regard to the quality, nor to the quantity !
OF what we eat, nor 10 the time at which |
We eat it; we load our stomachs with all /
manner Of indigestible compounds and
go TO bed; but sweet refreshing sleep
will not be wooed by brain acted upon
by an overloaded stomach. Instead of
sinking into the realm Of unconscious
ness. our minds become abnormally ac-
tive, we catch up some little train Of
thought, and the first thing we a.e aware
Of we are in the Arctic Highlands,or the
Siberian Tundras, from thence We are
transported to Singapore, and 60 on
surveying expedition from Cape Cor
MORN to the Himalayas, aud in this mood
Of wandering thought we traverse sea and
land, history and biography poetry and
fiction. If we try to avoid Scylla, we will
run upon Chyribdis. The goddess of
Atvatabar" and Jules Verue's Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, loom
upon our minds with all the vividness Of
the authors imagination And anon we
get to thinking of Shakespeare with his
loved Jesse on the banks of the Avon, and
the last meeting of Burns with his High
land Mary on the banks of the Are. In
our semi-nocturnal condition we are on
the field of Burmymead, where the Bar
ons forced the unwilling King John Of
England to grant them Magma Charta.
We are with Ceur de Lion, and Godfrey
de Bouiilon as crusaders before Jerusa-
lem and with Oliver Cromwell at his first
appearance in battle at Marston Moor.
These thoughts, and many others, force
their way through our brain before our
stomach becomes normal and we sleep.
And this is insomnia, superadduced by
dyspepsia, is it? Well its a curse 10
humanity.
The ejectment suit brought by Mrs.
Louisa Burrell, of West Philadelphia,
against Elihu n. Lynch, of this town, fol-
\ possession of the Hart House, was deci-
ded on last Friday evening in favor OF
Mr. Lynch. 1t is remembered by many,
that about the first of May, Mrs. Russell
purchased OF Sheriff P. J. Hart, the Mil.
ton Hotel, then in tenure of Elihu NJ
Lynch, who had previously bought the
goodwill and fixtures of Louis Fox. Mr.
Lynch claims at the time of purchase
that he bought the property for one yea
from the day Of his purchase, from Mr.
Hart, while Mr.. Hart, who had to Civ,
Mrs. Russell possession, claims the prop
erty was rented TO Mr.. Lynch on Mr.
Fox's lease. The case came for trial af
ter a postponement, before his Homo
Charles r Purnell at Georgetown, an,
was decided by referees in favor Of Nh
Lynch, Mr. Lynch will, therefore, re
main in possession Of the Hart Hous
until November the 18th Of the presen
year
