GeoIorK Of Ohi6.

The first official report Of the progress
Of the last geological survey Of Ohio has
just made its appearance. 1t is a docu-
ment OF great importance 10 the people
OF this State. and will attract general at
tentiOn throughout the country. Under
this survey the mineral and agricultural
resources OF Ohio have been more care
fully elaborated than during all the prev
iOus years Of our history. The extent
and value Of our different mineral belts
exceed the most sanguine expectations
OF biologists. Not only has economic
geology been enriched by the labors Of
the survey, but a series OF valuable facts
have accumulated in the department OF
theoretical geology. and for the first time
in the history Of this science OhiO's
place is definitely known. The stratified
rocks have for the first time been
brought into relation and harmony with
those Of the surrounding States.-COr.

Queer State Of Affairs.

There is a singular state Of affairs at
Rutland, Vermont. All the hotels have
been closed in consequence Of strin-
gent liquor law passed at the last session
Of the legislature. The law compels
each town to support n hotel at least,
fOr the accommodation Of the public,
and IL no hotel facilities are furnished,
any party aggrieved may sue for and
recover damages against the tOTn for
neglect to comply with the law. The
authorities, therefore, in order TO avoid
this liability to actions for damages, have
hired and are running n One-hOrse hash
mill on this side Of the mountain, in the
suburbs OF the village.

The Supreme Court OF Iowa has
made a decision, recently, to the effect
that the drinking Of intoxicating
liquors by one or more Jurors during
constituted sufficient ground for set
ting aside a verdict and ordering a
new trial. The principle upon which
the ruling is based, is that a man with
his brain muddled with whisky is in
capable OF forming a correct opinion
upon law and evidence, aud that If he
drinks at al, it is difficult, OF, in fact,
impossible, to tell at what point the
incapacity begins, and therefore the
safe rule IL that laid down by the
court.

Diyorces and yyeddlngs.

1t is wonderful to find how often a
husband discovers his wife to be incom-
patible, offensive and good-for-nothing,
when some younger Or more attractive
woman has taken his fancy! 1t is no
less surprising to observe how often a
wife discovers for the first time, sudden
", that her husband is .'drunken, bru-
tish or fiendish," when another more
rich or prosperous man stands ready to
marry her if her husband were but out
of the way! If the law should offer to
grant divorces freely, tenfold more free
ly than now, and at the same time
should forbid persons from marrying
again, does any one believe that there
s would be one divorce asked where there
are hundred?
Years ago legal gentleman, who had
procured large number of divorces in
his earlier practice, and had afterward
renounced the business absolutely, in
speaking to us on the subject, said: "In
all my experience ! never found di-
vorce asked for the sake of being un-
married divorce was always the pre-
liminary to wedding, and with women
J quite as much as with men. THE
