Expensive Litigation.

About the year 1862 girl named Mar
garet Shiel, employed in the dining-room
of the Palmer House, accidentally let
fall butter dish-One of set of six
so as to break the strainer. The gentle
man who was keeping the hotel at the
time charged her with the cost of the
entire set, and took the amount out of
her wages. In leaving the house, Mar
garet passed through the dining-room,
and told the other girls that she had paid
for those dishes and was going to have
them. She accordingly took them home
with her. This coming to the ears of
the landlord, he consulted the Prosecut-
ing Attorney, Mr.. James Sweetzer, and
caused him to institute suit against the
girl for larceny. The case was tried be-
fore Esquire Fisher, and the facts being
detailed it was universally agreed by all
that there was no case, and the girl was
discharged. In leaving the Court the
landlord called angrily to the girl, and
told her to bring back the dishes she
had stolen from him. Margaret then
brought suit against the landlord on two
counts for malicious prosecution and
for SANDER on trial was awarded q
verdict for 800. The case was taken to
the Supreme Court, and the decision re-
versed. On the new trial a verdict of
ST. 900 was awar led for Miss Shiel.
The Court directed that she remit $500
OF the verdict, or he would grant new
trial. She declined to remit, and a new
trial was ordered. The landlord took a
change of venue to Hendricks County,
and, Diminishing his former attorneys,
employed Major Gordon. The case
came on for trial-Porter, Harrison and
Fishback for plaintiff, who had in the
meantime married and changed her
name-a and verdict of 800 Was awarded
on the malicious prosecution count An
appeal was again taken to the Supreme
Court, and 6he Judgment of the lower
court affirmed, not because there was
not sufficient error, but because the de-
PENDANT had exhausted the amount of
new trials to which he was entitled.
The plaintiff disappeared before the
amount of the Judgment was paid in,
and tor several years it has been waiting
her order. Quite recently she has been
found, and will receive the money which
has been waiting for her.
The case is singular one, as showing
the trivial causes from which lawsuits
spring, and the gigantic dimensions
which they finally attain through the
obstinacy of htigants. In this case an
insignificant accident involving loss of
not more than six cents kept the Courts
busy for years, and cost the defen dant
at least 50, 900.
1t is presumed that the plaintiff still
has the historic butter-dish, and will
hand it down, as an heirloom. to her
children. Il Indianapolis Herald.

'Hurry back from church, for want
to hear what the preacher says about
Jesus, said Matthias Smith, of Kittan-
ming, Pa, to his wife, as she left the
house for church on Sunday morning
last When she returned home after
church she found her husband hanging
by his neck to rope from one of the
beams in the kitchen ceiling. He was
dead, and this note lay on the kitchen
table:
"DEAR WIFE You stayed TOO long.
I was so anxious to hear about Jesus
that I could not wait. I have gone to

ANTIQUITIES. Dutch humor, in its
quiet way, is irresistible. A party of
tourists, in passing through German
town, asked honest-looking fellow if
he could direct them to any remarkable
old things, to antiquities of any sort,
which were not known to the generality
of strangers. Antiquities, old things?"
he said after minutes deep reflection.
" You have only to go to the end of that
street, and you will find exactly what you
want" They followed his advice and
found themselves in front of the Old
Woman's Hospital.

