A Lady Student At Law.—Mrs. Emma R. Coe was registered in the district court on Friday, and will enter upon the study of law with W. S. Pierce, Esq. This is what we want, female lawyers, for there are many delicate circumstances which women can only confide to their own sex, and, besides, the presence of ladies may civilize the bar, and lead lawyers to deal tenderly with witnesses on cross examination. So, success to Coe & Co. We promise her one of her first briefs. Mrs. Coe is, we understand, the sister-in-law of Hon. James Wadsworth, of this city.—[Buffalo Republic.
