What Ii Going on IN Common Pleas.
BEFORE JUDGE LIvINGsTON:
IL tho case of S. NJ. Ehler vs.. Amos
Meyer the jury rendered a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff for S5S.94.
BEFORE JUDGE PATTERSON:
]. Hummer aad Emanuel Shelly, for the
use of the former, of RaphO, VS.. Francis
Frank. This was an action to recover
money alleged to be due from q tobacco
transaction. It appeared, according to
of tobacco to the defendant for = certain
sum; when it was delivered to the defendant
in Mannheim he refused to receive it.
Plaintiff then sold it to another party ut q
loss of S35. 40 from what he was to have
received from Frank. The defense was
that the tobacco had not been properly
handled nor had it been we'll assorted.
The jury found in favor Of the plaintiff in
the sum of $39.6S.
Joseph Vauleer and Caroline Vauleer,
formerly Carman. his wife, for the use of
said wife, vs.. Sldwell T. Wilson. and
Needham N. Wilson, executors of Need
ham Wilson. late Of Little Britain town.
ship, deceased. This is an action to re-
cover for services rendered by Miss Caro-.
line Carman (nOw Mrs. Vauleer), while
in the employ of Noedham Wilson, for
thirteen years from 1852 to 1865. The
plaintiff claimed on quantum meruit and
on the following writing, rs an admission
of Indebtedness
"August 13, 1865.
give these few lines to Caroline Car
man to show that want her to have the
sum of 81, 200, at my death. She lived
with me number Of years and got very
little for if SO thought it right to leave
her this little sum to DO paid out Of my
property. From NEEDHAM WILSON,"
The testimony at first was principally
confined to the last SIX years of the plain
tiff's employment in the family of the de-
ceased and the value of her services during
that time.
The plaintiff offered tho writing referred
to in evidence, but the defense objected to
it on tho ground that, if anytbiog, the
paper was testamentary in character and
had not yet been probated, and therefore
was not admissible as evidence in this
case. The court overruled the objection
and admitted the paper, deciding that it
was not of testamentary character. The
paper was then read to tho jury.
Edward Zieglar, esq.,, district attorney
of York county, was in court this morning

TnE EPISCOPAL CONvEMTIOn.
"A Proposition TO Divide tho Diocese

"A Proposition TO Divide tho Diocese.
In the Episcopal convention of the diO-
cese of Central Pennsylv mia, in Reading,
Mr.. w. L. DunglinsOn, the treasurer Of
the diocese, resigned his office on account
of ill-health, and Mr.. p. r. StetsOn, Of
Reading. was elected to fill the vacancy.
Judge Watts. lay deputy from Carlisle,
moved ani it was SO resolved, after pro-
lOnged and some what excited discussion,
"that it is not the desire Of the people of
the diocese that an election Of an assistant
bishop be made by this adjourned Con
vention.'
Early in the morning there had been
rumors that many Of the clergy and lay
deputies had been in consultation imme.
diately after their arrival. and it had been
found that 4 change had passed over the
minds Of many churchmen in the diocese
as to the truest aud best means Of afford
ing relief in Episcopal duty to the bishop.
Favor was largely manifested to-
ward some plan for the division Of
Central Pennsylvania into two diO.
ceses. The mover of the original
agitation for the division Of the dio-
cese had sought for the erection Of three
new sees out Uf the existing jurisdiction.
which should be coterminOus with the
UOAuo Va tuo ptSSou5 COuSCutIOu. W OO
known as Williamsport," Harris
burg" anil the I" Northeast" At Mauch
Chunk. in June last, this agitation was
crushed by the resolution Of the c0nven-
ton expressed unanimously. with the
single di ,sent of DR.. John II. Hopkins,
that the bishop should be given an assist
ant.
The partial reaction was really in the
nature OF i compromise, two diOceses in
central Pennsylvania with the bishops
consent, on the can0nioal requirements
being met. in lieu Of the four which have
been sou .ht thr0u yh the movement begun
five years ago by the rector of Christ
church, Wiliiamsport, Those who sym.
pathized with his ecclesiastical views in
the afternoon session with much good
feeling and au air Of relief from a long
tried and often vsxel question are much
pleased at the conclusion reached.
The convention after the passage Of
Judge Watts resolution, ON motion Of
Rev. DR.. Gilliat, resolved "that four
clergymen and four laymen from each con.
vocation l,e Il committee, with the bishop
as chairman ex OiliciO, to report three lines
of division, upon one Of which the diocese
of Pennsy ylvania may be divided into two
separate Episcopal Jurisdictions, and report
the same to she next annual convention for
choice and adoption provided that before
action shall bs taken upon the question Of
said lines We recommend that the COnven.
tiOn then assembled shall pass upon the
question, "Shall the diocese of Ceutrsl

A COnscience-Stricken Animal.

A few years ago DIR. Schomburg, the
Superintendent of the Botanic Garden of
Adelaide, Australia, took charge of select
corps OF monkeys and kangaroos, a
''happy family" he might have called
them, if it had not been for the depravity
of an old babuina, or female Bhunder
baboon. If she had not been the only
representative of her species, he would
have tried to get rid of her, for her only
object in life seemed to be to make her
sell as disagreeable as possible. Solitary
confinement made her wildly obstreper-
Gus, but in the family cage she kept the
marsupials in delirium of terror, and
in the evening when her younger rela-
tiyes ventured to enter the sleeping-box
she seemed to consider herself diVinely
ordained to remove them by force. But
one day she attacked her own keeper,
and without any provocation lacerated
his wrist in shocking way. Schom-
burg at once ordered her to be shot. The
next morning the assistant keeper APP
preached her cage with a shotgun,
which had often been used to shoot rats
that infested the menagerie- building. The
other monkeys seemed to expect another
razzia, but the Bhunder knew better.
The moment she saw the gun she made
dash into the sleeping-cage, and when
the keeper tried to open the door she
yelled as if she hoped to get off on plea
of insanity. Meaning to try her, the
keeper waited till breakfast-time. but the
babuina did not show herself She kept
out of sight full hour, till the mess-boy
brought an extra lunch of sliced pum-
kins, when she made a rush for the
bucket in hopes of securing portable
piece. In that moment the keeper bolted
the door of her sleeping-cage, and went
back for his shotgun. AS soon as the
babuina caught sight of him she flew to-
ward her place of refuge, and, finding
the door locked, made mad attempt to
squeeze herself through the interspaces
of the front railing. But the bars proved
and, after another desperate
pull at the sleeping-cage door, the
babuina flung herself into corner,
closed her eyes, and was apparently dead
with fear before the buckshot struck her.
