OtheiIs In Court.

Court or quarter 1SeSSIofS-JudGe PGrSOn.
This morning good-looking young man. occupy
little piece of violence upon his wife, who appeared
in a spring dress ami black eye. She said she had
been married about three years, during which time
her husband had frequently given his high temper
forcble demonstration upon her person. In Febru-
ary last for mysterious cause he deserted her,
and ceased to provide anything for her except an
occasional beating.
One afternoon about two weeks ago he called ~
the room in which she lived, broke open the door
and finding her all alone, and without protection he
at proceeded to batter her, closing her right
eye at the first blow. Having said this much she
closed her case.
The husband, being called upon for an explana-
ton, consented very readily to give one, and said
that on this afternoon he found man locked up in
the room with his wife, and felt almost irresistible
desire TO Kill them both, but being, like young
IochnVar, ''al unarmed," he merely dealt her
blow in the eye which he repeated and then effected
the arrest OF the man.
The wife said this third party was neighbor who
had been attracted by her cries of Distress and had
come in TO her assistance.
PrisOner-"That man had no pantaloons on. Do
you suppose neighbor would have come in to your
assistance without his pantaloOns at that hour :?
Not much. Judge, snatched that mans breeches
from the bed and left him there In that fix until
brought an oficer for him"
The policeman who made the arrest said that
when he went to the room with the husband he
found the third party sitting the bed without his
pantaOOns, and the woman tearing the room with
scarce allowance Of garments TO protect her from
the cold.
The Judge said the case needed no comment and
only imposed a ue Of one cent and the costs upon
the much injured husband who retired TO his seat
in the dock, and had interesting search through
all his pockets for that one cent.

and State is frequently called upon TO advise
in relation to this matter, and his opinion
(as it should) generally determines the selec-
tion.
The time consumed and the fatigue of
travel in reaching the seaside have long
operated in preventing very many from graft
flying their wishes in this direction To
those whose time and means are ample, the
place, SO as it possesses the necessary ar
raDgements for comfort, is not very impor-
tant, vet with the greatest number the accessi-
bility of locality will exercise no small
determining influence. The construction of
q railroad from Philadelphia TO Atlantic CITY
has brought the ocean within a ride of two
hours, with five communications daily.
This place possesses everything to attract
visitors, either in search of pleasure or health;
such as the most ample accommodations in
the way of public houses under well-directed
management, cottages for those desiring more
complete privacy, churches of different de-
nominations, safe and excellent shore for
bathing, an air remarkable for its dryness,
pleasure yachts for sailing, and to such as
regard the manly sports of fishing and hunt
ing, the waters and the meadows are alive
with fish, snipe, and great variety of game.

matte tendencies, or the shaking aguist, with

OBITUARY.
David Octavius Hill, X. Sia.

David Octavtus Hill, x. = "A.
This distinguished Scottish artist died yes-
terday in London. He was born in 1902, at
Perth, Scotland, and had reached the good
old age of sixty-nine. He displayed at an
early age taste for art, which was judieously
fostered by his father, who sent him to Edin-
burgh to complete his studies. In 1928. when
aged but twenty-one, he first exhibited at
Edinburgh three pictures which gave un-
mistakable proofs of the artistic skill he was
to display in the future Mr. Hills works
consist of series of sixty paintings, illustra-
tive of the scenery of his native country. He
also painted many English and Irish pictures.
which have received high praise. The
greatest of his works was large painting
commemorative of the disruption of the
Scottish Church in the year 1S43. This
remarkable composition, which represents
the signing of the deed of demission and act
of separation, contains over four hundred
portraits. In 1880 Mr.. Hill was appointed
Secretary of the Royal Scottish Academy of
Painting He was also the first to suggest
the formation of the Royal Scottish Associa-
ton for the promotion of Fine Arts. He also
contributed much to the success of photo
graphy, and under his artistic directions it
was greatly benefited. In 1850 he was ap-
pointed one of the Commissioners of the
Board of Manufactures in Scotland, body
which has under its direction the Government
School of Art and the National Gallery of
Scotland. Up to within q few years ago he
has diligently worked at his easel, and did not
quit it until compelled by old age.

The convention reassemblea yesterday
afternoon at o'clock.
Messrs. Isaac Hazlshurst and George Whit
ney were elected Trustees of the Episcopal
Fund, to fill vacancies
Mr.. Robert A. Lamberton, of Harrisburg,
offered resolution to the effect that all that
part of the Diocese of Pennsylvania which
lies outside of the counties of Philadelphia,
Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks,
be a new diocese.
Mr.. Bohlen moved as an amendment that
there be added to the aboye-named counties
those of Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, and
Lancaster
An additional amendment was offered re-
quiring that majority of the clergy and YES
tries within the bounds of the proposed
diocese consent thereto.
The last amendment was adopted, and
thereupon discussion arose upon the second
amendment.
Judge Parry, of Schuylkill, opposed di-
vision of the diocese, for the reason that he
thought it would be impolitic at the present
time.
Mr.. Lamberton, in advocating a division
upon the five county line, said that beyond
the counties named 80 parishes out of 75 had,
through the clergy and vestries, expressed
themselves favorable to the division proposed.
The Rev. DIR. Paret read paper, by which
il appeared that out of "a clergymen sta
toned within the counties proposed to be
sci off, "a had approved the measure.
