The Evils of Sur Divorce Laws.
NEW YORK, March 10sb.-Dr. Dix last
night delivered the fifth Of his lectures on
Woman" which bave awakened such angry
discussion. He inveighs bitterly against the
evils OF the divorce system, and especially in
Ne1 England, where, he said, divorces oc-
CURED ons 20 every fourteen marriages. The
practical result of this facility OF divorce Ia
that in the New England States alone 1000
families are broken up every year and 600
persons divorced. While the laws protecting
marriage have been thus gradually weakened,
and facilities fer divorce extended, crimes
against morality have been steadily increas-
ing. In Massachusetts,, IN ten yesra, di.
vorces have increased two and one half times
while marriages have increased hardly four
psr cent.
