A MISER’S WIFI. In the Circuit Court, Chicago, on Wed nesday last, Mary Ann Smith filed a bill for divorce irom her husband, Benjamin H. Smith, a wealthy farmer in Henry county, Illinois. The wife’s story is told by the Chicago Tribune: “The facts which are made to appear by the bill are, that tiie parties were married at Aurora, Kane county, of that State, on the 22d day of September last, whereupon they removed to a farm belonging to de fendant, at Genesee, where they occupied his house in company with a son of de fendant and his wife. They lived together until the 14th of December, a little less than three months, when the defendant vacated the premises and left his family, the wife remaining in the house with her stepson and his wile, until the day pre ceding Christmas, when she, having sold some little articles of private personal property, made her way to Chicago to seek a home with her friends and relatives. At the time of the marriage the wife states she was a weak woman, unable to perform heavy labor, by reason of the ef fects of a broken wrist. She was the own er of some amount of household goods— crockery, beds, bedding—and in the re ceipt of a pension of from the govern ment, the pension expiring, however, upon ber marriage. Having transferred her home to the dwelling of her husband, she took with her her household wares, and found that those were all that the house afforded; that to that time the husband had few if any of such conveniences. She here encount ered her first disappointment. It is true that upon the eve of the wedding she pur chased for him a clean and new shirt in which he might ‘stand up,' but she had supposed that necessity was imposed upon her because of his widowed condition, in which she supposed he had nobody to mind things and attend to matters. When she joined him this want she expected to sup ply, so that the spectacle of dirty and rag ged clothing would thenceforward be un known to him in the household. The disappointment was followed, it is said, by great cruelty. The woman thus summarizes these acts. She says that, notwithstanding the weakness of her wrist, he compelled her by force, and by working upon her fears, to do all the house work in his family of six or seven grown up persons engaged upon the farm to take care of, clean and milk eight, cows; do the washing of the family; churn butter and preserve it—so that by reason of overwork and pain she became sick. Sick or well, he refused to allow her to have coffee, tea or sugar, and provided her only with meat that had been salted, common vegetables and corn bread. She became more sick, ami then he refused her the aid of medieal advice or the support of medicines. To intensify this, he refused to provide her with clothing rendered necessary by the approaching and increasing cold of the season, forbade her the use of but one stove, and that in the kitchen, and com pelled her, illy clad and sick, to be up at early dawn to procure fuel to cook with. Witli these acts he belabored her with his tongue. Personally the husband is represented to be unclean to a degree. It is said of him that he is so filthy about his person that ver min invested hint; and yet lie forced her to occupy his room and lied, and that he refused, from sheer niggardly habit, to pro cure clothing, proper food, ice., having in all his life purchased for her a shoe-string —a poor recompense for the new shirt she gave him at date of marriage.” THE SHO0TIXG IX PARIS. Prince Bonaparte published his version of the shooting affair in which he was en gaged on Monday in the Paris Journals of Tuesday. The statement is made by Paul Cassagnac. He says the Prince made the following statement to him on his honor: “M. Fonvielle and M. Victor Noir came to my residence with a menacing air, with their hands in their pockets, and presented a letter from M. Pascal Grousette. I said, ‘It is Rochefort, and not his creatures I seek.” ‘Read the letter,’ replied Noir. 1 had my hand on a pistol in my pocket. ‘Are vou responsible for it?’ 1 asked. At this f received a slap in the face front Noir, when I drew my revolver and lired at him. Fonvielle crouched behind a chair, and, front the protection it afforded, aimed his revolver at me, but he could not get it to get off. 1 fired at hint while lie was in that position, when he ran out of the room. lie stopped in the next room and again turned his pistol toward me. I fired at him again and he fled.” The Journal Officiel contains a decree convoking the Chambers, for the purpose of bringing an action before the High Court of Justice to decide upon the charge of homicide against Prince Bonaparte. The Prince belonging to the Emperor’s family, the examination must be held be fore this Court. At the sitting of the Corps Legislate Tuesday, AI. Gnyot Aioutpayroux proposed that members of tiie Imperial family be rendered amendable to law. He said ho had no intention of creating trouble; he wished simply to do away with unlawful exceptions. AI. Henri Rochefort referred in bitter terms to the murder of Victor Noir. He said Noir was one of the people, and the people should judge his murderer, who, though cousin to the Emperor, must not tie j allowed to escape. Air. Ollivier, in his reply, promised that they should have justice, in the course 1 of his speech he used these words: “Wo j are justice, law and moderation; if you force us, we will be power." A communication from the Procureur Imperial was laid before the Chamber, demanding the urraingment of Deputy i Henri Rochefort for outrage against the Emperor and for exciting disorder and violence. The demand was referred to a I Committee. Titcomb'i Aromatic Tonic Elixir! other PO ter DRUG STORE.

