FIVE TINES MARRIED.

WISCONSIN BIGAMIsT-PREACHING THE
GOSPEL DOES NOT PREVENT A REVEREND
SCAMP FROM MARRYING FIVE WOMEN.
The Lacrosse Democrat gives the follow
ing as the record of reverend pretender in
that state: The Rev. Mr.. Jones, alias Bone
steel, al Advent minister, who has been
doing some pretty tall preaching this winter
up at the Corners. in the town of Farming
ton, this county, is wanted by the father of
his last wife. In fact, he is wanted so badly
that the sheriff and under sheriff of Trempe-
leau county, our own sheriff and two
deputies are now puttinp in all the spare
time they have in looking for him, but so
far the search has been in vain. If
our information is correct, this Rev.
Adventis is muchly married man.
1t seems that a year ago he used to live in
Hanover, n. Y, where he married his first
wife. He soon abandoned her and moved
to AndOver, in the same state, where be
soon married another wife, and yet the first
one was living. He soon became tired of
No. 2, and came West to grow up with the
country, and settled in Wincna, MINI. Here
he married glrl, which was wife No. 3, and
she soon died. he waslegitimately widowed
that time, but soon had married another
wife No, 4. a daughter of Mr. wisey, of that
place. Still being of rowing disposition he
left her and came over to Wisconsin. In
Winona he preached under the name of the
Rev. Jones, but once on this side of the
river he addressed his followers under
THE NAME OF REV. BoNEsTEEL.
he soon married sgain-wife No. 8, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Hsrdie, living six miles above
GalesbuTgh. and went up to the Corners, in
Pennington, and has been preaching there
regularly this winter. In the meantime Mr..
Hardie found out something of the reverend
gentleman's history, swore ont g war
rant, and put the officers after him,
but the willy husband of five wives,
four of whom are now living. stepped down
and out" of his pulpit at the Corners last
week, and has not been seen since, and in
consequence there was no meeting held at
the above place last Sabbath. We have no
doubt that while he is sitting on the ragged
edge" he wishes "himself dead" by this
time, and is perhaps sollioquizing that
he may have preached his last sermon. If
he is found there will not be much
difficulty in proving the charges, as the two
last wives are living within 20 miles of each
other. His advent in any new locality was
generally signaliZed by taking unto himself
new wife, until now he fees from all, and
may yet be heard of in new "ields and pas
lures green," when il would seem No. will
be in order. Thus has another shining light
been e1tiuguished, and we have no idea that
even Brooklyn jury would. when he's
brought to trial, acquit HIM. 1t is indeed
too bad. and we refrain from further re-
marks this time.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

& LADY MANAGES To LIVE TwENTY-THEEE
YEARS WITH THREE PINS IN HER BODY.
The Louisiana Press gives the following
as authentic: One of the most remarkable
cases we remember to have ever read or
heard of came under our observatiohn Sat
urdsy, which we shall here pro-
ceed TO relate: Twenty three years
ago the wife of Mr.. L. p. Brown.
of the firm OF Weir & Brown, then
child of seven years OF age, swallowed
three pins by accident. For the last fifteen
years she has suffered the most excruciating
pains, and last summer her life was des-
paired OF, but by care and the best OF medi-
cal attention she partially recovered. Some
six weeks ago small sore appeared on her
right side just above the upper hip point,
from which matter commenced running oo-
casionally. Last Saturday morning upon
getting out of bed she felt what seemed TO DO
the point Of some instrument protrud-
Ing. Mr. Brown, her husband. examined 1t
and discovered the end of a dark-colored
substance. He Immediately summoned
DIR. Stewart, who upon his arrival applied
pair of small pinchers to the point and
drew out one of the identical pins Mrs.
Brown had swallowed twenty-three years
kind of bony substance. distance and nd
with the exception Of being dis-
colored was otherwise the same as
when first swallowed. Mrs. Brown has a
very vivid recollection of swallowing the
pins, one of which was perfectly straight
and the other two crooked. Since writing
the above we learn that DIR. Stewart, in prob
ing the wound made by the pin which has
been recovered, discovered one other of the
pins some two inches beneath the surface,
but was unable to extract it with his instru-
ments, and will have to, ia all probability,
cut into whereft lies. Mrs. Brown, under
the circumstances attending these painful
operations, is doing remarkably well, and
we frost viii entirely recover.

Geo. Grsncis A. Walker, OF Yale College,
late superintendent of the United states

utmost value 10 the United States census

our country is about TO decline in wealth

ever has occurred to render necessary anything more
than n prudent supervision, and this is given by
pleasant companiorship, without any appearance OF

itself mainly in general mental fcebleness and

MORE ATTACHMENTS.

| of the imprisoned Boss there must be just now

the vengeance of the pillaged city will not be
satisfied until the last of the guilty band has
been taken by the collar and Searched for
stolen money. Actions have been instituted
against Court house Commissioners Walsh and
| Conan to recover something like half million
of dollars, distracted from the treasury through
their agency, and attachments have been granted
against their property, each Ofthose distinguished
Ring statesmen having fortunately invested
his earnings in real estate upon which the law
can readily lay its hand. 1t is striking illus
tration of the extent of the Ring populations
that person like Walsh should have obtained
as his individual share of the plumber more
than thirty lots in the upper part of the city,
besides real estate in Wcstchestcr County and
Brooklyn, and that Mr.. Tom Conan should be
still at this late day the pOsscssOr Of a
number of houses and valuable lots sub
ject to seizure. When the subOrdinates

enormous must have been the populations of
the leaders. And if Walsh and Conan are 80
rich, it is evident that there must he Il great
standing, some of them almost forgotten by
the public, whom it might pay to search, and
whose time, indeed is probably coming very soon
No doubt the majority of these men have
