Wetmore, the pro- prietor of @ paper box factory on ‘Columbia street, on the ground of crue! and inbuman treatment. The deferdant contended that the plaintiff was not his wife, for the reason that no ceremony had been performed by a clergyman. Tie papers show that privr to the 2d of July, 1571, ye! became engazed to be married, but the defendant was anxious that his father should not know of the affair, and prevailed upon the plaintiff to live with | him as his wife without the nuptial cere mony. In 153 @ child was born, of which Ihe d- fendant is the father. Up to that time =. had lived together as husband and wife, and the defendant had iuiroduced her fre: quently as his wife. After that he left her, but allowed her $6 a week. tly he re- fused to contribute anything to her support, and on several occasions when he met her assaulted and beat her. Yesterday Judge | Reynolds, of the city court, ordered’ the de- icrdant to ppy #6 per week alimony and $50 | counsel fee. ie heid inst the couple were a | much man ana wife as if a ceremony had been performed.—[N. ¥.

Dr. Vail adds that vegeta- bles, the edible parts of which ripen under ground, such as potatoes, carrots and pars- nips, ere heat-producing; while those that | ripen above ground are cooling. The la: including esvecia!ly asparagus, le.tuce,peas, | Leans, toma.oes, corn aud all fruits, should | be freely eaten. Meat should not be eaten oltener than twice aday,and lean {ts prefera- bie.
