It is a well known fact that heretofore "marrying out" has been a sufficient ground for disownment from the Friends. At their last annual gathering, however, in Newport R. I., this provision of the discipline was so changed that the Jew was left at liberty to have this sort of dealing with the Samaritan. The first to avail himself of this, at least in the State of Maine is R. M. Jones, Principal of Oak Grove Seminary, he having at the last monthly meeting in China, sent in his "intentions of Marriage" with Virginia Costello, of Bangor, not a member of the Society. Miss Costello is a niece of Joseph Bartlett, Esq., a native of Litchfield, formerly editor of the Bangor Whig, and now of the New York Evening Post.
