SEVEN TIMES MARRIED.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald says:— " There is now living in this city a woman who, eight years ago, was married to her first husband. He enlisted in the Union army in 1861, and was killed at tbe first battle of Bull's 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. Returning from the funeral, she accepted the proposal of 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. 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 auociiev 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 reasons they failed to agree, the husband insisting that he was the head of the household, and the wife denying it j 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, ISGB, 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 concluded they had 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 1567, 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 feai-fully. This marriage proved an unhappy one also, and taking her mother's advice, she got rid of her encumbrance by procuring a divorce. On the same day on which her mother married the seventh time, she was also 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."
