At the Episcopal church in Frankfort,
Ky, on Thursday evening last, was per-
formed novel wedding ceremony, joining
together in the holy bonds Mr.. Campbell
Casey and Miss Maggie Mckee. Both are
deaf mutes, and the ceremony was per-
formed in the sign language used by the
deaf and dumb, by the Rev. Mr.. Eddy, of
the Kentucky institution for deaf mutes.
The ceremony was both interesting and i'm
pressiye. The minister read the service
the same as in ordinary cases, with the ex-
ception that signs were substituted for
spoken words. The silent participants re-
peated after him in tho same way. Thus,
without word being heard, The happy
couple left the altar man and wife.

more than reversed. They who hold the

Some time ago Pastor Simmons, OF
010CIiDucus Ne l., WdS CdlltU 10 ACCOUNT DY
his church for making love to young
lady of his church and writing ridiculous
love letters to her. This might not have
been severely open TO criticism but for the
fact that he is already married to another
lady. He repented and said he was sorry
and would write such love letters no more.
Thereupon his church agreed to continue
him as pastor. Now the Hudson River
Baptist association North, demands that
the church shall remove Pastor Simmons.
The church refuses to do it, but says that
since he has repented of his irregularlty
he is as good man as ever he was, and
just as fit for pastor as any other man is
likely to be. The association says that if
the church SO insists it may have its way,
but it shall be excluded from fellowship.
So the Greenbush church goes ecclesiasti
cally out into the cold and takes its be-
loved pastor with it.

While the scheme has not actually been

MRS. SCOVILLE'S MENTAL STATE.

Continuance OF the Inquiry Into Her Con-
ditiOn.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2-In the trial of Mrs.
Scoville for alleged insanity to-day after
the reading of a number Of letters from
Scoville to his wife threatening to have her
put in an insane asylum unless she quit
running around the country, Mrs. Scoville
again took the stand. There was little in
her testimony but a rehearsal of the old
story of domestic infelicity in
her family. She denied she
had been intimate with Earle,
or Fitzgerald OR George Francis Train,
though the latter wrote her about a peck
measure full of letters. She denied that
she believed herself growing younger or
had any matrimonial intentions. She
found and hid three revolvers belonging to
her husband for fear he might want to use
them on her. Scoville and Guiteau were
not c%ongenirl. and never could live to-
gether. She thought her father a little
cracked and her brother Charles insane.
The cross examination developed nothing
of interest.
