A Preachers Divorce Suit.


THE CASES OF REV. MR. sUMMERBELL BEFORE TIE
JERSEY COURT OF APPEALS.
special dispatch to the Philadelphia Times
from Trenton, June rs, says: 1.-THE Rev. Joseph j.
Summerbell was long well-known clergyman In
Milford, Hunterdon county. He lived happily with
his wife, Martha Alice Summerbell, until 1877
when he believed he discovered unfaithfulness on
her part In that year she went to visit friends
In Indiana While there the Rev. Mr. Summer
bell learned that she was crlminally intimate
son, and the physician that attended her, John H.
Heling, OF Peru, Indiana. He filed bill for COM
plete divorce In the court Of chancery on March
10, 1879. Mrs Summerbell filed an answer on May
16, 1879. She denied all the charges. She also
brought counter-charges OF like nature against
the Rev. Mr. SummerbelL Bills and crOss-bils
without number were then filed. A partition had
to be knocked out in the court of chancery vaults
to admit the mass OF evidence after the case had
been referred to Barker Gummere, OF this city, as
advisory master. The testimony was UNIT for
publication in newspaper. On Mr. Gummeres
advice the chancellor dismissed the bill. The Rev.
Mr.. Summerbell at once appealed to the court of
errors The case was argued before that court In
five agreed to affirm the decree and five voted
against 1t. On account OF this singular state of
affairs the Rev. Mr. Summerbell asked for a rear
gument, which the court allowed The case was
argued before full bench to-day, the chancellor
alone not sitting. Attorney General Stockton ap-
peared for the Rev. Mr. Summerbell and Prose
cutor Beasley for Mrs. Summerbell. A large audi
ence listened to the arguments The decision will
be rendered at the November term OF the court"

TOp-dTessing would improve it very much,

The loss Of a grain crop, while preparing to
reseeG, will be more than paid for in the I'M
proved condition Of the soil. Ground which
hes lain long TO grass becomes exhausted Of
available fertility, and needs thoroughly STIR
ring and aeIaiing TO facilitate the solution of
the undissolyed plant food. which lies dor
mant in the soil, unavailable and useless
until made solable by exposure to the air.
1t is not good policy to LEI either pasture or
meadow lie too loGg without breaking up
ard IulYeTizing the earth anew
Modern science and the best prac-
tioe agree in maintaining that the
quickest and cheapest way % enrich most
soils is TO thoroughly cultivate and stir them
10 hasten the decomposition Of mineral mat
ters which serve as plant food. What may
thus be gained by following aud the rotting
OF grass roots will put the meadow in cues
ton in splendid condition for crops for a Sc
ries OF years. We would advise keeping this
fact in mind while working the soil. Ashes,
lesched or unlesched. make an excellent for
ulizer for either meadow or pasture if sOwn
upon ground which il naturally dry. They
are IS valuable for the Grain grower ss the
dairy man. Leschsd ashes By the load are
worth about twice as much as barnysrl
manure. and unleached twenty-five cents q
bUshel. The immediate effect Of ashes is not
equal to that OF manures. but it continues
much longer. Coal ashes are chiefly useful
for their mechanical effect ia loosening q
compact soil.

the reverse of this, the reason of which
is that they flag through trsnsplanting;
and having lost their mainstay 1.-THE tap rootl
they suffer during dry weather, as, instead OF
being able 10 penetrate deeply into the soil
and search for food and moisture below,
they are entirely dependent on what they
find within their reach above. where the sup
ply often falls. Distressed and checked by
sun ard drought, the tissues become hard
ened, and the lettuces are in consequence
tough and indigestible and unfit to eat. The
best place to get let;uces at this season of the
year is ON the ridges between rows of celery,
as there they have great depth of soil, owing
to the addition of that thrown out from the
trenches, snd as it is principally surface ma
terial they have to root 10, and as their ele-
waited position affords them plenty of room,
light and air, they are able to reach the
fullest stage of DEVELOPMENT. If the land
appears to be all poor, it is good plan before
digging the trenches for the celery to scatter
q thin layer of rotten manure between, which
manure the lettuces will have to make Of
when the begin TO turn in.
