The jury was callod Wednesday, but was dismissed for the terip, without having tried g case. . v ’ Suda L. Grim, of Union tp., was given a divorce from Calvin Grim, as per her complaint noted some time since. She was given the custody of the seven children and alimony to t ie amount of $35, to be paid within 10 days. This was her share of the horse which represented all of Calvin’s earthly possessions. The farm and all other properly was already t ie property of the wife. A case which at rat ted a good deal cl interesi especially mong the people of Remington, vis that of the bcate of It diaaa vs. C. F. Hariacher. Mr. Hariacher is a member of the Board of School Trustees, in Remington, and the action is brought to declare him not entitled to the office and to seat O. M. Vickery in his place. The grounds upon which it was claimed Mr. Hariacher was not entitled to the office were that when elected or shortly before, he had held the office of justice of the peace, and therefore was inelligibie to hold any other office until after the expiration of the term lor which he was elected justice. The grounds upon which Mr Vickery claims the office were that two of the members of the Town Board voted for him and that, as Mr. Hariacktr was ineiligle. the three votes cast for him were void, and that therefore he, (Vickery) was elected. The court reserved its formal decision until next Friday, but remarked that under die law Mr Harlacker was clearly inelligible, but the queßtion whether Mr. Vickery was entilh d to the office was not so clear and time was needed to study authorities.
