OITY INTELLIGENCE.

A SAD CAsE.-A case Of some interest was
heard before Alderman White yesterday. A
young, beautiful girl, just entering the full prime
of womanhood, appeared against her own hus-
band, charging him with bgamy. She was sup
ported by her father, gentleman of respectable
standing and extended influence in the village
where he resides. The young girls name is
Fanny Arthur, and her home is in Stockton, New
Jersey. About year since stranger from New
York came to the village and became acquainted
with the family Of Mr.. Arthur. His visits there
increased. Fanny was guilecss country girl,
unused to the wiles and arts of city life, and her
heart was an easy conquest for the attentive
stranger. They were married. A fairer bride
never wore the white veil of her bridal wreath
than the old mans daughter rs she left his side
for the home and heart of the stranger
Another SIX months passed. The sunny days
of marriage life had been unbrOken and un'
marred The honeymoon fingered with the
young couple, and the days slipped away merry
and gladstone as bridal bells, when the dream of
the Onug brides happiness was dissipated. Her
husband had always acted with apparent fairness
in all his transactions with her family. He had
given his name rs Alexander Adams, and his tcs-
timOnials from the city where he claimed the ac-
quaintance of long years of residence, were uu-
doubted evidences of his sober, industrious,
moral character. But now the young wife found
that she was not wife, that her husband had
been married for years, and that his first wife and
three children were living in New York.
The girl went home to her father, and the viii
layers proposed to settle the matter, as far as the
seduCer was concerned by a short rope and
shorter shrift. Adams anticipated their beneyO-
lent intentions to elevate him in the world, and
he left for this city. Justice followed him. A
warrant was issued for his arrest by Judge Cas-
sidy, of New Jersey, and Adams was arrested in
Jersey
and he was primarily arraigned before Alderman
White, until an application for requlsition TO
remove him to New Jersey could be procured
from Governor Parker. The hearing was one of
singular sadness. Adams was committed 10 await
the action of the New Jersey authorities.
ARREST OF ALLEGED BURGLARs.-About day
break this morning, two individuals were taken
into custody under rather suspicious circum-
stances, upon the charge Of being professional
burglars. About u O'Clock last night, as officer
Campbell, of the Second Police District, was
standing at Fourth and Shippen streets he OBJ
served tive men behaving in a strange manner.
One of them stood near the curbstone, as IL he
was watching, while the other was close to the
house and seemed to be lingering about the lock
In the door. The officer walked towards the men,
when they started oil.
The former summoned assistance, and traced
the steps OF the men TO lager beer saloon on
watched them from through the window, aud
saw one 60 up TO the bar, and the other 60 out
into the yard. Waiting until they came out, the
officers commenced 10 search the suspected indi-
viduals, with view of ascertaining whether they
had anything on their persons TO confirm sus-
piciOns.
Not finding anything, the men were released
and started off. The officers next went into the
lager beer saloon TO ascertain what the men had
been doing there. They went into the yard, and
there found a set Of false keys tied up in hand
kerChief, which one of the thieves had deposited
after he found his steps were being dogged by
the officers. The keys were taken possession of
by the officers, who determined TO set watch and
sec if the men would return for their property.
Accordingly, about O'Clock this morning, one
OF the men, together with companion, made
hist appearance at the saloon. One of them
went. INTO the yard, evidently to hunt the keys.
