ARREsTED.-On Saturday morning
last, Constable McClelland and Mr.. Jno
Dougherty, of Clearfeld, arrived in this
place and arrested one Samuel Ryan, on
the charges Of Bigamy and Adultery.
These charges are made by his wife at
Lock Haven. Clinton county, Pa, to
which place he was taken for trial. The
facts in this sad case, as near as we can
learn, are as follows: Some time in
1871, Ryan was married, at Lock
Haven, to Miss Lide TresheT; but
strange as it may seem, their matrimon-
ial course was not of the smoothest
nature, and but two mouths had passed
when they parted. In December 1871,
Ryan came to this place, and was here
but a short time when he made the
acquaintance Of respectable young
lady-whose name we will not mention
at this time-to whom he paid his atteu-
tion until July, 1872, when, by false
representations, he induced her to be-
come his bride. And with her, to all
appearances, he has lived happily ever
since until arrested on Saturday last.
Thus the case stands at present, but the
end is not yet.-Brookville Jefersonian,
23rd ult.

ARRESTED FOR AMY.-Saturoay
last Samuel Ryan, for more than year
past resident Of Brookville, was arres-
ted by officers from Centre county, on a
warrant sworn out by lady claiming to

them to answer the chaage of Bigamy
and desertion. Ryan was employed as
baker by Mr.. Thos Cartin when he first
came to this place, aud some ten months

ED. Elk ADvocATE:-Sir:-I have in my
possession piece Of wood taken from the
mamoth tree in California The bit of wood
of course has no intrinsic value except as
a relic, have it from friend who vouches
for its genuiness, and says without seeing
the monster tree one can hardly strain the
inauguration to fully realize its magnitude.
1t can truly be called the giant of the
forest, as it is the largest tree on record
and probably the largest the world has ever
produced It's diameter is forty feet,
length of trunk to the first limb, 500 feet,
it is supposed to have fallen many centuries
ago, is hollow and excursiOnists drive in at
the butt, and after after ride of hun
dred yards immerge with horses and car
rage through knot t,nole. If it were
sound it would contain nearly half a million
cubit feet. Our teams are too small in this
county to stock logs of that size. There
are other trees thirty feet in diameter,
some of them have been felled by boring
them off. An Alleghany pine is mere
riding switch compared with one of those
huge monsters. A. W. G.
