the indictment was not specific, and that 1t charged

Mr. Purdy on behalf OF the government, said

was examining IT in the course OF his

that they had intended to use them in London and

According TO the English law of divorce
man can obtain divorce from his wife
on the ground of her adultery, but a
woman cannot procure such relief on this
ground alone. BY proving her husbands
inlidelity she can procure what is called ga
judicial separation" but to obtain divorce
she must prove cruelty or desertiDn as well
as adultery on the husbands part. A case
curiously illustrative of these distinctions
came, not long since, before the divorce
court. In November, 1868, wife had in
stitutcd Il suit for judicial separation on the
ground of the husbands adultery, and in
that suit she obtained decree. In the
course of last year, she instituted a suit for
dissolution of her marriage on the ground
of cruelty committed by the husband pre-
vious to the institution Of the former suit,
and of his subsequent adultery. Both the
adultery and cruelty were proved, but it
was argued by the attorney general that
the wife knowing of the cruelty and hay
ing failed to incorporate it in the first suit.
it, and that she was not, in consequence,
entitled to a decree of dissolution. The
wife's statement was, that when she in
stituted the first suit she did not wish dis
solution of her marriage; that she loved
her husband, and in the hope that he would
reform and amend his ways, she was
anxious to leave the door open to
enable him to return to her. The Judge
said that he considered the conduct of the
wife of very meritorious character, and
unless there was some general principle
of the law which stood between her and
the relief she sought, he thought she was
entitled to it. He could find no such prin-
ciple in existence, and he pronounced de-
cree ntsl in favor of the wife. \ decree
niSi' means a decree of divorce, unless some
very sufficient cause to the contrary be
shown within six months, in default of
which the decree ni@" becomes decree

The Ellsworth monument association was
organized August "a, 1872, with the fol-
lowing officers, viz: Abram Fellows. presi-
dent; Prof. Bernice ID. Ames, secretary :;
Henry X. Cornell treasurer. On the 18th
of November following an agreement was
entered into with George f. White, of Rut-
land, Vt, to erect the monument. During
the last session of the legislature of this
state an appropriation of $4,000 was made
to assist in erecting the monument. A con-
tract was subsequently made with Mr.
Powers, of New York, for bronze me-
dalton of Colonel Ellsworth, and bronze
eagle, as additions to the monument The
monument was erected and accepted by
the committee November 9TH, 1873. 1t is
located on the brow Of the hill in the Gem
etery, southwest of tie village it by far
the most conspicuous object in the cemete-
ry, and can be seen for great distance TO
the south, east and north
The material of which it is constructed
is the best Quincy granite. 1t is finely cut
with what is called Il tcn-cut finish II is
about twenty-four feet high and is five feet
square at the base. The parts of which it
is composed are the bottom base, the sub
base, the base, the die, the die-plinth. the
shaft, the shaft-plinth and the capstone.
The shaft is finished in an octagonal form
On the east side of the base is the simple
word Ellsworth" in five inch letters in
bias relief and CLOSED Set into the west
face of the bic is bronze medallion of
Colonel Ellsworth of life size; on the
north front Of the die is the following in
scription, viz:
Col. Elmer e. Ellsworth, commander of
the first regiment of the New York fire
zouaves born at Malta, Saratoga county.
N. y, April 18th, 1873 killed at Alex
andria, Va, May oath, 1861, in taking the
first rebel flag. The volunteer fire depart
ment of the city I New York co-operated
in erecting this monument
Set into the east side of the die is n slab
of white marble, on which is carved n
beautiful coat of arms, copied from draw
ing made by Col. Ellsworth, and still re-
tanned by his father. Directly underneath
this is the following extract from Col. ELS
worth's last letter to his parents:
am content, = confident that
He who noteth the fall of sparrow, will
have some purpose even in the fate Of one

A beautiful shield is carved upon the
front side of the shaft, and surmolnting all
is majestic eagle in bronze, with out
spread wings. The taste and workmanship
displayed in the fabrication of the monu-
mcnt are of high order. 1t is by far the
finest work of art of which the village can
boast, and is fitting memorial for the
brave soldier whose grave was left quite
too long neglected and unhonored, The
ceremonies of inaugurating the monument
are postponed till next May, on or near the
anniversary of Ellsworths fall. B.D.A
