A CURIOUS DIVORCE SUIT.-According
to tine English law a man eau obtain a
divorce from his wife ON the ground of
her adultery, but woman cannot pro-
cure such relief on this ground alone.
By proving her husbands intdelity she
can procure what is called judicial
separation, but to obtain divorce she
must prove cruelty or desertion, as well
as adultery, on the husbands part. A
case curiously illustrative of these dis
tinctions came. not long since, before the
Divorce Court. III November, 1868, a
wife had instituted q Suit for judicial
separation, on the ground OF the hus-
bands adultery, and in that suit she OBJ
tanned a decree. In the course Of last
year she instituted suit for the dissolu-
ton of her marriage, on the ground of
cruelty committed by the husband previ-
GUS 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 Attor.
ney General, that the wife, know.
ing OF the cruelty and having failed
to incorporate ii in the first suit she was
not now entitled to fall back upon it, and
she was not, IN consequence, entitled TO
decree of dissolution. The wife's state
ment was, that when she instituted the
first suit she did not wish dissolution
of her marriage; that she loved her hus-
band, and in the hope that he would
mend 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 merito-
rious character, and unless there was
some general principal of law which
stood between her and the relief she
sought, he thought she was entitled to it.
He could find no such principle in exis,
tence, and he pronounced decree nisi,
in favor of the wife. decree nisi u
means decree of divorce, unless some
very sufficient cause to the contrary c
shown within six months, in default Of
which the decree nisi becomes de-
cree absolute.

NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

The Eureka Sentinel gives the details
of horrible murder recently committed
in Nye county, which occurred at Duck
water on Christmas Day. H. G. Black
we'll, man we'll know among the miners
of Ruby Hill, was the victim, and Alex
ander McKeever was the murderer. Both
parties were ranchmen. McKeever went
to Blackwell's house and became very
abusive, and after being demonstrated
with in vain he was elected from the
house. McKeever then procured an ax,
broke down the door and murdered
Blackwell. After the murder, McKeevsr
visited some OF the nsighboring ranches
and told OF what he had done. Among
others, he went to the house of Mr..
North. Mrs. North is a sister Of the
murdered man. Mr.. North was absent
at Austin as witness in the Sampson
case. On hearing what had Defsllen her
brother, Mrs. North ordered the MUIR
derer to forthwith quit her presence; but
he refused to 60. He happened to be
standing near the door and she gave him
a violent push and closed him out, lock-
ing and boiling the door to prevent him
from entering again. This door was also
broken down and Selling a shotgun kept
in the house, he chased Mrs. North and
her children out and compelled them to
fly for their lives. Fortunately the
demon did not shoot. This ended his
days work He would probably have
left the country, but for little strategy
practicsd by couple Of gentlemen in the
valley to whom he related the events Of
the day. They told him that the law was
on his side and that he was in no danger
OF being molested, but while thus giving
him confidence to remain they quietly
summoned deputy sheriff from Belmont
to take charge Of him. McKeeveris now
in Jail, where it is to be hoped, he will
remain until the majesty OF the violated
law shall have been indicated. Black
we'll was q very quiet, inoffsnsive man.
He leaves wife and seven children.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

On Monday morning Judge Fuller de-
livered an important decision concerning
attachments. The history OF the case is
that certain creditors in San Francisco of
II. Myers and II. II. Lichtenstein, mer-
chants in Phoebe, assigned their claims
to II. Lewis, and Lewis, one day last
week put an attachment upon the prop
erty of the defendants. Myers, one Of
the defendants, resides in San Francisco,
the other defendant residing here. The
point relied upon by the plaintiff in issu-
ing the attachment, was that one of the
Court held that the non-residence OF one
member of firm did not authorizs the
issuance of an attachment against the
property of the firm, and the debts hav-
ing been contracted outside this State,
and not payable in this State, it was
held that the writ of attachment Was in.
sufficient to hold the property. and on
motion of defendants counsel the attach
ment was vacated and the defendants
Immediately resumed business. The re.
suit of Judge Fuller's ruling in this case
was looked for with deep interest by tbs
entire mercantile community, and his
order TO vacate the attachment was re-
ceived with great satisfaction. Suit fol
damages has been instituted by Myers
and Lichtenstein against Lewis and
bondsmen for injury to their business
and credit by the levy OF the attachment
