ANOTHER DIVORCE CASE DIsMIssED.-The petit
ton filed in August last by Rosetta Booth for
divorce from her husband, George c. Booth
with the right to resume her maiden name Of
Rosetta StauD, on the ground of desertiOn was
dismissed yesterday by Justice Macarthur. He
briefly recited the facts that complainant was
but sixteen years old at the time OF her mar
riage, and says the law assumes that an infant
has not the requisite discretion to maintain a
suit alone. Besides this, such energy In mar
rage and divorce is not a commendable exam
pie lin court OF justice, and the law was never
tacle. This is case clearly against the spirit
and intent OF the law and virtually fraud upon
II. The prayer OF the bill should be denied so
that the complainant will not have 1t in her
power to repeat her folly while she is yet a
minor.

At times the disease threatened to spread from my
hands and envelop my whole body. Doctors have
been consulted in Philadelphia Washington, and in
this city, with no more success than q temporary
relief. After considerable expense, and much pain

About four weeks ago read in the Picav,ee the
known druggist, Mr.. LYONS, and resolved to try it.

Association, collectively or individually, to eX-
tend helping hand to them. The chair ruled
the appeal out OF order, and, in explanation,
stated that 1t was matter they had no business
to touch as an organization: that no one could
have more sympathy for these unfortunate peO-
pie than himself, but it was matter entirely
foreign to their purposes as republican organi-
cation. II this exodus was the spontaneous up
rising OF a down trodden people to rid them.
