ROMANCE AND DIVORCE. THE PROCCRINO or A DIVORCE FROM A INVALID WIFE A CKLeJtXATEI SCHOLAR IS THB PETITIONkR A strange marriage. The Loulavllle Commercial gives the following 9 an authentic history: There was a time when Indian was notorious as the Ute where divorce wm made easy to the dissatisfied husband or wife. Residents of every state In the Union have enjoyed the peculiar privilege which the lax Uwi of Indiana for many year af forded- Happily these laws have since been wisely modified, and a legal separation of man and wife can be obtained quite as anily in nuoy otber täte. Now Floyd and Clark counties are a sort of Gretna Green lor impetuous Kentucky lovers, and the hearts of parsons, majiljtrates and landlords are made happy with the frequent demands made upon them by the eloping swain of a e'ster state. The senatorial contest in Wisconsin, between Matr. Carpenter and Dr. O. W. Wigt. has brought into recollection a romantic incident in connection with the lile of Dr. Wight, which may prove Interesting to our readers: In the fall of 1805 Dr. Orlando W. WLjht came to New Albany, accompanied by his invalid wife and a lady named Miss Caroline Ii. Chamberlain, the latter represented to be the companion cl Mr. Wight. It was claimed that it was the intention of the party to go to Memphis to get the benefit of a more genial climate, but the unsettle! condition cf atXtirs in that ction at the time" bad prevented that part ot the plan being carried out and a residence waa taken in New

Albany. Dr. Wicht had the reputation of being a literary man ol sume distinction a man who had TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY IJf ECKOPE, and rxBessicc rare talents' and a fund of humor, was soon admitted into the best society. Iiis remarkable store of knowledge and the polish ol foreign travel and a long acquaintance with men of the highest oil tare, gave him the open sesame to the best society, and be was leted and courted by the ton. ' Ilia travels in Kurope bad been at the expense oi his wife's fortune, it was said, as he was without fortune at the time of bis marriage, lie had translated the works of the eminent French author, Cousin, and bad edited the books of Sir Wil ltam Hamilton, lie bad written many brilliant articles for the North American Review and the New Englander, and was the translator besides of many of the best French authors. Mrs. Wight was a beau tiful woman, but, unhappily, was subject at times to fits of epilepsy, which had im paired her intellect to some extent. She rarely ever received company, and Miss Chamberlain usually entertained visitors and made excuses for Mrs. Wight. The summer of 1666 was spent by Dr. Wight and the ladiea on Lake Pepin, Minnesota. In the fall they returned to New Albany. At the fall term of the Floyd Circuit CJourt, ' at New Albany, Dr. Wight made APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE, . on the pleaot his wife's disease, which, he alleged, rendered her mentally and physically unfit to be his wife. The case was heard by Judge Bicknell, and it was found that there existed not a shadow of eround for divorce. One ct the strangest featui es ox the proceeding was that a paper was presented purporting to come from Mrs. Wight, in which she consented to the proposed separation. Miss Chamberlin appeared as an important witness on behalf of the nlalntiff Jude Bicknell refused to rrant the divorce. and administered a severe reprimand to the applicant. He had married her in the youthful bloom of maidenhood, when she pos sessed wealth and all the accomplishments which culture and refinement could bestow. Now that she was stricken with disease,it was against the spirit of humanity and of public policy inai sue should De cast adrift upon tne world without the protection which Husband can only acord. Nothing more was heard of the affair until the spring of 1867, when the people of "New Albany were startled with the announcement that Dr. Wight had secured a divorce in the Hunt ington Circuit Court, the same having been obtained on ex parte testimony, Miss Cham berlain being the chief witness. On Mon day, April 8, 1867, TUR WHOLE SECRET, of the affair became patent to every one Dr. Wight obtained a license from the clerk of Floyd county to marry Miss Chamber lain. The marriage took place that alter noon. Rev. T. G. Carver, then rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, officiating. It was a me it remarkable fact that the deposed wife stood up with the bride and groom, and congratulated them at the close of the ceremony. Thus under the sanctity of a religions service the mockery of a marriage was performed, and the poor, deposed wile played a part in the sad drama. The people of New Albany were Justly indignant at the mockery, and Dr. Wight and his robust bilde, and the divorced invalid left the city to seek a home elsewhere. Dr. Wight finally settled in Oconomonr wta -

