singular feature in the case is, that
the fifth wife was also the third wife.
The third marriage not proving a
happy one, the parties separated and
wera divorced. The man married
again, and when death claimed his
fourth wife, the disconsolate Widower
returned to No. 3, and again wooed
and won her. Judge Perrin thinks

THIRTY THOUSAND LIVES LOST.
The San Francisco Herald receiv.
ed yesterday, has the annexed awful
intelligence from japan, brought by
the clipper schooner Page, Capt.
Morehouse. which left Simoda, Japan,
on December 10, and Hakododaon
January 6.
1t appears that Jeddo, the capitol
of Japan. has been destroyed by an
earthquake, and that the loss of life
was immense. We copy as follows
from the Herald:
Ga the 18th Of November, at 10
o'clock P. NJ, a violent earthquake
occurred at Jeddo, which destroyed
one hundred thousand dwellings, ic.
ty.four temples, and thirty thousand
inhabitants. Fire broke out at the
same time in thirty different parts Of
the city. The earth opened and
closed over thousands of buildings
With their occupants. The shock
was severe at Simoda. Although
the distance from JedGo to Simods
is but sixty miles, it appears that
no official account of the earthquake
had been received at the latter place
at the sailing of the schooner Page
December 10. The news was oh
tanned through the Dutch interpret.
er. The Japanese seem to attach
but little Importance to the catas.
