UNABLE TO GET A DIVORCE.

The marriage Of Mr.. Moses Tannenholx to Miss
Rachel Blumenthal. which took place st Paterson.
N J.. Juno Is. 1875. created considerable stir In
Isrseitic circles. especially among the friends Of
the bride. She was . native of Canada whore her
parents resided. and had gons TO Paterson to visit
some friends. She only slightly acquainted
with Tsnnenholz when the ceremony performed
by Justice OF the Peace James A. Morrisse. and when
the fact that tho ceremony had been performed by
Christian justice instead Of Jewish rabbi made
known rumors Of fraud in connection with tho
marriage were soon set ahoat. It was charged
by the brides friends that unlawful means
had been used to obtain her consent to the
alliance. and that Tannenholz. who had no visible
fortune, had only married to obtain possession OF
fortune his wife being the only daughter wealthy
parents When, the day after the marriage, he called
on his wife, who had gone direct from the Justices
Office to the residence OF her friends she refused to
returned to her parents home in Canada. Finding
that the laws of the Dominion would not free her
from her bond Of m.Msr0sy she returned to New
the time required by law before proceedings Tor
divorce can be begun suit was then instituted In
chancery asking for decree annulling the marriage
that Tannenholz had asked her to become betrothed
to him. and that in moment of infatuation she had
yielded reluctant consent. He had then taken her
before o justice where . ceremony was performed,
which she had regarded the ceremony OF be-
trothal usual among people OF her religious persus
sion. She had no idea that she was being married
until her husband subsequently informed her OF the
fact She then promptly declined to have anything
further to do with him. Chancellor Runyon has
filed his opinion In this case Diminishing the appli-
cation. with COSTS The ground OF denial that the
petitioner Is not resident OF the State OF New Jer-
sey. She IL not OF age. and no formal cmancpa-
tion from the guardanship Of her parents. who still

his wife, and he said he did; said he only cut her
once. and gave that she did not like him.
This closed the testimony for the prosecution.

reared in Italy. and had been about three
years in this country. In relation to
the circumstances attending the killing Of his
wife he said they quarrelled while in bed, and she
got his finger between her teeth and at the same
time drew u knife on him. He took the knife away
from her and she still held to his finger. He
then cut her the side OF the neck to make her let
go his finger and not letting go. he cut her again
under her pillow. and he believed she going to
kill him. as she had often threatened to do He
did not intend to kill her, when he what he
had done he fed. He loved his wife. he said, but
she did not love him. and always told him ne

PROTECTION OF GAME.

The monthly meeting of the New York Association
for the Protection Of Game was held last evening at

Whitehead and ]. Harson Rhoades. After the read
ing Of the minutes number Of letters were read
from different parts Of the country the subject
of game and its protection and propagation.
The main subject Of discussion was the amendment
to the game laws bearing the question Of venson
passed last winter by the Legislature. The old law
provided that venison must be killed in September.
October and November and might be sold thereafter
mp to the 1st of January. This was amended last
winter 80 rs to provide that venison might be
killed and sold in the months ,,l Of septem;
later. The fact appears to be that the best
venison does not arrive here till the Arst or middle
OF December and the effect OF the amendment would
be to practically exclude ventson from this market
