BieAMY CASE. - The conspicuous
Dr." o. A. Perry, who was recently
tarred aud ieathercdat WaIlingford, and
OF which we had some account week
or Two since, was arrested lnst week at
Franklin, Mass, and brought to this
place, where his second marriage was
made with girl of fifteen from Wal
lingford. Sheriff Walter Taylor of this
place had been after him nearly a week
and brought him here on Friday, and on
Saturday afternoon he was brought be-
fore Justice j. ID. Bridgman on charge
OF bigamY. A "cloud of witnesses" ap-
peared, mostly from Wallingford, and
the examination brought out the fact
that twelve years ago he married Miss
Mary Ann Willard, had lived with her
during most OF this time, and by whom
he had five children, two of whom they
had buried, and the other three are now
living. He left her at Leominster, Mass,
and went to practice medicine" in
Wallingford, and occasionally wrote her
letters, and it was not till within few weeks
thatshe had suspected him of any un-
faithfulness. The defence of Perry was
that he had never been legally married
to her /! He made no denial of having
lived with her as his wife, and that she
had borne his children. at about 8
o'clock Saturday evening, he waived fur
Their examination and gave bail in the
sum of 5000, which was furnished by
his brother. Z. E. Arnold, States at
torney for the prosecution, w. S. Myers,
G. B. Eddy and Ebenezer Fisher of Cut
tingsville counsel for defense So far as
the defendant is concerned it seems to be
a rare case of cold blooded rottenness
and desertion.

Board of Trade, with Hon. Levi Under

already the merchants are reaping much
convenience from it in sending goods to
their customers in the various parts of
the town, while strangers are much more
easily directed about town.

CHANGE OF LoCATIoN.-We regret
very much to announce that Messrs.
Clark & Chapman, who have long been
among our leading and most enterplising
business men, last week made arrang-
ments by which they will eventually re-
move their entire business to Turner's
Falls in the town of Montague, Mass,
where they have leased a nice water
power for running their machinery, &C.
Their removal includes their entire bust
ness, machine shop, wood work, foundry
and iron works generally. For many
years they have employed from eighteen
to twenty-five hands, and their business
is likely to be still larger at their new
location. Their shops at Turner's Falls
are to be built new the coming season.
Mr.. Clark does not contemplate removal
himself for the present, but Mr.. Chap
man will go soon, and Mr.. Gilmore fore
man of the foundry department, together
with other employees will follow. We
trust the shops thus vacated by them
here are not to stand idle, and hope some
business will be Immediately put into
them, so that the gain of Turner's Falls
shall not prove our total loss at least.

CHESTER. H. II. Ingraham has sold his
hotel to George ii. Cole of Ludlow, for
$780, and Mr. Cole has taken posses
sion. For more than seven years the In
graham House has sustained reputation
second to none in the State and the gen.
ial face of Henry became known far and
wide among the travelling community,
but to one who like your correspondent,
has made the Ingraham his home, (and
found it truly home) though many of
these years his presence and his face has
almost become part of his being, al
most bone of his bone and flesh of his
flesh, and though Mr.. Cole comes with a
good reputation and displays the requi-
site traits of good landlord, yet there
will be an empty placein theinner shrine
that belonged to Henry, and which no
other one will FILL May the lines fall to
him in pleasant places wherever he may
go. Your correspondent always felt if
any one inquired of him for the best ho-
tel and the best stable that he could
safely say Ingraham's Hotel and Per-
hams Stable and now one has changed /;
he hopes "Old Gun" will not desert the
other.
The weather has at last taken to itself
happier airs, and we notice with pleasure
that our friend Barrett of Prospect Hill
is improving it daily by driving through
our streets in his tasteful Phaton.
1t will be remembered that on the
night of the 18th of April the store of
Coleman Saunders near the depot was
burglariously entered and some one hum
dred dollars worth of ready made cloth
ing therefrom, circumstances at the time
pointed to one Daniel Mack of Wind
ham as the operator but he escaped ar
rest for time, but has recently been ar
rested by Dept. Sheriff Spaulding who
has shown many fine qualities as a de-
tective in the management of this case
and on the 18th inst, Mack was brought
before Simeon Sherwin Esq, at the Office
of Hugh Henry and pleading guilty to
the crime of Burglary, was bound up to
the County Court in the sum of $780,

An Ode to Apple Pie.

DEDICATED TO THE RETIR
ING LANDLADY OF THE INGRAHAM
HOUSE. CHESTER
Let others sing maiden's charms
And languish in her eye.
My sterner heart to thee still warns
Oh. matchless apple pie.
Thy rounded top is fsirer far.
Than ever maiden's bust
And whittier than e'er maiden's cheek
Thy bilowy. faky crust.
And sweeter far than maiden's breath
Fer seemed in poets dream.
Creeps the soft breath Of spices out
Thy iiaky crust between
Thus ever through this weary world
where'er my path shall lie.
Ny thoughts viii fondly backward turn
To thee. thou matchless pie.

SAD CASE OF DRowNING.-As sad case
OF drowning occurred in this place on
Tuesday afternoon. Several Rivermen
were engagedin getting logs over the dam
above Sullivan railroad bridge, when
Cheever Jones fell in, was carried over
the dam and foated down the river some
hundred rods to the rapids Just above
the Falls and was seen no more. 1t is
probable that the body went over the
Falls. 1t has not yet been found. He
was seen with head above water several
times struggling TO save himself and cry
ing for help, the last cry being made Just
as he entered the rapids. The water is
very swift all the way from the dam to
the rapids, and nothing was or could be
done to save him. 1t was thought that
his legs were broken by the fall among
the logs, as he did not appear to have
the use of his limbs, as seen by those on
the bank of the river.
lie belonged to party of seven Riv-
ermen who were engaged ip driving logs
down the river to Holyoke. Mr.. Jones
was thirty-three years Of age, and his
home was in Claremont, N. H., where he
leaves wife and four children-all
boys-the oldest being but nine years, and
who are left with but little for their sup
port, and the case as it became known
excited much sympathy throughout the
village. He had an experience of some
seven years as riverman mostly on the
Merrimack river, where he had himself
saved several persons from drowning,
which fact seems tn add to the sadness
of his case in floating with courage so
far and no power or help to save him.
