cackling. Things remained in statu quo
until one bright and beautiful afternoon,
Mrs. Chamberlain had gone to the black
berry lot to pick berries, and there met
Mrs. Rix and her three bouncing daugh-
tiers. After the usual flourish of trump

Rix women advanced in good order,

with force and violence, wrenched the
ring from her finger, and left her bruised,
bleeding and fainting on the field of bat.

this suit is brought. The trial occupied

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.-A very pleas
ant affair and surprise recently occurred
in Buffalo, TO Mr.. w. G. BANCROFT, a
gentleman well and favorably known in
this section, and we copy an account of
| it entire from the Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser, as follows:
"The employees of the dry-goods estab-
lishment of Messrs. j. G. Barnes & Co.,
to the number of forty, gave Mr.. w. G.
Bancroft, the gentlemanly and accommo-
dating manager of the concern, very
pleasant, and we may say, substantial
surprise, yesterday morning. On enter
ing his office he discovered very hand
some and elegantly finished easy-chair,
in the place where his old one had been,
with note lying on the cushion, which
bore the signatures of the employees, and
stated, in effect, that the gift was token
of their high appreciation of and regard
for their kind manager. The chair is
from the mandatory of l. ID. White,
and is of beautifully finished oak, up
holstered with green plush. Such pleas
ant surprises we are glad to note, as
showing the good feeling existing be-
tween the employer and the employed"

WOMEN IN BATTLE.-At the recent
term of the Windsor County Court a
case involving the details ola well fought
battle in Sharon, was tried, the parties
being, Orlin and Abby B. Chamberlain
V. Marshall and Adeline Rix and three
daughters. The case is thus reported in
the Windsor Journal:
Mrs. Chamberlain and Miss Rix, now
Mrs. Richardson, one of the defendants,
while social game of cards was in pro-
gress, at the house of Mr.. Rix, exchang-
cd rings, as Mrs. Chamberlain insisted
afterwards in earnest and for good, but
as Miss Rix afterward insisted only in
fun, or for two weeks. The two weeks
having expired and Mrs. c., after law
full demand of the ring in her possession
and tender of the ring in Miss Rs pc.
session, refused to give up the ring
claiming she had traded in good faith
ETC., and very naturally this gave rise to
vigorous family, neighborhood, and
even town warfare, the good citizens o.
Sharon having arraigned themselves OF
eithersides. The usual quantity of back
biting, slandering and insulting, tool
place between the contending factions
but still Mrs. Chamberlain kept posses

A CLERICAL ASEcDoTE-The follow
ing anecdote we believe first appeared in
the Springfield Republican, the first part
Of which will be recognized as having oe
cured some time since in this village:
" A clergyman of the upper Connecti-
cut valley, who is shaped after no dimin-
utive model, and whose pulpit is provided
with an extensive sofa, lately made an
exchange with brother, whose pulpit is
furnished with chairs. Not making the
necessary reconnaissance in the rear, on
sitting down at the conclusion of one
part of the service, he missed the chair,
and came with his formidable proper
tons upon the floor. For this mishap he
coolly excused himself by remarking
that she had got to the bottom of his
subject for once at least" The same
