Judge Mcclure took occasion on Saturday to refe
to the increasing number of applications for divorce
that came before him. He says there is hardly

matters the Judge is obliged to wade through witt
and Oftentimes proof is SO overwhelming that tf
Court is forced by sense of duty to grant deere
of divorce. The very worst of it is, too, that eth

gave out his intention to refuse the decree in any
every case where there was technical or otner pos
n ble and legal excuse.
