A NOVEL CASE OF DIFFICULTY. - We
are informed OF a novel case which hiss
recently transpired in Washington county
in this State. Some years ago man
and woman were married, and continued
to reside together as man and wife. Re-
Gently they discovered that the person by
whom the ceremony was performed was
not authorised by law TO tie the marriage
knot, and that their marriage was null
lay. When this discovery was made,
the woman insisted upon having the cer-
emony gone over again befure legally
constituted officer, but the husband refus-
ed: subsequently the husband having re-
Elected that the principal part Of the prop
efiy which he held had been derived from
his wife, changed his resolution and be-
came DESTROYS TO have the knot legally
tied; but at this period the woman had
altered her purposes, and therefore refus-
ed. Following up her resolution to re.
main free, she evicted the husband from
his possession of the property, and our
informant says that the last he heard OF
the case, was the application oil the hus-
band to Justice of the Peace for some
process to restore him to what he had once
supposed to be his own. Can my of the
ST. Luis lawyers find out a suitable pro-
cess for the exigency Of the disappointed
husband. st. Louis Repnb.

in her own right, recently left this city for
Liverpool with man aged about 60.
The young Lady was left by her Father
at a boarding school near this city, where
the gentleman became acquainted with
