The petitioner was named Harding, and some time ago, from Tootives of personal dislixe heshot a man namad Landt. As asuit for assault was threatened, it afterwards occurred to Har- ding that motives of al dislike did not pee’ B the action before a jury, however po- tent they might appear in his own view of the matter; so he made the well-worn plea that Landt was the destroyer of his domestic peace. Here arose a new difficulty. It was suggested that there was great inconsistency in shooting a man for interrupting his mari- tal relations, when at the same time the ag- grieved husbard did not think it worth while to discontinue those relations, or even, 80 far as the testimony showed, to mention the fact to his wife. So the husband, to sup- = his defence, brought sult for divorce, udge Curtis, however, denied his petition, drawing from the history of the case its ob- vious moral, that it is not competent for a man to — —- for an assault by bringing suit for divorce against bis wife. This case has attracted much attention in New York,and the decision is generally commended, the motive for which the joa tioner asked & separation having plainly shown. WORK IN THE PHILADELPHIA MINT.— According to Philadelphia papers, in the melter's department of the United States Mint there, —- the past four weeks, the mercury has ed from 106 degrees to 12) degrees, with an occasional dash up to 145 degrees. In the rolling-room of the coiner's department it has averaged from 100 degrees to 110.5 degrees, and in whitening room from 110 degrees to 410 degrees. Experienced men can only be employed, hence sabstitution is a aud many of the workmen have fallen at their posts. Every night they go home completely exhausted. Most of the men have been employed in the mint from Gitteen to forty-five years, and they all say that this is the hottest season in the history of the mint. Notwithstanding this great heat, the coinage has kept up to the average FJ 8500, oll ‘ agg ong @ month. eee roughout June the Treasury en! relied upon the Philadelphia mint entirely, the mints at San Francisco and Carson having been closed for repairs. Wit last thirty days this mint has turned out the Jargest coinage in number of pieces ever issued by any mint in the world in the same ume. In _ the fiscal year ending June 30, gold had been coined, #6,600,- 502 in silver, and $260,350in base metals, a total of 815,121,790.
