Cincinnati Enquirer : A novel di vorce suit has just boon lorinlmited in llio Owen county , Imlitina , clrcuitcourt. The parties to the suit wore John W. Mcdnris , who bad lived happily ns hus band iuul wife for so von years , with not u cloud to mar tlioir domestic felicity. About two months ago n third party , mulled Elijah Hlnrratt , of Ulay county , inndo IHH ( lobtit in the neighborhood of the Modaris household. lie met Mrs. Medarisand it was a case of love at first sitrht. A tioldnoss sprung up be tween the husband und wife. The re sult was a suit fop divorce by mutual agreement , which is best related as fol lows : "The parties to this suit agree that they will separate by agreement , and that each shall testify in behalf of the other.1' With this understanding they went into open court and testilicd in the case. The judge granled n decree of divorcement , and within ilfteen min utes the newly divorced lady , accompa nied by KlijahStarrott , nri'sentud them selves before the now astonished judge nnd demanded that ho say the marriage ceremony for them. Within fifteen minutes , and . by the same judge , Mrs. Medaris was the wife of Mr. Starrott. The lute husband witnessed the mar- riiigo ceremony. in the United States. Atlantic Monthly : In the earliest > eriod , when population was small , scattered and agricultural , when so ciety was simple , frugal and consorva- ive , respect for law and conformity to civil regulations were almost universal. Moreover , as settlers of the same race ind faith usually dwelt together , there was unanimity of sentiment in the pro tection of the common interest and the maintenance of social order. Hence , ho statutory forms for the celebration ) f marriage worn genorrlly observed. Though not all essential , the impnrtlnl- .ty with winch they were enforced spread abroad the salutary impression that they were equally indispensable to const ) Into matrimony. Now , this is a great , n rapidly grow ing nation. There exists the widest diversity of race , religion and senti ments. Population is congregating in cities. Labor , forsaking the Holds , is crowding into factories and tenements. In the sliops , in the factories , in nearly every occupation , at great odds anil under peculiar temptations , women compote with men in the sellish , exact ing struggle for w-cfermentt , for daily bread. Industrial struggle and discontent and social evils are rife in the community. In view of those facts , are wo fortifying our social institutions , and strengthening" the foundations of social order ? And the family the unit and the source of so ciety are we guarding its dignity and confirming its approaches by the sancti ties of religion and the safeguards of luw ? Nay , our courts are forsaking.not protecting , are tearing down , not build ing up , "the very basis of the whole fabric of civilized society. " For the knowledge is rapidly spreading from the highest courts in this country that in forming the marriage relation there is no need of magistrate or minister , or of any formality whatever. "J.t is sin gular. " said Chief Justice Gilchmt , of Now Hampshire , "that the most impor tant of all human contracts , on which the rights and duties of the whole com munity depends , requires loss formality for its validity than a conveyance of an acre of land , a policy of insurance , or the agreements which the statute of frauds requires should bo in writing. " What wonder , then , that the disregard of the "toglslntivo recommendation and advice" is constantly increasing , and the evils of clandestine marriages and secret unions , by destroying the in tegrity of the family , is sapping the foundations of society ! Can the 'courts deny an easy termiuation to. the rela tion to which they permit so easy an entrance. "Tho contract of marriage is thomost important of nil human transactions , " yet , the form and circumstances of its execution buing loft to the will and ca price of the parties , its oxlstcno may bo involved in the utmost uncertainty and obscurity , " "Whether the relation of husband and wife lawfully exist never should bo loft uncertain. " Thc-so nro tlio words of Chancellor Kent ; and yet it is u corrollary of the doctrine which ho introduced that the existence of this contract , when judicially called in ques tion , may bo established merely by evi dence of the. subsequent conduct of the parties nnd of their reputation in the community. But it may bo said , that in faetficcreoy and uncertainty are rare in forming tlio marriage rotation , because cuatom and public sentiment are , as a general rule , able to seeuro the observance of civil or religious forms , Married , nnd laxikod Out. Now Brunswick special to the New York World ; The story of Dolly Wil liams , or , more properly speaking , that of Mrs. Peter V. Bergen , who has been a prisoner in her mother's house for three weeks , created a sensation here among the members of the First Baptist church , of which she has been a mem ber for Hovorul years. Three years ago Dolly Williams graduated from the Ili'gl ) . school. Shu desired to k op up tlio acquaintance of some young men who were from the humbler walk" of life , but her mother said she 'must look higher. Dolly , who is quite attrac tive , and just twenty-two , quiet ly made up her mind to choose for herself , and her choice vas Peter V. Morgan , of No. 20 Leo avenue , n respectables young shoemaker. Lu t summer Mrs. Williams learned of the intimacy existing between Dolly and Barren , mil her explicit prohibition only made the girl moro fixed in her doturminat.io\ ! \ ) in September Miss Dolly-Williams became Mrs Peter V Borgon. The wedding was solemnized by Rex * . Mr. Potter , of the village of Washington , unknown to'tho mothqr. 