CUTTING or A CLERGyMAH.--An interesting
case was lately tried ut PIttsburg, Pennsyl-
vania, which has created a great excitement
particu larry with monied fathers having
handsome daughters, aud with daughters
under age, who have cruel-ciuel fathers
who cross them in their own road TO love
ind mn,rmony. Il seems that n respecta-
bio old gentleman of Kitlaning, Armstrong
county, had "onc fair daughter" lie also
had IN his employ a clerk, who like all clerks
possessed susceptible heart. He loved
the oil mans daughter, aud the sequel pro-
we'd that she loved him. His love ripened
into n flaming passion, and he could stand
il no longer, 80 he asked the hand of the la
dy, but the parents refused, on account of
her tender age. lie proposed an elopement
she quickly assented. The night was agreed
upon a skiif was prepared, and the hap
ny couple left their homes for Pitisburg,
In SIX hours they arrived, aud took lodgings
nj Sabl's tavern. They made known their
purpose and of course the inmates of the
house volunteered TO see them through -

brought SUIT against the tho Buv. gentleman
under thu statute OF 1920, which imposes a
tiue of fifty dollars upon every officer or
preacher who marries a person under age,
without Publication. The defendant admit
ted that he was a clergyman, that he mar
ried the girl, that she was under age, and
that the law above referred To, was in full
force. The defence was that the marriage
was published, because 1t was performed in
public house, aud in public style. Judge
Hepburn charged ia favor of the plaintiff,
and said the law was a ludielous one. His
honor further very gravely Informed the ju-
