TIE new York DOUBLE MARRIAGE
Cross, the Bigamist, stu Misssng.-The
New York World, In referring to this re-
markable case of bigamy, noticed In the
Star, says that the story has "produced q
profound sensation In the extensive circles
of acquaintance of Mr.. Calvin r. Cross,
the principal actor in the drama which may
already have proved tragedy. The ut
most establishment was expressed by the
friends Of the young man and his family,
his business acquaintance. and his employ
ers. No tidings Of his whereabouts or his
fate have been received. He may be either
III this city or its neighborhood. or, rs many
OF his friends appear to think, he may have
taken passage on a steamer for Europe.
All, however, is surmisc. 1t is said
that Miss Emma Luckcy, or Mrs. Cal
win r. Cross the second, is living in retire
ment in Brooklyn. She is said to be worth
about 500, coo in her own right, and to he
related to the very wealthy Livingston
family, 1t appears that Cross came to this
city from Rhode Island when he was but
eighteen years Of age. 1t is asserted that
the present il the sixth marriage engage
ment he has made since he was married to
his first wife. After his arrival in this city
be went to board in Union Square, and it
was here, two or three years subsequently,
that he became acquainted with his first
wite--then Miss Calvin, of Boston. He was
then employed by the dry goods firm of Il.
D. Campbell & Co. Upon the organization
of the Central Bank he took position as
check clerk. and was soon after promoted
to the position of book-keeper."

LONDON, Jan. 25.-(Herdld special 1.-THE
news from Paris reports that the city was
placarded on the ed with calls for mob,
but only about 500 disorderly persons as
semhled at the place designated-the Hotel
de Vile. Subsequently the force of troops
for the protection of the Hotel de Vile was
strengthened.
The new war Committee is about organ
izing.
Gen. Trochu, it is understood, has placed
himself in the hands of the Provisional
Government, saying, with tears in his eyes,
'Do with me what you will
In the meantime, O rumOr prevails That
Jules Favre has opened negotiations with
Bismarck for capitulation.
It is stated that Favre, in dispatch to
Odo Russell, declines to leave Paris.
The sortie on the 10Th is said to have been
the bloodiest work for the French since the
beginning of the siege.
THE SIEGE OF LoNGwY-THE TOWN IN FLAMES.
LONDON, Jan. "a, 7 p. M.-An extensive
conflagration was raging in LongWy yester.
day. The flames were visible all night, and
to-day the town is still burning. In the
meanwhile the bombardment goes on with
out relaxation.
THE PRUssIAN REVERSE AT DION.
DION, Jan. 23.-The defeat of the Prus-
slams on Sunday was complete. They re-
treated towards Messigny, No1rges, savigne,
and La Jue in the West. The troops I'M.
der Ricciotti Garibaldi destroyed the 61st
Prussian regiment. The French behaved
heroically.
The Prussians have evacuated Alencon,

THE CHURCH AND THE STAGE.-The Lew

IHE CHURCH AND THE STAGE.-lne Lew
istown (penn.) True Democrat says:
A little episode occurred in the Lutheran
church Of this place on Sunday night, 10th
instant, which is worth mentioning. AS the
evening service was about to close the pas
tor took occasion to admoniSh his congrega-
ton against attending the exhibitions being
given in the Town Hall by Il minstrel
troupe, and in his remarks denounced the
show rs 4 low, vulgar, or indecent concern.
1t so happened that half dozen members OF
the troupe were present, and no sooner had
Mr.. Brown concluded than up jumps one
of the showmen, who, after apologzins for
the interruption, stated that it was his
bounden duty then and there to deny IN
toto the imputations made against the
troupe by the pastor. The company, he
said, was proper one, and the performance
not only decent, but entirely moral in all
its appointments. Moreover" said the
Snowman, 81 am 4 member of Il church
myself. and | know Of no wrong do in be-
longing to this show" Of course such 4
DEPRESSION from the usual order OF things
created IN immense sensation, and various
outburts of sentiment were made all over
the church. One member told the minister
not to get excited, whilst others COM
manded the Snowman to sit down. The
whole affair was over in 4 few minutes, Tor
the Snowman, after "saying his say"
quietly resumed his seat. But the town
had something to talk about next day, and
the effect of such conspicuous advertising
was, the Town Hall ut Monday nights cX-
hibtion was full to overlooking.
