The Way of the Law.

The June number of the District Reporter, published at Battle Ground, by the Bev. J. H. Cisgel, D. D., comes to us considerably enlarged, and much improved typographically. The School Trustees of the town of Rensselear will choose their teachers, for the ensuing year, within the next few days. An additional primary department will be provided for. The Minstrel and Variety show given at the Opera House last evening, under the auspices of the “Comets base ball club, was an unqualified success in every particular. The attendance was large and the fun unlimited. It will lea re a handsome balance in the treasury of the club. Lucky Logansport.—The Insane Asylum Commission decided last Saturday to locate one of th? new insane asylums at Logansport and one at Richmond. The other goes to Evansville according to the provisions of the law. Logansport and Richmand make large donations of land for the asylums. We have received a copy of the premium list of the next Remington Fair. It will be held at the grounds of the Association at Remington, on August 28, 29, o 0 and 31st. The sum total of the cash premiums offered is §2OOO.

The strongest illustration of the cheek of the profession that we have seen for some time was in the case of Phillips vs. Atkinson, tried in the Jasper Circuit court last week on a change. of venue from Benton Co., wherein certain attorneys obtained a judgement for Plaintiff in the sum of one hundred dollars, and then filed a lien on the same, for the full amount, by way of attorney’s fees, leaving the plaintiff to foot the expenses of the trial out of his own pocket.
