While laboring under the influ- ence of liquor, aud being entirely unconscious of what she Was doing, she was married to the defen- dant, and three weeks thereafter she leit him and commenced @ suit for divorce, on the ground that the defendant fraudulently procured tne marriage, since which he had on three occasions com. mitted adultery, The defendant replies to these allegations by saying that they are Wholly false; that he tirst made the cog me of peaks as she was issuing forth from Wood's thea- ve in company with two female friends; that he took thew for girls of easy virtue, and, without any for- ma} introduction, invited the plaintuf to go with him and take some refreshments; that she aud her compameons accompauicd him to a saloon on ‘Third avenue and, mae partaken of refreshments, the other two women lefi; tbat frequently afterwards ‘the piaintif’ visited him at his apartment in the Cole- yoan House until the bookkeeper of that establish- ment told him that slie could not be permitted to come where any more; that subsequently, at the solicitation of @ Mrs. Noe, the constant companion of plaintul, he (defendant) consented to marry her; hat the plaintiff was not a virtuous woman when we trst made her acquainiance, but that he hoped by marrying her to recla'‘m her, and believes he could have done so but for the malign mmfwence which this Mrs, Noe exercised over ber, she persisting to live in the same boarding house ‘with plaintiff and defendant; that plaintil left the boarding house where she and defendant were liv- Ing, and, in company with Mrs, Noe, went to live in a house of prostitution in Thirty-second street, both taking assumed names there. The defendant tureher produced the aflidavit of the cashier of tue Coleman House, to the effect that when plaintiff vislied that hotel her conduct was so improper as to attract his attention and cause him to exciude her from the house. The affidavit of the Ken fey who married them was also putin, showing that plainuit ‘was perfectly sober when the marriage was per- formed, apd that she scemed to go through the eeremony quite williugiy.

