other varieties that for once our market

a DenGh-bed Discovery of big
amy.

L heard recently of a case of bigamy in
the neighboring city of Lynn, which, L
believe, has not been mentioned in the
newspapers, but which is probably one Of
the most remarkable on record in the
country. The husband of two wives in
this case was resident of Lynn, who, at
the outbreak of the war, obtained a clerk
ship in the Treasury Department at
Washington. He continued to hold this
position until his death, which occurred
not very long ago. When he went to
Washington he left wife behind him,
she having the care of relative with
whom she lived, and not wishing to take
up her residence at the Capital. This
arrangement was continued for fourteen
years, the husband making an annual
visit and passing his vacation with his
wife at her home in Lynn. The charac-
ter OF the man was respectable, and no
one ever suspected that he had unlawful
marital relations. On the occasion of
his last visit to his home he was taken
violently sick, and after short illness he
died. A day or two before his death, a
letter was received from Washington
directed to him, and as he was uncon-
scious, his wife opened it. 1t informed
her that the man who lay dying before
her had another wife in Washington, who
was the mother of two children. 1t was
the first intimation she ever received of
the fact (Which she learned upon further
inquiry that he had been living for sew
eral years in very quiet manner with a
lady IN Washington, who was, moreover,
respectable, and utterly unaware that she
was the wife of a bigamist. All the facts
in the case are fully substantiated. -

Got Even.

D. w. Perley, Jr., in company with
some twenty others, recently attended
rodeo at Willow creek, and their
first night at that place perhaps will
not be forgotten by those present for
some time to come. The boys feeling
little playful, took Perley by main
force and carried him to the middle
of the stream and sOused him all over
in the running brook. That was all
right, and night being near at hand
the party concluded to camp. A long
days journey, y little ''sheep heriers'
deIightn made them all steep except
Perley, who was determined OIL re-
venge. Taking the cook into his con-
f1dence, by "heeling" him, the two
waited until the balance OF the party
were sound asleep, then sallying forth
they went up the creek some distance
and commenced effective operations
to turn the stream of water from it's
natural channel, and let it run down
on the sleepers below. The most Of
the night was consumed in this effort
and the boys all declare that Perley
must have worked harder that night
than ever before. Toward morning,
when everything was in readiness,
the dam was made effective, and the
water was sent in torrent through
the artificial ditch to the dreaming
sleepers below, who were literally
soaked before making their escape.
Cold, wet and sleepy, they waited for
daylight, when it was discovered that
Perley was missing. 1t is said that
he and the cook have entered into
coparnership as civil engineers, while
the balance of the party discuss very
learnedly the capacity of bitches and
their mode of construction White

The Langnlaid Murder.

The authorities have spent the past
week in trying to detect the murderer OF
Josie Langmaid at Suncook, n H., but
no certain proof has yet appeared.
Drew who was arrested at first on suspi-
cion has been released, though when first
arrested there was a strong feeling to
lynch him. Two or three others have
also been arrested aud released. The
last arrest has excited much interest,
lie is Frenchman named Joseph La
page, against whom some circumstances
appear. He was in the woods on the
day of the murder, and up to this time
has not accounted for himself during the
forenoon Of the murder. He is also one
Of those arrested for the Ball murder at
st. Adams, where he was at the time that
murder was committed. His presence
IN both places at the time the murders
were committed is certainly remarkable.
The st. Adams authorities have been at
work with those in New Hampshire. to
obtain evidence in either case. His rep,
utation in st. Adams has not been Of the
best, being known as a dissolute charac-
ter. A prominent gentleman from that
town states that Lapage left there last
spring, abandoning his family, who sub
sequently decamped, His whereabouts
were not known until within few weeks.
when it was ascertained that he was re-
siding in the vicinity of Suncook, N. II.
The st. Adams authorities at once notl.
fed the detectives who were working up
the Langmaid case, and through this
means he was arrested. St. Adams par
ties with important papers have come
down to Pembroke, and thorough can
vass of both cases will be made, so that
all the important evidence bearing on
the case may be concentrated to discover
if he be the guilty party.
CONCORD, n. H., Oct. IS. Joseph
Denear and party of Frenchmen from
Suncook have been here to-day attempt
ing to prove an abb for Lapage, now in
custody under suspicion of being con-
nected with the Pembroke murder. Their
evidence was not sufficient to release
him, the suspicious circumstances being
as strong as ever against him.
