sarily dry summary can give no notion of the
torrent of inyective which DR.. kcneay poured
forth Utterly regardless Of the presence of
the Bench he addressed himself to the jury,
and at Mr.. Bowker, who sat unmoved below
him. He made no attempt to conceal his mean
ing. He openly admitted that conspiracy and
perjury were 'the logical effect Of his charges;
and once again referring to Lord Below pri
vate life, he begged the jury to declare that
the man who had basely seduced his friends
wife was unworthy to be believed upon bis
oath. A storm was evidently impending.
In few minutes it burst. A reference to
Chatillon-who seems to have been Sir Roger
Tichborne's paidagogoS rather than strictly his
tutor-as "a valet, drew from the Lord Chief
Justice the indignant remonstrance, THAT is

Chief Justice" to address o member of the
Bench in that tone" IF member of the
Bench, cried DR.. Kenealy, ''forgets his duty,
he must be openly rebuked."
To the surprise OF all the court the Lord
Chief Justice, instead of ordering DR.. kenealy's
committal, repeated, You shall not speak to
the Bench, in that way, sir; and, as if trying
to drive his Lordship to commit him, Dr.

DR. CADMUs's WINE CELLAR TO show
how some, or at least one, of our entcrprising
citizens are interested in the grape facilities of
this section, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the immense wine cellar which DR.. Cad
mus has constructed near his vineyards just out
of towr. 1t is located under the hill about mid
way between the two turupikes, is about fifteen
feet deep, built substantially of brick, and has
a capacity for -, We are afraid to say how

DR.. Cadmus purchased the King farm about
four years ago. and has improved it more in
that length Of time than niue-tenths of man
kind would have done in ten times as long.
BY his enterprise and liberality he has made
as many friends as if he were native here, and
to the manor born" and when tho mellow
