MISS CREsPIGNY, a Loue Story, by Mrs
FRANCES Hodgson Burnett, author OF
THAT Lass o Lowrie's," "Kathleen, !
"Theo," and "Prettv Polly Pemborton''
is just published by T. b. Peterson &
Brothers, Philadelphia, and it is pleas.
ure to once more inhale the fragrance OF
a simple, honest, healthy and clearly
told love romance. "Miss Crespigny. y
by Mrs Burnett. is perfect, charming
and entertaining love story. The char.
acters are all natural and consistent, and
act just as we should suppose sensi BILE,
cultivated people of peculiar experience
would act. In this respect 1t Possesses an
unusual charm. The reader is interested
without being able to tell why, for the
interest is always kept up, and increases
with every chapter yet, for all its sim
picity and smoothnes, there is not SO
much as the suggestion of dullness. The
contrasts are strong without being fore
ed, and the situations are dramatic with
out any apparent rehearsal therefor.
Miss Crespigny" is one of the books
that should be bought and read by all
that love good books, and another great
point in its favor, is that in size, shape
and type, it is very convenient reaiing.

MENT.
| NEW CASTLE, May II, 1873.
! The proceedings following those pub.
nshed In yesterdays late edition are as
follows ''io a.
| Court re-assembled at o'clock.
| Argument was continued before the
| Court on an issue for trial in the will
case of Mr.. Dougherty.
| Mr.. Joshua Maris, counsel for Martha
Drooks, whose case, Brooks VS.. McIn-
tre, was tried on Thursday and a yer
ulct rendered against her interests, made
motion for new trial and a rule was
granted returnable tomorrow.
Inc reasons assigned are first-that the
plaintiff has brought his suit in the name
Oh one OF the makers of the note only.
second: That the evidence in the case
9lSciose that the note had been made and
delivered to the plaintiff and the sigma
tiire OF the defendant obtained at a DIFF
Ierent time and place and without any
valid consideration.
Ihlrd. That the verdict was against the
law and the evidence.
fourth. The note was declared upon
as that of Martha Brooks and Eli Butch-
er and Henry Valentine.
Filth. The note had been negotiated
ana placed in the hands of the payee,
VINO Is the holder thereof, before the
name of Martha Brooks had been oh
tained thereto.
The Karsner farm of which so much
was sad at the last term of Court, and
winch Is well known as one of the finest
ana most valuable farms in the State. Is
at last in the hands of an owner, and for
the present out of Court. This piece of
iand Is situated In st. Georges Hundred.
and Is rendered valuable because of tho
extensive deposits of mari within its
borders. 1t having been sold at some
time, previous to the sitting of the No
venber Court by the Sheriff, the sale
came into that Court and was set aside.
IL was again sold this spring and the
purchase confirmed, and Zadock Poole,
the purchaser was granted a writ of
possession.
In the case of Zadock Poole VS.. Will
son Il. Vandegrift, s. b. Cooper, ESQ.
set forth that u idock Poole had taken
out a teri facias at the last term of Court,
and, instead of following it up with a
Uenduton erponos had at the present term
OF Court taken out an alias Jifa, and made
second levy. The Court ruled that the
TWO writs could not run together in the
same judgment, and the first levy must
be disposed of before the second could
be made.
This finished up the business of the
day and the Court, after remaining in
quiet session, adjourned until o O'clock
tomorrow morning.
The decision in the will case was de-
ferred.

The Value of Diamonds.

The question IS often asked why
are diamonds so costly2 Why are they
so highly prizede" This may be answer
ed somewhat in the same way as when
we determine the reasons for the high
value placed on gold, yet gold is esteem
ed rather from fashion than from any
real beauty. Its value depends however,
