Guriositiesof Divorce.
AssNaaKABLE CASE m MISSOURI.

"A
Inst. Louis last week divorce
was granted to Britton A. Hill,
Esq. diyorcing him from his wife,
Mary Melinda. The parties we're
married about thirty years ago,
and lived together until .1S49,
when on a joint petition, they
rere divorced by an act of the
Missouri Legislature. The wife
was allowed all the property-now
worth nearly a million of dollars
and the custody of the surviving
chiId. In 1854 the lady was mar
ned TOD. Robert Barclay, ESQ.,,
with whom she has ever since liv-
ed happily
In 1857 Mr.. Hill married again,
hat 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 a divorce,
pending which the lacy went back
to Europe, and shortly afterward
xas reported to have been drown
ed while bathing in the Bay of
Nice. Mr.. Hill employed fisher
men to drag the bay for the body,
hut it leaked cut that the lady
was not drowned, but had gone
away with a friend. Afterward
she became acquainted with King
Victor Emanuel, and was employ
ed as the grand lady of his house
hold at Rome. Several months
ago-as it is stated-she died OF
fever, and the suit for divorce was
dismissed.
The divorce of Mr.. Hill from
his first wife was decided toy the
Supreme Court to be illegal. The
matter came before the court lasl
year ON q bill fled in court by the
Iady's trustees to compel Mr.. Sam
uel Simmons to purchase a certain
Los of ground on Fourth street
opposite the court house, in &C
eordance with an agreement-Mr
Simmons having refused on tn,
ground that the legislative di
vorce had proved to have been il
legal, and the trustees could no
convey a clear title. To obyiatl
this difficulty Mr.. ELL brought tn,
suit before Judge Lindley. o.
the decree being granted Mr.. Hi
moved that the legal disabilit,
against the lady marrying agail
in less than five years be remove,
which was also granted. Unde
law of the State the children b
both marriages are made legit
mate.
Thus ends a case, for romanti
details and strange circumstances
has no parallel in the annals @
the divorce courts. 1t is hope
that all difficulties, legal and 81
cial, are now removed, and tina
there win be no further troubl
between any of the parties.

length upon the different systems Of educa-

Last " ednesday morning our commune

day, the lst inst, in this way: Mr.. Neil
Mcintyre is engaged extensively in lum-

tween the Brule and Iron rivers. Mr..
Aorrisette had carried some provisions
from this place with his boat to the camp,
and happened to be present at the time the
logs were being put into the lake from the
top of the bank. The party of workmen
were engaged in removing distractions
from the bank in front ofthe logs, and max
ing the necessary preparations SO that they
would all slide down into the water From
the waters edge up to the logs the dis
lance was about sixty feet, and when the
Jam was broken the Workmen had TO run
only ten or twelve feet to the sides in order
to escape, while Mr.. Morrisette ran the
sixty feet towards the lake, the logs over
taking him just as he gained the water
He was caught between two logs, which
were quickly removed, when it was found
that his chest and shoulders were fearfully
mangled. The unfortunate man was placed
upon his feet and stood up for a few mo-
ments, when he was carried 20 the camp,

Mr.. William SHELTON has the contract for
