The Rockford Qll.) Register of De-
tober 22 saws:
dropping into the court room the
other day., we were struck with the
unusual decorum prevailing within the
hallowed precincts wherein his honor,
Judge Brown, presides and sdspenses
impartial justice to all applicants. We
observed fewer boot-soles resting upon
tables and ratings, and less lounging
in uncouth attitudes than usual, while
we remarked an unwonted spruceness
Of attire and evidence of more than
ordinary attention to their back hair
on the part of sundry of the younger
members of the bar, like our friends
Cross and Warner. Looking around
for the cause of this altered aspect Of
affairs, we soon discovered it in the
person of charming young lady, who
occupied chair within. the bar, and
was watching the progress Of case
with rs much interest as any of the
legal gentlemen present; indeed, it is
our opinion that she gave it closer at
tention tnan did some of the younger
attorneys already alluded to, whose
eyes would occasionally go astray.
Upon inquiry, we learned that the
Young lady, whose name is Miss Alta
Nj. llulctt, is pursuing regular course
Of legal study with Messrs. Lathrop
Il Bailey, with view to fit herself for
the practice Of the law. She is young
lady of more than ordinary personal
attractions, bright and prepossessing
in appearance, and evidently in earnest
IN her purpose to acquire profession"

Forty cotton SPECTATORS, more

even, bought yesterday more than

His estimated losses are 100000.
But he is quick, shrewd, bold,

Its flame-hght, bright ard bold, -
And tints her hair who stands at the pane,
With its touch Of warmer gold.
About her the window drapery falls
Like sea-foam woven to lace;
The wedding ring is bright as a star
On her hands uplifted grace.

The twilight brings him, you know
Softly the words from her happy lips

Housekeepers, it appears to us,
would do well and wisely if they
were to put lock between tht ir
kerosene oil and their stupid ser
wants. At Milwaukee, Wis, on
the 9th ult., a servant-girl named
Monagan was burnt to death,
the result of an attempt to light a
fire by pouring coal oil on the fuel.
In the same city and at the same
time, two cooks at the National
Hotel were fatally burned through
an indulgence in the same crazy
folly. These poor creatures would
have used gunpowder for the same

him into a woods some distance
