She only kissed him and told him that the lesson was a good even though it had been dearly h But James Lanning was not He brooded loss with a bitter and af length the thought came to him that he might yet draw a He wished that he had not bought the first and he thought that if he could only get back his twenty dollars he would buy no more but he could not rest under his He was deter mined to make one more and he did This time he purchased the ticket without his wifes The result was the same as He drew a Forty dollars was a sentence thai dwelt fearfully the mechanics I must draw a prize I he

correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle describes an inter view with Catharine who was the wife of Edwin who is now living on Staten gave the corres pondent the following account of the results of her litigation in regard to the payment of alimony out of her claim for a dower in the estate of Forrest Our litigation began in but it was not until 1852 that I secured a ver dict against granting me a full with a year subsequently raised to During this period he refused me any and when the verdict was obtained he appealed against withholding the alimony and contesting its payment at every point and on every legal through all the courts np to the court of It was not until ten years after the that I secured the final and unanimous opinion of the court of appeals in my It is a great satisfaction to me to recall that through all this protracted litigation there was at no stage of nor in any a single decision adverse to I was successful as well on the minor issues raised as on the general and final Then at the ehi of the twelve years of legal contest the that had been withheld was paid to you in bulk it was all finally paid but not until I had obtained judgment against sureties

question is How is yet a you The first and most natural supposition an old man s would be that the back of the had originally been forming a lake whose outlet was over the ridge above the present river channel and as the outlet was lowered by the wearing down of the the lake was drained until the valley was laid This supposition is neg by the plain fact that it would be impossible to fill the valley to the height of the ridge at the point of the Be fore the water could reach that level it would find an outlet where the natural elevation of the dam was An excellent illustration occurs a few miles above where the a flexure of the mountain cutting through the mountains within a few when it might easily have avoided the obstruction by going a few miles back who rePy Another supposition is that originally the river ran at a level corresponding with the top of the and that the present valley through which is the result of erosion while the river was slowly wearing through the hard mountain the softer earth of the surrounding country was washed away through its sinking leaving the more unyielding rocks in mountain From this point of the river is to be regarded not merely as the
