Olu COUrU IItllcS.
In 1920, at the commence .
ment of the Spring session OF
Common Pleas, held at Bur
lingtou, a series of rules were
promulgated by the Court
Judges Ezra Osborne, John Da-
wilson, William Miller and Ga
briel Kerr, on the bench
which shows a high degree of
ritualism to have existed in
those days. Here are three of
the rules, for the government
of the Bar, which, 1T is needless
to say, are not now in force:
LIST. The Attorneys and
Co~unsellors shall never make
a motion, unless they ask the
Court if they will hear such;
and shall always stand In the
place appointed Them
I'd. They shall be orderly
and treat each other with re-
spect at the Bar; shall make
no noise nor contradict no gen
tleman addressing the Court
or Jury, unless first moving the
Court TO interfere, and if the
gentleman thus contradicted,
talk back, he shall suffer sus.
pension at the hands of the
Court.
No gentleman shall interfere
with the papers of the Court or.
Clerk.
But the m9st curious rules
are those depicting the duties
of the Sheriff. On this officer,
the Court leaned with much
JUNCTION. Fancy the Sheriff
nowadays majestically pre-
ceding' the Judge to bis lodg.
ings. But read the rules for
yourselves:
Rule 1st. The Sheriff shall
always sit in the bar and hand
all papers to the Court from
the Clerk; he shall keep order
if any person makes a noise in
the Court House or elsewhere,
so as to disturb the Court, to
command silence, and if not
Immediately obeyed, to turn
the person out Of Court, to sup
press the noise, otherwise bring
The person or persons before
the Court, neither shall he suf-
fer any person to smoke with
in the bar.
Rule I'd. To attend the Court
at their lodgings the first day
of the term without solicita-
ton, and walk before them,
and also every morning if re.
CURED.
Rule 3d. That they open
Court thus: 80, yes! o, yes
The Judges of the Court Of
Common Pleas for Lawrence
county are now sitting; all per-
sons having business to trans
sact will give their attendance
and they shall be heard; God
save the State of Ohio and the
Honorable Court" These last
words 10 be used only at the
first opening of each term and
the adjournment.

Court, has been transferred to
the United States Court, where
the petition was filed yester

previous thereto, she was "a

The plaintiff further alleges
that by reason of being held

been deprived of her time and
the value of her labor, worth
at least $500 per year, and al
so that during that period she
was subject to great h~ardships,
abuse, and oppression, and was

a SINGULAR instance of the
attachment of the brute crea-
ton to the human has been
brought to our notice BY Caps
tain John Wood. The other
day while a party of boys were
skating on the river above
Bonneville, a bird flew from
the forest and settled upon the
hand OF one Of their number,
a lad named Charles McCord,
and nestled closely to him,
flying about his head, alighting
upon his shoulders, and other.
wise evincing the greatest at
tachment for him. When the
boys left the creek to attend
the afternoon session OF their
school, the bird followed Char.
lie into the room, futtering
over his desk and staying close
by him,and when school was out
accompanied him home. This
occurred some days ago, but
the bird still remains, accom-
panying the boy wherever he
goes, and is apparently devot.
ed to him. Such instances are
rare, and this is the most sing.
ular that has ever been brought
to our knowledge. The Cap.
tain informs US that the bird is
of a species unknown to him,
and he thinks to this section
of the country.-Scioto Ga,
