Livingston notified Goodwillio that ho
mood not trouble himself about
it, but was astoniBhed to learn,
a few days nfter, that ho had 1Ho sold tho Hame

dtately induced tho first purchaser to ronounce
lna rights, by paying him $50, and notified Good

WHY BHE WANTS a DIVORCE.
Caroline ". Horn Aeeks to be allowed to spend
her money for herself instead Of paying tho
whisky bills Of man. She represents that about
four yeara ago sho changed her name from
kuctomeyor to tho moro onphonious and easily
articulated ono Of Horn. Tho defendant, how
deserves, often exercising tile exterior muscles
OF ILLS forearm on her faco, and taking q horn,
also, far too frequently for bis good. Ono of his
objections to her is that sho sticks moro to his
mother than to him, which lie not strange under
tho circumstances. He has repeatedly turned
her out doors, and she has finally boon o.lieod
to fo1sake him and live with her sister. Do
fendant has moreover taken aome Of her money
nF@1E EAntt AaIn
cages therefor in his name instead of hors.
Wherefore she prays that he may bo restrained
from collecting the said sums belonging to hor,
and for decree Of divorce.
