a Divorce Case without a Par
allel.

EFrom the st. Louis Democrat, Feb. %.
In Judge Lindley's Court yesterday a
decree was granted to Britton A Hill
Esq, divorcing him from his wife Malin
da The parties were married about
thirty years ago, and lived together until
1849 when, on joint petition, they were
divorced by an act of the Missouri Leg
islature The wife was allowed all the
property-now worth nearly s1,000,000
and the custody of the surviving child
In 1854 he lady was married to ID. Rob
ert Barclay, Esq, with whom she has
ever since lived happily.
In 1857 Mr.. Hill married again, but
his last union was not more fortunate
than the first. Several years ago the
second Mrs Hill went to Europe, and
remained so long that her husband went
after her. When she returned to this
country he applied for divorce, pending
which the lady went back TO Europe,
and shortly afterward was reported to
have been drowned while bathing in the
Bay of Nice. Mr.. Hill employed f.h
ermen to drag the bay for the body, bui
it leaked ont that the lady was not
drowned, but had gone away with a
friend. Afterward she became acquaint
ed with King Victor Emanuel, and was
employed as the grand lady OF his house
hold Several mouths ago-so it is sta
tedAshe died of fever, aud the suit for
divorce was dismissed
The divorce of Mr. Hill from his first
wife was decided by the Supreme Couri
to be illegal The matter came. before
the court last year on bill fled in court
by the lady's trustees to compel Mr.
Samuel Simmons to purchase a certain
lot of ground on Fourth street, opposite
the court house, in accordance with the
agreement-Mr. Simmons having refused
on the ground that the legislative di
vorce having been Illegal, the trustees
could not convey clear title. To OBJ
viate this difficulty Mr. Hill brought the
suit before Judge Lindley. On the de
cree being granted MIR. Hill moved that
the legal disability against the lady mar
rying again in less than Eve years be re-
moved, which was granted. Under the
law of the State the children by both
marriages are made Legitimate.

How Washington Looked in
HTS

The following sketch of Gen. Wash
ington's personal appearance is taken
from letter written in New York in
1873, and published in the Kentish Ga
zette, an English paper
Gen. Washington is now in the forty
seventh year of his age; he is tall, well
made man, rather large boned, and has a
tolerably genteel address; his features
are manly and bold; his eyes of blush
cast, and very lively; his hair of deep
brown his face rather long, and marked
with the small pox; his completion sun
burnt and without much color; and his
sensible, composed. and
thoughtful. There is a remarkable air
of dignity about him, with striking
degree of gracefulness he has an excel
lent understanding, without much quick
ness is strictly just, vigilant, and gen
erous; an afectionate husband, a faithful
friend, father to the deserving soldier.
q gentleman in bis manners in temper
rather reserved a total stranger to reli
gious preiudices, which have SO often
excited Christians of one denomination
10 cut the throats of those of another
in his morals, irreproaehable he was
never known to exceed the bounds of the
most rigid temperance. In word, all
his friends and aequaintances allow that
10 one man ever united in his own per-
ION a more perfect alliance of the virtues

General
