WITH FIVE WlvEs.-Some time sinct. PRO.
fessOr EirhyC, a gentlemen of vcntriiueuil.
accomplishments, arrived ia this city. and
made an engagement with one of the Bow.
cry Theatres os a performer. Before he
had an opportunity of enlightening the
community with the merits of bis art. a
warrant was sued out for his arrest in the
City Of Philadelphia and sent here for exc
cution. Detective Wilson thereupon ar
rested the Professor, and conveyed him Ia
Philadelphia, on charge Of having more
wives than the law allows. Itappears that
there is in different parts of the country
no less than five Mrs. Kirbyes. one in
Pittsburg, one in Wheeling, one in Phil
liPsburg, and two in Philadelphia, The
first lady whom he married was a widow.
Emily Holt of the Quaker City. Emily Is
only about GO years of age, the Professor
being about 80. She had been a widow
for 20 years, and possessed of the pleasant
little fortune of $4,000. Finding that
Professor Kirbye had distributed his affec-
tions with too generous hand, she went
before magistrate and made complaint
hence his arrest. In consequence of this
little matter, the Professors performances
will be suspended for the present.-Nev
York Tribune.
The Kirbye spoken of above is the man
who performed at the Washington Hall
and the Atheneum, under the management
of Edwards 4 Brownell. Like the rest
of the gentlemen connected with the
"gnyety" establishment at that time, he was
supposed to be abuudantly supplied With
wives, but nobody took the pains to inquire
infinitely into his shortcomings. We are
glad that he has at last been brought to a
halt.
