A STRANGE STORY.
nss 5 5sf: S .S.S SS;.is:
Divorce.

ofsis cniiaTsn. Al then Obtains
Divorce.
Some months since IN one Of our
courts there was filed a petition for
divorce which exhibits strange freak
Of human nature. The petitioner was
married in 1852, and bis wife died in
February, 1871, leaving surviving eight
children as the fruits Of said marriage.
His mether.in.law took great interest in
her grandchildren. aud the complainant
in the divorce bill, at the time feeling
that the grandmother was nearer and
dearer to his children than any other
human being, and was bound to them by
the ties Of common affection, married
her, believing that the marriage would
better subserve the interests Of the chill
dren, and more largely promote his own
happiness than any other course then
left to him; hence, on the 10th day Of
September, 1871, marriage was duly
solemnized between the parties in Shelby
county. The parties lived together as
man and wife for two months, and
it never occurred to either Of them that
there was any improperly, legal or
moral, in such establishment Of rela-
tionship as husband and wife. The step
was suggested to both parties by a ten
der consideration for the welfare OF the
eight children. In November, 1871, it
was intimated for the first time to petit
toner that under the laws Of Tennessee
such a marriage was illegal and void
and greatly surprised at such informa-
ton petitioner sought the advice-of an
officer of the church to which be belonged,
and from those learned in the law,
and was informed that such marriage
was void, owing 20 the previous rela-
tionship of the parties. In November
the parties ceased to live together, and
agreed to apply for divorce; hence
they applied for divorce a vinculo, or
that the marriage be pronounced null
lily, and that the said parties complain
ant and defendant be declared free from
tho supposed obligation and its conse-
quences. In July, 1872, decree pro
confesso was granted by the Court an
nulling the marriage, the parties being
within the prohibited degrees of kin
bred, and that the defendant be restored
to her original name.

shooting ARRAY.

Just as we 20 to press a shooting af-
fray occurred at the corner of Main and
Monroe streets, or rather Mr.. Nagle,
drayman, who was riding along the
street, was fred at by man on the
sidewalk, the ball entering Nc Nagles
back, just to the left of the right
hip. He was placed in hack
and carried at once to the office Of DR.
Rogers, where his wound is now being
dressed. The shootist was arrested and
conveyed to the station-house.
Naigle is a drayman, who resides in
South Memphis. The shootst was Pat
Tobin, who lives at Mason's Depot, and
between whom and Naigle there has been
bad blood for some time. Tobin has
been on spree in this city for several
days. Naigle's wounds are severe, and
he is not expected to recover.
