MARRIAGE BY AGREEMENT.

Miss Selma Cauf Id Gibbs, beautiful and
accomplished young lady. gained verdict 10
her favor before judge Vau Brunt yesterday
the question involved being her Legitimacy aud
her title to about $5OO OO0. lu 1858, when she
3. was but uiue months old she was adopted by
Mr. and Mrs. Edward NJ. Gibbs, who reared
and educated her as their own child. Untll
about year ago she did not know that she was
DOT the child of her putatlve parents; who had
kept their secret SO well that even their own
brothers and sisters were not cognlzant OF the
facts. 10 1865 Mrs. Efie Simmons died,
leaving about 500, 900 to her two sous, Peter
and William. The latter had been macy years
married, but Peter, who had become very dis
sipated, lived most of the time with his Uoth-
er. and was suppored by her, though he ab-
seuted himself much OF the time. William
Simmons took possession OF all the property
Peter making no effnrt TO obtain his share. lie
died in 1872, bequeathing certain pictures.
also left hlm Dy his mother, to Miss Gibbs,
declearing her to be his daughter. Then the
executor Of Mrs. EHe Simmons sued to de-
,ermine whether Peters share should g. to
Selma, as bis daughter, or to his brother Will
liam. Then,up the services ofthe papers upon
her, the young lady was first apprised OF her
par,ntage The case, which was strongly con-
tested by William Simmons, was for some days
on trial. Ii Was shown that Peter Simmons
became acquainted With Corneia Potter IL 1880
iu a Methodist church 10 this city, and they
became intimate and lived together. 1t was
asserted, however, on the part OF the defend
ant, that the relation was illicit, and that the
TWO were not husband and wife until 1865,
wheu formal ceremony OF marriage was per-
formed Mrs Cornelia Simmons, however.
testified that on February %, 1851 they agreed
10 be Lusband and wife in presence OF witnesses
and Peter Simmons repeatedly declared that
they were married, and in 1864 said that they
had been married for thirteen years. % the
question whether Miss Gibbs was the leglti-
mate or iegitimate CHILD of her father Judge
Van Biuut repea ed the law which he laid
down in the Brinkley case, that an agreement
of marriage is marriage, with the addition
that all presumptions are iD favor of the legl-
timacy the child under an informal marriage.
The jury stayed out little over an hour and
returned with verdict for Miss Gibbs on
every point-N. Y Snn.

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.-There resides 10
the mouutaius OF Bedford county, nearly thur
,ty miles above this city, widowed lady, now
in her seventy ninth year, who is in many re,
spects, curiosity. Reared in obscurisy, aud
with 10 educ ational advautage-being ignorant
even of the rudmeuts of Ergsh-she is pos
scssed of mind so clear aud penetrating as to
be able to express herself, in graceful language,
upon any given subject, aud has frequently
non plussed unlucky Limbs OF the law who
have encountered her. Her husband was a
soldier in. the war of 1872. and, alter MS
death, having given numerous pension agents
fair opportunity to get from the government
the little sum to which she Is entitled, aud
failing in every case, she undertook the
yindication Of her rights unaded, and soon
came out couqueror-not that she needed the
money, but beeanse it belonged to her. She
visits this city four or FIVE times year, and
notwithstanding her advanced age, her step is
as light, her eyes sight as good, and her hear
ing as acute, as they were fifty years ago, She
never forgets face, and can narrate, with ab-
solute mastery of pames and dates, the occur,
rences of her childhood. This remarkable wo..
mau, who is shopping all over the city, and
visiting among her relatives, is the mother OF
niue children, and has one hundred and two
grand children, aud thirty-eight great grand
children now living. --Lynch Neaos.

The SYNOD of Missouri

Held its yearly meeting last week, in Mexico
beginning Tuesday evening, the 18th inst, and
closing the following Saturday noon. The atten
dance was unusually large. Much business was
dispatched. Devotional exercises were frequent
and edfying
Notwithstanding the rainy, cold, disagreeable
weather, it was the most delightful meeting OF a
church court we ever attended Perhaps without
exception, the brethren who we're there will say the
same thing. Drs. Waddel, McIwaine, s. j. Baird
and Shearer, who faithfully and acceptaby repre-
sented the interests of Education, Sustentation,
Foreign Missions, Publication, and the South
Western University, could not refrain from ex-
pressing their great qualification at what they saw
and heard-the entire harmony the warm broth
ery love, the spirit OF conservation to the Master
cause, the zeal for that cause as it is involved in
the several departments of the Assembly work:
These brethren, whom we made very welcome and
who at once felt that they we're among kith and
kin, contributed largely to the pleasure and useful
ness of the meeting by their personal bearing,
their interesting addresses and their participation
in the exercises OF worship. We all hope to see
and hear them again and often.
The Synod showed itself unit in favor of hearty
cooperation with the Assembly's committees, and
has gone to work, with earnest purpose to learn
and to do its whole duty. Among the items OF
business none elected more enthusiastic interest
than the affairs of the Synod's newspaper. After
many acknowledgements of the invaluable service
which The Old School Presbyterian has been priv
ileged to render, and of its ndspensabeness steps
we're taken4 to insure its continuance and to in.
crease its usefulness of this, and other matters,
we shall have more to say next week, when the
stated Clerk will have ready for US an abstract Of
the Synod proceedings
pWe could never forgive ourselves were we to
omit to mention the kind attention of DR.. Lacy
and his committee of entertainment and the over
flowing hospitality of the citizens of MexicO.-O.

The investments of Presbytery were examined

and Rev. R. II. Reid and Col. T. @. Perrin ap
pointed to represent the interest OF the Presbytery
in that institution.
The churches were all asked to give 81, or more
to endow our publication committee with 800, sc
as to carry on the work of colportage.
DR.. Adger preached a famous sermon or
church power,' which was ordered to be printed
and read in the churches.
Messrs. Britt, Campbell and Mecklin we're re-
ceved as candidates for the ministry.
A proposition to assess the churches tor the sup
port of our candidates was voted down, but church
es were earnestly urged to make liberal contribu
tions for this purpose on lst Sabbath of November
The Executive Committee on Sabbath School:
were authorized to call Presbyterial Sabbath
School convention, at such time and place as they
may deem advisable, during the coming year.
Such churches as have not paid their assess
ments for the Evangelists salary, are required to
give reasons therefor at the next regular meeting,
or else to pay the assessment.
Churches and ministers wishing to make arrange
ments for preaching as stated supplies are required
to confer with the Executive Committee on Do.
nestle Missions.
Arrangements were made to install Rev. X. A.

bath in April, at 10 clock A. M.
