the publication of book rejecting on Mrs
Mem ahon and her family, has been gong on for
some DAYS before Judge Pratt, OF the circuit

event, hut finally turned up destitute, and Mrs
Mcmahon befriended him, with the consent as
she saws, of her husband. For time lie boarded
with Rev. Mr.. Holden, and Mrs. Holden testifies
that Mrs. Mcmahon mad frequent calls at the
house and evinced the utmost affection for Mr.
Eldrldge. On one side it is alleged that the
rupture between them came from Eliridge' 5
threats TO publish his book, and on the other
that 1t was all due to Mrs. McNahon having
discovered that Eldridge was paying his atten-
hons to two ladies with a view to marrying one
Of them. Either way, the case is not particu
