INNOCENT BIGAMY.-The gossips of Maryport,
in Ohio, have found food for their vocation in the
following curious circumstance: A respectable
female, formerly resident there, whose husband
went to sea some time since, received intelligence
that the ship had gone to pieces and that all hands
on board persisted. The widow of course put on
the usual hablments of sorrow. In the course of
few weeks she attracted the attention of some re-
spectacle man, disposed to throw aside the state of
" single blessedness, . who made her honorable adj
vances, but she remained true to the memory OF
her lost partner AT length an innkeeper at Work
ingham distanced all competitors in the race for
happiness, having himself but lately become a
widOwer. After short courtship the widow and
the widower became by Hymen's bonds.
These circumstances transpred within about three
months, and scarcely had the joys of the honey
moon passed by, than the startling news arrived
that the husband was on his journey home, having
been rescued from watery grave by friendly
vessel, in which he made a voyage to the West In

the returns of Lafayette county. O'Conner,
the sitting member, had two majority over
the contestant. Hamilton rested his claim
on proving that illegal votes had been cast
for O'Conner, but he did not make clear
case.
Mr.. Crawford, young and ardent law
yer from Mineral Point, spoke for two
hours in behalfof O'Conner. He displayed
considerable ingenuity and talent. After a
rejonder by Hamilton, and some remarks
from Judge Dunn, in reply TO personal
attack by Hamilton on himself, the question
vas taken on the resolution submitted BY
the committee, which was in substance
That Hamilton was not entitled to the seat
occupied by O'Conncr. The resolution
was adopted with only two dissenting votes.
SO ends this matter, which never ought
