A Divorce DMENMA.-The Supreme Court
Of York county, Maine, has been in session for
the September term two weeks The Saco
Democrat gives the following account of one
of Tie divorce cases
There have been three divorces decreed du-
ring the term thus far aud in connection with
one of said DEGREES there now seems to arise
some funny questions. 1t seems that a
certain party in South Berwick, anxious to
get rid Of his spouse pressed hearing up
on his libel. and obtained decree during the
third day Of the term On the fifth day of the
term. the said spouse made her appearance
before the Court and stated that her anxious
husband and his friends persuaded her that the
case would not be called up till the second
week in the term, consequently she returned
home, although she had defense to said libel.
etc etc The Court upon these representa-
tions. ordered the decree of divorce to be
stricken from the docket. Now. the funny
part of it is that said divorced husband went
home on the day of the decree-obtained as
above stated-and forthwith proceeded to
Salmon Falls and married another lady
What bis new wife will say, or how they will
proceed when they learn that there is IL fact
no decree of divorce from the first wife, re-
mains to be seen.

PLAIN TALK.-Ex-Goveruor Stewart. of
Missouri in the State Convention said the
people of Missouri had hitherto sympathized
with the South on account of the institution Of
slavery. but the Confederate army had swept
like besom of destruction through Missouri,
and had violated institutions of ours more
sacred than Slavery or Cotton. Let them
beware said he, when the first frosts of
winter come, we shall march an army into the
very heart of Cottondom. and as they have
she'd blood upon our hearth stones, we Will no
