THE SoMERs DIVORCE Sur. .-Rev. Mr. Gleason's friends, swho number avast ma

THE SoMERs DIVORCE SUIT.-Rev. Mr. Gleason's friends, ,swho number vast ma jority of the people of Holland county who know him, will regret to hear that an adverse decision is given by Judge Fenn. He refuses the decree of divorce. The evidence of inconsistency he considers insufficient and in effect censures the ap- plicant for bringing it. The charges, of cruelty he considers vitiated by condona- tion, the couple living together after the last claimed acts of cruelty, and plaintiff leaving defendant with no intimation that 1t was for good and with view to nov ing for final separation by form of law. The judge says it would have been better had they never married, but that neither misled the other in ante-marriage state ments, though each was disappointed in the circumstances of married life.
 IT Is perhaps fortunate for Gov. Hill, of New York, that his term of office expires before he can be impeached for malfeas- ance in office, in having pardoned plis- oner committed for contempt of court. The pardoned man was a supervisor of the city of Syracuse. He was ordered by Judge Kennedy to return certain election returns in his possession for correction. Instead of complying he took the returns to Albany. The judge fined him $25O and committed him to the penitentiary for thirty days. The governors reason for pardoning him before he had spent night in jail was that he was acting under his orders. The best jurists say that the pardoning power vested in the governor does not extend to cases where the court is enforcing it's authority. The govern or's excuse was that 'sthe judge's course was not in accordance with law,"-a long stretch of executive authority. All par ties concerned, judge, supervisor, and governor, belong to the same political party

In loving memory of Mabel Barrett, died in Wilmington, Nov. ?, 1891: Fold the hands gently across the still bosom, Like child that is wearfed of play; She rests rom herlabors, 50 calmly repOsing, For the Father hath called her away. SiSMay Ns and % surely cap EeTrDle summons, But ane patiently a1ads Iise ! aopafng With smile that gave comfort to als. All efforts Of love were alike unavatling,
 She dr1fted unconscfOusly on, Till, with calm smiling face, she'd passed the
 d1m portal,
 And we knew that dear Mabel had gone Aut gazing through tears at those well-beloved ,.s featNfeS stf
 We feit that our loss was her gain, For Mabel so loving, so tender, 30 faithful, Had not lived her sweet life in vain. He who had made that young life so winsome Called herWhen to Him 1t seemed best; And nom all earthly SorrOwS and trials and laDOrs She is now forever at rest. Ohi help us, Heavenly Father, help us, ,s t This deep grief patiently to bear; And whom WE, too, must cross the liver,
 Oh, grant that we may meet her there. MILO.

Or the thirteen judges of the supreme
 and superior courts in this state two re
 tire this year because of having passed
 the age hmit-seventy years. One o1 these is Judge Loomis of Holland county
 This county, therefore, has now no resi-. dent judge, and in the nature of things may expect one of the appointees to be made from it's bar, especially as it has an able counsellor of judicial mind whom everybody at once names as the proper man to succeed Judge Loomis. We refer . to Benezet H. Bill, Judge Loomis' former law partner. So far as we have been able to canvass, the county bar is unit in desiring that this honor shall come to Mir. Bill. He has all the qualifications needed for wise, impartial judge, is well read in law, rates high in point of ability, and has the confidence of every one as a man of integrity. There are all reasons for his appointment, not one sound req Bon against it. When the balky legisla- tors shall be set right by the courts, and harmonious working resumed by state officials clothed with authority from the courts, as we have faith to believe. will soon be the case, one of the duties of the authorities will be to fill the vacant judge ships. Whatever the political bearing of the appointing power MT. Bill will doubtless be one of the appointees. He has never been partisan. We do not even know that he is straight-out re- publican, but he is to succeed, if appoint cd, 8 republican judge, and his appoint ment will be most thoroughly acceptable to republicans and democrats alike.
 Mir. William H. Goodrich has resigned the office of treasurer and business man. ager of the Hartford Courant company. The stock was held by Senator Hawley, Charles Dudley Warner, Charles H. Clark and Mir. Goodrich. MT. Goodrich's con- nection with newspaper life in Hartford extends over a period of over half 8 century. When in 1866 the Courant was purchased by Thomas M. Day, he associ- ated with himself as partners, A. N. Clarke and Mir. Goodrich. In 1867 the firm of Hawley; Goodrich < Go. was formed and continued until year ago, when the Courant company was orga- nized. A number of years ago the late Stephen A. Hubbard and Charles H. Clark obtained an interest. When the Courant company was organized MT. Goodrich desired to give up his interest in the paper, but was solicited to remain and put the new concern in working or der. This he has done, and, having am- pie means, desired to forego his active interest. This was accomplished by the sale of his stock on Saturday. Mir. Good rich is one of Hartford's best known citi- zens, and his retirement from the Courant does not mean that he will absolutely re- move himself from active participation In business affairs He is director in the Case, Lockwood < Brainard company, the Hartford Electric Light company, the Pennington River Power company, and the Charker Oak park association. In 8 great measure the success of the Courant is due to MT. Goodrich's ability in the management of it's business office.

He had made several quite unsatisfac-

fuse the demands of the pretty sales
women, and at last, to prove that he
could make one sensible investment, he
bought small matchbox and carried it
off in triumph and haste.
Examining it after he had left the
booth, he discovered that there was no
place on which to light the matches.
So, with the air of one determined not
TO be cheated, he marched back to the
young lady of whom he had bought the
box.
''There is a mistake here" he said.
"You sold me this pocket matchbox, and
there is no place on it to scratch the
Matches"
my dear sir" said the young lady,
"you are quite right; I made mistake.
That is intended for a jewel box and
costs fifty cents more, if you please"
"And what did you do?" asked friend
to whom he related his tale of woe.
