JEFFERSON.

Judge Woodbury. put his hand upon the
helm of the Common Pleas on Monday
morning last, but found very little busi.
ness ready for trial. He passed through
the criminal docket and marked for trial
or nolle, whatever remained Among the
former none were ready for trial, and the
civil business was scarcely better. A di.
vorce case or two was disposed of and an
adjournment was had. A divorce case in
which decree was granted, was that OF
Harriet A. Magill VS.. VIM. Magill, which
was peculiar in its features. The parties
were married something less than two years
ago, in the State of New York, when they
started for the home of the husband in
Grand Haven, Mich. After reaching Ian
sing, occupying some five days, he left his
bride waiting for train, which she was
made to believe was to carry them to a
happy home, but he never returned. Thus
left without means and among strangers, a
simple-hearted child of some is years, she
was induced to go to the profesSed home of
her husband, but after week or two spent
in inquiry, the search was given up and
nothing has since been heard of him. Mrs.
Magill has for years been resident of Ash
tabula, and her maiden name was Miss
Harriet Sprague.
The Keckly- Crosby SANDER case was, by
agreement of counsel, to be brought on, on
Wednesday morning. Although there is
wish in the mind of the public as well as
with the respective counsel, that this case
might not go to trial, there seems to be a
prospect of its going through that process,
and the parties being subjected to that un-
savory ordeal.
The languor of the court detraets from
the usual stir and activity about the Amer
lean House, and landlord Baldwin is left
comparatively-to waste his sweets upon
the desert air. To see the Hub in its best
estate, when lawyears and landlords and
denizens of the burg are in their happiest
and most attractive mood, it must be seen
when the court is in full blast-when equi-
ty and justice are having their perfect
work, when 1itigants come down freely,
and printers, and county officers, and all
the rank and file of the laity, feel the in
duence of the little fructifying rills that
the great enginery of justice and jurispru-
dence put into activity, The Hub then
smiles all over-it is redolent of happiness,
and radiant as a sunbeam. 1t becomes
magnetic, and all who come up from the
borders share in the joy, which, perhaps,
they may not all understand, but which
arises from the fact that justice, here at
least, is not left to nope about blindfOlded
and insensible, but is a real, earnest, vital
of life.

by the dog and both rolled into the river,
