CORRESPONDENCE New York Times l.
PoughkeepSie, June 20.-In the case of The
bigamist ConLarini, information has been
received from the editor of the Richmond
Wing Dispatch that nc was there during
the rebellion, and assumed the role of Ma
Jor in the Confederate Army. He ordered
il full Majors suit, for which he did not pay.
lie is quite defiant, and in the face of the
strongest proof guZcS impudcntly about
him. His career i'll New Jerseyis most mys-
tcriouS. When he was married to Miss Di =
ton, of this city, lie caused his name to
appear in the marriage notice of Louis Gui-
seppe Contarini, a. NJ, NJ. D., of Switzer-
land. In various places he has assumed to
be physician, and in one place it is hntcd he
so denorted himself that he WAS compelled
hastily to leave. The case now presents one
singular feature. The prosecution was or
dcred by Mr.. Diston, the father Of the girl.
He Is an honest. Woodworking old man, and
ll along has believed Contarini to be viii
lain. Yet the pleadiDgS oft daughter, who
believes the man with whom she has be-
come infatuated to be innocent, have in-
duccd the father to aid her in his defence,
aud thus the old man bears the burdens of
both sides OF the legal fight, though he can
ill afford to do SO. The case came up again
this morning, the mother OF Louisa Eickes,
wife No. /, having arrived from New York
as witness. The prisoner was not brought
out, his physician declaring him ill with
fever and ague. His counsel moved an ad-
journment Of the case for one month, but
the court denied the motion, and held him
to bail in the sum of 81, $40 to await the
action OF the grand jury, which meets in
August. After this decision the mother of
Louisa visited the prisoner in his cell and ut
once identified him. .

Following this was a vocal gem. g Wait.
Ing" by Miss Kate Dudley, and the over.
ture to "Lodaiska," by Miss A. F. Birchett
and Prof. Ambold. These were deseryediy
well received. The "Echo Song" by Miss
Rena Stearns, was enthusiastically ap-
piaudcd, and was sweetly sung. An instru-
! mental piece by Miss E. Carroll, who is m
excellent performer on the piano, was suc-
cceded by Mr. w. Fl. Grants rendition
OF ;" The Heart Bowed Down "a male
voice affording rather an agreeable variety
to the entertainment. The next-a fam
tasie from Martha-was played well by
Miss Florence Easley, and was loudly ap-
plauded. A duett from 81 Puritani," by
Miss Mary Sale and Prof. Siebert, which
brought the first part Of the entertainment
tOa close, was scientifically rendered.
The "Invitation to Dance" Ode We
ber.) formed a sprightly prelude to the Sc
cond part. 1t was played on two pianos
by Misses L. Nalle, +. Jackson, NJ. Pat
rick, and +. Easley. Then came a sweet
and plaintiff song, '.The Return,"
which was so charmingty sung by
Miss A. F. Birchett that it not
only elected applause, but an enthusi-
astic encore. After this the Misses Carroll
again made their appearance and played n
difficult piece by Thalberg. "Tis Not
True" sung by Miss Patrick, was prettier
than we ever thought it before, and the
piano solo by Miss Nalle was one Of the
best features of the entertainment. Messrs.
Chamberlayne and Dimmock sang "Com-
rade, Your Hand" to the perfect satisfac-
ton of an audience even more critical than
that Of the opera, and Professors Thilow
and Siebert played 4 beautiful violoncello
and piano duet. The performance closed
with a grand duo concert for two pianos,
which, rendered by Miss Garrett and Pro-
fessor Siebert, left most agreeable impress
sion upon our minds.
We have rarely attended more pleasing
musical entertainment, and felt quite will
ing to excuse its length. The pupils in
every instance reflected great credit upon
their instructors in both vocal and instru-
mental music. Traces Of the pains taking
an6 intelligent instruction of Mrs. Locker
man could easily be discerned in the we'll
trained voices and clear articulation of
those who furnished the vocal part Of the
entertainments.

forty by fifty feet In width. No outlet for
the water has been discovered. Above the
canal, in wood, three apertures were
discovered averaging twenty by twenty
live feet in diameter. Rocks and trees
were swallowed up in these cavities. The
trunks OF the trees were entirely hidden
from the eye, while the tops were visible
through the soft earth, like trees lust

surface OF the earth below the canal to the

"Wednesday morning under rather peculiar
circumstances. A colored man by the
name Of VIM. Smith went to John MYERS
to buy some sheep brains, and Myers in
stead sold him lot Of hog brains. Meet
ing him afterwards, Smith found out the
trick that had been played uopn him, and
as matter of course took offence at it.
Myers thought it u good joke, and gave to
Smith the nickname off, Brains" which
was rather more than Smith could stand, as
it was taken up and used by many persons
in the market. eaccordingly determined
to ayenge his wrongs, which he did by in
flicting several cuts on Myers's person
about the abdomen. The parties appeared
before Justice White yesterday, VINO, after
full hearinsof the case, decided to send
Smith on to the grand jury, which meets
