The Jones Family Again.

Mr.. Jones, of whom we made brief
mention last week, left our quiet city
the same day his name appeared in
the GAZETTE. We propose to give
Mr.. Jones the benefit of another free
advertisement. There are two gem
tlemen i'm the city, who are acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Jones and his family, i'm
Buffalo. N. Y, and they say be has a
respectable wife and children there.
1t this be true, and we have no rea-
son to doubt it, Mr.. Jones is regular
old salt We advise our lady
readers, who may he looking out for
IA rich widower, to keep u sharp eye
on Mr.. Jones, rs he has quite enough
Dulcinas following him now, To use
up his spare change. Mr.. Jones is u
heavy built man, medium height,
with whiskers under the chm and
extending back to the lower end of
his ears; supports a stove pipe hat,
and breadclotb from top to toe. p

looking man, aud his looks don't de-

nefc wives before his first one is dead.

MIR Jones is man of nerve, or he
cou dn't brave the dangers of having
two 6etoced wife claimants baying on
his track. One of them declared that
she felt like tearing her rival in
pieces, but Mr.. Jones stood like tall
oak amid the storms, bidding def.
ance. Mr.. Jones is man of some
sense, as the following will prove. =
Last week, after tile GAZETTE was
out, lac got man TO pilot him to our
Office, and approached us with huge
CANE in his hand, and i'm a some
what agitated style. He asked ns
If We ''wrote that piece" We
answered " Yes, sir" Said he, twill
you go with me and see Mrs. Jones
No. 2" We answered aiiirmatively
"She will tell you" said Mr.. Jones,
THAT she is not my wife" We went
with him, and was ushered into the
presence of Mrs. Jones No. /. Mr..
Jones locked the door, aud informed
her that we wrote tire article in ques-
ton, and he desired her 10 deny the
facts therein stated" which she
perslstently refused to do. And here
was where Mr.. Jones showed his good
sense, for he acknowledged that he
could not consistently ask us to take
back what we had said.
Mrs. Jones No. !, Is rather, fine
looking woman, and deported her
self Ito all outward appearance in a
lrdy-iike manner, and no u0rd nor
action, during her stay, would indi-
cate anything but confiding young

fastened itself OIL the community
that she was the legal Wife of Jones,

we have nothing To say. Mrs. Jones

would have a Roman nose but for
one thing, and that is, the bow" is

If these two women are his wives,
and he has still another in Buffalo

bigamy and sent To States Prison.
