DIVORCE SUIT.
Scandal Concerning Citizens of EIgiu
An Injured Husband.
From the Chicago Post. I


A very scandalous divorce case has
been brought into the Superior Court
of Cook county, by stipulation of attor-
neys from Kane county. The parties to
it are James o. Newton, who prays for a
for decree of divorce from his wife,
Mary E., on the ground that she has
been guilty of criminal conduct with
one NJ. B. Sherwood, of Elgin, Kane
county, and others. Mr.. Newton mar.
ried defendant, Mary E. Crawford, in
Bucyrus, Ohio, on the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1865. They remov we'd to Elgin,
where they lived together until Au;
gust II, 1868, when Newton learned OF
the infidelity of his wife, and ceased 10
maintain the marital relation with her'
The bill of complaint was filed NoVen-
Der 70, 1868, and on the Goth OF January
last, through the machipatlons oi onoa
wood. evidently, the wife filed cross
bill. charging Newton with the 'm0st
disgracefnl conduct toward her; Dut she
| renents. and Acknowledges under oat9
that her allegations are all false, ana
trnmned M under the dictation OF oher-
wood. The facts seem toshow that MT;
Newton has been IL deeply wronged
man. The case has been duly put into
Court here, and on Monday next will
probably go by default, so far as con,
Germs Mrs. Newton, and the husband
will obtain a decree without doubt.
Mrs. Newton is of highly respecta
bic people in Bucyrus, and her case Is
really one calling for some sympathy;
for there is no telling what will be heI
end, unless cared for by her parents.

A casual peep into the Prayer books
which lie scattered about in the pews
of some of our fashionable churches re-
veals the fact that what has hitherto
been looked upon only as n means of

which have very remote connection
with religion viz: criticism, love-making,
gossip and poetry. Under the first

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A Coach Robbed in Utah of THIRTY
Thousand Dollars in Gold.

A Montana editor has arrived in Chi.
cago with ,hi5 piece Of news as TO an
achievement Of the hnights of the road,
in that far off region:
The Wells IL Fargo coach, which left

the passengers that they need not feel
disturbed, as there was no Intention to
molest them; and COo.ly asked Liouten-
ant Stafford, and also Major Cullen, Of
the Indian Bureau, Ior a chew OF tobac-
co. The highwaymUn then ordered the
driver TO threw from the coach the
treasure, which was In care OF the eX-
press company; and he threw off one
box, containing from $1,000 to $4,000 IN
gold. A peremptOry demand was made
for the remainder Of the precious freight
when second box with S2i 900 in gold,
was placed IN possession of the knights
of the road; who, thereupOn. salutcd the
passengers cOurteously, aud made oil

ighwaymen-with what result, is as

DANGER FROM THE cREvAssE.
The crevasse is becoming worse 1t is stated
that channel was through the levee to the
depth Of fifteen feet and several hundred feet
wide. The new work is washed out as fast
as it is made. The distance at this point
from river to lake is but eight or ten miles, and
it is supposed that large number of canals
and bayous will carry off water enough to pre-
vent it spreading over the width of more than
two or four miles. Several of the finest plan
tations in St Bernard parish are submerged
Reports have been received of danger to the
levee above the city. The river has only re-
ceded couple of inches from its highest point
and the levees at the several points near the
city were in prosperous condition.