Howland vs. Robinson.—This was an action to re- cover a sum of $775, claimed to be due to plaintia on astock-jobhing transaction. The circumstances as set torth in the complaint appear to have been a8 follows:—On the 20th day of August, 1868, plain- tiff alleges that he made a contract with defendant to well to the Jatter 1,000 shares of the stock of the Erie Ratiroad Company at 46% per cent on the par ‘valne thereof, deliverable the next day, and the de- Sendant agreed to buy said stock of the plainuiff and y there'or accordmg to agreement. On the fol- lowing day the parties met, when 1t was found that the stock had «declined, and deiendant theu stated to piaintit, F to. his rent, that he need fiut deliver thé sidck as reed upon, and that he onthe] woul my rege guariers of one per gent on the par valué of $160 In lied of receiving said stocl which plaintift agreed. The amount thus accruing wos $775, for which the action is now brought. It was further alleged that defendants frequently promised to pay this Sum but had failed to do eo, Plaintiff put in evidence a broker’s memorandum of the sale by him tw the parties of one thousand shares of Brie, being tne one thousand shares referred to in the action. ‘The defence dented all the allegations in the com- plaint, and further contended that no note or memo- ra.dum in writing was ever made of said pretended contraet, or for the sale or purciiase of shares be- tween the parties; nor did the defeudant at any time recetve or accept the shares im quesilon, or any portion of them; nor did he at any tne pey or promise to pay, any part of the purchase money therefor; and further, that the a tion was untenable, he (defendant) never having re- ceived any consideration m the alleged contract, ‘dhe whove case tarned oO @ point of jaw, on which counsel for jes" defendant moved that the case be —eismmisset. ‘Ine case having beeu fuly argued by counsel onthe legal aspect, was submited for ure rajing of tue Court, JUDGE CURTIS’ DECISTON. Judge Curtis, iu deciding on tue motion to dismiss, said that the question here was not whether the de- Jendant bad made tls contract, of which there ould be no doubt, but wheitter he could be com- pelied by law to carry out his contract, as against tne point of law raised by tis counsel. On the latter int, involving @ question of consideravie import- ice, He would give his opinion. sae first ques- Mon to cousider was Whether the transac. tion between these parties here comes under or within the staiuie of frauds If it Goes it must be embodied within this portion ot the siatate: “Every contract for the saie of any goous, chattels, or things In action, of ihe value of fitcy dollars or more, 18 Void, uniess a noe or memora dum of such contract be made in writing aud be #:gned or subscribed by the parties to be charged therewith.” Assuming that Robinson was to be the party to be sued individually, Was the contract be- tween him sud the pialnti wituin the stacute of frauds or not? The eviuence shows thal all the memoranda in the case was asingie memorandum, signed not by the party to be charged or his agent acting within the scope and channel of his authority, bnt by an agent of the broker of the party wi secks to recover. That is not the ianguage of ue statute of frands. | Ou the contrary, it | requires aud demands that tt shall be si | and subserived by te patty to be ch | Tne point cited, 4th Robinsvn, simply raised the | question whether the agent of the party, alter it was ed that he was sueh agent, acting within | the scope of bis authority, could b nd nis princtpal, | although the prinerpal did not sign or subscribe the memoraadmn himself; but the agent cid sign 16 im his own name. Here 1s the distinction, and the same general Gistincuon Is ovserved In Lie & res ferved to in the Court of Appeals. Had the couusel wen that the memorandum of agreement had | endyt ned by the detendant, Kovipson, or by any agent of Jits, Wat would bring the Case whinla une le of these decisions. (See 4th Robiuson ¢ nson YS Muleck; also case of Dyker vs, Tow! tend, 1/,.Sinith, Court of Appe.is Reports.) ‘The sub- ‘sere by the agent of the party to ve “ate if . the stature of frauds, bri it under aa abo aaine or existence of the .princip: e, obtained of the social condition of our that we may be able to ductions and conciusioi building up a compiete science, embracing such an epitome of civilization in these United States as cence fail to be both highly instructive and enter- spectiuliy, to cl 3 %O Memoranduw, there is a great divier- ence, Of the stuiute is imperative that the Memorandum of ayreement must be signed and subscribed by the pariy to bv charged, and all the proof here is that tlerc was bo mewmo! randum, by the agent of the piaintill, How- land, With to the stock Jobing act, counsel for the defendants takes the right view: that there is vothing in that act thai tinterfores with or re} the statute of frauds, and if that Is so Tan obliged to follow the etatute. (See case of Silvernall & Vole.) H there was Do original contract, or if the ovlg! contract tiself was void by reason of the siatute of frauds, they, no verbal ratification could work for the beuefit of the party seexing to recover, Jooncede that if at the ime of the second agree- ment it had-been put ju writing, aud subscribes and signed by the Cefendant, 4 Would have heid him, because, uuder the statute of frauds, consileration would haye been presuined from the fact of his signing and subscribing the memorandum. Now, with regard to the custom of the street, I unink it 9 @ proper custom, and @ just and equitable one, and ought to be recognized in some way, either by legislation or by the adjudication of wie courts, In conclusion, | must say thas, so far ag the evidence has gone in the case, 1t demonstrates to my mind that there was a bona Jide conwact between the parties, and that the defendant desires now to avoid his just abilities In che premises. ‘The Court has o alternative but to dismiss the case.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:?— Ihave ever been deeply Impressed with the great importance of full ant accurate decennial census of the United Siatea, As a geographer and statistical writer through along life, and as an Ame- rican citizen, Knowlng the relation of the census to the powers and privileges of the people in different districts, both under the State and the United States constitutions, 1 have prized completeness and ac- curacy in such documents as of inestimable value. On the 1st of June, 1879, I was expecting to give the name, age and birthplace of each of the fourteen members of my family, then residing at No. 9 West Fiftieth street, and to answer all questions ofthe cen- sus taker respecting them. With the exception of a single day, L was at home every aay from June t to July 29, but was never informed that any census taker had ever called at my house or inquired for me, or for any of the members of my family. {t seems, howe’ froma note in your paper, that a census taker did cail some mein July, aad obtaiaed the information reapectiug the occupants of my house, which he deemed suMicteut for bis purpose, trom Heury Simons, my colored waite 1 have questioned Henry onthe subject, and he says that he has a vague recollection that one day—he thinks Ji Was in Juiy—as he was returning from af errand, aman met hy who lived and ol iy W some other partienlars respe tle family.

In-conunon with ail friends of statistical science, and of our republican institu. the fact. that if they will persist in the wanton use of the knife and the pistol, in violation of all law and order, the authoriiies wiil, in turn, make them tasie the bitter fruits of their own musdeeds, even to the utmost letter of the law, In this way and in no other can the strong arm of the law prove at ouce an egis for the peope and a terror to the evil doer. Gentlemen, each one of you has a deep interest in the preservation of the law; you owe it to the peo- ple to whom you now stand in the sacred relation of guardians to see that the law be enforced at all haz- rus, and that this wanton use of the knife and pls- tol be on eae checked by your prompt and righteous action, Most of you, no doubt, are blessed with families. Your w.ves and little ones, whose welfare you guard as you do the very apple of your eye, may, at any moment, during the present epide- mic of murder, be assaulted by the depraved and abandoned. Their ouly safety, their very pro.ec- tuon, 1s in the soverignty of the law. Gentlemen, in these days of lawlessness do your duty, raise your all-powerful arm in the great batile of law and order against crime and criminals; strike the blows which will force crime to succumb, and then it must follow, as the night the day, that crimi- nals will disappear like frost befure the midday sun- In doing this you will prove to the law-abiding citi- zene of this great metropolis that in the hour of peril, when dangers threaten Ife, liberty and property, a Grand Jury is, indeed, the true bulwark of society. The Leese may rest assured thet the District At- torney and bis assistants will cheerfully aid you m your efforts to stem the current of crime by speedily presenting to petit juries the indicted parties, ana on all proper occasions the Court will promptly mete out punishment full and equal to the offence, In this way will the lawless portion of the commu- nity learn that there is no escape fruui the rigid ana emphatic demands of justice, The charge was listened to with profound atten- tion, especially when his Honor alluded to the deter+ mination of the authorities to punish with increased severity those who wantonly use deadly weapons.

