endeavoring to teach her the see-saw trick,

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Testing the Power of an Ecclesiastfc to
Annul Christian Marriage.


Annul q Christian Marriage.
MONTREAL, Feb. 2S.-Last December Eliza
beth Globensky, daughter of rich property
owner, was married to her cousin, Daniel
W ilson, by Rev. DR.. Doudet, Presbytert
ian preacher. The parties were Catholics,
but of full age, and the registrar issued
them license: A Catholic priest refused
TO marry them, as the parents of
the lady, who is an heiress, objected to the
OF Montreal, was appealed to by the mother
Of the bride to declare the maria ge null
and void, which his lordship did, and the
Archbishop of Quebec confirmed the Bish-
ops action. The case has occupied the at
tention of the Superior Court here
for some days. Counsel for the mother
laid down as an indisputable propo-
s1t1on, that as the parties had
not abandoned their religion, they were
subject to laws to which the State had ex-
tended, as protection, its sanction. Coun-
sci for the husband maintained that while
England had conceded religious liberty to
the Rornan Catholics of Canada, it could not
be Inferred therefrom that it had Invested
the Protestant Church of her right to cele-
brate the marriages of all Christians; also
on which the Bishops had based their de-
cisions, were never promulgated iu Canada.
Moreover the judgment rendered by the
Priyy Council in London in the celebrated
Guibord case clearly showed the absolute
nullity of ecclesiastical DEGREES of that
kind. The case was taken under considera-
tion by the court, and the Judgment Is
eagerly looked for to settle the point that
has been raised for the first time.

TORN FROM THE ALTAR.
Excitement and Indignation at Pennsyl-
vania Revival Meeting.


NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A special from
Reading, Pa. says: Revival meetings in the
village of Temple, six miles from here held
by Rev. Ulysses Grant Click, have attract
ed very large crowds Tuesday night there
was a scene Of extraordinary excitement.
Lena Myers, a progressing brunette, aged
seventeen, was at the altar among many
other penitants. Her relatives not wishing
her to becomes member Of the Evangel-
ical Association, rushed through the
crowded congregation up to where the
young lady was heeling, and endeavor-
ed to take her away. They
were opposed by the singing
and praying members of the congregation
who forced the intruders back. The lady's
sister took hold of the praying, weeping
girl, and attempted to pull her away, but
the disturbers were pushed back with con-
siderable force, and their efforts to pull her
out proved unavailing. There was intense
excitement among the congregation, some
OF whom threatened vengeance IL the girl
was not allowed to seek religion in her own
way. The constable of the village was ap-
pealed to, but he positively declined to in
terfere. Order was finally restored. Thus
Tar thirty-two penitants have joined the
Evangelists. People attend for miles
around, and one woman, aged eighty years,
walks three miles every evening to partici-
pate in the exercises. Miss Myers was
among the happiest of the penitants last
night, and says she will yet gather all her
relatives into the fold.
