Judge Macomber, In the circuit court
held at Kochester last week, decided a case
which is said to be the only one of Its kind
ever decided in this country. The case
was a suit brought against a notorious
woman bv the wife of a prominent citizen
to recover $10,000 damages for the alieua
tlon of her husband's affections. The
judje, in rendering the decision, said:
"in view of the decisions UHn this sub
ject, I feel perfectly at liberty to follow
mv own iuuirment in mis case as an orig
inal tpiestlor, and upon that I have not the
least doubt that this action mainiuinaoie.
It Is the failure of the husbaud to live
with his wife, and his failure to support
her adeniiatelv. which may be said to lie
the direct result or the action of this de
fendant, and there is an injury, also coupled
with the direct damage, the spproxlin oe
cause of the alienation of his affections by
this woman; and I do not see why such au
action cannot be maintained by a wuninii
as well as a similar action could be main
tained by a Irushand. I know of no prinei
pie, uinler the facts presented, that would
prevent the wife from maintaining the ac
tion. and. in isiuuch as the decisions in this
state allow me to follow my own judgment
I must tltfiiy the motion."

The following is the he id note of a de
cision of the Supreme Court in the case of
Sullivan vs. Commissioners of Highways,
114 III., Kep. p. W:, on the SU'iject of the
powers of cominissloners of highways to
make contracts.
The commissioners of highways have no
authority of law to contract an indented
ness in respect to roads and bridges, when
ti.e money to pay for the same is not in
the treasury to be expended, or has not al
ready been actually leied.
I'.ut where a tax lias been levied by
them, though the proceeds of such levy
may have been intended by the commis
sioners to be applied In a way distinct from
the making of a culvert, a party who builds
a culvert for them uuoer a contract, w ho
has no notice that the It vy was not made to
pay for the same, and where there is notl
Ing to aliord notice, of the purpose ol the
levy, may recover of a contract price a sum
equal to such levy, and no more; and the
Isct that he was compelled to accept an or
der for the sum due, If such was not the
agreement before the work was done, will
nt prevcut a tucovery upon an order not
exceeding the Ux levied for ihat year.
J'vicrr (i ci'Utnwt to pay iii'ertst. Where
commissioners of highways contract for
services and work in anticipation of taxes
already levied, and given an order for pay
ment, upon their treasurer, payable nt J
Ititnie day, they will have uo power to
agree to piiy interest on the same; ami if
such order provides for interect, that part
thereof may be treated as void, mid enly
the principal can bt recovered on buch or
der.

Flirling doTn t!io bani. ters, though
wilt and delightful way of gelling dow n
lairs, is not a popular mctho 1 of descent
except among boys of the hobbledehoy
age. wlien.therefore.Mr. Udph Ilotchkisa,
K solid citizen of Peoria., III., adopted that
style f coming down from bis room re
cently it augured that something out of
tho usual lino hud happened to him. Such
was indeed the case'. Mr. llolchkiss ex
plains as follows w hy Lo preferred the
railing to the stairs; ,
"It was last winter, during the month
of December. One evening after getting
homo from the storo I was taken with a
severe p run in my ankle. It felt at first
as if 1 had sprained it. 1 was upstairs
when llio trouble first came on and I
wanted to go down. Tho pain, however,
had increased so that I found that it was
impossible to walk down the steps, nn l so
I slid down the railing. 1 rorn that night
I bcfan to grow worse, the pain leeamo
more severe, and my ankle gradually
swelled up until it seemed ns if tho flesh
would burst. It was almost impossible lor
me ( lie in bed, and the least noise or nt
teityit to move me would cauau ino tho
greatest agony.
"After being in bed a month T could not
stay there any longer. I felt that I must
have some kind of a change, nnd so I was
moved into nn eay chair, where 1 lay for
tin montlis, s'.iflering moro than words
i::m express. Jdy trouble was rheumatism.
The doctor could do nothing for me. I
rtseil about every medicine I had ever
heard of for rheumatism, and many dif
ferent remedies recommended by my
friands and neighbors, but nothing a Horded
me any relief. A lady friend living in
Chic-ag, hearing of my allliction, wrote
me, saying ; ' Try Atldophoros. It cured
me,'
" I was very gla I to try anything. I
had tr'wd many dhTercnt scrts of medicines,
but this was new to me. 1 sent nt once
and bought a bottle nnd began using it. I
had a terrible buzzing in my he-ad at first,
but as it was said in the directions I would
bnve this if the medicine took hold of the
disease I stuck to it. The buzzing was
nothing with my sufferings. I think it
was cn a Monday evening T first began
with the Athlophuroa. IJy the following
Saturday the pain was nearly all gone, tho
swelling was very much reduced, and with
the aid of a pair of crutches I went out for
the C r-st time in three months.
' I continued taking the Alhloiihoros
nr.! il 1 h id used four bottles. My pain
a 1 1 i swelling had then all gone, and 1 lire!
no iur:hf-r iis for crutches. I have not
frit any rheumatism since. Atldophoros
is rt very valuable medicine. 1 recom
mend it whenever I have a chance, and
never want to be without some Athlopho-
r s iri ihe bouse in case 1 should ever
B"-:i!:i Ii' fio afllii led."'

re-.TCts the lo-sof three months' valuable
time, ni t to speak of all I be siui'ering and
moid::! uuguiidi he endured, be feels that
there is some hlb-'iit compensation iu t!u
