A BIGAMIsT IN CoURT.-Henry Mowry, u
young man. appeared in court at Troy, N. y,
on the 18th inst, to answer the charge of con-
snmmating Illegal marriage with Miss
Fanny WEIGH. He was discharged upon ad-

Mowry has Il wife by former marriage liy-
ing in Providence, and that she has heard
read letters written by her to him; and also
that Mowry had admitted to several persons,
while denying the legality of the last mar
riage, that he had wife living in another
State. The counsel for Miss w. have also let
ters from Mowry's father and brother, in
which the first marriage is spoken of by them.
The prisoner was remanded to Jail for eXami-
nation on n charge of bigamy.
Quite scene took place III court previous to
the discharge of the prisoner on the original
charge. His Albany counsel, Mr.. WilIett
called Mowry one side and whispering to him
informed him, as it was understood, that his
father had disowned him and should hereafter
leave him 10 the consequences of his acts
This intelligence seemed to oYerpower the
prisoner and he burst into tears. He continued
to weep for some time, and did not again re-
gain his composure during the time he was i'll

Effects af an 44ccidsaf-Tweiye or fifteen
months ago we noticed an accident at Coles
barrel factory, on the south side of the Dock.
by which WILLIAM VEITcH one of the work
men, was caught in the machinery. and had
the bones of his left arm between the elbow
and the wrist, terribly crushed. The unfor-
tinate man was then taken to the Richmond
Medical College, where the physicians. BY
skiiifnl treatment, cured him Without resort
ing to amputation; but from that day to this
his arm has been useless. MIR. Veitch was en-
deavoring, yesterday, to get permit TO the
Poor-House of Henrico county, in order 10
have his arm operated upon. Where the frac-
ture oecGrred, the bone seems to have crum-
bied into pieces and worked out, leaving n
vacancy of an inch or two between the tyy,
ends. The muscles are all sound, and the
flesh around the fracture seems perfectly
healthy. His object in going TO the Poor.House
is to have his arm opened to the bone, and to
have the two ends Joined together and strength
ened by means of u silver band, so that lac may
be able to use it, The poor fellow has wife
and two children and is willing to bear any
pain, however great, SO that he may be ena-
bled, in the future, TO labor for the support of
his family Two intelligent physicians have
kindly offered to operate upon him gratuitous-
ly, and we sincerely hope that they may sue
ceed in restoring his arm.
