Cumberland Circuit Court
Ersd,xx

Friday. October 26, 1860.
George Spoon, Plaintiff, }
Tavftha Spoon, Defendant
The prayer OF petitioner has "as a
Savory incense" assembled to the Chan
cellor and, having bowed his ear to
the doleful complaint and sad bes
reavement of Petitioner, is of opinion
that plaintiff was awfully moonstrick
en- Eat the, end Of the vale where the
moon was pouring into the earth the
most silvery beams and in the
strength Of his lunacy he madly con-
verted the defendant, ION whom every
Goddess did set her seal to give the
world assurance of a woman" into
the most common Of all kitchen SER
vice. a Spoon, and, having broken tho
handle and lost the bowl now desires
to be relieved from keeping bright
and free from rust or canker the in
strument prepared by himself with
which to sup enjoyment.
The Court Is of opinion that there is
spoons, and therefore orders and adj
judges that the plaintiff be divorced
from defendant; that the marriage
bonds be dissolved and held for
naught; and that plaintiff be restored
to all the rights and privileges of an
unmarried man, and be henceforth
one Spoon and the defendant another,
and that the plaintiff and defendant
be no longer one but two separate
Spoons
The Court, however, advises the
Rev. Geo. Spoon to bask in the sun
shine and breast the storms Of life
alone, and not dip his spoon in more
trouble.

TO ASK 100000
FOR IMPROVING
LOCAL ARMORY

More than a hundred officers and
members, past and present of the
naval militia are expected to repre-
sent the Bridgeport companies at the
hearing at the Capitol tomorrow on
the bill providing 100000 for i'm
provements in the Bridgeport armory.
The Board of Trade. Manufacturers
association. the G. A. r. and S. w. ",
will be represented.
At a meeting of the officers as
sociation at the armory yesterday
General T. l.. Watson presented $50
to help defray the expenses of those
who wished to attend. The Officers
association appropriated a like
amount, the Board of Trade has
promised $40 and it is expected that
before tomorrow a total of $500 will
be available. A special meeting of
all members of the militia has been
called for this evening when furth er
discussion and plans of the militia
will be held.
AS a result of the meeting yester-
day the Officers association has TAX
en- steps to have it's constitution and
bylaws so amended that former Of
ficers may be admitted to member
ship.
The local militia men, convinced of
the futility of seeking to have a. new
armory built at present, have decid-
ed to work for the 100000 improve
ment and alteration scheme. 1t is
proposed to purchase land in Lun-
Der street ter permit the extension of
the present structure.

A Stuart's Tablet not only aids di-
gestfon but it actually does the digest
ing itself. In other words 1t furn! shes
exactly the same elements for the di-
gestion of food as the natural juices
of the stomach. The stomach, there
fore, is not called upon to do any Of
the work except to churn the juices
furnished by the tablet and then push
the digested and the strength taken
up by the blood to be carried to the
muscles ana nerves of the body.
So by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet after a meal you give the stom-
ach the rest 1t needs in which to mend
itself and grow well again. And you
absolutely prevent the souripg of any
food. the formation Of any poisonous
gases, belching, foul breath or consti-
patton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
done more for humanity and have
caused more rejoicing than any other
one agency that can be named.
Every druggist everywhere sells
and personally recommends Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. The price is so

It has been and still is, period when
caution and even inaction have been
desirable and we have preferred to
advise such an attitude notwithstand-

own volume of commissions. Bush
ness affairs have not had a clear
track ahead; they have been running
on slow train schedules; have used
sidings instead of through or even

it advisable to back UP. Fundamen-

often more desirable than@speed. We
have in the past found it practicable
to call our "alf aboard" with conf

to us that no real time will be lost
