The St Louis Dispatch thus describes
the manner in which divorces are made
easy to obtain in our State
at is done in this wise. A man in
New York gets tired of his wife, and
wishing divorce, calls on the agency
in that city, and arranges simply the
fee he is to pay. All else is left to the
agency. The case is sent to an Indiana
lawyer, who commences proceedings,
alleging in the complaint half doze n
sufficient causes, not one of which is
true; the case is referred to another of
the same class of lawyers, who reports,
without hearing word of evidence, in
favor of the divorce. The court sees it
is all right on the record, and unsus-
pectingly confirms the proce edings, and
DEGREES the divorce. A copy of the
record is forwarded to the New York
agency, and the injured husband, who
has been living at home with his unsus-
picious wife, cooliy informs her he has
procured divorce, and desires her to
find another home, and make way for
the new wife,

Prestly, recently suspended from his relations
with the United Presbyterian Church, on the
charges of cruelty to his wife and family, lnde-
cent and bIasphemous language, and maintain,
ing improper relations with females, delivered
a Short farewell address to-day to bis conSre99a-
ton, in which, while disclalmlng any complaint
against the action Of the Presbytery, who acted
upon positive testimony; while that of his
aged father, kind brother and atteetlonate
children, was only negative and necessarily, Of
no avail He defed the world to prove that
he was guilty Of indecent or vulgar language
which he abhorred above all things, lie thank;
ed God, he said, that he had not been found
guilty of adultery. The sentence OF suspen
sion did not affect his relations as apasor O
the Church, as any dissolution must be at tho
request Of bis congregation. He asked then
not to act hastily, but thong tfuly and prayer
fully. He prayed that he mis- ht be allowed tx
remain here, and live down the caiuEnny ant
reproach hcaped upon him. This was the las
time he would appear in the pulpit till the sus
pension was removed. The congregation wa
visibly affected, the Doctor having still friend

CASE OF REV. GEORGE Y. WILLIAMS. Tho
New York. Express, commenting on this case,
and its effect in shaking the faith of jurics in
circumstantial evidence, says:
''Hc is accused Of having committed an Of
fence, which must have been perpetrated by
an adroit and experienced thief. The pocket
of the complainant was cut, and in addition to
her purse, twelve daguerreotypes were taken
therefrom by the cutter. The party who
ripped open the lady's pocket must have taken
the portraits, and then left the portcmonnaie
on the scat where Mr.. Williams found it. If
it is possible to believe that the Virginia d.
vine committed the robbery, he must have
served apprenticeship to an experienced thief
and occupied his previous life, not in officiat-
ing at an Episcopal altar but in committing Of
fences similar to the one with which he has
been charged. While under the circumstances
of the case Justice Dodge was obliged to hold
Mr. Williams to answer for the crime, be can
not be convicted on the evidence before a petit
jury, :
