TRIED HUSBAND TWICE, AND Took A
New ONE.-A. day or two. since decree
of divorce was granted in the equity
court divorcing young lady from the
bonds Of matrimony. This is the second
time she has been divorced from the same
husband. The first action was commenced
on the Goth Of January, 1865, and the de-
cree was made in the following May. The
bill filed alleged that she was but thirteen
years of age at the time Of the marriage
MAY 10th, 1850; that she had one child ;
that he treated her with cruelty, sc. 1t
would appear, however, that subsequently
they kissed and made up; for the petition
filed By the complainant, on which the Sc
cond decree, which was made day or two
since, sets forth without referring in any
manner to the former marriages. that the
parties were married on the 26th Of January
1861, ana Lnat tho lus',o.nj ISSS.t~i f.SA
in May last; had committed adultery, &c.
The petition in this case was filed in the
clerks office on the 30th Of August, and
no appearance being made by the respond
ent, notice was published. The case came
up at this term of the court, and at half
past 10 O'Clock a few mornings since the
decree was made. From the fact that
hardly had the ink become dry before
there was marriage license asked for and
obtained, in which the name of the lady
appeared, it is evident that she is fond OF
married life {; but having given her first
husband two trials, she concluded to try
another. The husband No. was accom-
panied to the clerks Office lit is said) by

A LONG TRAMP III VIRGINIA FAMILY.

A LONG TRAMP III 4 VIRGINIA FAMILY.
Mrs. E. Fuller reached this city on We'd
nesday with her three children-two girls
and boy-all of whom walked from Lynn,
Mass, to Philadelphia, on their way to
Norfolk, Va. The statement Of Mrs. Full
Ter is that Norfolk is her native city that
she left it with her husband about seventeen
years ago, going to Lynn, where she has
been ever since. Some time ago her bus
band died, as she says, leaving her in a
state Of restitution; and being unable to
provide for herself and children, she made
up her mind to return to her friends in
Norfolk. Being without means to pay
travelling expenses, and not able to obtain
them, she started with her children on
foot, and has walked the entire distance
having been six weeks in accomplishing it..
At places where they were denied accom-
mediation at night they slept in the woods,
making fire when the weather was cold.
Upon application being made to the Mayor
for aid to forward them part of the way on
their journey by railroad, policeman
Reeder provided them with temporary
accommodations until some funds could
be obtained. Philadelphia Ledger.

We are glad to learn that the Pennsylvania
capitalists who made an extensive pur-
chase of iron lands in Pulaski county last
spring are making elaborate preparation
for the development Of the same. The
company afe wealthy and familiar with
the iron business, aad are greatly pleased
with the prospect in Pulaski. The ore they
regard as exceedingly rich, and the supply
is ine1haustible. They intend putting up
the necessary furnaces for smelling the
ore, and we understand also intend making
steel rails. twenty-five houses for their
employees have already been built. They
expect to expend $4,000 in their prepare
tions for work. Their purchase embraces
large body of land on New river, twelve
miles from the railroad, for which they
paid $4,000. 1t is their intention to
operate on large scale, and the country
around will doubtless profit greatly by this
new enterprise .-Lwchb,rg Vuginian.

Thad. Stevens on the Situation.


WASHINGTON, November To- Thad.
Stevens is quoted as saying that eve must
take no step backward. The reconstruc-
ton of the southern States on the basis of
the military bill must be hurried up, SO
that as many as possible Of them may be
represented in the coming Presidential
nominating convention. The Republican
party would assuredly elect their candi-
date in the next Presidential contest, and
there was no need torun after or coax any
man into accepting their nomination. In
less than three years they could recover
the northern States, and with the Federal
patronage the loyal white element of the
South would always carry the negro popu-
lation with them, and thus give the party
a lease of power for the next fifty years."

IExPENSES.

II is confidently believed that while this
Institution offers high inducements, in the
way Of educational, social, moral and re-
ligious advantages, it holds out motives of
pccuniary kind, equal, if not greater than
any other. Look at the advertisements of
this and other schools, North or South, and
parents will see that they make saving by
sending to Spartanburg.
