 75 Broad street.

The trial of Mrs. Irene House for shoot ing her husband. the noted divorce law yer of New York, is now progressing at Trenton New Jersey. Mrs. House was his clerk in the divorce business before their marriage, and his first wife conven- iently died in the streets in New York. The testimony shows that after their mar riage he often treated her brutally and during one of these humors of his, she shot him. The murderess is we'll known among the legal fraternity ill this
 county, as was her husband. She is very beautiful and fascinating and g
 shrewd business woman. A great deal of scandal is brought out in the trial, and the chief one is that brother of Orson House is awaiting her acquittal, which is probable, in order to marry her himself.

Ihe American watch has now OBJ
famed an almost universal repnta-
aon Tor superiority over the
Hnsilsh watch, and this, in great
part because Of the less number of
pieces OF which it is composed.
inus the former, Of the key winder
oiass' contains l43 pieces, and the
stem winder 156 pieces. The
English watch, on the other hand,
10 composed Of 63S more pieces than
'she American. the excess being
iound in the tusee and chain. Ac-
cording to the length and tineness
OF the chain, the English manufac-
sare contains from sixty-four :to
seventy pieces to the inch, the fusee
and its attachment about forty eight
pieces. and this accounts for the
greater number Of pieces comprised
In the English article. SO we'll are
the advantages Of the American
principle in this respect now under
stood by the English makers that
the pnannfacturers Of the celebrated
Frsdsham watches have for some
time past done away with the fusee
and chain, thus reducing the num-
Der Of pieces.

A letter from Oberlin College to

there: "Some of the rooms are very
pretty indeed. One especially I no

giris--one from Houston, Texas, the
other from Pennsylvania. The walls
were hung with handsome chromos
and portraits of negroes; hanging
baskets and trailing vines were ar
ranged artistically and in profusion
about the walls, windows and mir
row. Altogether the room present
cd a cosy, Inviting appearance. At
present there are about ninety girls
in the hall--ninety merry, fun low

Union. There are, perhaps, no two
alike in all their habits and man
ners. Each one has her own pecu-
liar character. The western girl,
who milks COWS and washes dishes
when at home, is a decided contrast
to the eastern young lady, who at
