and they continued to live together Until
| 1879 He then commenced the present
! action for divorce, on the ground that the
decree Of the Ohio court dissOlVing the
marriage between Mr.. KOllmyer and the
defendant was Illegal and VOID, aud that
she was, therefore, still Nj. kOlimyers
Wife. The case was first tried before the
late Justice Rumsey, who decided in favor
OF the plaintiff. An appeal was taken to
the General Term, and the decision was
reversed and q new trial ordered. lmme-
diately after this decision a motion was
made by the defendant for an allowance
| for costs and alimOny. The Special Term
| granted $3.50 counsel fees and $40 week
alimOny, and the order making such
allowance was sustained by the General
Term and the Court of Appeals.
The plaintiff carried the decision OF the
general term to tho Court of Appeals, by
which the case has just been finally de-
cided, overruling the general term and
sustaining the original decision of Justice
Rumsey. The marriage is therefore dis
solved, and The defendant finds herself in
most unfortunate position. She has
lived for Is years with man who was
not her husband, although she believed
him to be such, and she is still the wife
OF Mr.. kOllmyer, who lives in Ohio.
The life OF the two people concerned in
the case since it was begun, would form
the basis of romance. They were living
on Staten Island when they separated IN
1873. Mr.. O'Dea went to Europe, and
vas followed by the defendant, who urged
him to resume their marital relations.
When he returned to America, she came
too, and followed him to this city. He re-
NAMED in Rochester for some time, al the
house OF friend, and she boarded rear
by, and made many efforts to see him,
and to induce him to abandon the divorce
proceedings. She had notion that il she
could prevent the divorce, she could win
/ back his affection. A couple Of years ago
she W. mt TO Cuisine, OAK, where she took
up 1850 acres of government land. There
she has continued to reside ever since.
Her life has been one of almost absolute
solitude, but by saving the money which
the courts allowed her from MIR. ODea
and by several fortunate speculations she
has accumulated a competence. She is a
woman of much culture and refinement,
and while in Rochester made many
friends among the literary and art-lOying
people OF the city.

A NAP OF FIVE DAYS.
Young Mr.. Banks Appears to Rave
Needed a Long sleep, and Took 1t.

From tire Ne'o York Syn.
Alva Banks, clerk in the grocery Of
George Washburn s. Co., in Pleasantville,
Westchester county, is y years old, good
looking and popular. On last Thursday
morning, while at work in the store, he
began to get drowsy. He kept walking
about to keRp awake. He had had a good
sleep on the night before. At noon he wedt
home to dinner, but he fell asleep while
he was eating. He awoke and finished
his dinner, but after dinner he thought be
would lie down and take a nap. On
reaching his room be felt so sleepy that ne
undressed himself and went to bed. He
went directly to sleep, and kept on Sleep
ing. Saturday morning he was sleeping
as peacefully as a child. He bad not
moved a muscle after ne went to bed. His
brother punched him and tickled him.
pulled him ont of bed, and threw him back
oft. He showed no signs OF waking.
Dr. De Hart was called on Saturday
forenoon. A pin stuck into Banks leg
had no effect on him AT first, but when the
doctor pushed the pin in nearly to the head
the leg drew Zip, but Banks slumbered on.
Spanish ily blisters-a kind of slow tor
ture-were spread over the whole length
OF his spinal column and on the back of
his neck. The doctor also gave MIN some
cathartic treatment. Banks still slept
On Sunday morning members OF the
family, by vigorous treatment, aroused
him. He rolled over, yawned, and went
to sleep again. They kent slapplng HIM,
and finally ne sat up, rubbed his eyes, and
said he was tired. He was pulled out
and be walked INTO another room, where

sleep again. He swallowed mechanically
some food which was forced into his
mouth, and he drank little water. On
Sunday afternoon he was ava kened more
easily. 10 was not until yesterday MORN
ing that he woke up for good. He had no
inclination TO sleep further, and seemed
to be as bright and strong as ever. His

HoMEs FOR AGRICULrURIsTs.
A n Unbroken Wilderness to be Trans
formed into n Wealth Producing Ter
FROM the philadelphfa Time


From tie PAilddclphiG Times
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The geological
bureau has just completed the topography
of more than half the Appalachian chain
of mountains south OF the Pennsylvania
line. Msj. Powell, superintendent of the
bureau, in an interview to-day gave some
interesting facts regarding the results Of
the survey in this region. The area COW
cred by this chain Of mountains exceeds
| 100, 900 square miles. The general features
or great portion of 1t are as little
known to the commercial world as any
OF the wilderness recesses OF North or
South America. The commercial value
of the siumpage Of its lumber. Mr.. Powell
says, will doubtless reach $1,000, 900, 600,
and it's hidden resources in minerals will
greatly exceed this and add enormously
to the wealth and consequently the gem
eral prosperity of the country. The tOpO-
graphy completed, exposition Of these re-
sources will rapidly follow. This area
equals in wealth any like area on the face
OF The earth. Mr.. Powell says;
"There will be realized in the next
quarter OF century, from the work of
the geological survey in this limited field
alone, sufficient to pay its annual apprO-
pratiOn for the next century to come.
Partially denuded of its forests, there are
l00,0 900 square miles Of grazing region, for
seven months of the year producing
more than double as much subsistence
Tor cattle "a any OF the grazing regions
OF the Rocky mountain plateau,
with water abundant everywhere.
A million of people will be accommo-
dated with homes and sustained from
grazing and agriculture alone. An
enormous money product from the forests
is to be distributed to transportation lines
and to the laborers who mine the coal. the
iron and the other valuable mineral de-
posits, and TO the profits on capital that
by the law OF RravitatiOn must go there
when the resources are known. There
will be, in short, region of great wealth
| and dense population, selfsustaining and
wealth-prOducing, substituted for what is
now almost an unbrOken wilderness,
nearly all of it inhabited so sparsely that
the people cannot secure the advantages
of education for their children.
A large portion of 1t is ac-
cessible by water courses, tributaries
Of the Atlantic ocean. the Ohio river and
the Gulf of Mexico, and all of it easily
accessible for the construction of rail-
ways, the proper location OF which are to
be indicated by the contour lines of the
topographic sheets of aliases published
when the work is completed. This is a
part OF the work of the geological survey
rapidly approaching ompleton, which
will unquestiOnably result in the dis
covery OF new Eldorado, almost at the
gatewsys of the world and surrounded on
all sides by the most highly cultivated
and enlightened people of the republic"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The Senate's

There is report that Secretary Man

lection of Chenowi'h but there is no
public authority Tor it. The two men
have little IN common, except their poll
tics, but this does not authorize the story
that Manning is inimical % Chenowith.
Judge Shelley inherited some enemies
