CCRIoCs CAsE.-In one OF our courts, last
week, q man who - known as one of the most
harder ed williams of this locality, received the
rewaru due 10 his offence gainst the laws and
fer q while society will be deprived of his
presence. His name, however is prominently
connected with an action now pending before
SO singular, and at the same time 40 unfortu-
hat- for the lady with whom his fate has been
fntec, ss 10 be worthy of record. For her
sase We iorofar TO designate the parties with
more particularly.
Twenty years ago the man. then young man
ofFcod reputation and promise, married the
aaHe bter OF q well 10 do farmer in one OF the
belghoorlng towns. The wife was woman
OF nicIe than Ordinary attractions, well edu-
etied snd refined. Not long after the birth of
Their child, now young woman of Nineteen
and finally LEFT his home, and a few years
since married again in Pennsylvania, having,
IN the meantime, engaged IN the enterprises
which have finally brought aim to the cells.
Not long since the father OF the second wife
was put in possession OF facts which led him
10 suppose that his putaiive SON. law has
hem guilty OF higsmy. and coming to this city
tOught out his first wife, and learned the truth
Of The case The wife Immediately began an
action for divorce.
The cool scoundrel, however. was ready for
any turn OF affairs and Immediately, met the
ttuAtlon boldly denying that he was ever
before married The horror and indignation
of The mother and her daughter can be imag-
In'G, and they immediately set TO work 10
obtain the necessary proofs of the marriage.
The certificate was no here to be found, and
ID - suspected that the husband, having ob-
tanned possession OF II. had destroyed 1t. On
further inquiry, IL was found that the Justice
who had performed the marriage was dead,
without having left a record of any OF the mar
rIsges which he had soIem1izsd. The grief
stricken woman, moreover, found that the
witnesses TO the marriage were scattered To the
ends OF The earth, and lost TO her IN unknown
localities. Up 10 the present time no traces of
them have been fonnd, and il is not even
known whether any are still alive Hopes
are, however, entertained that among the
effects of The Justice spoken of some record
may yet be discoy cred. The moral OF the story
rIust be plain 10 every married woman.-Baf-
