ing Post says: We have noticed in some of our ex-
changes lately. advertisements of divorces legally
procured without trial., private consultations on
divorces" &c. Western papers give some explana-
ton of these notices. The Fort Wayne Gozette re-
marks that the aunullng of marriages has becom G
an immense business in Indiana. and asserts that
associations have been formed in the larger cities
with agencies throughout the western States, especial
ly in indiana to procure divorces for all imaginable
persons and for all Imaginable causes, for cause
whatever
The ST. Louis Dispatch thus describes the method
of procedure 1t is done in this wise. A man in
New York gets tired of his wife, and wishing di-
yorce. calls 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 a
nan a dozen sufficient causes not one of which is
true inc case referred to another of the same class
Oh lawyers, who reports. without hearing word OF
evidence in favor of the divorces the court it is
an rlght on the record. and unexpectedly confirms
the proceedings and DEGREES the divorce. copy of
the record Is forwarded to the New York agency and

correspondent of the Waynesburg pa Repu6h-
can. who gives the following account of a strange
discovery made near Waynesburg short time since
youches for its truth: Some time since as surveyor
j. l.. Mcconnell was passing down Smith Creek
about one mile from town, his attention arrested
by some characters on stone at the road side.
Upon close examination he found that the inscrip-
ton on the stone follows: Due east 2 g.
Studying while over the matter he came to the
conclusion that due east certain distance to be rep
resented by the figures g. there was something
curious. So fixing his compass on the spot, he
measured the exact distance of 2 rods, feet and
inches. Striking his compass staff in the ground he
ascertained that underneath metallic substance
OF some kind. Removing the earth for a few feet
around what was his surprise at finding iron box
and what was more surprising he found on opening
it that it was filled with silver coin of all denomna-
tions from five cent piece to dollar Proceeding
back to the stone which had first arrested his attention
on turning it over he found iIcribed on the other
side as follows: Due west24 Surprising something
equally curious at distance represented by the figures
"a in due west direction-he proceeded to measure
the distance two rods four feet six inches due west
Upon sinking the compass staff at that point he ascer
tanned that underneath was some metallic substance
Removing some earth from about the spot imagine
ms surprise at finding iron box exactly like the
other upon opening which he found to contain gold
com OF all denominations from dollar to an eagle
Hastily selecting some specimens of the contents Of
both boxes he filled the excavations and returned to
town. Specimens of the contents of both boxes can
now be seen by doubling the truthfulness of
this discovery by calling on K. W. Downey Waynes-
burg Pennsylvania in whose possessions the speci-
mems were placed for exhibition to the public ~
