A CASE OF BIGAMy.-Benjamin r. Simonds,
cartn,an of this city, was arrested on Friday on
charge ofbigamy, having three wives now liv-
ing. From the evidence, it appears that in the
year lS45 he married Elizabeth Zeh, in the town
Of Berne, and whom he deserted after living with
her some three years. Some six months since he
married Lucy &. Potts. About three months af-
ter he also married Harriet Merrill Of Waterford,
in whose society he spent week, and then re-
turned to Lucy. Simonds has frequently been
advised by his friends to leave the city, but he
obstinately refused, and contended that by mar
lrying the three times, the crime ofbigamy would
be neutralizcd. Lucy was also arrested, charg.
Cd with marrying him with knowledge of his
first marriage. They were both committed to
prison by the Police Magistrate.

There was Deacon Overrcach. now, he was so
mean he always carried hen in his gig-box
when he travelled, to pick up the oats his horse
wasted in the manger, and lay an egg for his
breakfast in the morning. And then there was
Hugo Zimmerman, who made his wife dig pota-
toes to pay for the marriage license. / must
tell you that story of Hugo, for it's not bad
one; and good stories like potatoes, ain as plen-
tv as they used to be when was boy. Hugo
is neighbor of mine, though considerably old
er than myself, and mean neighbor he is, too.
Well, when he was gongto get married to
Gretchen Kolp, he goes down to Parson Rog-
