A REMARKABLE CASE—Eliza Wells
was married ten years ago to John S.
Hatt, the bride being sixteen years old
and the groom fifty-two. After living
together five years Eliza obtained a
divorce on the ground of too much
"family discipline." Recently Hatt
(now sixty-two years of age) returned
to Kalamazoo and commenced hanging
round Eliza again, and by his winning
ways regained her favor. They were
married yesterday.—Kalamazoo paper.
Twenty-six and sixty-two! Eliza
must have been very fond of old Hatt,
to enter the married state with him
again, and have another course of
family discipline.—S. F. Figaro.
