One Charles Chaffy, plain farmer
of 80, residing near Recklesstown, n.
j., becaming enamered of the wife OF
Thomas Pierce, finally resolved to
desert home and family to unite for
tunes with the more youthful wife Of
his neighbor. With this object in view,
Chaffy emily mortgaged his farm
for 5000, sold off his stock, taking
about 81 300 belonging to his wife, and
lett home ostensibly to go to the city to
purchase Government bonds, but really
to meet Mrs. Pierce and her husband
in New York, thence to take a steamer
for California. The story goes that
Chatfy is to pay Pierce 5000 for his
wife, delivered in the Golden State; and
it is now known that the trio sailed
from New York last week for the Pa
cific coast. Chafy leaves a wife and
six children, two OF the latter being
married. Mrs. Pierce has one child,
which she took with her, and is we'll
sold at six thousand dollars. Chaffy
| was formerly an active member of the
Methodist Church, but wandered from
the fold. Last winter, however, he and
Mrs. Pierce were among the con-
verts to the Baptist faith, being baptis-
ed in the mill pond in mid-winter, With
| nearly hundred others added to the
church. His farm Is probably worth
from 5000 to 800, 900. upon which his
wife and children will continue to re-
] side. A brother of the infatuated old
gentleman is said to hade followed the
party to California. Pierce left some
unpaid bills behind, and his creditors
are hopeful that he may get his $1,000
/ and return. The affair has afforded a
fund OF gossip for the country round
about.
