He was working at the' planer when a board flew cMit striking him on the left hand and badly tearing the index finger. Dr, C. 'S. Clark dressed the wound. Some people have the mistaken fancy that this is ground hog day. buti it will be remembered that Henry * Krick while a statesman and member jof the Indiana legislature, changed this Christopher Columbus aunivers ‘ ary to an earlier date, which, makes it next to impossible for the old elm peeler to take a view of himself. We L will now see whether this new order of things will govern the universe from now henceforth. Amusements. The coming of the new comedy, “Reuben in New York.” at Bosse’s ! opera house Tuesday night will no doubt bring out a full contingent of our theatre goers.

QUEEREST OF LAWSUITS. A Highwnyinun Sued Hln Partner For Hitt Share of Spoils. Perhaps the most remarkable suit ever brought is on the records of {he court of rhe exchequer in England. It waV till'd Oti Oct. 1725. and It sets forth very clearly that John Everit and Joseph Williams were highway robbers. In its succinct legal phrases the complaint says that the men formed a partnership for the purpose of carrying on business as highwaymen. It was mighty profitable, as was shown by the fact that Everit sued Williams for the equivalent of $5,000, “being for moneys wrongfully appropriated to de fendant’s private purse.” This was the amount in dispute after the partnership had lasted only a year. Then Everit claimed that he discov--1 ered that his partner had not made a fair division of the spoils. The action was adjudged to be a gross contempt of court, and the plaintiff was ordered to pay all costs, while the solicitors who served the writ were fined. One of the solicitors, a man named Wreathcock, refused to pay the fine and was sent to prison for six months? Both plaintiff and defendant to the action were subsequently banged, one at Tyburn and the other at Maidstone. Trivial Canioi of Wars. History records one ear hat was caused by agl -of V . ter tie ,ir f the Spanish succession. A lady, Mrs. Masltam, a celebrated court beauty. ; was carrying a glass of water when she' was obstructed by th'e Marquis de To- | rey. A slight scuttle ensued, and the 1 water was spilled. The marquis lost i his temper, ami bad feeling ensued between the English and French courts. ' with the ultimate result that war was j 1 declared. The campaign cost France | ' many severe battles — viz, Blenheim. I 1704: Kamillies, 1707; Audenardi, 1708, ' and Malplaquit, 1709. Fully as absurd in its origin was the vur that took place during the commonwealth of Modena. A soldier stole , a bucket from a public well belonging to the state of Bologna. Although the value of the article did not eX'-.-ed a few pennies, the incident was the signal for a fierce and prolonged war. Henry, l the king of Sardinia, assisted the Mo- i dencse to retain the bucket, ami in one of the subsequent battles ho was made I a prisoner. The bucket is still exhlbith delta. t'ncle lurnt's Foresight.
