county. a few days ago. the divorce
case of Coddington VS.. Coddington was
tried. Wednesday morning the CASE
was dismissed. In rendering his de-
cision. Judge Rising took occasion TO
remark that: "The evidence showed
some misbehavior on the part of the
wife. She wanted to go out somewhere
contrary to her husbands wishes. He
insisted upon her remaining in their
room, and she as strenuously insisted
upon leaving. A pistol was laying
upon the table, and ne took it up, say
ing that he would make her stay in
the room or he would kill her. She
stayed. The husband did not use the
pistol further. With that exception
the married lite of the pair ought TO
have been a happy one. The husband
has provided we'll for the wife, kept
her we'll dressed, and furnished her
with a servant, and | do not think this
one act, although it may be strictly
termed cruelty, can BIZ deemed q JUST
fication for divorce"
