tion for alimony on the part Of the plaintiff
upon the ground Of habltual drunkenness
The defendant denied the allegations, by q
cross petition, asking 10 be divorced from
plaintiff upon the ground Of gross neglect
Of duty.
Z The Court, in a lengthy opinion upon the
merits of this case, dismissed the cross pc
titlon, before proceeding 10 examine the
grounds Of the plaintiffs petition, remark
Ing that II was one of the unpleasant duties
which a court was at times called upon TO
perform, when required TO determine the
legal consequences Of family chickering's,
especially when the parties had spent tho
best part Of their lives In cohabitlng with
each other. and In raising a numerous fam
lily. However, the testimony in this case
evinced the fact TO the entire satisfaction of
the Court, that for several years past the
defendant has been guilty of habitual
drunkenness, which at times seems 10 have
been condoncd By the plaintiff; but what
ever condonatlon had been made was of u
conditional character, both by express act
OF the parties, aud by Implication of law.
and these conditions had been violated to
such an extent, by the subsequent acts of
the defendent rs 10 render the forebearance
OF the plalntiff no longer a virtue.
IL was the nuisance 10 the wife, arising
from continued drunkenness for three
years, which the legislature had In view in
authorizing Courts to decree allmony 10 the
wife when such fact was made 10 appear M
In tie case before the Court. The evidence
was, that defendant had disposed of his
lands and personal property, aud had real
lied near $4,000, In the sale the same, and
since his separation from plaintiff had
wholly neglected and refused TO provide for
her which would constitute gross neglect
Of duty In this particular. Alinony would
therefore be decreed 20 the plaintiff; and as
no such allowance had been gaanted pen
deHte iHe, the Court would order that $500
be paid within sixty days, that an annuity
OF $40 be decreed In favor OF the plaintiff,
aud that the same be made charge on the
defendants real estate. Conover Il Craig

may, however, be overcome by extending
the work already begun, of opening mad

measures should also be adopted for the
drainage OF the basin-like portion included

IL may be argued that the substratum

quired as Accommodations Of water soon dis

point ofview, this only adds 10 the neees-
sity for having the water carried of rs rap
