County Court.
OCTOBER ADJOURNED TERM.

| ONlObEh ADJOURNED TERM.
The adjourned session of Windham
County Court, commenced on the 10th
inst, at 10 o'clock, A, NJ, Judge Ross
again appeared as presiding judge, Judge
Barrett being engaged in holding spec
ial chancery term in Windsor county.
THE HABEAs CORPUS CASE.
The first case heard was in re Sarah
Barry. The case showed that one James
w. Barry and his wife, the said Sarah,
were former residents of Rockingham,
and that for the last five years they have
lived in Virginia. On the 9Th day of
September last Barry brought his wife
to Vermont and placed her in the insane
asylum at Brattleboro. On the 18th of
same month, Mrs, Porter, the mother of
the said Sarah, accompanied by three
friends visited the asylum FOR the pur-
pose ofseeing her daughter. Her request
to have an interview with her daughter
was refused by DIR. Rockwell. Septem-
Der 18th writ of habeas corpus issued
on the application of the Rev. j. c. Nc
Colon, and Mrs. Barry was brought be-
fore the county court then in session at
Newlane, and DIR. Rockwell was sum
moned before the same court. Rockwell
filed his answer, showing that Mrs. Bar
ry was placed in his charge by her hus-
band, &c. The case was continued to
the 10th inst. and Mrs. Barry was placed
in charge of Sheriff Phelps who allowed
her to reside with her mother in Cam
bridgeport. The relator introduced a
a largenumber of witnesses, mostly neigh
bors of Mrs. Barry in CambrIdgeport
and vicinity. This evidence tended to
show that Mrs. Barry was perfectly sane
and rational, and rested their case.
The defendant produced some twenty
dispositions from Virginia of neighbors
andservants, and also introduced witness
SEES in court. Hisevidence tended to show
that since May last, up to the time of
her commitment, Mrs. Barry had been
quite insane, and that her husbands
conduct towards her had always been
kind and afiectionate. The counsel for
defendant then stated to the Court that
they had no objection to the discharge of
Mrs. Barry if her friends desired it, and
would assume the care and responsibility
of her, and she was thereupon discharg-
ed. 1t was quite evident from the COM
mencement Of the trial that Mr. Barry's
only effort would be to sustain his char
acter against the charges made against
him by the friends Of Mrs Barry. Mrs
Barry was present during the trial and
nothing in her conduct or. appearance
showed any evidence of insanity.
G. B. Eddy and Kit Haskins for re-
lator. L. S. Walker and C. n. Daven-
port for respondent.
On Wednesday morning thejury cases
were taken up.

was not missed until the train reached

OBITUARY.--In this village, Sept %. Mr. EPH-
RAIN BROWN, aged 50.
Mr.. Brown was a native of Dublin, n
H., but had been for more than fifty
years a resident of this county; first in
Dummcrston, then in Putney, and for
the last twenty years at Bellows Falls
His life was not an eventful one, in the
ordinary use of the word. yet it is always
interesting to follow in Imagination the
course of one spent among the same peo-
pie, and amid the same scenes. The
friendships formed in such period rep
resent no little wealth of feeling. How
ever unobtrusive their manifestations, the
neighborly good will, the esteem of ac-
quaintances, the respect paid by a com
munity to life OF industry and moral
worth, the flial regard of children and
grandchildren, are among the unspeaka-
BILE blessings of an honorable old age
but when these gather around life spent
mostly in the same locality, or nearly so,
they have peculiar meaning and value.
1t is greatly to be regretted that in con-
sequence of the increasing restlessness of
the times, the instances of lives thus spent,
are becoming rarer. We are thus losing
some of the most desirable rewards of a
I, 70 nd ,F, . h,
features of age. The lessons of content
and patient industry, moreover, which
they teach, are too valuable to be lost or
disregarded.
II is said that if magnet be careful
ly noticed for a long term of years, it is
found to undergo certain changes which
coincide in time with the movements of
the spots on the sun. What connection
there is between them, men of science
have yet to discover; but the fact seems
to point to some hitherto unsupported re.
ations between widely distant operations
in the universe. We may well believe
that the changes in the life of one who
trusts in God, have true connection with
more obtrusive movements that such a
life is wrought upon by the same powers
that elsewhere draw the gaze and wonder
of the world that it is linked with them
in one great plan that its own affections,
the alterations of its own experience,
perhaps UNDECIDED by others, are respons-
i've to those infinite emotions which FIJI
the being of God, the true Light of the
world. However they may escape the
eye of any but the most careful observer,
the most intimate friend, their compare
tive unimportance in the view of the
world. cannot shut them out from their
share in the great purpose of God. The
best record of any one is that his life and
feeling, whatever of iDeompleteness or
error may have characterized them, were

those who knew and respected him.
