THE divorce case of Hobensack VS.
Hubensack was tried ia common pleas
ON Tuesday. Before the opening of the
case sort of compromise was effected
in which the defendant, DR.. HObensack
withdrew his charges against the plain,
tiff of improper conduct, and abandoned
the charges he failed to make good in
his fsrmer case for damages against Mr..
Spence. 1t was also agreed that the
plaintiff should go on and make her case
for divorce, on charges of cruelty and
intoxication, and would make no re
sistance. and in the event of her obtain
ing a divorce, he was to pay no alimOny.
After the arrival of the witnesses on the
Northern train, the case was at once
opened, and all testimony being in at 3
o'clock, the witnesses Were discharged,
and the Court took the matter under
advisement. This was thought to be a
happy ending to very unfortunate af-
fair, and what would have doubtless
been made very unpleasant and disa-
greeable matter to all parties concerned.

THE mild winter which prevailed
until Saturday in this latitude, had the
effect to forward vegetation, especially
early fruit buds to such an extent as to
render the preservation of the fruit
germ during the cold season of the win
ter very improbable. An instance of
the forward development of the fruit
was brought to our attention on Friday
by Mr.. Cyrus Kirk, residing east of
town, who showed us twig from a
cherry tree of an early variety. which
was full of buds ready to burst, and
some of them already opened into full
blown blossoms.

MIR. JOHN P. G. ALEXANDER, the gar
dener of this place, met with very un-
fortunate accident on last Saturday eve
ming. He started to go down the steps
from the back porch of his residence, in
the rear of the school house, when he
slipped, and fell, and there being no risers
to the steps, his right foot went through,
making lever of his leg, swapping off
both bones between the ankle and knee.
The break is said to be not very bad
one, but owing to the advanced age of
Mr.. A, it will lay him up for some weeks.
