"The Course of True Love neper did Rim
Smo0th"-A correspondent sends us an account
Of a lot ~ at the Buck, which came near
ending In tragIa A young man iell In love
with fair one, Was accepted, the prelimlnaries
arranged, the time appointed, the ring presented;
when loI anotherlclaimant OF her hand presented
himself, and exhibited what puipoTted 10 be
marriage licenceand also contract between The
fair one and himself TO unite their fortunes 10
holy wedlock The coilntenance Of lover num-
Der one assumed all the cNlors of the rainbow,
only that blue predominated. He took to bis
he'd diseonsolat, his heart full Of sorrow. The
fair one came to offer consolation; told him she
would have none other but him; Joy returned TO
his bosom; aud meeting lover number two, In
store, challenged him to mortal combat. The
challenge was accepted, shooting irons proposed,
and tho distance measured of, but just az this
stage of proceeding, the neighbors, getting Wind
of what was going on, interposed 10 prevent fur
ther blood shed. A reconciliation was effected,
and number one is vet 10 claim the hand OF the
fair Middleton Transcript.
Notwithstanding lJuChHT WHO u III UppOs
nent of female suffrage, proposes to lecture In
our city, In q short time, on the "Proper Sphere
Of Women" She recently lectured In Middle
town, and the Transcript speaSs OF the effort In
very 1aiteing terms. Her remarks, II says;
were rsplote with deep thought and correct sem
tlments One position takenby her, was clearly
.enable aud logical, and that was, that If woman
Insisted on exercising all the privileges OF man,
she must also perform his duties and incur his
dangers and responsibilities. She must labor In
he shop and in the field, and must serve 10 tie
army and tie navy, throwing herself sin the i'm
minent deadly breach" to be stornied at by shot
aud shell, sabred and trodden under foot In the
shock Of battle. We regretted that we could
not hear her more distinctly, for her remarks
appeared to be characterized by much good sense
aud logical deduction. Aud we regretted that
some of her "Woman's Rights" sisters were not
present to hear her and feel the force OF her con-
illusions.

The Lepy CouYt.--This body met at New Gas.
To on Tuesday. All the members were present
except Nc Ingram Of Appoquinmink Hundred,
who had one ct his legs broken a few weeks ago
by fall frombls wagon. 1t was therefore propts.
I'd to adjnurnl TO Tuesday. Mr.. Hicks opposed
The adiournmfnt, stating ths. Mr. Ingram yes Is
he was net u p a holder bis nsms vas not
to DO found On the assessment list. Ingram Is
property h1lder and neglect on the part ofan
assessor to place his name on the assessment list,
cannot dlsquallfy him from sitting in the Court.
If It could any member might be elected from
his seat through the negligence or design of any
incompetent or schetning assessor. The court
finally adjourned until next Tuesday when MFR.
lD9ram will be able, it is expected, to be present.
In Luck.-The clerpymen in Newark, appear
to be in luck. Within the past few weeks, Rev.
Mr.. Hamilton and Rev. Mr.. Vallandigham, Of
The Presbyterian Church, ard Rev. j. France,
Of the M. E. Church, have each received liberal
donations Of provisions, and their purses have
also been handsomely replenished through the
of their respective congregations
The ministers may have Jared equally well In
other sections, but It really seems that Newark,
must be a real Goshen for those who labor for
the spiritual welfare of tho people.

Deserted st.--The Journal publishes q re-
port that man In this city recently married,
was given severe whipping, by his mother-in
law, few days ago, for neslecting and ill-treat-
ing bis wife. We think that he was served ex-
actly right, and we hope that be will conduct
himself more properly 10 the future, When men
make bru.es of themselves they deserve to be
whipped, and it would be well If whip could be
placed In every woman's hands to lash such ras-
Gals into rsfurnltion'

lcs.-E,J. Mcsiauus succeeded 10 Ihs early
part Of the season, to nearly half oil his fine ice
house, in Fourth street, between Yves and Wash
ington streets. Tho moat Of II was about ~
inches iu thickness and Is pretty fair article,
This shows what may be accomplished by actiy
ity and enterprise. The most If the Ice houses
in the country might have been pretty well filed
had their owners been equally as energetic as
our enterprislng and wide awake townsman.
