How Florence Found . Father for
Her Baby.

kockland had sensation last week in
the trial of a case wherein Florence A
Mears, an unmarried woman sought tc
fix the paternity OF her child upon Emer-
son X. Miller. The parties belong in APP
pleton. Miss Mears was housekeeper for
the defendant, and the case in some of its
Bardell vs. Plckwick There was in it,
i.eRavar r-e.~ tho" chops and tomato
sauce, tor the complainant produced in
court boy OF four months He was a
stubborn fact that couldn't be winked out
OF sight. The question was how came he
70 be? 1t was pretty clear that evolution,
the doctrine Of the scientists couldn't
wholly account for him. He might have
come down through primeval man from
the apes-but the great question tor the
jury was, had Mr. Miller aught to do with
his immediate origin. 1t is dangerous
thing for widower with warm blood in
him to employ good looking young wo-
man as house-keeper. There is a great
deal OF human nature in mankind and
womankind, and it will ooze out on very
slight provocation. The cares of house
keeping are wearisome to the female
mind, and dollars and cents do not always
sufficiently remunerate. Most of em
want to put love and affection into the
trade. Florence says she did SO, and told
the Jury all about what happened in the
still watches of the night. 1t was very
much like the pastoral visits of Henry
Ward to Sister Tilton Then came En-
erson X. with his story He ayerred most
earnestly that it was thing impossible
that the child could be smaller edition OF
himself Whatever opportunities he might
have had. were utterly neglected He was
not a sleep-walker, and SO could not have
arisen from his couch ''unbeknowest like, .
as President Lincoln used to say Mi.
Miller thought there had been others OF
the male persuasion around the premises
He didn't quote, as he might have done,
the sflrewd saying from Shakespeare
"More water glideth by the mill
han the Miller wots Of and easy it is
OF a cut Loaf to steal slice"
But he introduced the affidavit Of one
Brett that he had heard Florence charge
another with the paternity Of her unborn
child. And there the case rested.
Hiram Bliss, Esq. tor the complainant,
made an able argument, and David n
Mortland, Esq, made strong presenta
ton OF the case for the defendant. Judge
Peters occupied forty minutes III com
menting upon the case. 1t was one ap
parently good deal mixed, so far as thu
testimony was concerned Solomon one,
had baby case to adiudicate upon, ant
got a good deal of credit for his shrewd
ness. But it was plain sailing compared
| with the like disputes that happen in mod
ern times. Still, in this particular cas-.
the jury took only ten minutes, and CAV,
a verdict for the plaintiff, leaving tn,
amount OF damages to be settled by tn,
court. And thus by the verdict of twelve
