National Guard.

Every indication points to the
reorganization Of the National
Guard. Adjutant General Hart is
hopeful. At present, there are fairly
good companies in this city, and
they are being improved constantly
Efforts ale being made TO raise a
company at Harrington and a
company is in process Of formation
at Dover. Wyoming has prac-
ticaliy organized company, and
several other places would make
the effort if the law permitted.
General Hart speaks in the
highest terms OF Colonel Theodore
Townsend,th present commanding
officer ofthe guard. The colonel
is popular with the men, he IS a
good officer, and he gives his time
and attention tothe work. In the
First De DeAEssssgias-nt at Camp
Meade, Colonel, then Major Town
send, made an excellent record as
an officer and this reputation has
been OF great service to him Ill his
efforts to rebuild the regiment.
The men who would enlist have
confidence in him. and this goes
far toward raising companies.
Since elected to his present office
Colonel Townsend has done every
thing in his power to get the
regiment into frst-class condition,
and he and General Hart are now
about to see their efforts crowned
with success. 1t is intended to
make the Fist Delaware Regiment
one Of the best in the country, and
no effort in that direction will be
SHARED.

Is a searching and careful discussion
OF the relations Of husband and wife.
The appellant, the wife of one Of
the richest men IN the west, now dea l.,
sought In her suit to set aside an
agreement made with her husband for
Il separation, according to the terms
OF which agreement she received for.
tune from him. Mr., Daniels was a
prominent dry goods merchant Of
Denver,and was considered worth not
less than 100000. lie was widower
with children at the time he
married the plaintiff in July, 1882.
She was mt that time 30 years old and
he was so. In December Of that year
difficulties had arisen and settle
ment and agreement was made by
which Mrs. Daniels agreed to live
apart, receiving from Mr., Daniels $751;
600 in cash and 100000 worth of real
estate.
Mr.. Daniels died in December, 1890,
and soon afterward the separated wife
brought the action, claiming one-half
OF the estate and demanding that the
court set inside the agreement of sep
aration as one obtained by fraud and
contrary to public morals and inn
proper between man and wife.
The court finds no traces of fraud
nor deceit and holds that the woman
was legally and properly bound by her
contract of separation.
