An Extraordinary Case Of Bigamy.

An extraordinary case Of bigamy
was before the court yesterday even
ing. The prisoner was a handsome
and fashionably attired young man,
named Albert A. Whitehead, about q
years of age, and the circumstances Of
his case are as follows: On the 18th
Of June 1868, Whitehead, who is a
real "lady-killer," married young
lady named Emma Doubleday-tho
daughter of Mr. Henry Doubleday,
well-known citizen of Brooklyn-the
ceremony being performed by the Rev.
Mr. Adams, of the Fleet Street NJ. Z
Church.
On the 4th of July last, young
Whitehead asked his father-in-law.
Mr.. Doubleday, for the loan Of $500,
in order to get into business. Mr..
Doubleday advanced him S22O. Just
at this time, however, a young girl
brought the news TO Mrs. Whitehead
that her husband was counting Miss
Emma Gable, and was TO be married
to her at an early date, an that "Al-
bert's" wedding suit was then being
made. The wife informed her father,
who, by skill and activity, actually
found the tailor making the wedding
suit, and obtained other information
leading him to the conviction that the
money borrowed was for the purpose
of paying for his wedding expenses
and a fight TO Nashville, Tennessee.
Mr. Doubleday, therefore, had White
head arrested for obtaining money
under false pretences, aud also obtained
information of his former marriage
with Miss Mary Jane Tallmsn, of
Buffalo, by tho Rector of st. James
Church there. On his complaint, in
dictments were found in June by the
Grand Jury, for both bigamy and OBJ
tanning money under false pretences.
The case coming up yesterday, Mr..
Doubleday procured the attendance
of the first wife from Buffalo, who
confronted the prisoner in court, much
to his surprise. Whitehead, seeing
that the zig was up" plead guilty to
the indictment Of bigamy. When
conducted before the bar of the court,
the two young wives were provided
with seats near him, while in the rear
among the spectators, were two sweet
hearts, who had been expecting mar
riage. The prosecuting parsonage,
the father Of the last wife, bound TO
see the thing out, was near by, one
arm upon the bar Of the court, and
watching the proceedings with great
interest The prisoner stood up coolly
before the court, but had nothing to
say. He was attired in fashionable
black suit, with white neck.tie and
immaculate linen. We was sentenced
to the State Prison for three years,
and then stated with the air of an
old libertine, that he had a third wife
in Washington.
The first wife has buried one child,
born in wedlock with the prisoner,
and the second is soon to be confined
One of the sweet-hearts, who still
clings to Albert, waited till all others
had departed, to take final intervieR
with him, on his way, handcuffed, to
Jail. The other women wept "eopi.
ously" in the courtroom, and the
spectators looked on with interest,"

BmLIARDs.-A match of more inn
portancc than any that has been
played in this city Tor years began
last week between Victor Estephe and
Isadore Gayraud, at the rooms of the
former, 600 Chestnut street. The
terms of the match are as follows
First 1000 points French three-ball
carom game second 5000 points
American four-balI game, on carom
table, push shot barred, each carom to
count but one point. The object of
this stipulation is to lessen the chan
ces of luck, and make the result de-
pend more upon skill, as carcm
on the two red balls will count no
more than one on the white and rcd.
Two hundred points on the French
game will be played at each meeting,
and five hundred points of the four
ball game at the next. This will be a
remarkably interesting contest, as
both players stand in the front rank
at the French game, and dispense al
together with the unscientifc push
shot, No stakes are to be played for,
as the match is simply n trial OF skill,
and this is an advantage.to the public
for the playing is apt TO be all the
finer for the absence of any betting

The Two Apprentices.

Two boys were apprenticed in a
carpenters shop. One determined to
make himself a thorough workman
the other "didn't care" One read
and studied, and got books that would
help him 10 understand the principles
of his trade. He spent his evenings
at home reading. The other liked
fun best. He often went with the
other boys to have a "good game"
"Come," he often said to his shopmate,
"leave your old books; come with us.
What is the use of all this reading"
of | waste these golden moments"
answered the boy, II shall lose what
/ shall never make up"
While the boys were still apprentices
an offer of two thousand dollars appear
ed in the newspapers for the best plan
for a State fouse TO be built in one of
the Eastern States. The studious boy
saw the advertisement, and determined
to try for IL. After careful study he
drew out his plans, and sent them to
the committee. We suppose he did
not really expect TO gain the prize,
but still be thought, there is nothing
like trying"
In about week afterwards, a gen.
tleman arrived at the carpenters shop,
and inquired if an architect by the
name of Washington Wilberiorce lived
there.
"No," said the carpenter, "no archi-
tect; but I've got an apprentice by
that name"
"Lets see him, said the gentleman.
The young man was summoned, and
informed that his plan was accepted,
and that the two thousand dollars were
his. The gentleman then said that
the boy must put up the building /;
and his employer was so proud of his
success that he willingly gave him his
time and let him go.
The studious young carpenter be-
came one of the first architects in the
country. lie made a fortune, and
stands high in the estimation of
everybody while his fellow appren-
tioe can hardly earn food for himself
and family by his daily labor.
