The Old and the New.

The old-style pills! Who does not know What agony they caused—what woe? You walked the floor, you groaned, yon sighed. And felt such awful pain inside. And the next day you felt so weak You didn't want to move or speak. Now Pierce's "Pellets” are so mild They are not dreaded by a child. They do their work in painless way. And leave no weakness for next day. Thus proving what is oft contest That gentle means are always best. ’ “Charge, Chester, charge!” Was Chester a plumber, that the poet should tell him to charge twice in one line? • * * » Delicate diseases in either sex, however induced, speedily cured.

In the second of the two cases from;county, pf old man Ropelka against his hopeful son Johannis, the Democratic Elector, the substance of the case, .briefly told is as follow: The father advanced to his son several hundred . dollars to pay the letter's expenses while attending the Ann Arbor law .school, and to help him purchase . a law library. The young man gave his notes for the various sums.so received, payable at a certain time. The present suit was brought to recover judgment Upon .these notes, and the young man thus sought to make use of the legal skill acquired at his venerable .sire’s expense, to beat the father aforesaid out of the money which lie paid for the said legal knowledge. <The defense made by Kopelka junior was the claim that the money for which the notes were given, should be considered as an advance onade by the old man to the young one, as his share of the former’s estate. The jury decided in favor of the father and gave judgment for five hundred and some odd dollars.

Wm. Cheever, the slow old party from DeMotte, whose brisk wife, took “snap judgment” on him and obtained a divorce in the first week of the present term of cou rt, was in town last week trying to have the divorce proceedings annulled and the decree set aside. The old fellow claims that the fair Eliza led him to believe that she had wholly abandoned the intention of procuring a divorce, and upon the day when she came down ahd procured the decree told him that she was merely going upon a visit to some neighbors. He further allegos that the playful creature actually returned to his house, after she -had obtained the divorco, and remained with him two days and nights before she condescended to communicate to him the sweet se•cret of the decree. There is no help for the old man unless he can prevail upon his. ex-wife to have . the ceremony performed again, and as there is said to be a much younger and handsomer man in the cas e that plan is probably impracticable.
