WHO PAYS THE COSTS.

The Register wants to know who
pays the costs in that mandamus case,
about which it il SO sorely exercised,
and answers the question by saying the
county has already payed the Sheriff.
fees. As the case is civil one, in
which the people are not interested.
the county does not have to pay the
costs. We find, however, THAT the
Sheriff's fees in the case were included
in bill headed the State of Nevada
VS.. Watkins, alias Berry. and that the
same was subscribed and sworn to and
presented to the Board of Commits
sioners, and allowed at the October
term. Here then is a bill for fees III
a civil suit not decided at the time it
was presented. and so arranged among
other items in q criminal case that it
escaped the notice of the Board, the
District Attorney and the Auditor. aud
appears to have been known only to
the Sheriff and those to whom he i'm
parted the information that the fees
had been paid. This looks like a
"smart " transaction. but it does not
prove the legality of the proceedings.
1t now devolyes upon the Sheriff to
refund the amount to the county, and
in the event of bis refusal to do SO, it
becomes the duty of the District
Attorney to bring suit for the
recovery of the same. Incorporating
bills for fees in civil suits, among
items in criminal cases may have been
unintentional ON the part of the Sheriff.
but the fact that it was known only
to him and the Register corps implies
design mere than accident. That.
however, does not affect the legality of
the case, and we reiterate the assertion
that the county cannot be compelled to
pay the costs in that mandamus case.

Love, COurtship and Tan-OOze.
Several weeks since some Young men
Of Pulaski received a package with
compliments o. the young Indies at a
residence on East Hill, and unwrap-

of mOlasses candy, upon which was i'm
printed the delicate outlines OF the
fairy fingers that "pulled' it, and it
was all dripping in its sweetness, and
the boys mouths were all dripping to

divided 1t out and commenced TO get
away with it, when, horror OF horrors :

bottle Of wine, but, sharper than the

set it quietly away without opening il.
until few evenings since another
delegation Of young men called to see
them, and after passing a while in pleas

/ posed wine, and the gents couldn't find
IL in their hearts TO refuse, and it was

drank out and spit out. And then they
laughed the young men out, and soon

ly another young gent was announced,
VINO came In with the ecEdt of a gentle
man-bTed, and bowed and smiled with
the grace OF prince, and spoke with
the tongue of many poets and orators

stances allowed the young ladies pro-
posed another wine, and the young men
again gOuged around in their hearts 10
see II they could c0njure up a refusal
but falling, the wine was poured out.
The last named gent begged to be al

,Judpe FIemmIng,s Lecture.

"Man and Wife" was the text from
which Hon. VIM. s. Flemming enter
tained IA large audience at Odd Fellows
Hall last Thursday evening. lie gave
a history of the marital relation, the es-
TEEN in which il was held IN all ages,
and the laws regulating It to the pres
ent day. He showed how It could be
both an institution of divine origin and
a civil contract. The Judge elaborated
the quaintnesses Of the common and
civil law In relation to this institution,
and some of the facts he brought out
were new TO his audience and often
times iudicroUs. He showed how mar
rage could be cOnsumated, how Il
should be esteemed by the parties 70 It,
and for what reason it could be annulled
or abrogated. He commented on the
looseness of our own laws in regard 70
divorces, enumerating thirteen different
reasons or causes that could be alleged
for the procurement of such dissolution
and mentioning several others tina
could with as great propriety be incor'
POFated in the body of our laws. Th'
lecture revealed a thorough aoquaint
ance with the subject, and 1t was in.
struetive TO all who heared It. The lee

the postpOnement of the Martha Wash
ington Tea Party:
ain consideration of this being the
season of Lent, which is religiously OBJ
served by the Episcopal Church, and

postpone our Martha Washington Tea
Party until the close of said meeting

The Saxon word Lent (Which means
lengthening) is applied to the lentOn
season, because about this time the short
winter days begin to expand into the
brighter ones of Spring. Lent eOntin-
ues forty days ending on Easter Sunday.
1t is celebrated in commemOration of
the forty days which our Saviour spent
in the wilderness in fasting and prayer.
The last week of Lent is Passion or Holy
week, corresponding TO the Jewish Pass
over. This was the last week of the so
journ of Christ on the earth. Friday OF
Passover or Holy Week is called Good
Friday, as on that day it IS believed
Christ was crucified. Easter Sunday is
celebra ted as the day OF the resurrection
of Christ from the dead, and is the ter
mi nation of Lent.
