sINsLRreN w. EUkEHA COUNTY

Last week the Supreme Court Of this
State rendered its decision in favor Of
the defendant in the interesting (from
a legal standpoint at least) cas- Of
James B. Singleton vs.. Eureka County.
The contention OF Eureka County was,
that the Act OF the Legislature under
which Mr.. Singleton claimed to re-
cover vas unconstitutional, for the
reason that it was in derogation Of
Section 20, Article 4 OF the constitution
OF the State. which prohibits the Leg
islature from enacting local or spe-
cial laws regulating county and town.
ship business" and the further reason
that there was already a general law
in existence applicable to all the coun-
ties OF the State, under which Statutes
1869 the fulfilment of the duties OF
night Waterman could be provided for,
If any such duties were required. 1t
was also contended by the defendant
that the Act OF 1898 was u%nconstitu-
%tional, for the reason that it was in
conflict with Section % Of Article A.,
which provides that "the Legislature
shall provide a system of county and
township government, which shall be
uniform throughout the State" where
as the law under review only applied
to Eureka County.
The case was decided upon law
points solely; the facts having been
agreed upon by counsel for the respec-
tive parties in the statement before
the Supreme Court.
The decision may have a very inn
portant bearing upon many other laws
now on the statute books of the State,
which, il they are not unconstitutional
for similar reasons, squint very much
that way.
BY the doing away Of a night watch
mar 5000 a year is saved to the tax
payers Of this county.

A Ease Of wife-selling has occurred
in Russia, which shows that the value
Of a better-half is considerably more
than repute assigns her in the neigh
borhood Of Sheffield, England, where
lately an exchange was effected for
81 so and the drinks all round. The
Russian wife was very handsome and
her husband sold her for 100 roubles
and gave a properly worded receipt for
the cash. Regretting his transfer,
however, he proposed to buy her back
in a fortnight and the purchaser was
quite willing to make restitution. The
woman declined to return to her mer-
cenary lord and the Ease went before
the communal authorities, who came
to the conclusion that a dispute about
a wife did not concern them. The wife
remains with the purchaser. Russia
IS semi-barbarous, but England claims
to be very enlightened.

Not a house in Lundy escaped the
general baptism this week and last.
The snow invaded every Granny. The
tightest bulkhead ever built could not
exclude it, and when it melted every
thing was afoat, until the cold turned
it into a Skating rink. Open doors
could not be shut, and closed ones
could not be opened. 1t does not seem
possible that snow will blow in along
side of a screw or nail, but it will. A
keyhole will let in more than a man
can shovel out. The best way is to
open doors and windows and give it free
admission then go to bed and swear
and SILVER till the wind changes and
blows it out gain.-Homer Index.

A pathetic circumstance.

Mrs. Lemuel Wilent Of Shreeve, o.,

pouring water upon her in his efforts

to his father that the more water he
poured the "tolder mamma dot"
Mrs. Wilet had frequent iainting spells
and the child had e water thrown
into her face at such times.
