which commenced its sitting in this city
| four weeks ago, adjourned Oh last Saiur-
/ day. \ large amount Of business has been
disposed Of during the teru, and large
amount IS continued until next term.
| The law suit Of the term was the famous
divorce suit Of Tucker vs.. Tucker. On this
case was arraycd all the heavy divorce
ability Of Manitowoc county, assisted by
Judge Taylor Of Sheboygan. on the side Of
the plaintiff (lIrs. Tucker, and j. A.
Bentley on the defense. After protracted
and well fought battle on both sides, the
jury gave a verdict in favor of the defend
ant; thereby deciding that the silken knot
should not he united, and that the youths
ful pair the Dr.. is 10 and Mrs T. is 60
years old should, whether they would or
not, live together in bli.sful wedlock joys.
But those twelve sagacious jurymen bad
counted without their Host, for after the
trial had concluded and the fierce pas
sions" Of the parties li;igant had cooled
off, they mutually agreed that divorce

commenced and the knot united, and all
done inside Of thirty minutes from the time
Of the commencement Of proceedings. We
shall hereafter insist that Manitowoc is the
banner city for divorces. Chicago has
heretofore claimed to beat the world, but it
takes Hirty-fr minutes in that locality to
finish the job.
After the adjournment Of court on Sat
urday, the Judge was entced into the par
lors Of mime host" Fred. Becker's, and
presented with beautiful meerschaum
pipe BY some Of the jurymcn and others,
as a token Of respect and appreciation Of
his course as Judge, during the long term
Of court. y beautiful and appropriate
speech was made by Adolph Whitman,
Ed, as be presented the meerschauu, to
which the Judge responded briefly and
with embarrassment. On the whole, it
was a nice little affair, and well enjoyed by
all the participants.
Judge Mclean left here last Monday for
KcTaunee, where be holds term of court.
The DAILY WAR News. The mon
otony Of this quiet and easy. going commu-
nifty was startled last Monday evening by
the cry Of Daily War News - Daily
Var News" from several urchins about
town, but greater was the surprise Of orr
people when they discovered the daily ~
was issued from an Office heretofore noted
for Its s!owness rather than for its enter
prise Nevertheless the little thing vas
born in the Tribune Office and from which
place it will go forth every evening about
sunset until it shall die for want of patron
age from an unappreciating public. It is
small, very small, GXS inches, and reminds
one more Of patent medicine circular than
Il daily. Sill the expense attending It's
publication is large, for special dispatches
are received daily from such individuals as
Napoleon, King William and Count Y on
Bismarck. Tie competition alone fer enc
issue OF this apology for daily amounts to
many thousand dollars, and it may, before
It's cpitaph IS written, ruin several Of our
wealthy men, This is our inscription for
it, though Hide premature:
