of the charges, but admitted to
number of them, such as
thrusting her into the cellar
way, hitting her with the cane. But he
claimed that was done before the first
separation and that she dismissed the
first action for divorce and agreed to
not bring up the old charges against

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Warner were
charged with conduct unbecoming
Christians. Mrs. Warner was tried. ana
the church committee condemned her:

mentally affected, but nothing has yet
been heard of any condemnation of Mr..
Warner by the church, and it is prOba-

Deed Of Separation.
A singular case of married infelicity
is that of Edward Paul and Annie Paul.
He owned farm in the town of Little
Canada. They failed to live happily
and, signing an agreement of separa-
ton, parted. She believing herself
divorced. married John Lang. Paul
heard that they were living in West ST.
Paul, caused their arrest last December
on blgamOuS charge. Lang and Anne
were taken before the police court. She
produced the agreement of separation
from Paul, which was indorsed "Di-
vorce," and claimed that ST. Paul at
torney had secured a divorce for them.
The agreement was read, and as the
woman seemed innocent, she and Lang
were discharged. Paul subsequently,
secured a divorce. The agreement IS a
peculiar document to be drawn up by a
reputable attorney. An extract there
from is given to show the ingenuity of
the lawyer.

1t is mutually agreed that. upon the sign
ing of these covenants, the parties will sepa-
rate and live apart forever as husband and
wife, and henceforth be to each other as a
new and unread book, uncut, unopened and
untouched.
This singular agreement has further
features. and was acknowledged and
sworn thereto before the attorney who
drew 1t up.
One of the divorces granted little
over year ago was to a newspaper at
tachee, but they were remarked a few
months thereafter. Another case is
where well-knOwn attorney secured
divorce from his wife OH the charge of
drunkenness.
