FROM THE COUNTRY.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. II. 1878.
EDITOR RECORD: am happy to write
you from this delightful watering place
and to give you the items Of interest per.
tanning to the fashionable world now
congregated here. l presume that there
are but few places that can boast of SO
many celebrities as this does in the
heated term-excepting investigating
committees. The Hon. Senator. with q
charming belle from your most flourish
ing and renowned metropolis, arrived
but few days since, and together they
have made the place bright with their
radiance. The Prima Donna OF America,
Miss Nj. g., is making the atmos-
phere resonant with her sweet melodies,
and all contribute to enhance the de-
lights which are always vouchsafed to
their guests by the brilliant and enter
tanning host and hostess of this resort.
The celebrated M. D., who has made his
name famous by his devotion to science,
honored the place with his presence for
a. few days. The Reverend Doctor. whose
name stands foremost among the theo.
iogians. is now rusticating from his
arduous labors under the trees which
adorn the suburbs of the springs. And
last, but not least. the right honorable
and renowned and elegant attorney OF
Phoebe. put in an appearance yesterday,
and the atmosphere now smacks with
legal lore.

in Indian campaigning on the frontier,
and there formed an aversion to the
dusky man Of the plains. It attracted
general attention by rearing, snortinp
and trying to break from its fastenincs.
whenever an Indian came near; in fact,
it appeared to smell in the air the an.
preaching red man, and would prick up
its ears and turn Its head in tho direction
OF the approaching Indian. even before
he hove in sight.

A LEGAL DECISION.'

At Stratford- -On-Avon there has been an I'M
porant servantgirl decision. The landlord OF an Inn
was sued by maid for Sl2 So wages due her.
She had asked permission to go for days holiday to
Malvern which at nrst granted, but subsequently
withdrawn. This led to quarrel between herself ana
the landlord in the course Of which she said she would
20 there and then. and that he could deduct montht
wages from the amount of SIX months wages due heE
He declined TO pay her any part Of the wages due The
Judge held that long the girl remained in the land
lords service he had right 70 control her acions and
was at liberty withdraw the permission he had gwen
her. II might appear rather hard upon the plann mas
