{" Couldn't See the Need"

THE worthy gentleman who rules the
rising generation of boys in q certain
town in. Tennessee had occasion, recently,
to correct . little boy named Johnny:
Now, Johnny had what is called sulks,
because he was whipped, and in order to
convince him that he was justly and neces-
sarily punished, his teacher had recourse
to the following argument:
: swell, Johnny, suppose you were nd
ing big horse to water, and had keen
switch in your hand, and all at once the
horse were to stop and refuse to go fur
ther, what would you do!"

SETTLEMENT OF AN ENoCH ARDEN
CAsE,-The Superior Court at New
Haven, Conn.,, on Thursday last, granted
a divorce to Mary L. Wilcox, Of that
city, from John II. Wilcox. This is the
finale of case the substantial facts of
which we gave some weeks ago. Mrs.
Wilcox, believing her husband had been
killed in the war-which she had good
reason for doing, he having held no COM
munication with her for two years after
national peace was concluded, married
another man, and afterwards her first hus-
band turned up. In this case, however,
the first husband did not appear, and be-
holding the felicity of his wife, turn him
about and die, nor had he previously
been cast away on a lonely, uninhabited
waste. Instead, when he did return, he
brought suit against his wife for big,
amy, and another against her second hus
band, Benjamin Hotchkiss, for adultery
Neither charge was sustained, the court
on the first instance of trial, acquittins
both honorably, finding that the woman
had been credibly informed by severa
witnesses that her husband WAS dead
and having in vain sought to learn tina
he existed, while afterward she hac
mourned for him in widows apparel TIVE
years. The Superior Court gave the Gus
tody of the child, by the first husband, t,
the mother, and it is to be presumed tina
she will be Mrs. Benjamin Hotchkis
about this time.

Agencies FOR PROCURING PATENTS.

Agencies FOR PROCURING PATESIs'
Among the multiplicity OF agencies
we take great pleasure in referring 10 one
which has gained deservedly high rank
from test of more than twenty years
successful practice,-that of II. H. Ed
dy, Esq, of Boston. Highly honorable
prompt, devoted to the interests of his
clients, and possessing a thorough knowl-
edge of the intricacies which necessarily
involve the granting of patents, and
their reissue, in a country where meehan-
ical and scientific ingenuity have SO broad
q field, Mr.. Eddy is known as one who
often succeeds in obtaining patents where
othere have failed. All documents nee
essary to secure the rights of inventors
are executed in careful manner and
especial attention is paid to procuring
patents in foreign countries. We refer
all interested in any way in patents and
inventions to his advertisement in anoth-
err column, which gives fuller details.
