A curious suit, known as the Slade ba-
ronetcy case, is to be tried in England.
Lady Slade, at the time of her marriage
with the late Sir Frederick Slade, q. c.,
supposed herself to he a widow, her for
mer husband having deserted her, and a
report was circulated that he was dead.
After the birth Of Sir Frederick's first son
the first husband was heard Of, but there
was no absolute certainty whether he Ves
alive or dead. Accordingly, before the
second child was born, in order that there
might be no doubt about his Legitimacy,
the parents were married again. The
same ceremony was repeated before the
birth of each child in succession, and as
there are seven Of them, each claims the
title and estates. Witnesses are summoned
from various parts Of the world.

The PRICE OF HoGs.-The provision
merchants and farmers are beginning to
discuss the question of the price of pork
the coming season, but we have not as yet
heard of any contracts made, as it is too
early to make anything like accurate esti-
mates. There appears to be, however, in
dications that the price will open pretty
high at the outset of the season; but pro-
ducers should not beguile themselves with
the expectations Of a continuance OF the
higher rate. There are too many causes
to produce decline. The immense yield
of corn, and the large production of beef,
will inevitably tend to keep prices down.
We learn that in Cincinnati this week
$500 head were offered, TO be delivered
November 90 to December Is, at Sll for
the first 500 head; 5000 for the second
800 head $40 for the third 500 head, and
$3.50 for the remainder. The hogs were
to average 225 pounds net. But the offer
was not taken.-EransrlUe (Lad.) Journal,

NEVER TRAvELLED.-A story is told OF
an old lady who lived near Rochester who
had never seen or travelled on a railroad.
Wanting to 60 on visit to small town
short distance from the city, she thought
she would try one Of the pesky things. SO
she went to the tickct-oiiice, carrying her
reticulc on one arm and an fashioned
rocking chair on the other. She bought
her ticket, walked out on the platform,
put down her rocking chair, sat down in
it, took out her knitting, and went to
work diligently. Steadily she rocked and
worked, trains coming in and leaving as
the car-time came round. The old lady
made no attemptto get on the cars, but
kept knitting.
The day drew to close, and night came
on, The last train was about starting
when the dep0t-master went up and asked
her if she was going out.

THE JrJUBE THEY'VE saw the other
day the fruit of the juiubc tree (rhamnus
zizyphus). 1t is chestnut brown and about
the size of small plum, and has dry,
pleasant, agreeable taste. The pit is hard
like the date seed, of similar size, but
pointed at each end.
This is the fruit used in pcctoral decoc-
tons, and to make the true jujube paste
of commerce.
The jujube tree stands the climate of
North Carolina very well. The two
shrubs or small trees Of our neighbours
are about ten feet in height, and are grow
ing out in the open garden, and are filled
with jjuiube plums just ripcning. 1t re-
scmbles a young honey-pod locust in TO-
liage, but more glossy in the leaf. Tho
tree blooms late, and is not injured by the
cold nights of spring, when the peach,
pear, apple, and plum that bud sooner are
killed in the bloom, or shortly thereafter
by the April frosts. The fruit ripcns in
September and was curiosity to us, for
We were not aware there were any trees
of the juiube growing in the country

MARRYING A TwIN.-A correspondent
writing from Arkansas Springs describes
a wedding which took place between two
persons who had never seen each other
until the day before. The next morning
two or three waggish fellows informed him
that his wife had twin sister; that they
were so much alike it was difficult to tell
them apart, and that he had married the
wrong one. The poor fellow, without say
ing anything to his wife, went directly to
the magistrate, and wished him to" undo
what he had done, and marry him to the
right gall" The worthy squire told him
that il he had known this the evening be-
fore, he would have fixed it right, but too
much time had elapsed, and it was too
latet

A Bull AT SEA.-The Portland Tran
script has notice of two-year old bull
picked up at sea. The animal was found
swimming in the water, in nearly ex-
hauSted state, about three miles off Che
beague island, from which he had probably
set out on his aquatic excursion. Whether
he was bound on visit to his cousin John
Bull, over sea, our informant did not stop
TO inquire; but taking the truant in tow,
and occasionally assisting him in holding
up his head, brought him safe to little
Chebeague, where he is now, quite re-
covered from his natatory exercise.

A Dastardly Murder.


Joseph Stafford and Thomas kupp both
rented ground Of John Herr, about five
miles from the city, on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, and consequently lived
very close ncighbors. Stafford gave Kupp
permission to pass through his ground
ON the condition that he would close
the gate after him, so as TO exclude
the cattle from his corn-fclds. knpp
got careless, and a day or two ago lett
a gate open, through which his hogs g0t
into Statford's corn, doing cons,aera"ie
damage. About 8 O'Clock on ihursaa!
afternoon the two men met nj one OF the
gates, when Stafford told kupp that nc
must put up his hogs, keep them our
of his field, and pay him for the damage
thew had already committed. kupp de-
mprrcd and high words ensucd between
tho nart;cs. Stafford at length turned his
back upon Kupp, and started TO hang ms
gate on the gate-post, when the ia''er
stopped down, picked up a piece OF inch
plank three or four feet long and about
six inches wide, with which he dealt his
unfortunate ncighbor blow upon the
head, knocking him to the ground. He
struck him several other blows after he
was down. The stroke upon the SIDE OF
the head was delivered with sufficient
force TO fracture his skull, produce con-
cussion of the brain, and result in Stat
ford's death at about o'clock in the
morning. The murderer came into the
city this morning, and up to the moment
Of writing had not been arrested. Coro-
ner Dick Moore was summoned, and on
investigating the case, the facts above
narrated were disclosed. The following
is the result of the inquest:

An Irishman and Dutchman had a
quarrel about eating krout. The Irish
man refused to eat, and the Dutchman in
sisted, until a challenge was given and
accepted, and the time and place Of meet
ing was appointed. The Irishman arriving
first, hid himself by getting on the crane
in the chimney. When the Dutchman
came, he said to himself "he had no right
to make his friend eat krout." So to avoid
bloodshed he would fire off his gun before
the Irishman arrived. Walking to the
chimney, he fired up it, and down fell the
Irishman.