ILocal arUr State Netos. Plenty of snow at Skowhegan. Ex-Got. Coburn was in town yesterday. Petitions are flowing in to the Legislature. Tickets are being sold for the home course of lectures. New counterfeit fifty cent currency is in circulation. An extra session of the Legislature is seri ously talked of. Are we not to have a bal masque in this city the present winter? Mr. Wells’ Hydrographic Report is to be extensively circulated throughout the State. Senator Mayo from Piscataquis appeared and took his seat yesterday. The Y. M. C. A. of Gardiner hold their an niversary meeting on Monday evening next. The boy who plugged up the keyhole to the school house probably belongs to the "plug uglies.” Delegates from Westbrook are here, some opposed and some in favor of the division of the town. While the river at Gardiner is closed by ice, ther waters of the Kennebec arc yet unchained at this place. The accommodation train virtually makes one of the three cities of Gardiner, Hnilowcll and Augusta. The Street commissioner yesterday prompt ly performed his duty in scattering sand upon the slippe ry sidewalks. The little girl who went to hunt for eggs and found none, "but saw lots of liens stand ing round doing nothing," belong in this eity. We were yesterday treated with a regular Siberian snow storm—the second earnest atww storm we have had this year. Hon. T. B. Heed, the newly elected Attor ney General, is a Senator from Cumberland county, and proposes to retain the latter posi tion during the session. The report of the State Treasoret is regard ed by members of the Legislature as one of the very ablest ever issued from that depart ment. The committee on elections may expect to hear some curious revelations in the manner of conducting elections in the French regions of Aroostook county. The Standard hints that a movement is on foot for placing a line of propellers on the route between the Kennebec and New York. It will be remembered that this plan was con ceived by one of our most enterprising citizens more than a year ago, and its feasibility and advantage to the people of the valley of the Kennebec fully shown. The Educational Board which meets in this city on Monday next, will hold three sessions each day—forenoons in the Superintendent's office, for general consultation; and altcr noons and evenings in the hall of the House of Representatives, for discussion of educa tional matters and organizing for the next year's work in the educational field. Ail the County Supervisors are expected to be pres ent. The lady members of Warren Division S. of T., in Gardiner, with the assistance of Warren Dramatic Club, gave entertainments at Johnson Hall on Wednesday and last even ings, consisting of several beautiful dramas and sparkling farces, which were performed by the young ladies and gentlemen in a manner which showed an appreciation of the different characters. We are sorry that they were not rewarded by better houses, although the weather has not been favorable. The ainging by Miss Norton was excellent. Our citizens were startled last evening about six o’clock by the cry of fire, which aroused and set in motion the fire department. It was feared at one time that the large wooden ma chine shop of the Messrs. Sprague, at the dam, was in flames, as a bright light was seen in that direction, but it appeared on a nearer approach that only the soot in one of the chimnies of the shop was on fire. No damage was done. People almost held their breaths when it was reported that the machine shop was burning. The destruction of this building with its valuable machinery would be a ca lamity greater than the loss of the old one on the present site two years since, A lady who had taken a seat the other day inside the stage coach from Bucksport to Ellsworth, became somewhat ill on the way. The driver thinking a little fresh air might relieve her, allowed her to take a sent beside him on the outside of the coach. The fresh air, however, proved no antidote, and she re turned toller seat on the inside. Just before ar riving at Ellsworth, the driver heard a strange noise beneath the buffalo skin—a sort of stifled, distressed cry—not the noise of a full-grown person, and the driver had no recollection of taking any children on board that morning. We will simply state that during the journey another passenger was added to the number in t he coach, and that in twenty-one years, if he lives, there will be another voter in Maine— we trust a republican one. We have been shown by Jos. Burton, Esq., Register of Deeds for this county, a rare cu riosity in its way, consisting of a copy of the will of Plorentius Vassall, formerly of Lon don, now on file and recorded in the Probate office in this city. It is what is termed an ex emplified copy, and is probably a facsimile of the original, written artistically in the old English characters on eleven large sheets of parchment, and is authenticated under *he “big seal” of the “Lord Archbishop of Can terbury,” the head of the Prerogative Court, the Supreme Court of Probate in England. The will is written without a blot, mistake or erasure, and must have required a vast amount of labor and an inexhaustible fund of patience to execute it. In those days people had vast estates to bequeath to their heirs and were not at all saving of the sheepskin upon which to write their wills. The town of Vas salboro' was named for the gentleman who makes a disposal of his property in the above mentioned will The Valuation Committer.

