Took the rat home, called in my dog, and told my wife thai if she wanted to see the way that terriers did rats to come down in the basement. She came down and shut the door, just in time, too; for as soon as Nip saw the rat, he, Nip, my ratter, for which I paid the old gent five dollars, made 2 most unmistukably cowardly movement to- ward the ball. Wife, cn a chair, said the dog | did not appear to see the rat. Told wife to keep her breath. Thonght 1 would not give Nip any reason for seeing the rat again; so I tied the string that held the rat to the cog’s hind leg. He saw the rat that time, and jpmped on the chair by wife. Wife laughed and shoved him off. Tried the siove next. Got off the stove without bemg shoved. The rat, however, being an old staget, and not being ured to such treatment, made a demon- stration on Nip’s rear, and } don’t believe little Fioia Temple ever made betier time in the same limits than that dog and rat made around the room. : Firet heat, dog had the lesd, closely followed by rat, who, on siriking the half mile pole (foot stool in the corner,) broke badly; in fact, near- ly broke his back, and before he coald be brought down, (he was sliding on his back) dog led him | by the whole length of s‘riug. Dida’t stop tor wind, but started on the second heat. Got off well together ( ent finely around, neck and tail, hed the jadge’s stand (wife standing on a chair), against which | dog brought up solid, bringing the judge down pre-eminently sud« if not digni- fied. That heat was decided agaimstdog, you wy bet, snd it was only aiter much persna- bat the judge wonld ecain take her stand. The third heat may be aptly termed a dead beat. They got off as weli apart as the dog conveniently could, and sa:led lively until just as they struck the last quarter, when the ra which ran abont as well on his back as on legs, ehied the track, and got rather que wound eround a table leg. Dog kept on jest as the siring and length of his hind ieg would let bim. On raising the rat he was tonnd to be noncompos, totally *defanct, in jact, dead. Nip was not much better off. ie Wife said that that dog couldn't kill mice. Told her that he had certainly killed that rat; brton viewing the feat in a scientific light, 1 must contess I did not frel quite satisfied with the performances of my pet, and the next morning give bim away toa milkman, who wanted a ratter to free his stable from the de- predations of the vermin. I haye not been able to ascertain which left him first, the rats or the dog. THE CRAMPTON DIVORCEUASE IN ENGLAND. Two very important and singular cases have recently been before the English Courts. The first was that of Sir John Crampton, who, when British Minister to Washington. was sent from the country for violation of our enlistmentlaw, and is at present Minister ai St. Petersburg. He married Mies Balfe, a daughter of the great composer, in 1f61, and has now been diyorced on his wife’s declaration of his incompetency to fulfil the marriage relation. He decliued to offer any defence, and the Court declared the marriage nujl and vold. The second case was & petition for divorce by the Rey. William Yates Rooker from his wife, for adultery on her part with one New- ton who was made correspondent. The peti- tioner formerly resided in this country, having been Rector of a church at Louisville. While over a church at Winchester, Va., he married respondent, and in 1561 returned to. England his native country. She had become gross! intemperate, and he had ceased to hve wi her providing heraseparatesupport. She then formed an adulterous connection with New- ton. There was no doubt of her guilt—indeed she confessed it. But the only evidence of the validity of the marriage offered, was an affida- vit offered by J. M. Mason, as to the marriage law of Virginia; and there was some doubt whether it was proved that the pereons referred to in Mason’s affidavit were the petitioner and respondent. The titioner’s counsel eaid there was copsiderable trouble in getting addi- tional evidence from Virginia, during the Present condition af affairs, and that the pett- tioner would not urge costs agains’ the corres- mdent. The Judge said that he was satisfied in the evidence of adultery and he would con- sider whether the evidence of the marriage was Was sufficient. He observed thatthe House of Lords and this court seemed have been somewhat unnecessarily eirict in requiring proof of a marriage, because it was hardly credible that persons should apply to have « marriage dissolved if it had never taken place FRANOIS MOHUN.} (eRanois B.