The religious services commenced with singing— We are coming, blessed Saviour, We hear thy genile voice; We would be thine forever, And in Thy love rejoice. After which prayer waa offered up by tie Rev. M verett. Addresses were delivered by Professor Atherton, C, B. Siout, A. O.

A very laughable and ludicrous incident transpired towards the close of the exercises, in this way:—One of the speakers iu the course of his remarcs called @ brignt-eyed, smart ttle boy, about nine or ten years old, upon the platform for the purpose of ask- ing nim some questions im regard to his Sabbath school lessons, with @ view to ascertaining what and how much the children of his school were learning. He first askew the little fellow if he had learned any- thing during the past week. ‘“O yes,” was the prompt reply. “Du you remember all you learnt” “Yes, sir.’ “Well, what have you learned since last Sunday?’ ‘1 learned that in playing cachre the JACK TAKES THB ACE.” “Comment 1s unnecessary.” During the exercises the ladies were busy preparmg dinner for tae mul- titade, which was served upon ao immense rustic table, from twelve to three o'clock, at fifty cents each. ‘Time and again was the tabie swept clear of everything, but the dishes, by the immense throng, whose appetites were sharpened by a day in the woods, but Mrs. Redmond, who, by the way, was termed the BISMARCK OF THE OCOASION, sO perfectly Wus she mistress of the sliuation; Mrs, Buckelew, Mrs. Courter, Miss Smock, Miss Faulkner and a host of other ladies came promptly to the rescue, and each time replenished it witu delicious se peibg Viands, the very sight of which was appe- zing. ‘The festivities were kept up until nearly dark, when allthe “Babes in the Wood” wended their way homeward, evidently very much impressed with “rhe importance of the situation,” and de- iiguted with the success which marked the occasion. | CRICKET. Conclusion of the Match betweeen New York- ers and St. George’s=The latter the Win- ners—Hints on Training—Comparison of Two Days’ Playing and Scores. ‘The return annual match between the first elev- ens of the St. George and New York Cricket Clubs, ‘was concluded yesterday on the grounds of the Jat- ter club, at Hudson City, N. J. ‘There was a marked difference between the play- ing of yesterday and that of the previous day. In- stead of improving by the first day’s practice, they appeared, on both sides, to have lost contidence, as the score below will plainty indicate, neither of the clubs scoring anything like the results of the pre- vious day. Byron, of the New Yorkers, who, on the first even- ing stood on the jist for thirty runs, was the tiret to reach the wicket yesterday, and seemed, as far as outward appearances could Indivate, to be m ex- cellent trim for the game, and it was confidently expected he would realize a4 many rans on his first imnings as Hatileid had done on the previous day for the other ciub, but he received the first throw trom Butterfield elose on to the shoulder of his bat, and let the ball pass on to the wicket, which of course threw him out from taking any further part iu the first innings. Eastwood, who was the next to follow, was “run out” after securing only also was caught out without geting aran at a Nor was the starting of the second ipnings of the St. George’s any more favor- able than the others. Norley, who led the game, was neatly bowled out afer getting three runs; Carpenter made none; Hatfleid, wno the previgus day scored the highest, made none; Mumford made none, aud Ratiiffe only one. The second innings of the New Yorkers SUL less satisfactory, Roger- yon got ten, Hayward none, Eastwood none, Greig none, Higginson none, while Smith made but one run. The name of the other wembers are given in the score. « It would probably be a didicult matter for specu- Jation as to the exact cause which led to so great a dutlerence between the'playlng of the first and second days; stili it must be confessed that if they had each received anything lke a sufficiency of practice such an untair comparison could not have occurred, and the apparentiy good show of condition aud success of the first day must have been a matter of chance aud appearance only. Of course there might be the possibility of a racoring less, much i one day thaud another, where tne inciemency of tue weather or any otter unforeseen obstacles pre- sented taemselves as hindrances; but in these two days nO such obvstac have arisen, the weather having been remarkably cool and favorable through. out, and the omy possible potuesis that remains, therefore, is Uiat the pri of the members has not been suficiently well cared for.

Secretary Richardson has decided upon the locks to be used on bonded cars, warehouses, &c., and has determined to have two locks on the bonded carg—one on the inside and one on the outside, The outside one simply secures the cap which covers the opening in the car by which access is had to the inner lock, upon which the government relies for security.