Wasson of Surry. Smith of Hodgdon. 1 Graphlr Picture of Virginia Society. A gentleman from Bangor who has recently been spending several months in Virginia, in a letter to a gentleman in this city, gives the following as the result of his observations and reflection*: The poor people of Virginia have been caged in darkness until their eyes are dim. The planters have held the keys until their own arms have become palsied. Both of these classes are incompetent to take care of them selves or of each other, as they need to l»o taken care of. Unless Congress puts them under the guardianship of laws which the planters cannot alter, a barbarism worse than anything that ever existed in Virginia will come about, and remain until it becomes a desert of the lowest moral and physical type.” The following are the committees of the Executive Council for 1870 On Accounts—.Messrs.

Dingley. and tell the whole truth We can conceive of no other proper disposi tion of the bivalves. The permanent circulation of our Daily is constantly increasing. We have heard no fault found with its conduct, but on the con trary have received many words of commend ation. The movement is fairly inaugurated for es tablishing a “Maine General Hospital.” Smoking and chewing, as habits, are to be deplored, but those who will indulge in the weed should use only the best cigars and to baccos sold at Partridge's Drug Store under Granite Hall. Save insurance by using in lanterns that you carry into barns and outbuildings, the pure sperm oil sold at Partridge's Drug Store. Explosive fluids are risky and expensive. State Temperance Convention, The Men and Women of Maine, who are in favor of the suppression of Intemperance and of the ad vam-emenl oi the euuse of Prohibition by all such measures as experience has demonstrated to be necessary for that purpose, are invited to meet in Mass Convention, at AUBURN HALL, in the City of Auburn, On Thursday and Friday, Jan. 27 and 28, '70.

i '_ _... ftailjj Junncber |ounial Work For January. There are four-score tilings that every husbandman may find to do during tills cold, blowv, blustering, frigid, unaniiable month of .fanuary, allot which will turn to good account in his pocket and the cora lort of himself, family, and four-footed de pendents. Of course we cannot in three paragraphs enumerate more than four things on the long list. But then the do ing of these will suggest others, just as thought begets thought, and the whole will come in by a natural drift. Saw up, split, and pile away under cov er, a winter’s supply of fire-wood. Im prove the condition of that hen house; make itcosv, warm and comfortable bid dy will pay you liberally in eggs. Clean out, cover over, and chink up the pen toi store hogs. It will put on pork wonder fullv. There's half-a-dozen broken and missing slats in those cattle-racks, a woful waste of hay. Attend to that matter. Cut down and cut up into fire-wood that halt-dead old “Lombardy grub out the stump, and make a place fora better tree. The great gate don’t swing to and shut well, and the bottom hinge requires repairing. I>o that directly. When it storms, take to the tool-house, and take every farm and gar den implement in hand. Sec that they are all in order; knock off dirt, rub oft rust, and rub on a little oil. It is a good invest ment. That job done, you are mechanic enough to shave out a swingle-tree, put a handle to a hoc, mattock, or whitewash brush. Make a garden reel for yourself, and a clothes-line reel for your wife. And every long, January evening, read aloud to your family, so that all may learn, the best agricultural books and papers. You will be a happier man and better farmer for the pi active. Treatment of Milch Cows. I look on a cow as similar to a steam boiler; no matter how good they may be, unless the boiler is well supplied with water and good fuel, also well attended to, the supply of steam will be short, or it will be in proportion to the fuel and attention. So also is the cow; no matter how good she may be, if she is not well supplied, ted and cared for, her product will be shorten ed. Another very important matter with cows is that they should be protected from storms and bad weather. They should be fed and kept under shelter when the nights are wet and inclement; this more partic ularly in the early season, when the cow is fresh and in foil milk one exposure to a cold wet night, has frequently reduced the milk to one-lialf. Also, in the fall, when the nights become frosty, never let them remain out; be particular to stable them; and in the morning never turn them out on the pasture till the frost is melted oft by the sun, as nothing perhaps, dries a cow or reduces her milk more than eating grass with frost on it. To many of these requirements the generality of farmers pay no attention whatever. In the early sea son, as soon as there is any pasture what ever, the cow is turned out of the barn yard, to eat what she may find, and remain (lay and night until the winter comes; there is also nolhiDg grown or fed to eke out the scanty supply of pasturage that almost inevitably occurs at some time each j season. This is all wroug, and should be remedied by the cultivation of roots or corn. A. C. DANA, BnUtiCIHT AMO APOTHEt'.tltV. Successor to J. P Deering, No. 7 Union Block, Augusta, Maink.

