The Courthouse was crowded every u"y isss'

rather prepossessing, having biacR Hall anu

dark hair and beard, and is now miiIleo'
The evidence in the case developed Inc laet
that they had fallen in love Win each oIhei III
1874 and from that time on TIL NoVeinoei -oiu "
1878, numerous letters had passed. oe'"een
them, The reading of these letters Oh gushing
affection and amatory tenderness cre~1eo d
great deal of amusement. and it was often diff
fcult for the sheriff to MAINTAIN oroer IN the
court room, or ev<n restrain his own risloles.
The Plaintiff bore herself remarkably well
throughout the whole trial, and showed that
she was a woman of no small intelligence,
ouick-wftted and well informed. She told the
story of her wrongs in plain, straightforward
manner, that carried conviction with it. She
confessed that she had loyed the defendant and
still loved him.
The Defendants conduct on the witness stand
was in strong contrast to that of the Plaintiff.
He was flippant tried to be witty, and more
than once made statements that. to say the
least, were very inconsistent.
The Counsel for the Plaintiff were AIessrs.
Shefey & Bumgardner, and for the Defendant
Messrs. Geo. NJ. Cochran and Meade F. White.
The speeches of these gentlemen were unusual
ly good, and met with the hearty approval OF
the large audience.
The case was closed on Friday, and that even
ing the jury, after about an hours absence
brought in verdict for six hundred and forty
dollars.
We have purposely omitted publishing the
letters, for we think they have already had
publicity enough in being read before q crowd.

would write to each other, and of course are

them to write any better love-letters than they
already do.

He Would Write to Their Parents.
rR;rhnapd Harald
cleveland Herald

Colonel X, of John Morgans cavalry, was
not martinez; but, bearded like the bard,
had military air. Discipline was his hobby.
The soldiers of his regiment were young men
from l8 to % years old--all of them blue
blooded. To restrain these hotspurs required
tact, skill and frmness. 1t was no easy task
to curb this jeunesse doree. But the colonel
did it, and this is the way he did it:
An inspection having been ordered, the
brigadier and his staff visited the colonel's
camp for the purpose of conducting it. While
the regiment was in line undergoing inspec-
ton, two privates, who had been ranging the
night before in search of buttermilk, and had
endeavored to sneak into camp unobserved,
were detected by the outpost sentinels and
brought under arrest to Colonel y. at the
head of his regiment. The colonel, cooking
his hat on three grains, sternly ordered them
to his tent to await his coming after inspec-
ton, remarking to General ID. that
he would make an example of these rovers.
Arrived at the tent with the general and staff
after ranks were broken, the colonel arraiged
the culpruts before him. "Young gentle
men," said he, severely, ''you are aware that
you have been guilty of serious offense
against the discipline of my camp" "Yes,
colonel" was the meek reply. "Well, sirs,"
Numbered the Rhadamanthus, Il desire you
distinctly to understand that if this offence
is repeated L will write to your parents about
it. Go to your company. Turning to the
surprised officers looking on, he said: 'You
see how severe must be with these young
fellows. Discipline must be preserved

Some of the white business men and IN

The Window Garden.

1t is a mistaken idea that tender plants
alone are suitable for the sitting room or
conservatory. Many persons who can not
afford such plants as geraniums, callas came
has and begonias, think they must go with
out flowers or plants all winter; but their
gardens might easily supply flowers for win
winter as well as summer, without extra
expense and with much less care than is
given to ordinary greenhouse and conserva-
tory plants Most of our hardy shrubs
force very easily, and this forcing is not such
mighty matter as many suppose. Late in
the fall, or any time after the leaves drop
and before the ground freezes, take up parts
of such shrubs as you wish to force. They
will grow all the better next spring for the
division Select carefully those which have
blossom-buds set. These can easily be de-
termined by their round, full shape. Dig
them out with a tuft of roots and
bal of earth set them away
in a cool, dry cellar. They require
no care except to see that they are kept in
the dark and not too dry. They may be
ported when first taken up, if it is desired,
and set away in the cellar; but it is just as
we'll not to pot them until you wish them to
bloom-any time from Thanksgiving to New
Years. They need little care in potting;
but when brought up to the heat and light
of the conservatory or sitting room they
must be well supplied with water.
