OF INTEREST TO LANDLORDS. case Of
great interest TO those who keep boarders
was decided before Judge Hagenman this
week. William Boyer boarded with
Peter High, but left without paying his
board and taking his baggage with him.
Mr.. High prosecuted him criminally under
thciact of 1875, which makes II misdemea-
nor to abscond from a boarding house or
a hotel without paying the board due The
case turned upon the construction of the
word "absconding" as used in the act Of
assembly. The court held that to abscond
man must either leave the Jurisdiction
Of the court or secrete himself so as to avoid
the service Of process, and as the defendant
had not left town nor secreted himself, the
judge charged the jury that he could not
be convicted under the act, but that they
should return to their room and dispose of
the costs. .-Norristotcn Register.

James IL, Duke of York.
In the fifteen and sixteenth centuries
the Counts of Kaerfenberger kept in
their castle breaker holding two quarts
and challenged guests to drain it at a
draught; but since 1880 very few have
been able to perform the feat, and since
Prussia became kingdom it has not
been performed at all.
Oswaldus Norhingerus, who was IA
nous for his minute contrivances, is
said TO have made /, 500 dishes of turn
ed ivory, all perfect and complete in
every part, yet so small, thin and slend-
er that all of them we're included in a
cup turned out of a peppercorn of the
common size. They were almost invisi-
bic to the eye.
Some months ago a curious freak of
nature occurred on the farm of Robert
jackson, about six miles west Of Middle
vile, Barry county, Michigan. In a
corner Of one of his fields, where there
had never been any appearance of wa
ter and where the land was high and
dry, stream Of water about the size OF
a mans body suddenly burst forth. A
large oak tree which stood in close prox-
unity was Frustrated. The water was
highly charged with sulphur.
