The Lynch Children.
Hearing BEFORE Judge Wales Upon the

t0<Iv.

Hearing Before Judge Wales Upon the
Fathers Application for their Gus
toty.
In the GAzETrE, last week was men
toned the attempt of Mr.. VIM. Lynch
to obtain the custody of his children,
who, since the death of their mother,
have been living with their grandfath-
er, Mr.. James Bratton. Mr.. Lynch
had filed petition in the Superior
Court for writ of hd6eas corpus to se-
cure to him the possession of his chill
dren, and the hearing upon the writ so
granted, was heard yesterday, by Judge
Wales, in the Law Library, at ten
o'clock a. m. A number of witnesses
were examined by Mr.. Spruance, on
the part OF Mrs. Bratton, and upon the
part of Mr.. Lynch, many respectable
witnesses were examined, including
his brother, a clergyman, who apparent.
ly most satisfactorily proved Lynch's
complete reformation, and contradicted
many of the avertments of the other
side. One of the painful features of
the case was the testimony OF Miss
Mary Lynch, young girl of about II
years of age, who manifested intense
hostility to her father.
The case was one in which intense
feeling was manifested by both sides.
1t lasted the entire day until six in the
evening, and was concluded by Mr.
Spruance for the Bratton's, and by MIR.
O'Byrne for Mr.. Lynch.
The Judge will consider the case and
decide it at some future day. Mean
time the children will remain with
their grand father
ANOTHER SUIT FOR CUSTODY.
Judge Wales heard yesterday, upon
writ OF hdbeas corpus, the case of Miss
| Catharine Hughes, of Philadelphia, VS..
Mrs. Mcfarland, Of this city, wherein
the former claims the custody of her
neice, q girl about fourteen years OF
age, named Bridget McCahey. The
father of the child resides in the coun.
ty of Tyrone, in Ireland, and about a
year ago, requested Miss Hughes to
send for the child ,and take care of her
she did so, paying her passage to this
country. Iu the month of September,
Mrs. Mcfarland induced the child,
who was on visit TO Wilmington, to
remain with her, promising TO send
her to school. Instead of doing 80 she
put her in the match factory near this
city, to work. When this was COM
municated to Miss Hughes, she took
immediate sters to obtain her custody
After the hearing, Judge Wales, in 9
brief opinion, reviewed the case, aud
concluded as follows:
| Miss Hughes lives out at service ant
has no home to offer her niece, ant
would be compelled to find her on,
among strangers while Mrs. McGartlapt
gives Bridget home, and makes hel
one of her own family. On consider
alton of the whole case, do not thinl
it my duty to change the custody o.
Bridget McCahey, and she is accord
ingly rcmanded to the respondent.

Manuring Trees.

A writer in the Indiana Farmer says
that strong, fresh manure is not un-
usually so good for fruit trees as good
peaches and apples grown with manure
are less sound and have poorer hav or.
When the same degree of vigor can be
impaired to the trees with cultivation
alone, the fruit is better for it. This
statement reminds us of the remark
made many years ago by w. A. Under
hill (brother of DIR. Underhill, of Croton
Point, widely known to grape growers, }
that in his own vineyard he uses no
manure, but cultivated once week till
the grapes had formed and that these
grapes were better ripened and sweeter
than those in the DOCTORS vineyard
where manure was used and less cultiva-
tion given.
