in that State. The property in which dover was
claimed came to the husband by the will of Isabella
Littlefeld with whom he lived in adultery. Line ar
gument may be thrown into dialogue thus: =.
Yeaton-By the statute of Westminster (i3 cd, u
C. "a, dover is barred by elopement.
Hobbs-'If she be convict thereupon," that is,
found guilty upon Indictment.
YeatOn-No, 'sconvct" in that old statute means
than that the fact OF guilt be found, in any
trial where it is material In this case the guilt is
admitted, and that is sufficient.
Hobbs-It should appear colaterally.
Yeaton-Nor does it. She claims dover. Defense
adultery. That is not collateral to her.
Hobbs-But that statute does not say adultery
alone was cause of divorce, but elopement, and
there is no elopement here.
Yeaton-Again at fault by giving modern mean.
ing to an old word. Elopement as then used implies
voluntary leaving of her husband and cohabiting in
adultery.
Hobbs-It has been decided in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Delaware that the statute OF Wes-
minister is not in force in those states.
Yeaton-Upon reasons not satisfactory 1t is in
this State sntegrd, an untouched question, 1t
ought to be law in this State.

Summer Notes.

| The widow and daughters of the late Bishop
| Burgess of Springfield are at York Harbor.
There were one hundred and fifty-fve guests
| at the Poland Springs House the first OF the
| week.
Lucy Lareom will spend part of the sum-
mer in Bethel at the farm house of John Rus
sell.
Henry Fairbanks and family of st. Johns
| bury, VT, are at the Fiske House, Old Or
| chard.
One of the pleasant resorts on the coast is
Fort Popham, at the mouth of the Kennebec
river The Eureka House, which has been
built there within few years, is well filled
| with boarders from Maine and Massachusetts,.
Old Orchard is rapidly increasing its hotel
facilities. Not only are more buildings going
| up but improvements have been made in most
of the old and well-known resorts. The
changes are particularly noticeable in the
| Ocean House which has been entirely refitted
and is now as wellequipped as any hotel on
the beach. The improvements have resulted
| in largely increased patronage.
Among the guests at the Atlantic House,
Wells, last week, were Mrs. Burleigh, widow
of the late Hon. John II. Burleigh; Miss
Florence Mouiton, daughter of Louise Chand-
Ter Moulton, the Boston author; Miss Blaisdell
of Wellesley, connected with the Lasell Sem
mary of Auburndale, Mass; DR.. Geo. Vandep-
hoff of New York, and J. Cumnock, ESQ.,,
(agent for the Great, Falls Manufacturing Co J
with his family.
One of the best arranged, best kept, and in
many respects most convenient of the smaller
houses is the Staples Cottage, under the charge
this eason of Mrs. M. f. Libby, hostess who
has won deserved popularity not less by the
solicitude she shows for the comfort of her
guests than by her excellent cuisine. The
Cottage, which is the old Staples homestead,
the original hotel at Old Orchard, has been
entirely remodelled and can now accommodate
many boarders. The remodelling toe, has not
been at the expense of comfort in space The
rooms are large and airy, and in this respect it
has an advantage over even the larger hotels
The location, between the Ocean and Old Or
cbard houses, is the most desirable at the
beach, offering fine views, open to the sea
breezes, and free from the noise and dust
which affiict those nearer the railway station,
above all the terms are moderate. The cottage
this year is open to transient guests. That will
be found great convenience by mary visitors