where the party lived about two years, when Hiss Chamberlain died. We understand that Mrs. Wight is now in an asylum in the East. MARK TWAIN'S BOYHOOD HOME. THK MISHOURI HOME OF LITTLE 8A1IMT CLEMENS HOW IT LOOKS TO-DAY. A Hannibal (Mo.) letter to the Terre Haute Journal tells of the early home of a now celebrated author: On Third street, a short distance from a cross-street it is Bird street, Rock street or Collier street, no one seems to be certain which was the correct name stands th building in which little Sammy Clemens lived 20 years ago. It is a square two story frame house, of the plainest possible architecture. The half decayed weather boarding is deeply streaked with age, and the roof Is 'green with moss. It has a stone foundation, ; large brick chimney outside the building, and fronts eastward, being faced by four sprawling locust trees. Otherwise there is not a single distinguishing mark. It has no front yard, and the fences in the immediate vicinity are ancient and frail. The upper part of the house is given to old boxes and the spiders, while the lower floor is used as a cabinet-shop by some de?ecrator of regard for "button-bursting and side-splitting genius. "Many of the people of the town remember the boy, but with different opinions. -One old lady, Mrs. Martin, says he uMd to come up and play with her girls, ad that he weren't such an awful smart fellow tin he got away, and then folks began to see lots in him." Auother person, however, of the mascaiine persuasion, says he "knew the boy well, and that he waa smart as a steel-trap." A third

STATE NEWS.

REFLEX OF THE INDIANA PRESS. ALLEN COUNTY. There are 371 cases entered for the next term of the Circuit Court. On Wednesday evening occurred in Fort Wayne the death of Col. Thomas W. Swlnney, an enterprising tod wealthy citizen whose residence dates oacx to me early days of our history when Fort Wayne was cut an Indian village. The Fort Wayne Sentinel thus refers to the commencementof the Brundage case in the Criminal Court: It will be remem bered. Brundage, a farmer living about two miles northwest oi the city, is charged with being the cause of the death of one McDonald, a neighbor. The two engaged in a quarrel last August, In front of Brundage' bouse, in which it is alleged McDonald was knocked down, kicked and received a fracture of the leg. From the effects of this it is al leged he afterward died, and on the charge oi murder Brundage now appears in the Criminal Court. The case will probably be both long continued and interesting. Some lofty witnesses have been subpoenaed, and the medical testimony oi about a dozen doctors is alo to be heard. Indeed, the amount ot medical lore that will probably bo brought to light will be something quite un precedented. BARTHOI.EMKW C3CÄTT. Mr. W. B. Whitney has made an assign ment for the benefit of his creditors, having failed for 300,000 on account of pork specu lations, it la said. A nest of home made thieves h,as been broken up in Clay township. A hired hand in the employ of Joseph Knott, a farmer in that township, was detected stealing hogs, and then Knott was suspected. Ho the vigilant seized him, tied a rope around his neck, and held him over the pit until he confessed bis own guilt and implicated others, all ol whom took to the woods. Many articles stolen in the neighborhood were found on Knott's premises. All have recently been arrested but one, and the officers are hot on his trail. A shocking railroad accident happened at Columbus on Wednesday. The Madison train over the J., M. & I. road, which ar rived at that point at 11:20 a. m., when back ing on the V at its function with the main line, ran over Mrs. Joshua M 'Queen, wife of the ex-treasurer or Bartholomew county. She was crossing Main street at the time. and, It is stated, no employe of the road was on the rear platform wnen the accident occurred. Both her legs were cut off, and she retained consciousness until she died, which was half an hour alter the accident occurred. JCAS8 COUNTY. The fox hunt on Tuesday waa something of a fizzle. The Pharos says: Tbero were about 23 horsemen with about a dog to every rider, and a horn for all, which was passed around like a hat at a missionary meeting. Nothing came of the venture but a lot of noise produced by the horn. The snow was heavy, and the boys of the party hadn't that abiding, faith in patience and submission Lecessary to success at a fox hunt. The same Journal thus speaks oi a native young lady artist: Two landscape paint ings, by Miss McDonald, of Camden, are attracting a great deal of attention from lovers of art in this city. One is a scene on Eel liver and the other picture the beauty of some ro mantic spot in .New York state. When it becomes generally known here that Mies M. is an artist of considerable reputation over the whole country the pictures will have an additional interest. The Pharos ol January 19 says: On yeter day the last rail was laid and the last spike driven on the extension oi the Logansport, Crawfordsville A Southwestern railway, and trains of cars were run from Terre Haute to the Sycamore street depot in this city today. By the completion of the line a direct route is now opened up between Toledo and Detroit, through this city, to all points south and west, which must in time become one of the leading thorough lares, not only for freight, not passenger travel I he Honthwestern will now be ena bled to make better running time, and be less dependent upon other roads, and will in the spring, in conjunction with the D., E, Ii. fc I. K. lt., commence the erection of shops and depots. CLAY COUNTY. The Brazil Echo thns refers to the present mining troubles in that section: The men st the old Veach bank, now operated by the Jackson Mining Company, are also tili out, and lor the same reason, and some of Wat son's men were idle up to Tuesday, smoe which time we have not heard from thm These, as far as we have been able to learn, are all the miners in the district that ar mie, aii owners caving irrftnted the ill. ii a, " v ivvMv-iVM - iLu gone -io work until the question of suspension is diflnltely settled. Petitions present an n nrirtrt su m i . ing this question to tbe miners have been circulating In all tbe banks for a week past, to get the feeling of tbe men In tbe district on the question. These petitions, we under stand, ask for return to old prices, 83 cents now and f 1 a ton for digging; so soon as tbe advance in Drice ol coal will Justify this price. These petitions have ben forwarded to President Siney, of the Miners' Union, at Cleveland, for examination and determination by the executive board, as to whether the anticipated suspension of work shall take place for the causes assigned, and the answer is expected during the coming week. Top men and laborers only get from $ I to 1 30 a day, and miners can easily make $2 at present rates. ELKHART COUXTT, The splendid high school building at Goshen, two stories high, with seats for 500 pnpiH, was destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon. The new water works could net be used, owing to the great distance of the building from tbe hydrants. The building was valued at f 20,000 or 525,000, besides about $5,000 worth of furniture, chemical apparatus, etc. A new addition was built during last fall, at an expense of $1,500. The bnilding was insured lor $7,000 in the Hofiie Company, of New York. . LAKB COUNT T. The La Porte Argus has found a fool, lie playfully pointed a loaded rifle t.t a weddlnparty and come within an inch of turniug the party into a funeral procession. Homebody should have brained the fellow with a straw. F0U.VTA1! COUNTY. The Williamsport Republican Mays It is rumored that tha Hon. Thomas David on,our preventable andofflclont jadgeof the Circuit Court, will be compelled to resign the Jadgship on awoant of Increasing ill healtb. Jt is surmised that in tbe eveut that Judge Davidson resigns Oov. Hendricks will appoint the Hon. Jud Joe. Ratine, ol Cov Ington, to fill Mr. Pavitiwou's utejpired term. MIAMI COUJfTT. The Republican gives a graphic Äcount of a fetal accident which occurred in WashIntoo township on Friday morning, resulttog in the death of" John Iiohn, an old and re-pec:el tit zen of the county. Mr. Bohn TU Mcseley'g "aw mill, with his team,

