ARREST FOR BIaAMY.-A case of bigamy
has just bseen developed in Falmouth and the
guilty party arrested. His name is John P.
Quincy, a farmer about % years of age, who
owns good farm and house at Piscataqua
corner in that town. His first wife, who died
some years since, was lady of estimable char
acter and of highly respectable connection.
Quincy himself is smart, Sactive, intelligent
man, but seems to have got himself involved
with several women in such manner that it
was not easy to extricate himself About six
the name of Murchie, whom he found in this
city. Either the next day or day or two af
ter he went to New Hampshire with girl by
the name of Mary Ann Dnffeee, who had enter
ed bastardy complaint against him and then
married him. He took the Duffe girl to his
house in Falmouth, but the Murche girl re.
manned in this city at work. A short time
since he came in here and endeavored to per-
suade the Murchie girl to go home with him
and occupy room in his house, so all three
might live together. She however refused. He
seems latterly to have become somewhat tired
OF the Duffee girl, and she it was entered the
complaint against him Saturday, iDstigated by
the tact that he conveyed to the Murchie girl
his land in Falmouth, and having heard that
he was going to.run away. Yesterday after
noon Deputy Sheriff Adams met him upon the
street ana arrested him. At the sheriff's Of
flee the Duftee girl claimed that he owed her
some money and in consequence Miss Mnrchip
re conveyed to Quincy the property he had
given her and he gave it to Miss Duffee. Yes.
ferdav forenoon he was brought before Tr;al
Justice Dearborn at Falmouth, and bound
over to await trial at the Superior Court in
Observation-Disclosures.

BOSTON. July 25.-The weeks shipments of Boot
and Shoes to places outside of New England f5o
up to 81 $50 cases. against AZ 432 cases tor the samt
week of last year.
The total shipment from this m erket since JAN
nave been 59 cases, against 5S0S7 cases for til,
same period last year. A'
The shipments from Lynn for he week have beer
262 cases, against 1854 for the corresponding
week last year.
The shipments from, Haverhill for the week have
been 1852 cases, against ZIG for the same week
last year. WYNN
The fail trade in Boots and Shoes h IS been prose-
cuted vigorously by those representatives of the va
1lous distributing markets now here. Purchases OF
nearly all descriptions Of ssasonable goods have been
LIBERAL and large orders for future delivery have Also
been placed. Mems boots have been in brisk request
and large quantities have been sold to the Western
trade: there has also been very firm demand for
brogans and similar goods for mems wear although
tue saie has not been equal to that OF some former
seasons. As the stock of these goods was Compare
lively Light, we think prices have not been quite so
close to cost as they were last The Haverhi
and Lynn manufacturers have sold their stocks up
closely an! have taken orders to kesp shem busy a
month or two hence. Prices of machine sewed shoes
have been quite satisfactory and future prospect
Is very encouraging. Slippers sold up closely,
and mems slippers especially held rmy The
trade are purchasing jud ciously, and as the stocks
in retailers hands ATE light throughout the West
manufacturers are likely to be busily engaged
thu oughout the season.

NEW YORK.
Big Price for the Times.

New York, July 26.-The Brooklyn Union
this evening Gays: We have the highest au-
thority for saying that prominent member of
the ring called upon the principal proprietor of
the New YORK Times week or two since and
made a startling offer for the copy right of the
paper. He was told that there was not money
enough in New York city to buy the Times.
A day or two after Tammany Republican
called on the same gentleman and offered one
million dollars on the part of the ring if the
Times would keep silence concerning the
frauds it is now unearthing.
Loan for Docks.
The New York loan for the construction of
docks and piers has been taken up by the In
