Duborkk ot Divorce.?Judge Olin, fn the S.quity Court, Los made a decree divorcing Churlee JHades from the bonds of matrimony with Felixma Made?. The petition in this case fpta Jurth that the petitioner did not become acquainted with the respondeat until January let, that they first met in Alexandria, at that lime; were married on the 4th of MArch following, by R-v. S. D. Pinckel; that the re spondent gave birth to a full grown child on the 37th day of June fallowing, three months and twenty-three days arter marriage, and only fire months after the first acquaintance; that the child was not the truit of any illicit intercourse on the part of the petitioner; that ihe respondent fraudulently concealed her sit nation from the petitioner. Judge Olln in this ca*e tiled a written opin ion, in which, after reciting the facts, he says; "Relief is not sought in this case under the act of Congress applicable to divorces In this Dis trict. It is asked for under the general powers ?of a court ef chancery to annul a contract upon the ground of f raid. The contract of mar riage, though a civil contract, is of so great bolt mnity and importance that courts of equity have seldom set it aside on the ground of fraud After a somewhat careful examination ot adjudged cases, l cannot doubt but that this court bas the power, independent of the act ot Congress, to annul and eel aside the marriage contract, when obtained by fraud. Rut the fraud must not be of a slight or trivial charac ter which wiil warrant this court to annul it. in this cafe the fraud is of such a character as every right man would revolt from with de testation and abhorrence? and 1 have no hesitancy in decreeing that the marriage eon tract in ihis case be annulled and set aside." Tbe d<?cree closes: "It is decreed that the marriage heretofore set up and pretended by the respondent with the petitioner, was pro cured by her iu fraud, and was contracted by and made by and under the frandule nt con trivance ol the respondent, and the Court dotb adjudge and decree that the said mar riage be and the same is hereby annulled and set aside, and declared null and void." The testimony was taken bafore Commis sioner J. J. Johnson, when the witnesses were examined, one of whom testified to going With the respondent to Perry vllle, Ohio, where the child, which lived five weeks, was born; another to the birth ot the child at that place, and The admissions of the respondent, that the .petitioner waa not the lather of it, and the third to tne time and circumstances of the pei.tiorer'a acq uaintance witn the respondent. Joseph H. Bradley, Jr., Esq , appeared for the petitioner. There was no appearance for "the respondent. Goiku to AyuiA Cbkjik to Mend a Water Pipe?It is e-id ihat several married gentle men whov;eiit on a -'Moonlight Excursion" the other v gbt to Aqu?a Creek, are in trouble with their better halve?, in consequence of having put forward bojus business exigencies as neectsitatiag their absence from home on thiit night An esteemed ci izen, wTlo carries on plumbing and gas-fitting, represented to his cr.ro *posa that the bursting of a water P'l'e in one of the Department buildings would make it necessary fpr him to be absent all right. She guilelessly believed the tak, and wept on her single pillow over the hardshiDs of the plumbing business, that tore the fond husband Irom his household gods at the dead hour ef night; and when the break.ast hour came, and no husband, she thought the break an that water-pipe must have been an exten sive one, and when his plj.ce was vacant at tbe dinner table, she yet had faith, and be lieved that the pipe had burst again: but when he made his appearance very late in the even lrg. with a sunburnt face, a smashed up hat, and the marks ot greea grass on the seat of bis linen pants, sne shrewdly put that aud thft together, and come to the conclus'on that he had been to the prize fig^t. As be had been a good boy previously, he was forgiven for ??just once." Alderman McMullln, of Philadelphia, re feree at tbe "mill," who so earnestlyreq nested the members of the pre.~s not to mention his presence, must be excessively disgusted to find bis name, courled with his civic title, figuring in the prize-fight report of every paper in the country. A Baltimore councilman, who got leave of absence from his spouse, (a lady of much force of character,) on pretence of having to come to 'Washington to see some Coast Survey plans for the improvement of the Baltimore basin, and whose name unfortunately got into the papers, ha= not yet dared to return to his do mestic circle, it is said, bat is waiting in Wash ington until a pardon can be negotiated. Several delinquent husbands have man aged te cover their tracks thus far; but the suspicions of some of them have been aroused by mutterings of their liege lords in their dreams about "first knock-down," "first blood," " ten to five oh Collyer." ?? a stinger on the snoot," "mauleys," "peepers," "fouls." and "rib-crackers " Husbands when they go to prize fights had better have a fair preliminary understanding with the wives of their bosoms.

Srlby Letter?Mrs. Dr. Benson (formerly Mrs. j Mary Hudspeth) has arrived iu this city from Canada to testify in the Surratt case. She: will be remembered as the witness who testi fied on the assassination trial in regard to liuding a letterina New Yorkstreet car signed " Charles Selby." The letter was addressed " Dear Louis," and goes on to say: *? The time has at last come mat we have all so wished for. and upon you everything depends. As it was decided before you left, we were to ca-t lo.s. Accordingly we did so, aad you are to be the Charlotte Corday of the nineteenth cen tury. When you remember the fearful, solemn vow that was taken by us you will feel there! i3 no drawback. Abe must dU and nov>. You can choose your weapons. The cup, theA-m/i.i the bulltt. The cup tailed us once, and might again, &c." Mrs. Hudspeth testifies to finding this letter in November, 1864, and describes the person who dropped it in the street cars as a young; man wearing false whi6ktrs, and whose deli-' cate hands indicated that he lead a lite of leisure. Mrs. Hudspeth took the letter to General Scott, and it was forwarded, through General Dix, to President Lincoln, who seemed to attach little importance to it and threw it in his desk. It is probable that Government will bring forward this testimony to show that tbe assassination of Mr. Lincoln had long been premeditated, and was net the result of a sud den change of purpose by Booth on the very day that it took place. ? Boyax Abch Masonry.?Last evening the Urst Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, formed since the District was a few weeks ago made a separate jurisdiction, was instituted in Ma son.c Hall, under the name of Eureka (Jtiap ter, No. 4, R A M., and the following officers we?e installed: Chauncey Smith, M E.

The officers and members of this Chapter are well up in tbe Maso.1.c work, and lrora the character of those who have been active in organizing the CBap'er, there is no doubt but it will be s^on one of the mofct promising Chapters in the jurisdiction.
