FOR A MERE SONG.

The quiet of Vaudeville woods was
awakened some time since by the publication
of the Wave, and its denizens made happy
by the fact of having q newspaper of theil
own. The enterprise aourishes, and Mr. Leet,
the proprietor. made quite stir in that
locality by its success Some two months OF
more ago the number was sent out entirely
filed with praises of that delightful retreat,
followed by the statement that Gland can be
purchased for mere song"
Our friend, the waggish Clapp. of the
United States Circuit Court, saw the article,
and being DESTROYS of mending his ways and
going into the strawberry business, jumped
at the offer. He Immediately dispatched a
letter to Mr.. Leet, requesting him to set aside
about ten thousand acres for him. Clapp
went on to say that fortune had favored him,
and that host of admiring friends had
already pronounced him q success as
'singist" He therefore offered to go over to
Vaudeville on the staunch Camelia and pur-
chase the land the following Sunday by sing
ing Hail Columbia at the end of the wharf.
Nothing has ever been heard since of 'land
for a mere song"

ing.
A strapping big negro, named John De-
carde, entered coffse-house near Decatur
street and demanded drink. The bar
keeper did not refuse the drink, but demand
ed a dollar in payment.
The negro became boisterous and violent
and proceeded to demolish things Officer
Boylson was called in to arrest him. and he
went to work to demolish Officer Boylson.
He struck the officer couple of times, and
wrenching his club from him, went to work
on him with it, when the officer backed away,
drew his revolver and fired.
Although the ball did not touch him, the
negro dropped and rolled over the banquette,
and while he was undergoing this sport he
was secured and was afterwards marched to
the Third Precinct Station, where he was
locked up on the charge of disturbing the
peace and assault and battery.

We see it stated that Butler, BENJAMIN F.,

in giving next to nothing for something that
is valuable, in the old bad currency, in the

THE CHURCH AND THE MARRIAGE RELATION
The Advertiser says there is a story going the
rounds to the effect that some time ago gen.
tleman of means and education became enam-
ored of lady residing in another State and
married her. They were both Roman Catho-
lies. After some years of welded life, the
couple for reasons best known to themselves,
decided to separate. The gentleman found his
way finally to Portland and, some little time
ago, fell in owe with a member of the Catholic
church in this city. Now he found himself in
dilemma By the rules of the Romish church
while separation is permitted, no parties can
be divorced without a special dspensation
from the Pope. What then did the gentleman
do? He managed to procure divorce in the
courts, so that he could not be proceeded against
for bigamy, and married the second wife. This
lady knew nothing of her husbands previous
marriage, and all would probably have gone
smooth il the news had not reached the ears of
the first wife,
Wife No. came to Portland and interviewed
wife No. 2. A scene of course ensued, when
the second wife discovered what had happened.
The question that came uppermost was, how to
get out of the present fix? 1t is reported that
the late Bishop Bacon was applied to to secure
dispensation, as be was about to accompany
CARDINAL McCioskey 10 Rome. This report is
secuted by Catholics. because they say that
while the late Bishop might perhaps, for good
reasons, advise the granting of dispensation
for a divorce, he would not have urged it SO
that the parties should be married again.
However this may be, such is the report, and
Furthermore that owing to Bishop Bacon's i'll
Eess he was unable to attend to the matter, and
it is said that within a few days formal notice
has been received from Rome that the dispen-
sation cannot be granted, and that the second
wife must retire into a convent. This the Sec
ond wife is not inclined to do, and it now looks
as if both husband and second wife would re-
linquish the Catholic faith and become Protes-
tants in order that the second marriage may
protect them legally in the eyes of all the
world. We give the story as it is told to us.

FISH PEDDLER, PHYSICIAN AND BIGAMIsr.-
The Boston Journal says that James Fl. Thay-
er. alias James ii. Coombs, who was arrested
in Boston, as mentioned in despatch of yes
terday, for bigamy, is native of Morrill,, in
this state, and formerly peddled fish in this
city About ten months ago he opened an
Office in Lewiston and announced himself as
physician. The mother of girl named Alice
Hampton was one of his patients, and it is al.
legged that upon the occasion Of the girls being
sent 20 Coombs for medicine for her mother,
the villain drugged her and committed felo-
NOUS assault upon her. The affair created
much excitement in the community, and
COMBS was given twenty-four hours in which
to leave the city. He went to Boston, whence.
it is alleged, he wrote letters to the girl which
induced her to join him on Wednesday evening
last, aud on the following morning the pair
were married, and have since lived from hand
to mouth in squalid quarters at the North End.
Thayer does not appear to have had much
money Of his own, since he has taken $50 from
his child wife and pawned various articles to
raise the necessities of life. The girl complains
that he has repeatedly given her drugs and ap-
piled blisters to her temples on the plea that
she was threatened with fever, and the marks
of the latter attest the truth of her statements.
The father of Alice is dead, but her mother and
step-father followed her to Boston, and have
recovered their daughter, who expresses de-
sire to return home.
Thayer is reported to have had a wife and
three children, whom he deserted several years
ago. If he is not returned to Maine to be tried
for bgamy, he will be tried in Boston, as under
the statute of Massachusetts he has committed
state prison offence in enticing the girl, who
is under sixteen years of age, from her home,
and marrying her without the consent of her
narantS

TEMPERANCE IN FREEPoRT.-On Saturday
evening last a meeting was appointed to be
holden at the Town Hall, Freeport, and adj
dressed by a few members of "The Auburn
Reform Club on the subject of temperance.
When the hour arrived the hall was nearly fill
ed, some came who were deeply interested in
the cause and had long advocated the princi-
pies, but for the most part the audience con-
sisted of people who were simply prompted by
feelings of curiosity. The meeting was opened
by President fainter, who was followed by
Messrs. Frost, Mckenzie, Barnum and Laber-
ty. They labored earnestly to impress their
hearers, and with such success that at the close
when signers for the total abstinence pledge
were called for forty.nine names at once re-
sponded. A revolution had commenced and
many were moved to tears. Sunday afternoon
and evening meetings were held, with increas-
ed attendance and int rest Through the en-
beavers of the reformers men who have long
been addicted to the use of liquor came for
ward and solemnly promised, God helping
them, that the curse Of rum should never again
throw its damning shadow over their lives.
They have at last awoke to a realizing sense of
the evils of intemperance. The town is thor
oughly alive. A Reform Club is to be organic
ed at once. B.

discovery in medical science to have invented rem
edy for these stubborn complaints which develop all
the results produced by heretofore free use of cao
mel, a mineral justly dreaded by mankind, and &C.
knowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the
human system. That the properties of certain vege-
tables comprise all the virtues of calemel without its
injurious tendencies is now an admitted fact, rem
dered indisputable by scientific researches; and
those who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully salts
fed that the best medicines are those provided by
nature in the common herbs and roots of the fields.
These pills open the bowels and correct all bilious
arrangements without salvation any of the inju-
rious fleets of calomel or other posons. The secre
