Summer Vacations.
The churches in many places are now
closed, the pastor taking his Summer va
cation. The merchant, mechanic, &c,
remain behind, not Of choice but perhaps
of necessity. There seems to be nova
days, favored few who can afford to
suspend business to enjoy the pleasures
of travel and recreation, which are held
out more particularly to those whose
purses are well-fllled, and who are not
compelled to tread the same beaten path
day after day and year after year, in order
to make ends meet. But such is life
and those that cannot do as they would,
must do as they can and be satisfied.

Drinking.

Drinking.
He that places his supreme delight in
strong drink, and is uneasy till be has
drank away his senses, renders himself
sooa unfit for everything else. By it he
loses his property, friends and and health.
The only effectual security against in
temperance in drink is to fly temptation.
Taste not, handle not the cup which leads
to intoxication for when once its mode
rate use becomes habitual, in vain our
best resolves against intemperance. For
this warm weather what is more refresh
ing and cooling than good glass of cold
water or ice lemonade.

A Milford Divorce Case.
Some two years ago, the Rev. Jos. j.
Srmmerbell pastor of the Christian
Church at Milford, in this county, began
divorce suit against his wife on the
ground of adultery. His evidence con-
sisted of written confession signed by
the wife in which she acknowledged inti-
macy with different persons in the State
of Illinois, where she resided before going
to Milford. The Phillipsburg Democrat
says her defence was that the confession
was untrue and was forced out of her by
her husband on the strength of promise
that he would condone the offences aud
afterward live with her. Instead thereof,
as soon as he got the confession, he re-
fused to have anything more to do with
her, and at once commenced the divorce
proceedings. The matter was referred to
Barker Gummere, Esq Advisory Master,
and large amount of evidence was taken.
The Court of Chancery refused to grant
the divorce, on the opinion of Mr. Gum
mere, on the ground that divorce from
the bonds of matrimony will not be
granted on the unsupported confession of
either party, and in this case there was no
evidence against the wife except the con-
fession. Mr.. Summerbell appealed the
case to the Court of Errors and Appeals
and the case was argued before that
Court at the last March term. On Mon
day of last week. the Court Of Errors
rendered an opinion in the case refusing
the divorce, the vote standing five judges
for affirming the decree of the Court of
Chancery and five for reversal. Senator
Stockton, counsel for Mr.. Summerbell, at
once applied for an order to retain the
record that he might apply at the next
term to re.argue the case, as the Court
was evenly divided and there were five
judges who did not sit in the case. The
Court granted his application and proba
bly, the case will be re-argued. The suit
excites much interest in Milford and vi
cinty, and has become quite a celebrated
case.

A Virginian so highly esteems ham

why the driver. in the following appe-

standard of comparison:
A gentleman travelling in Virginia
had occasion to take stage-ride in Or

on the seat with the driver, he fell into
conversation with him. and found that
he was a veteran in killing deer. bears
and smaller game. Passing a stream,
the traveller inquired ii it contained
fish:

"What kindP"

these mountain streams are full of
trout"
"They must be fine eating" was the
next remark.
"Fine eatin'r' exclaimed the driver.
"You just 60 up to the mountain and

inches long, clean 'em without washin'