1 M/H. Williams did not .Kjarn tha ; Dolly was married until three tracks ng'o , when she mndolho bridoa prisoner it her Jioino , refusing to allow her to eave the upper part of the house , where she was con lined , und denying1 ad nil t- : anco to the husband , who several times lemanded to see his wife On one of Ills visits Bergen attracted hlswlfe's at tention and called out to her to jump ; rom the window of the room whore she was confined , and ho would catch her , [ nil Mrs. Williams prevented any such rash attempt to escape. Yesterday mu tual friends were secretly at work cn- doavorlng to reunite tHoseparated pair. Mrs. Williams remains oburato and will not allow her daughter to Icavo the liouso , Bergen has boon advised to take legal measures to gain possession of his wife , and it is probable that he will dose so , now that the story is known. He is well able to support his wife and both nro of legal ago. Two Wives With Hut n Singles Ijiml. St. AlbntiB ( Vt. ) special to the Now York World : Early last winter a Mctho- llst clergyman went to the town of Georgia , olght miles from hero , nnd started a revival. Among the members of his flock was Miss Emily K. Post , l.hlrty-ono years of age , and before long -he minister applied to the town clerk for a marriage license. The document was issued , permitting the marringo ot Rev. Benjamin A. Hill , of Milton , Vt. , and Miss Post , and the ceremony was performed with great pomp by Uov. A. W. Ford. One of those in lown who did not suc cumb to the Uov. Mr. Hill's preaching was curious to know something about Ihn minister , and wrote to Seattle , W. T. , whore Hill had formerly preached , inking about him. The reply came .hat Hill had a wife and live cnildron .11 Seattle. Tills led to a further in vestigation , nnd now State-Attorney Hullinan has proofs that Hill was mar ried to Frances J. Fewings in 1877. No Hvorce proceedings have over been icld , so the reverend gentleman was arrested and held in 81,000 for bitrnmy. As ho could not give bail ho is now in [ ail. Hill says that his side of the case nisn't boon heard. Ho at first claimed , hat ho had been divorced , but now leclines to say that or anything else about the case. Dissolved By Mutual Agreement. Bonhnm , Tex. , special to the Globe Democrat : A novel case of transferred affections is reported from the village of Ladonia , fifteen miles south of this ) lace. The persons concerned are W. j. Kclloy nnd his wife , Nannie A. Kol- ey. It appears that Mrs. Kelley con ceived a love for anotho'r muni nnd , ihough finding no fault wHh her hus- jund , concluded that _ she could not ongor live happily with him. She in- 'ormed ' him of this fact , frankly coufess- ng her love for the other man' , and the lusband and wife conjointly prepared the following nllidavit : State of Texas , Pannln County. Know all men by these presents , that this covenant and agreement made and entered into on this day by and between W. I , . ICelley ana his wife , Nnnnie A. Kelley , witncsseth tnut we were married in tlio Indian nation on the 23d lay of February. 1837 , und that wo have ived happily together ns man and wife up to , lils day. It is mutualy agreed by us that the bonds of matrimony heretofore existing ire dissolved for the following reasons , to- wit : I , Nnnnie A. ICelley , have arrived at .ho conclusion that my alTectlons arc no ongcr concentrated or centered upon my said husband , W. L. ICelley. Therefore , owing to the transfer of my love and affec tion to and upon another person , I realize the Tact that a future married life v.lth W. L. iCcllcy could not bring happiness to either mrty ; and I , W. L. Kclloy , husband of oaid Nannie Kelley , do by these presents nc- rtnowledgo that Irom the date of onr marriage X ) the present time my wife has been a good , true and virtuous wife , and my only reason for agreeing to this liual separation is tlio declaration she made to me that her affec tions were bestowed upon another man , and that she could not in the future love , honor and obey me.

Atlanta ( Gn. ) Special to the New York World : There reached the city Wednesday n full-blooded Cherokee In dian , on a bridal tour with his white wife , the daughter of one of the best families of the state. His name is J. S. Lnmar , and his home is in Vinita , I. T. Lamar is a bright , intelligent Indian youth , and attracted the attention of Ihc Methodist authorities , who caused him to enter as-a student in Emery college - logo , in this ulato , of which Rev. Dr. Atticus G. Ilaygood is president. The college has for pupils the sons of nil the leading Methodists in the state , and , being regarded ns a sort of Mecca , is visited by the Methodists generally. Among those who visited the college was Mr. Thomas Sims , of Morgan county , and his daughter , Miss Emmie. While the father was interested in the course of study and kindred matters , the young lady's eyes fell upon the In dian student. When she went away she carried his imago with her , and ho , in turn , could not banish the thought of the young girl from his mind. A corre spondence sprang up , which was consid ered by the lady's family merely ns a passing incident. Tlio father was soon astonished to receive from the Indian : i declaration of his love for his daughter. The young ladynlso hogged for her cop per-colored lover , and finally others joined in to plead for the young Indian. At lu'st , Wednortdny was anpointod as the day for the wedding. Rev. W. E.

The marriage took place , however , and the bridal couple , f > o far as Harrig can remember , retired. Koxt morning the fjroo'n awolfo to find himself alone , The wife of one night had deserted him. Since ( hun they liavo never lived to gether. Both parties want the divorce , but took no evidence , and the case was dismissed by Judge Hdwards in February , on the ground that a divorce would not bo grantcu fifiuply because both parties were wil ling , Since then the plaintiff took evi dence , but tbib morning the court again dismissed the action , on the ground that it 54 agaliibt public i olicy to grant u di vorce on the evidence of ono of the partiea , ' Harris alleges that the woman prom ised tofeivo uim $5,000 on tlio wedding day , but did not give him u cent.
