Married, Divorced and Married Again Several Courtships Intervene. Mitchell, June 25. Special. James Scarlett and Mrs. Belle Gibbons-Scarlett-Taylor were united in marriage yesterday near Orangeville. in Orange county, and thereby hangs a tale which ia quite romantic and out of the ordinary. At the head of Lost river, in the spring of 1878, the same couple stood under a large rock overhanging the side of the valley, while Justice Boss pronounced them man and wife. At that time Jim was not "solid" with Belle's parents, and the arrangements had to be made by a third party, and a handkerchief on a neighbor's door was the signal on the day of the wedding for Belle to go to the plare where the marriage ceremony was performed, she telling her mother that ehe was going to the spring for a pail of water, and Jim had his wife at his home, three miles awav, before the angrv parents were notified of the romantic event. But the parents "cooled off'-' and the happy twain went to live with them, but in a few months, although they lived in peace, Jim wanted to live away from her parents, and as she would not go with him they separated. Bell got a divorce and Jim married again, settling on a farm near by and doing well. His new wife, however, was too jealous to live fo near Bell and pereuaded Jim to go to New Albany, where he worked in the car shops until his wife's conduct made him leave Ler. Bell, in the meantime, had married again, but she became tired of her man, arranged a visit to Illinois, and after returning got a divorce from him and went to live with her parents again. Jim returned to his old home also, and the two thus came to see'each other often, until they began a second courtship, which, it is said, resembled that of young lovers, and which has resulted in the happy event of today. James' second wife received a divorce from him In Floyd county court only a few weeks ago and made his second marriage with his first wife posiible. A Freight Wreck. Mariox, June 20. Special.

Offutt of thia city, attempted to kill herself, using as a weapon a butcher knife, cutting a fearful gaah in her throat. Mrs. Price haa been laboring under a delusion for some time that she swallowed a set of false teeth when on a visit to Washington, D. C, not long since, and it preyed heavily on her mind. She gives the reason for the attempt to take her life that the doctors would not cut out tbe teeth and she determined to extract them herself. Another reason she gives for self-destruction is, that it had been decided to send her to the asylum, and that ehe waa to be taken on the 4th of July, and rather than außer this she came to the conclusion to kill herself. Her husband returned home just in time to save her life, but she says she will complete the deed. She is lying in a critical condition and may not recover.
