A Terrible Wife.

The bill Of complaint in the divorce
case Of Rev. Everett l.. Rexford has been
filed. 1t is q most wocful tale Of domes-
tic happiness blighted, and must create
profound sensation. The parties were
married in 1873, and lived in Akron,
Ohio, where the lady was employed in
teaching, while her husband her pastoral
charge Of the Unirersalist Church and
society III that town The gist Of the al
legations against Mrs. Rcxford is that
she is insancly jealous, violent, profane
and obscene. lii specially charged that
she 'habitually G-dd-n her husband"
accuses him OF lccherous loDgiugs for
every woman with whom he is on 0rdina-
ry friendly terms, and employs all posi-
bic devlish art to render his home q
hell and his life punishment. The bill
sets forth that this conduct on the part Of
Mrs. Rexford began to develop itself at
Akron in 1879, less than year after
marriage, and that it has continually be-
come more and more violent until the
present time. The complaint cites many
specific instances of the wifc's cruelty.
On one occasion her anger fell upon Mrs.
Mary Livermorc, whc came 10 Akron 20
lecture, and it was only by the great cx-
eItions that public scandal was prcven-
ted The unhappy pastor alleges that he
has often been obliged to abandon re-
ligiou. service, lecture engagements, and
the like, in order to keep his wife within
the limits idecency; that she charges him
With licen.iou, conduct upon the ladies
of his congregation Unfortunately ac.
cuses him Of the most shameless dchauch-
cry, and otherwise exercises her iicndish
feminine ingenuity in the way Of tortur-
ing him. Mr. Rexford is pastor of the
Church Of Our Father, fashionable and
wealthy society Of this city. The business
men in his congregation were consulted
before his last steps were taken, and,
after learning the sad and distressing
story, they unanimously c0unsclcd their
pastor to 90 ahead with the divorce pro-
ceedings. The wiFe's solicitors declare
that the case shall be fought to the last
grasp, but no answer to the bill Of COM
plant has yet been filed

He Cor RATs.-A good story is told
about Purcell when here ut the Metro
politan hotel years ago. 1t was oyerrun
with rodents, and Purcell made cou.
tract with very gentlemanly. looking
hunter to clear out the ycrmin. He
went to work, and after few hours came
up and claimed to have seven hundred
and fifty of them in his bag. Purcell
refused to pay, and said that he wouldn't
pay for rat over two hundred. The
hunter offered TO turn them out and let
Purcell count them, but this was refused,
and the man went away with the rats
and without his money. The next day
about dinner time, when thu great dining
room was filled with guests, the hunter
and his bag appeared, and on EayE.oat
being again refused him, he cut the
strings of the bag, and saying, "Well,
then, here's your rats; ] don't want to
rob you." dumped about million Of the
monsters in the room. My! but what
excitement there was to be sure! women
tainted and shrieked aud men fed for
their livee. There were rats everywhere,
and many dinner was spoiled for the
day. The hunter disappeared in the
confusion, and has never been seen since.

The Fair.

The eighth annual fair of the Peninsu-
lar Agricultural and Pathological Associ-
alton will open at Middletown on Tues
day, September Goth. Bear the date in
mind and get your exhibits ready. We
are going to have big fair this year, you
can depend on that, but we must have the
help of the farmer, and his wife, and his
daughter, to make it the success the man
ayers Of our association is saiming at. They
are doing their part. They have carefully
prepared catalogue offering very liberal
premiums for exhibits in all departments,
and they cordially invite all people of the
Peninsula to compete for them. The
farmer is solicited to bring his fine stock
and the products of his land, and the
ladies (bless their hearts we could never
have successful fair without them) are
especially invited to come with their pre-
serves, and jellies, and pies, and cakes, as
well as with the beautiful things they
have fashioned with their fair fingers.
Let them fill the ladies' building so
full that the managers may see the ne
cessity Of doubling its size for another
year. They (the ladies) will be taken
care OF. The premiums in their depart
ment are liberal, and they who come and
exhibit shall have good time, if the sec
retary has to appoint himself committee
ofone to see lit. As for the trials ofspeed,
the premiunsarea rs high as has been offer
ed heretofore, and the entries will doubt
less be such as to insure exciting trotting
contests each day. If you have not re-
ceived the association's annual premium
list for the coming fair, send your name to
the secretary on postal card and get one.

He was resident of AIiddletown for num-
ber of years. and had many warm friends in

not bind up the wounded hearts of friends
who mourn his loss. To say he was living
