THE LATEST FASIIIoN INSANITY.v-IThO
Paris correspondent of the Journal of Cont.
nitres thus describes the newest crochet in
the way of female adornment. Anything
more absurd and more unbecoming than the
small article which some of our lionesses
perch on the forehead, between the eyebrows
and the huge chignon worn very high on the
head, cannot be imagined. , .

about six months efterivards 'Fisher called
on him and told him Cult it was all right l that

the deeds were now of no value. Mr. Smith
stated that he told him theyeiight to be des.

would take them with him and destroli them'
in the presence of his wife, upon which he
gave them up to him. '

Here then was a paper title at 'least to Mr..
Fisher's heirs to one-half of the property.

of Mrs. 'Fisher, the plaintiff,- and,,
second, whether there was a legal

point. the Court hoid, and so instructed the
jury, that if they were satisfied from the evi

his ward, then the beneficial •ownetship was
vested in Mrs. Fisher. Upon the - second
point the Court held that if the testimony of
Mr. Smith was to be, accepted as fact, the

fraud on the part of the hashed& nate, have
