that ct the time IF her marriage with him she
had another husband living. The lady new
applies for q re-cpening Of the decree, alleging
that when the suit for Il was instituted by Mr..
Lincoln she allowed the matter to 60 by de-
fault in consequence Of being deceived by her
lawyer. She says that after her first marriage
she discovered that her husband had another
wife, and therefore felt herself free to marry
again, and contracted the matrimonial alliance

AT 2 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, the fu-
neral Of Mr.. Francis j. Lyon and his wife, who
were scalded to death on board the st. John,
on Sunday morning last, was solmenized at
St Luke's Church, New York. The fact that
on Thursday last the youthful couple were
married IN the same church, and that they had
lost their lives while on their bridal tour, lent
additional interest to the ceremonies. About
noon the collins were carried into the church,
and the coverings being removed, the bodies
were seen habited In their bridal attire. A very
large assemblage of friends and relatives of the
deceased were present. The services were
performed in very impressive manner by
Rev. j. II. Tuttle, the same clergyman who
officiated at the marriage ceremony. i

THE custom which has obtained within
few years of observing Thanksgiving upon .
common day throughout the country-the last
Thursday of November-is this year violated,
and appointments are divided among three
different days. The President calls for Ma
tional Thanksgiving on Thursday, December
7th, and the Governor OF New York adopts
the same day. Massachusetts,. New Hampshire,
Ohio and Wisconsin, stick to the last Thursday
November Both. The Governor of Maine has
appointed November 23d. 1t is said an at
tempt win be made to have the President
change his proclamation, and adopt the lnst
Thursday, the reasons for it being quite as
strong Is those which induced him TO change
the day OF Fasting for the assassination Of Mr.
Lincoln. - s-iteoait
