Cilinton Dr'voiu's-- Judge Rohnert. of De- troit, bas granted adivorce decree on the ground of desertion to Ellen Mil- ler from Thos B Miller. The Millers were married in 1870, in Clinton. In July, 1895, they separated. There are six children, ranging in age from 19 to 0. Mrs Miller and her eldest daugh- ter told the story which led to the divorce. A few months after Miller left his wife and children to shift for themselves, he went back to his home in Canada. A. rawer reached his family that he had. re -married. They at first could not believe such an in- credible story. They thought that the husband and father, who was an educated man and a teacher, would not forget his obligations in that man- ner. Accordingly Mrs. Miller sent her eldest daughter to Canada to investi- gate. According to the daughter's testimony, she found her father living with another woman, whom he intro- duced as his wife. The daughter was too astounded at first to know what to: do. A little later her father drew her aside and asked her to please call hirn "uncle," as he was married again, and did not want his wife to know that he had a wife and children. She acceded to his request. Wm, E. Hoggarth, who taught suc- cessfnlly for some years in Cromarty school, has bought the Win. Elder homestead at Rodgeryill e.
