MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1865.
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

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

Nothing less thau,the appearance of a

I believe the Sheriff never finished

A CAPITAL BATH.--All - open window
with the direct , rays of the sun coming
ic,will be good for the little one. On a
hot summer day, to lay it down near the
window, quite midi., and let it lie for
some minutes where the rays of the 81112
may fall upbb will give it new
life. There is vital relation between
sunshine and a vigorous: human being.
Seclnsiori froM sunshine is one of the
greatest misfOrtunes of civilized life.
The same cause which makes potatoe
vises White and sickly when grown in
dark cellars, operates to produce the
pale sickly girls: that are:reared in dur
parlo_fs, Expose either, to .the direct
rays, of the sun ; and they .begin to show
color,- health tted.katrength. When . in
L t endon, some years ago, I visited an es
tablishment which had acquired a wide
reputation for,the cure of these : diseases
in which prostration and nervous de-
rangement_were prominent symptoms
soon found .the secret of, success, in the
use 4 of sunshine. The, slats roof had

TIT FOR TAT.—Wendell Philips was
riding in a railroad car, when he was
addressed by ti man of such rotundity
that he seemed to carry everything be
fore him. The man, asked Mr. Philips
what was the object of his life.
"To benefit the negro," was the
bland reply.
"Then why don't.you go down South
to do it t" •
"That is worth thinking of. I see a
white cravat , ,around your neck ; pray
what is the object of your life V'
" To save souls from hell."
" May I ask yon whether you propose
