One-HalT Guilty.

A fellow named Donks was lately trio |
At Yuba, Cal, for entering q miner 8
trunk and stealing bag Of gold dust
valued az four dollars. The testimony
showed thai he had once been employed
there, and knew exactly whore the owner
kept the dust, that on the night specified
he cut a slit in the tent, reached IN, took
the bag, and ran OF. The principal wit
ness testified that he saw the hole cut,
saw the man reach iu, and heard him run
away.
II rushed after him at once" contin-
ued the witness, "but when l catched
him didn't find Bills bag. but found II
afterwards where he had thrown it.
How far did he get in when he took
the dust p inquired the counsel.
well, he was stoopin' over half way
in, should say, - replied the witness.
May il please your Homer, inter
posed the counsel, 1.-THE indictment isn't
sustained aud l shall demand an acquit-
tai on direction of the court. The pris-
oner is on trial for entering q dwelling in
the night time, with intent 10 steal The
testimony is clear that he made an open
ing through which he protruded him
self about half way. and stretched out
his arms aud committed the theft But
the indictment charges that he actually
entered the tent or dwelling. Now, your
Honor. can n man enter house when
only one half Of his body is in and the
other half out p
II shall leave the whole matter 10 the
jury. They must judge Of the law, and
the fact is proved, replied the judge.
The jury brought in a verdict Of
Guilty as 10 one-half Of his body, and
not guilty as to the other half.
The Judge sentepced the guilty part TO
two years imprisonment leaving 1t 10
the prisoners option to have the inno-
cent part cut of, or take il along with

Temperatnre Of the Earth.

A commission OF the British Associn-
alton has been for some years engaged
in collecting evidence in regard 20 the
temperature OF the earth at different
depths and in different regions BY some
of the observations, the rule heretofore
announced in regard to increase of tenn
perature was corrobontcd-that which
fixes il about one degree 10 fifty feet, in
some instances varying q little in excess
or diminution. Attention was called 90
the interest which would attach to care
fully prepared observations made in the
great artesian well near So Louis, which,
as is known, reached the depth Of 3,Si3
feet. greatly exceeding that Of any other
well OF the kind in the world. Unfortu-
nately this well is blocked up at point
comparatively near to the surface and
il would involve great expense TO open
it out again for the purpose Of prosecut-
ing special experiments. Mr.. Glashier,
on the same occasion, presented some re-
marks in regard To the temperature of
the air at different attitudes, and ex-
planned that although in general the
cold increases the higher we ascend in
the atmosphere, yet at some seasons at n
certain distance from the earth, the tenn
perature Is higher instead of lower than
at the surface furthermore. II was as
certained that at given elevations the
thermometer indicated a higher point ut
night than by day and they therefore
consider that up TO 1000 feet, the tenn
perature may be occasionally higher in
stead Of lower than at the ground.

A POeticnl Divorce.

The Memphis Ardidncle says the fol
lowing is an exact copy of petition for
divorce recently filed in that city. IL is
decidedly case of romantic misery:
Sarah W VS.. Randall W, alias
Randall H:
Your petitioner, who has been for two
years, and is now, q resident of Mem
phis, represents to your honor that on or
about October %, 1869, she was lawfully
married with the defendant, randall,
who sometimes calls himself Randall
-, also n resident of Memphis, and
has made him q dutiful and obedient
wife. They lived together about two
weeks they were united as two clouds
that meet at evening. They were "two
souls with but single thought, two
hearts that beat as one" For the first
week he was kind, and their lives as har-
monious as music. During the second
week he was harsh, cruel, and in
human in his conduct, and made IL un-
safe for her TO live with him aud be un-
der his dominion and control. He was
the worst kind of Othello; threatened
TO drive her out of the house, and tried
10 force her TO leave him. He then de-
serted her on the classic Hntchie,
I" like Anaden weeping by the waters, "
or like Dido with a willow in her hand.
He has never returned to charm her Ion
illness. Promises considered, &C., prays
for such relief as your honor may grant
and the complexion of the case may de-
mnnd.
