The Museum—a queer collection of baboons and plastic castings—had ita usual number of visitors, composed of women with babies out for an airing, gentlemen accom- panied by their families, young couptes obviously from the coantry and just ,. and cooing couples of lovers whose tenderness, as they viewed the Colosra! plaster cast of ‘was amusing—the whole making @ salmayundif humanity nat to be met with and anpoted upon anywhere else in the city.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A LEGAL MARRIAGE. Marriages at Common Law and Martiages Under the Statute, d&c. [From the Cincinnati Commercial, April 30.) Thowas Trunnel and others vs. Granger, Paylor and others. —This is a suit for partition of real estate tried before Judge Force. The principal question in the case is whether Rachel Paylor, who claims to be the widow of James Paylor, deceased, and us «nch entitled to dower out of his estate, is in fact vis, widow; and whether her children, who claim an undivided interest m the same, are entitled, as leitimate heirs, to inherit this property. It was contended on behalf of the piaintiffs that James Paylor and Rachel Paylor never were married, and the deciarations of both the latter named parties were relied upon to prove the fact that the marriage relation had never subsisted. Judge Pruden, who, with Wm. Tilden, appeared for plaintiffs, offered testimony to prove the admissions made by Mrs. Payior, Counsel for the defence (Mevrs. Snow and Bradstreet) object- ed. The court permitted the te-timony of any ad- missions belore the death of James Paylor, and while the parties lived sasstheny ‘but heii that any evidence as to admissions by Mrs. P., made after the death of her alleged husband, would be incompetent. Mrs. Ashford testified that she heard Mrs. F., at her own house, say ‘shat she was not married to James Pa: lor. This was on the occasion of a quarrel between the parties, On cross-examinayon, the witness that she was unable to give dates. She denied that ahe hadstated to the daughter of Mrs. P. that if the latter would not dis- pute aciaim ‘that she (the witness) bad in reiation to this sam: property, she would pot. make any statement that would prejudice the claim o° Mrs, P. in this action. The brother and sister of James Paylor were also called, and testified to admissions mate by Rachel Paylor and James Paylor, during the hfetime of tie latter, to the effect that the parties were not married; that her family and a portion of bis family were very much mortifled at 1, and that it was cause of some unpleasant feelin; and difficultics One of the witne-ses stuted that tn a conversation with her brother, James Paylor, he stated that the marriage ceremony never was performed, gad that he regarded the ceremony of Jumping over broomstick just as valid. Testimony was introduced in behalf of the de‘ence to show that they had lived to- gether‘ostensibly ax husband and wife for nearly twenty themselves: spol 38 1 ani he spoke of her as bis wife; and utter an occurre in which he bad been stricken down. and on the verge of dissolution wa bleeding siowly to death, he addressed ber as his ‘dear wife,” &c. The famiiy physician, Dr. Tate, who atiended nN) P. at tho virth of each of her , testit that be vever hed any sus- picion, trom anything he had secn or heard, that the parties were not husband and wife; that they appeared wo live together as avy married persons do, Mrs, Pay- lor was called to the stand, and denied having made the admissions ted to her by some of the witnesses, In the argument ip support of dirs. Paylor's claim it was urged by Mr, Snow that the evidence had conclusively proved @ marriage. Refereuce was made to the last moments of James Paylor, when, as msisied, his coudact could not be reconciled with any other theory than tho o marriage had been performed by ‘he priest or magis- trate, All that the testimony on the other side tendea never beon performed by ajustice of the peace mnister; but there was no adinission that they were living in illicit intercourse.
