From the .111:44, York Mercury. Serving a Notice. In lowa, when an applicationla`mada to the Probate Court for, an order for the sale of real estate of a minor,, before. such order can - be made, it must be shown that notice has been served upon the minor, without regard to age. Sometimes this provision of the law, gives rise to ludicrous incidents, like the following Application having been made to the county court of County to obtaid' authority to sell certain "lands of one Jennie Carroll, a minor, resident within said county, and having• property.sub ject to the jurisdiction of the said coun ty-court," a notice in the usual form was placed in the handa of Sheriff for service upon the said Jennie, who, by, the, way, was a minor of the mature age of nine months. The Sheriff, who is famous for 'obey. ing the law and his instructions to : the letter, proceeded acrOad the a village some twenty miles from the county-town, where dwelt the yomit and pretty ~widow Carroll, and -where Jennie was to be found. Arrived at the house, he found Mrs. C., a buxom little body, all - cleanliness; pulitonesa, and smiles, told her his name, office and business, and found, also,‘silue z ly tucked away in her, crib, the young freeholder in question. " It strikes ma, Mr. S--:--," said the widow, " that a law requiring you to, serve notices on such little wee things as Jennie is a queer one, to say the least of it. It must have been made by a set of old bachelors,who, you know, are the veriest numskulls in the world."' And she laughed a clear, witching laugh, that went. straight through the wadding of S—'s coat and vest, finding a lodgement in his hitherto insensible heart. But her mirth suddenly ceased, and her little round face was suffused with blushes, as she recollected to have heard that S—was himself a bachelor and the president of a „club of these worthies who held stated meetings. 1 . That is—l mean," said she, with some confusion of manner and an effort to - regain her self-possession. "'I mean they don't seem to know much about— that is to say—babies. Poor little things l what do they know of notices and sheriffs and courts and things ? I mean the babies—and what do we won's en know about them, for that matter." " They are pretty dumb, that's a fact," said the Sheriff, with a quizzical grin, so quizzical that the little woman could hardly tell whether he meant that the babies or bachelors- or the women were the dumb ones. Probably' he referred to the babies. " However, Mrs. Oary,oll," he contin ued, " as 1 cannot alter the law, I must Ferve the paper on Jenniii, 4 aCC - Viding to my instructions." "Oh, of course !" , "I must first road this one to her, you see, and then I must give her this, which is a duly certified 'copy of the, other, you understand." Oh." "Exactly. That is what.the law says —'read the origival to the defendant, and deliver him a copy.'" ' ' " Precisely so, I anderst3nd opinion is that Jennio will not.,_,Do,you, think She. will ?" -; "Madam "—the Sheriff spoke in a very dignified and.solerno , tone; becanie he began to feel pretty awliiqrdly; in consequence of the beauty of the little widow, and the crowing and We rollick ing ofthe evidelarly Irrepresstble.iti-141e one Madam, Ido tiot purphe 'to - fir! quire whether she will understand it or not. dti not knois what may, bEr the attainments or natural pereaytions of persons of her age, not •being. qsegl to their society ; bat the Legislature prob ably know all about' them, and , frain'od the statue to suit , their eonditiOO. • Who knows.but . that they know more than we suppose 7" • • ' • All this time Jennie-had been kickin up her heels crowing and pniforining the gyrations common to larlieg - ofki?kaig.; The Sheriff said his time was procioos+ that ho was obliged. to,,surinripo the grand jury by next noon, etc.,-,and must i proceed to perform his duty with the notice. :But hoW to get at it in the pres ence of the I:inOsame rnotberlie did not :Lend -the; , baby were alone,!!.l thought he, "'I could-get' alobg enough;litt'to little semseless.thinfeliuf that Oadgla I hat t tit e babiee I!! *erg et 1;ow, rd resign retb- BY, W.