CONFIRMATION SERvICEs.-ln the Ke-
formed churches the customary comm
nation SERVICES were held on Good FRI
day evening. At the First Reformed
Church, North Calvert near heaa
street, the services were OF very inter
esting character. In the morning the
regularly appointed services for Good
Friday were held, including sermon
appropriate to the occasion by the Rev.
j. r.. Rossiter. In the evening large
congregation assembled to attend the
Confirmation services. The whole num-
Der admitted to the church was SO, OF
which % were .recsivef by eertlhcates
from other churches, by reprotesslon
of faith, and 90 by confirmation. The
confirmation class had received forsome
weeks past through instruction in the
Heidelberg Catechism, which is the
symbol OF the Reformed Church. The
class was composed of II males and II
females. The services consisted OF
formal remuneration of former life and
profession of faith according to the
Apostles Creed; after which the candi~
dates received the ceremony of laying
on Of hands by the Pastor, all kneellng
at the ehancel rail. The singing was
of very fine order, the special feature
being the rendering by the choir, with
fine effect, of the hymn "Whiter than
Snow" as the calachumens entered the
church and advanced to the front OF the
chancel. At the conclusion of the servic-
es, Rev. Mr.. Rossiter preached an I'M
pressiye and instructive sermon, taking
his text from the fourth, fifth and sixth
verses of the ffty-third chapter OF Isaiah.

BeTCoUNTY NEws.-We clip the
following from the Spirit Of J.6srsOn
of Tuesday LAST
JEFFERSON CIRCUIT CoURT.-The
March term of the Circuit Court of
Jefferson County, Judge Jno. Blair
Hooe presiding, commenced on Tues
day of last week.
The Grand Jury, sworn on the first
day of the term, found but one indict-
ment, viz: Samuel Green, colored, for
petty larceny. The following is list
of the Grand Jurors:
c. r. Butler, foreman II. B. Deven-
port, Thomas E. Sublette, Jas. Law.
Hof, Warren Ely, William Rider,
JOS D. Holmes, Mmtha Walsh, j..
Garland Hurst, w. A. Marshall, John
H. little, Geo. II. Flagg, c. J. Man
ming, d. +. Shoemaker.
On Thursday, the case of the State
us. II. f. Schultz, for Tresspass, was
tried, and a verdict given for Defen-
dant Cleon Moore for the State, and
Messrs. Green and Kennedy for Deten-
dant.
Also, the case of the State Us John
Burns, Road Surveyor, indicted for
neglect of duty, was taken up, and the
Defendant acquitted. Some half dozen
or more cases were remanded to the
County Court
FAMILY PoIsoNED.-The family of
Mr.. Harrison Lloyd, who resides abont
3 l-2 miles from Charlestown, consist
inc of himself and wife, two sons and
colored woman, all became the subject
of a sudden illness Immediately after
breakfast on Thursday last, and physi-
clan being called in, the symptoms
were pronounced to be those of poison
by arsenic, and they were treated &C
cordingly, and at last accounts all were
doing well. No one is suspicioned for
an attempt upon the lives of any Of
the family, and the only solution of the
mystery is upon the hypothesis that
arsenic used for the destruction of rats
on the premises Of Mr. L. must 10y some
accident have cotton into the coffee
used for the morning meal, causing the
results above stated.
ANOTHER RAILROAD RUPTUIE--We
recently noted the resignation OF the
Agents of the b. & o. X. r. Co, at
Halltown. in this county. Since then,
Messrs. Wilson Brothers, the agents OF
this Company at Summit Point-being
prohibited by the West Virginia laws
from collecting commissions from ship
pers, and failing to secure satisfactory
remuneration from the Company for the
use of their depot-have refused to
serve longer in the capacity Of agents
and the Railroad Company has erected
an additional -sideling and placed there
OH several cars which are used as de-
pot, under the management OF Mr..
Ward, of Winchester. A telegraph
office has also been established there.
MORE TruEvING-On Friday night,
the 10Th instant, the smok-house OF Mr..
III. +. Shultz, on the Shenandoah river,
was entered and several hundred
pounds of Bacon stolen theretrom.
The following night DR.. E. L. Wa
ger was robbed of thirteen Chickens.
A Hog was stolen from the premi-
ses of Mr.. Daniel Dovenberger on
Tuesday night,;a nd on Wednesday
night a so ID. can of Lard was stolen
from the celer. OF Mr.. C. Ii. Gallaher.
Truly, our people are becoming af-
flicted with thieves, and it is TO be
hoped that some of these midnight
providers will be checked in their ca
reer before many more depredatlons are
committed.
