FROM KANsAs.-Advice from Leav-
enworth to Wednesday, state that the
overland Emigrant Company entered
Kansas and probably arrived at Topeka
safely. The company of Missourians
which marched to intercept them, had re-
turned without fighting. The compa-
ny of Dragons headed by Judge Le-
compile, which entered Nebraska to ar
rest Lane, had also returned without
efecting their object.
The rumored battle between the Emf
grants and Regulators near Nebraska
line, is not generally credited.
1t was rumored in Nebraska City on
the 30th ult., that large force of Mis-
sourian and Carolinians had invaded the
Territory and blockaded the pubhc,
roads. Volunteers have gone forward
to drive them out.

Curious CAsE-TuREE Wives But

rates singular case which came before
the Police Court in that city. George
Garrison was arrai sncd on the charge Of
bigamy, on the complaint ofLucy Potts.
1t appears that eight years ago he mar
ried Elizabeth Smith; that while his
wife was living, in April, 1s50, he mar
ried Lucy Potts, with whom he lived
until April, 1886. when he married Mar
-arct Smith. His first wife, Elizabeth
Smith, died two years ago. and before his
marriage with his third wife The JUS
tice decided that there was no bigamy
between the first and second marriage.
because fhe statute Of limitation three
years expired before the complaint was
made that there was no bigamy between
the first and :hird, because the first wife
died befolethe date ofthc third marriage.
and that there was no bigamy between
the second and third wife because the
marriage of the second wife was void
b cause it WAS consumnated while the
first wife was still living.

Trial Of Our Savior /.

This Magnificent Exhibition which
opens at Writings Hall this Friday
afternoon, illustrates one of the most
memorable events ever recorded in his
tory. 1t represents the Trial of Our
Savior before Pontius PLATE, Governor,
and Caiaphas, High Priest of Jerusalem,
and consists oftwenty- three figures of
statuary, the full size life, and dressed
in the ancient costume of that time and
country. together with the Throne, Par
aphernalia, and Golden Tables of the
Judgment Hall. This Exhibition is no
Panorama Painting. but a group of
wax Statuary, so p'rfeetiy Htt-like as 10
mock reality.
We have seen this Exhibition, and
are satisfied it is work of great artistic
skill, and was gratifed to learn that the
citizens of Ellsworth would soon have
an opportunity of beholding an Exhibi-
ton, that more than equals the discrip-
ton given of it in the bills. We agree
with the Cayuga Chief, when it says lit
is one of the best Exhibitions in the coun-
try, and deserves the unparalleled sue
cess it has met with wherever exhibited.
Open at Writings Hall, for four days.
from 5 to ) and to 9 p. NJ. Let all
our Superintendent make arrangements
for the Sabbath Schools to visit it. They
are admitted we believe at reduced rates.
RocKLAND, Aug. Is 1855.
Having had on opportunity to examine
the group Of Wax Statuary, illustrating
the Trial of of Our Savior" we would
heartily commend it to the attention
and patronage of onr citizens which
work of so much merit deserves.

If he can hope for nothing in Kentucky,
