happy meetings which they had, how they
wandered alone, pressed and kissed one
another. Mrs. Harris calls upon the gall

his heart, &c. The following are extracts
from one, which give good specimen Of
the whole:

In the trial of the Harris divorce case,
at New L 'ndon, Conn.,, Mis- Jennie Har-
ris, the daughter, twenty-two years Of age,
appeared on the stand and was examined
during the two days of Wednesday and
Thursday. She testified to a great many
acts of improperly by her mother, and to
upbraiding her for them-one of these acts
being SO gross in its character, during q
visit to Newport, that it led to ending with
unpleasant abruptness an engagement of
marriage between herself and Mr.. s. C.
Thompson, President of the First Ma
tiOnal Bank OF New York, who was OF
the party, and who publicly rebuked Mrs.
Harris for her unchaste behavior. Miss
Jennie testified to the surruptitious visits
of half dozen different men, married or
single-Major Williams, Mr.. Ricketson,
Mr.. Miner, Mr.. Chappell, and others-to
her mother, at home. and to her mothers
being absent with them under circum-
stances of sus ,icion. She was familiar
with the "propitiOus window" from
whence her mother signslled lovers. The
lovers had familiar names, as Gids,
"Snags, Soft Eyes," Punch, etc (;

which she was sometimes required to cor

1t appears that RUSSELL, the Abolition
postmaster at Davenport, Iowa, and au-
thor of the negro suffrage resolution in
the Abolition platform, was taken entirely
unawares by President JoHNsoN's summa-
rily ejecting him from the Office. The
first he heard of it was from the Demo-

he copies and proceeds to comment on as
follows:
The above refreshing exhibition of copper

that of too fearless and earnest q warfare on

surprise no one had the information 1t imparts

heads, there were not thirty persons In Daven.
port who supposed such an event, as that as
serted by the Rock Island rebel organ, to have
actually taken place, could be at all possible.
That AN officer, honestly performed his duties,
and at the same time laboring with pen and
voice to sustain those who elected and now
earnestly support the administration In power,
should be removed without the slightest notice
that such change was even contemplated, is
indeed a marvel That the removal should he

German thrift is proverbial. The
Germans In Pennsylvania general
ly manage to lay by far more than
their American neighbors, and the
following paragraph from a Euro
pean letter will show that they in-
herit these frugal traits:
Each German has his house, his
orchard, his roadside trees so laden
with fruit that did he not carefully
prop them up, tie them together,
and in many places hold the boughs
together by wooden clamps, they
would be torn assunder by their
own weight. He has his own corn
plot, his plot for mangle wurzel or
hay, for hemp, etc. He is his own
master, and therefore he and his fam
lily have the strongest motives for
exertion. In Germany nothing is
lost. The produce of the trees
and the cows is carried to market.
Much fruit is dried for winter use.
You see wooden trays of plums,
cherries and sliced apples lying i'll
the sun to dry. You see strings Of
them hanging from the windows
in the sun. The COWS are kept up
the greater part of the year, and
every green thing is collected for
them. Every little nook where
the grass grows by the roadside,
river and brook, is carefully cut by
the sickle, and carried home on the
heads of the women and children
in baskets, or tied up in big cloths.
Nothing of the kind is lost that can
be made OF any use. Weeds, net
ties; nay, the very goose grass thai
covers the waste places, are cut up
and taken for the COWS. You see
little children standing in the streets
of the village, and in the streams
which generally run down them,
busy washing these weeds before
they are given to the cattle. They
carefully collect the leaves OF the
grass, carefully cut their potato tops
for themrand even if other things
fail, gather green leaves from the
woodlands.
