Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Sutton had as their guests Friday Mr. and Mrs. Alex White and Charles White ail of Ossian, and Andrew McMillen of Philadelphia. The latter is an uncle Cf Mrs. Sutton and is a retired cotton machine manufacturer, and in the early days manufactured artillery. It is his first visit here for twentytiv< years and it is needless to say he found great astonishment from the improvements that greeted his eye on every hand. A dispatch from Geneva to the Portland- Commercial-Review tells of a sensation there as folows: The scandalmongers of this place have been furnished a choice morsel by a disgraceful affair here. Mike McGriff, an old liveryman of Geneva, owns a farm two miles west of town. The' farm is occupied byJames Ewry and wife. Last Monday Ewry, who had been in town went home and found McGriff and his (Ewry’s) wife together. Ewry drew a knife and McGriff . drew a gun. A friend of McGriff’s named Binegar, appeared on the scene armed with a spade, but after all these warlike preparations no damage was done. Ewry filed an affidavit against McGriff for assault and McGriff was fined $9.60. McGriff then filed a similar suit against Ewry who was also fined $9.60. Then Ewry filed one against Binegar and the latter got the same dose. Ewry has left his wife who has gone to her home and there' arc rumors of a damage suit.

In speaking of A. W. Butler, W. P. Streeter and Mrs. Deborah Wall being cited to appear in the Aduius circuit court June 8, to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court, the Marion Leader last evening said: "The above piece of news conies as a great surprise to the many friends of Mrs. Wall in this, her honje city, knowing as they do she would not intentionally violate any law. At the orphans’ home this mornign it was stated that the ■fientz cmitfren were not‘there and had not been for some time and that the authorities there did not know where the children were. At the time mentioned that a demand was made on the orphans' home for the children they were not there. Mrs. Wall could not be seen today by a reporter. Legal authorities state that if the defendants are guilty of contempt of court they are likewise guilty of kidnapping. An ogder was sent from DeCatur to Sheriff Mills today to serve the. summons on the Marion defendant. Owing to the prominence of the defendnts the case will attract extrabrdinary attention throughout the state. @ ®

THE SCOLD’S BRIDLE. Brutal Punjflhment to Which Women Were <A»»ce Subjected, fjs ® The branlt, or scold s bridle, or gossip’s bridle, was neither niore nor less than a muzzle. It was in general in (Ine.t Britain from -ixteenth to the eighteenth century, and in Scot land its well wonuja were muzzled for ciflain offenses, sprhe at le.-jst of them more imaginary tfian real. The instrument of torturer-even a dog’s leather muzzle, is uncomfortable; how much more the scold's muzzle? It consisted, according to a high authority, Mr. W. Jewitt, of a kind of crown or framework of iron, which was locked upon the head, and it was armed in front With a gag, a plate or a sharp cutting knife or point, which was placed in the poor woman’s mouth so as to prevent her moving her tongue, or it was so placed that if she did move it or attempt to speak it was cut in a most With this cage upon her liSd and with the gag firmly pressed and locked against her tongue the miserable creature, whose sole offending perhaps was that she raised her voice in defense of her social ngfets against a brutal and besotted husband or had spoken honesjg truth of some one high in office in her town, was paraded through the streets, led by a chain by the hand of a bellman, the

Eggs constitute the most universal humanfood of ammal origin. v Plover eggs are esteemed a great del icaey in England and Germany. The flavor of eggs may be influenced by the food eaten by laying hens. Hens’ eggs have a white or brown color, but ducks' eggs are bluish white. Hens’ and ducks' eggs are commonly offered in our market, but turkey eggs are seldom eaten. In Virginia gulls' eggs are commonly eaten, and In Texas the eggs of terns and liereps are gathered along the coast. Turtle eggs are highly piized in countries where they are abundant and. though once commonly eaten in America, are tww seldom offered. On an average a hen's egg is two and a quarter inches, long and one and three-quarter inches wide at the broadest point and weighs two ounces. Recent official government figures show that eggs and poultry in the eastern states‘constitute from one-twelfth to one-sixth of the total value of all farm products. lit a Quandary. “Mary gets so excited when she reads history.” “Does she?” “I should say she did. She's been reading English Iflstcry, but she had to stop when she got to the Wars of the Roses.” “Why did she stop?” “She couldn't tell which rose she preferred to have win,”-Clet eland Plain Dealer.
