SEVEN TIMES MARRIED AND FIVE DIVORCED.

(From the Cleveland Herald.) There is now living in this city a woman ! who eight years ago was married to her tirst husband. He enlisted in the Union army in 1861, and was killed at the first battle of Bull Run, Within a week after she heard the news of his death she united her fortunes with another man, who lost his life ere, the honeymoon was over, in a street brawl in this city, Eeturning from , the funeral, she accepted the proposal of j a third, and the next day was " legally , married to him, But it appears that husband No. 3 was not the man to suit her ideas, and she soon after filed a bill in the Court of Common Pleas for a divorce, which was granted her, A few months elapsed and No. 4 pledged himself to love, protect, and care for her, This marriage also proved unhappy for both parties, and again the Courts interfered and dissolved the tie which bound them together. In May, 1867, No. 5 was smitten with her charms, and, after a short courtship, a, priest slipped the marriage noose over his head, and he became lord and master of her household effects. Two months they lived in peace, but at the end of that time the wife became jealous of another woman in the neighborhood, and she again resorted to the Courts to sever the nuptial knot, which was done, In October of the same year, No. 6 presented himself, and a quick marriage followed. For- some reason they failed to agree, the. husband insisting that he was the head of the household, and the wife denying it ; and so they separated, and a bill in the Chancery part of the Common Pleas Court again released her of her troublesome partner. In February, 18G8, she again sought to try the bliss of married life, and united her fortunes with No, 7/. This time they lived together just a year, when they had concluded they had enough of each other, and separated. The wife again applied for a divorce, and it was granted her, and she is now anxiously waiting for No. 8. In 1867 her daughter, by adoption, who was a sprightly girl of fifteen summers, possessing her mother's ideas of matrimony, married a brother of her mother's husband, thus mixing up the relation question fearfully. This marriage proved an unhappy one also, and taking her mother's advice she got rid of her incumbrance by procuring a divorce. On the same day on which her mother married the seventh time, she also was married to her second husband ; and in two months after the Court interfered at her request, and left her a grass widow at the interesting age of sweet seventeen.
