nent citizen of Muskingum County, has re-
Gently applied for divorce from her hus-
band on the most strange and singular
grounds. She alleges that Mr.. Sales holds
family worship three times each day, and
at every service he selects from the Bible
all such passages as severely condemn all
manner of sinful acts, and then in the
presence of all her children the husband
hurls reproaches on his wife, making appli-
cations of the passages read to her case,

of the Scriptures she considers the height
of refined cruelty, and Mrs. Sales, it is said,

JUDGE EVANS, of Columbus, has enjoined
the Western Union Telegraph Company
from erecting poles in front of the property
of VIM. Wall until his consent is obtained.
1t was shown that the poles would lessen
the value of Wallis property from 81 800 to
1000. The Court held that the permission
of the City Council to erect the poles gave
the company the public right in the street,
but did not grant the property right of the
plaintiff. The case will go to the Supreme
Court.
