A RUINED FAMILY.-The body of the woman
found in the North River proves to have been
that OF Mrs. Emma Fox, whose husband died
three weeks ago. Last summer she lived at
newport, but since the close of the season she
mas been boarding at the Everett House in this
city. Her husband, William w. Fox, was for
merly wealthy and resided in Newport, r. l.,
but spent the winters in this city. Since the
winter OF 1870 he has been hard drinker caus-
ing great sorrow to his young wife. Again
coming to New York in January, II, the hus-
band and wife became more estranged in con-
sequence OF his wife receiving number of let
tiers from Mr.. Bradford Arnold, a school
friend, whom mutual friends have since assert
ed, endeavOred by this means to widen the
preach between the husband and wife, receiv-
ing no encouragement however from the wife.
In the meanwhile Mr.. FOx's habits of life be-
came more besOtted, and Mrs. Fox's unhappi-
ness increased to such degree that she in
formed her friends that she would soon be driy-
en- to commit suicide. In the first week of
February Fox entered the Everett House with
his lawyers to obtain Mrs. Fox's signature to
some mortgage bonds for $50, 0OO His wife re-
fused to sign the bonds, the property having
been left her as an inheritance, and Fox de-
parted from the hotel in great apparent rage.
telling his vile at the same time be was going
PACK to Newport and never wished to see her
again. Mrs. Fox Immediately after her hus-
bands departure left the Everett House and
went to the house of friend. Her husband
on hearing of her disappearance returned to
this city, and died at the Everett House in
February. Mrs. Fox possessed in her own right
property worth $10O,OOO.-N. Y. dispatch.

T ALBANY, April THE fire at Weed, Par

shortly before o'clock morning in the electro

oy night Waterman. In spite of superhu-
man efforts the fire spread with fearful rapidi-
ty and in quarter of an hour after the first
alarm sounded the roof fell in, the flames
every moment gathering in volume and COM
municating to various stores beneath. So ir-
resistible was the fury of the fire, so impetuous
IN its force that in less than an hour after the

mass of burning, smoking walls. The books of

$1,000; to the Maine Baptist Educational So
ciety $1,000; to the Portland Provident AssOcia-

ard c. Hammond Of Lynn, Mass. $4,000; to his
former ward Abby II. Goodhne, daughter of
the late Rev. Geo. Leonard of Portland, $1,000;
the residue of his estate with the exception OF
an annuity of $500 per annum to his wife's Sis
ter Hannah Harris of Portland, and an annu-
ity of $500 to his own sister Elizabeth Ferris
| of Boston, together with gift of 800 to Thorn
as E. Fernald, son of James E. Fernald of
Portland, and some legacies of hundred dol
lors each to his wife's nieces) he orders shall
De equally divided between his two sons Tho
mas and William Hammond. In case of the
death OF his son Thomas before him he orders
that $l5 900 shall be paid to Sophia Hammond,
wife OF said Thomas-$10,0 900 to Thomas daugh-
ter, Harriet, wife of George Willis of Orange,

the income to be paid out to her, and upon her

proper.
The will is dated Jan'y ed, 1868, and his
son William Hammond is appointed executor.

since the will was made he thereby ratifies and
confirms the clauses in that will by which he
gave certain legacies to Thomas widow and
two daughters.
GoRHAM.-There was very large attend
ance at the concert given by the Methodist
Episcopal Society in Gorham, on Thursday
evening, on which occasion their new organ,
recently mentioned in the PRESS, was exhibit
ed and its qualities tested The concert was
under the direction of Roscoe G. Harding,
esq, the Superintendent of the Sabbath
School, and Mr. Charles A. Libby, jr.-the ac-
complished Organist of the Cathedral of the
Immaculate Conception in Portland-presded
at the new instrument, displaying its beauti-
full tones to the best advantage, and rendering
the society perfectly satisfied with their pur-
chase. The young ladies and gentlemen who
took part in the exercises afforded great pleas
IRE by the excellence of their vocal efforts,
while Miss Ada Cary of Westbrook, sang two
solos delightfully."-.
Rev. Mr. Collins, the pastor, is very popular
with his people, and we hear that an effort is
to be made shortly to build a new church to
meet the wants of this fourishing society and
the increasing demand for pews.