Dr. Schbxce's Seaweed Toxic for the cere of Dyspep sia and all the Debilitated Conditions of the Stomach. Dr. Schkxce’s Maxdkaeb Pills for Diseases of the Liver, or to act as a gentle Purgative. All of these three medicines are often required in curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many desperate cases. The Seaweed Tooic and Mandrake Pills assist in regulating die Stomach and Liver, and help the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the blood vessels, by which means a cure is soon effected. These medicines are conscientiously offered to the public as the only eafe, certain ami reliable remedies for Pul monary Consumption, and for all those morbid conditions of the body which read to that fatal disease. Liver Com plaint and Dyspepsia are often forerunners of Consump tion, and when they manifest themselves they require the most prompt attention. The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has had a long probation before the public Its value has lieen proved by the thousands of cures it has made Uirough a peri'xl of more than Uiirty-ftve years, in all of which time its reputation has constantly increased, and the most ob. stinate skepticism can no longer doubt that it is a remedy which may be used with confidence in all cases which admit of a cure. If the patient will persereringly follow the directions which accompany each bottle, he will certainly be cured, If his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cure possi ble. Even In cases supposed to be incurable, when friends and physicians have despaired, the use of this medicine has saved the life of the patient, and restored him to per fect health. I)r. Schenck himself was cured in precisely such cir cumstances, and many others have been equally fortunate by judiciously making a tiiwly use of Dr. Schenck’s rem«*dies. Dr. Schenck does not say that all cases of Pulmonary 1 Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts, that often when patients have the most alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping chills, night sweats, and general debility, even to such a degree that they are obliged to lie in bed, and when they I are given up by their physician, they may still lie cured, i No medical treatment can create uew lungs, but when the lungs arc very badly diseased, and to some extent de stroyed, a cure may be effected by I>r. Schenck’s med Also, in Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally efficient. Dr. Schenck has photographs of a number of persons who have been nearly covered with running sores, and now all healed up. This shows its purifying properties, which must be done to heal cavities in the lungs. In the treatment of Consumption, it is of the utmost importance to give vigor and a health tone to the systun. Ilence it is necessary to strengthenthe appetite of the patient and improve the digestion. Proper nourishment is require!!, together with such mean as will make the food easily digestible. The articles most suitable for the I diet of consumptive patients are designated in Dr. j Schenck’s Almanacs, which are distributed gratuitously, i In general, the most highly nutritious articles are to be preferred} but the digestive organs must be strengthened j in order to make either foot^ or medicine serviceable. This requirement is met by the Sea Weed Tonic, and far this purpose it was designed. When tlie digestive powers are put in good order, the food haa its proper effect, the system of the patient is in vigorated, and the lungs begin to exercise their functions in a normal and healthy manner. Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure. Pulmonary Consumption is almost always complicated with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Schenck’* Man drake Pills are intended to remove obstructions from the liver and restore its healthy action. They hav* ail the efficacy which is ascribed to calomel or “blue mass,’* and are warranted not to contain a particle of any mineral poison. These pills cure the most obstinate costiveness, sick headache, piles, bilious affectious, and ail otherdisenses which arise from a torpid or obstructed co dition of the liver. One box of these pill* will prove the efficacy of the medicine. In ConsnmptioW, the Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are Invaluable auxiliary medicines. They relieve the sufferings of the patient and assist the Pulmonic Syrup l i effecting a cure. They have been found useful in ad vanced stages of Consumption, where the lungs were al most entirely destroyed, and all symptoms, according to the Judgment of physicians, indicated speedy death. The lives of patients who were actually In a dying condition have been preserved for months by the use of Schenck’s three groat remedies.
