The caso Of tho alleged luuatio hoircss, Maria
Barto, is creating great excitement In Ponnsyl-
vanla. 1n 1865, o14o year after tho death Of her
husband, she WAS declared a lunntic, md sent
to the asylum. After remaining there somo
time, during which hor fortune was placed III tho
hands Of n committee, sho was releasod and won't
to live with her guardian. Two yoars ago, sho
became acquainted with Clergyman, tho Rev. L.
G. Herman, and was eventually married to him.
This proceeding ozasporatcd hor friends, who
thorcupon ontorcd a suit for divorce aud OBJ
tainod it, upon the ground that, being 7o,,
composmensis, sho WAS not capablo of contracting
valid marriage. The minister loft tho vicinity
for timo, but subsequently, managed to 500 her,
and they were married over again. Her friends
then went to work aud carried her
OF, while he was temporarily absent,
wlicreupon he brought suit to regain poasession
Of her. This suit has just resulted in her being
romanded to the asylum again. The diacon-
solata minister, therefore, after twice marrying
his wife, hasn't got her or hor fortune either,
the latter feature probably being quite aa molau-
choly to him as tho former, the fortune beinga
very large ono.
