Result of an II-AssOrted Marriage
sil-The Parties in COurt-IHOw a
Sfep-Mothery was Treated by Six
Daughters Older than Herself

81 from the New York Sun. May 30l jN
Mrs. E. Bogart makes application for
divorce from her husband, James Bogart,
on the ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment on the part of her husband and his
family. The case was partially tried dur
ing the February term, before Judge
Brady, without jury, but the issues then
raised were of such nature that the
Court decided that the case must go to a
jury. ia ts.-.e,.,. .2.T.4a -
Mrs. Bogart being called to the witness
stand, testified that she married the de-
fendant 10 October, 1864, after courtship
of eighteen months that before consenting
to become his wife, she had long CONVEX
sation with him respecting his family, she
Obiecting to marry a man with six grown
up daughters; that defendant then said
that his oldest daughter was about to get
married, and that the rest had been brought
up to habits of industry, and would assist
her in the housekeeping;A ! that upon these
representations she married him; that
shortly after the marriage, e the de-
fendant's daughters commenced q sys-
tenn of petty persecution, which has
finally induced her to take the only means
in her power to relieve herself of them.-
Mrs. Bogart, among other things, testified
that the oldest daughter, Catharine, ousted
her from her proper place at the table; all
the daughters made faces at her and in
suited her in the presence of their father ;
that TODD rejected by The daughters was
placed upon her plate; that upon one occa-
sion, the said daughter Catharine had gone
so far as to scratch her head over plain
tiff's plate; that upon another occasion
when she was sick, she wished for chair
to rest her feet upon while lying on the
lounge, and sent up stairs for one; that
said daughter Catharine took it away from
her, and refused to allow her to have it
Mrs. sBogart also testified to numerous
other acts of petty spite, which, although
too trivial to mention, go to make up the
sum ofhuman misery. Mrs. Bogart having
been on the stand over two hours, and be-
coming faint and nervous, the Court took a
recess to allow her time to recover. After
recess, Mrs. Bogart detailed threats made
by Mr.. Bogart against her whenever she
ventured to complain of the treatment she
received from his daughter; he having al
one time, while they were in bed together
raised his fist and threatened to give her
marks which she should carry to her grave
that upon subsequent occasion he seizet
her by the arm and wrenched it, and tha
upon all occasions he upheld his daughters
in their behavior toward her.

A New Way of Trapping" Rats.
The May number of the american Aqri-

cation from L. i. Langstroth, of Oxford,
Ohio. $50 sstRfilosp0o dol,i,y ,yei a,ir Yah
Get common round wire trap. Bait it
with the most. inviting food, and wait pa
tientlyl until a rat is caught. Instead of
killing this rat, and waiting perhaps for
weeks before you are fortunate enough to
trap another, keep him alive and feed him
as mitch as yon would a pet squirrel. In
few days he will become quite reconciled to
his cage, aud you are einow, ready for busi-
ness.-At night, bait the trap well and set
1t where the rats resort most, Some one
or more of them. seeing rat quite at home
in the midst OF plenty, will enter the trap
without any suspicion iof harm. 4 Next
morning, pump or pour water thoroughly
over the trap, to clean 1t, and to make the
Killing of your prey more easy. Have an
empty barrel, into which drop the contents
of your cage; the prisoners, being we'll
soaked, will be so heavy and slew that you
can easily knock them on the head.
Treat your partially tanned rat, however,
!" as If YOU loved him." and return him to
hts cage; this is easily done by lowering
the cage into the barrel. Repeat the opera
tion from night to night, and you will be
surprised to see how easy matter it is to
outwit so cunning an animal as an - old

younger fry, as none of them will dare to
enter. The only difficult thing in the mat
ter is to get your, first rat. have had a

could enticeO one TO enter it. To get the
first, is something like Astor's receipt for

II caught my first rat, / have failed but once
for many nights in getting from one to

ers will try my plan, think that some
thing may be done to abate one of the most
intolerable nuisances of this country. To
say that millions of dollars worth of our
property is annually destroyed by rats,
would not be an extravaganza assertion. .