hauling lumber. Several other teams were standing in the mill yard, some of them not

fastened. Among the numoer was ueorge Dauphel's, which became frightened at the engine or the noise of the saw and started to run at full speed in the direction of Mr. Bonn. The latter was several feet frtjta bis own team and- sprang forward to catch them, and just as be eeiaed the reins one of Dauphel's horses struck him with sufficient force to break b!s collar bone, his shoulder blade and inj a re btrn internally, from (he e fleet of which be died soon afterward.

No guns, horses or dogs will be allowed on the ground, but all are to Dring some instrument with which to make a noise. SPENCER COUNTY. A reporter of the Rockport Republican Journal relates how a disgraceful shindy was recently held in the old homestead of the lamented Lincoln, Lake Lincoln near the town ot that dignified name. He deposes and says that a motley crowd of young men nuea with mean whisky squiTtea tobacco iuice on the old perch on which he. (Lincoln,) had so often tread. The reporter must cave pertakeu ol Home of the tobacco juice or the other, and stronger stimulant to which be refers to have uiscoverod the old homestead of the Lincoln, in that localWATNK COUNTY. . A call has been Issued from Richmond for a meeting of farmers in that city on Thursday, the 28th inst., 'lor the purpose o taking into consideration the propriety of resisting the enforcement of that part of our. present state tax law wnicn authorizes county auditor) to require land owners to have their lands reappraised, etc., for as sessment." The auditor of the county ban just sent out the blanks lor the compliance with this law, and the result is a general oumursi oi lnaignation. The farmers are not alone in expressing indignation at the laws. A meeting of the incorporated manufacturing companies was held at the Board of Trade rooms the same evening,for consultation with reference to the present tax law, and particularly tnat part relating to the assessment of incorporated companies, the law as it stands discriminat ing unfairly against this class ol manufacturers. Committees were appointed to draft a petition to the legislature for a repeal or modification of this law; also, to visit In dianapolis to arrange lor a general conven tion of those interested at an early day.
