FOUR DAYS DELIBERATION..

FOUR DAYS DELIBERATIoN.-
In one of the old Dutch settlements
OF Mohawk Valley, a very honest old
farmer was elected Justice of the
Peace. 1t was not supposed that
Squire Y. had amassed much legal
learning, but he was quite noted for
his unsophisticated honesty and
frankness-indeed a blunt Dutch
man, whose heart never erred, but
whose head had very little connec-
ton with it in the administration of
his official functions. 1t happened
that his first case was quite hotly
contested by lawyers on both sides.
They summed it up elaborately, and
after they got through quoting from
Cowen's Treatise the bar room OF
the hotel (his office) being crowded
with eager spectators, to hear the
first decision ofthe new Justice, the
CID man deliberately folded up his
docket, put it under his arm, lit his
pipe, and said:
We'll, shen:lemen, I shall take
four days to decide, but shall even

ROAD LAW AND MANNERs.-Jt is
commonly said that every one has a
right to half of the road. This is
practically true, and comes about
IN this wise. You and | meet upon
the road-Our legal rights are exact
ly equal, and both have a right to
go our several ways without oh.
struction, so, popularly, we say /
own half and you half. The law
steps in to facilitate matters, and di-
rects each to turn to wards his right
hand. This is true whatever the
load or team; for if one can drive
such a team that another can pass
him bnt with difficuiry or at all, then
/ their rights are no longer equal
This point becomes very important
in winter, for it is no joke to turn
your horse and all into the deer
snow while your neighbor goes
smoothly along in the beaten path.
No one has right to load his team
so as not to jeablc to give up half
the track to whoever demands it.
a foOtman may choose the part
which pleases him or any portion of
his right hand half of the way, and
the team must yield it to him. This
is already so in winter, and no man
is obliged to step into the snow for
one or two horses. This is the law
and the courts award it. t
Now for the manners of the road
which in some instances, vary from
the law thereof. The first require
ment of road manners is good ma
ture aud accommodating spirit. DO
to others as you would have them
do to you. Always be willing to
yield more than half the space, then
you will be pretty sure to be equal.
ly well treated. They who exact
inches will have inches exacted OF
them. If your neighbor has a
heavy load, consult his convenience
as far as possible; you may some
times be loaded. 1t has become a
practical rule of courtesy to turn
for heavy teams, especially in win
ter, when the roads are heavy. But
remember it was q favor, not your
right. and you have q reciprocal du.
ty to perform, and one which, | am
sorry to observe, is not always borne
in mind.
One word in relation to teams
gong the same way, i'll which case
many seem to think there is neither
law nor manners. When teams
come up behind you that team has
II right to ~ reasonable space and
opportunity to pass on--in fact hal
the road for that purpose-and YOU
obstructing him in his lawful desire
is both bad manners and bad law
If your load is heavy, do the best
you can. In most eases the very
least that can be asked is that YOU
should stop. This is particularly
SO in winter, when it is a heavy tax
on team to force it into trOt in
deep snow, OF deep mud, or frozen
or deep ruts--made necessary by
your continuing to move on. Re

SOUND DOCTRINE on THE SUB
JECT OF DIvORCE.-Ana application
was recently made before Judge G.
G.. Brainard for a limited divorce
from the bonds of matrimony. At
ter hearing the evidence in the case.
of the little bickerings-foolish
enoungh in themselves-which had
taken place between the husband
and wife, Judge Brainard delivered
the following judicious opinion:
Looking as 1 ought, and as
think every magistrate ought to
look at the union formed by mar
riage, and consider how sacred
and solemn that !. non should be
held, am exceedingly unwilling at
any time to grant a divorce or a sep
aratiOn unless the evidence will fully
warrant and sustain me in so doing.
The temporary difficulties and spats
arising between man and wife in The
course of q lifetime should be forgot
ten. instead of being widened, and
should be healed instead of being
strengthened by outside influences.
I'm this, do not find sufficient testi-
mony to justify me in granting a
separation. The letters of the wife
show that she is an affectionatc,
good-natured lady, and l don't see
that the defendant, except being
guilty Of two or three Out-bursts of
temper and probably indiscretions
which, on reflection, will be forgot
ten, has done anything to prevent
the parties from coming together as
God intended they should do. This
complaint is therefore dismissed

The Cincinnati papers are fall of

The Cincinnati papers are full of
particulars of the recent destruction
OF gasomctcr in that city. 1t was
swung upon iron columns forty feet
high and it was composed of sheet
iron, and was seventy-ive feet in
diameter. Nothing now remains of
it save the mass of iron of which il
was composed, lying shattered in
the immense basin of water over
which it hung, and the iron columns
to which it was suspended. 1t held
at the time of the accident $4,000
cubic feet of gas, which had all in
ne seconds time vanished like u
flash of powder So sudden was
1t s consumption and dissipation
into the atmosphere that no fire was
communicated to anything, and,
strange to say, little or no damage
was done to the snrroundin. build
ings, save the larring of walls and
the cracking OF a few panes OF fglass.
1t was fortunate that but ono man
met his death by the explosion. le
was discovered far up on tho iron
framework which supported the
immense Reservoir; perfectly naked,
with the exception Of one boot; his
face was blackeucd, his hair burned
from his head, his flesh crisped and
scorchcd by the terrific heat. With
great difficulty he was removed to
his home, where he lived bat six
hours. The lungsOfth unfortunate y
man were literally baked by the ex-
plosion. Shortly after the accident
n panic arose in the vast crowd of
spectators. The people feared an
other explosion, and turned and fled,
screaming, in every direction. They
climbed upon each other in their
efforts TO escape, and numbers were
thrown to the ground and trampled
upon. Hats were lost and in some
instances clothing was torn from tho
backs of those who were striving to
quit the frightinl scene. On Front
street, where the panic was the
worst, several persons were knocked
down and rendered insensiblc.
Wild beasts never behaved with
such lcrocity as did this surging,
bowling, alirightcd crowd. The
loss will reach $4,000.
