MAN MUCH MARRIED. Sensation IN
Machias-The Machias Republican says:-"A
rather romantic affair came off In this town
last Saturday. We think Machias never had
similar case. Friday afternoon, May 18th, a
woman of rather prepossessing appearance
came tie town in the boat from Portland. She
was directed to the Lawrence House rs a
proper place for woman and her son, a boy
about fourteen years of age, with her. Satur-
day morning she called for the Chief of Police,
to whom she had letter from the Chief of
Police in Boston Mr.. John A. Capen, con-
stable, was sent for, and he referred the woman
to Trial Justice, to whom she made known
the fact that she was in search of husband,
to whom she was lawfully married in the city
of Cork, Ireland, in 1860, and who had come to
this country more than ten years ago, proving
unfaithful, as so many Others have done before
him. He married in Lawrence, Mass, palming
himself off as a single man, While living
with this woman he removed to Machias
where she died. He subsequently married
another woman in Lubec, and one child was
born to them, they living in this town. The
name OF the man who could so leave wife
and boy in Ireland, and come to this country
thus to sport with the affections of other
women, is John Treagy. fancy painter and
grainer. Mrs. Treagy the first, after seeing
Naiiouo poopie, ANU tellluS tnem all ABOUT IL IN
confidence, sent message to her faitaess
spouse, that lady wished to see him at the
Lawrence House. He came at once, and was
ushered into the presence of the woman he had
deserted ten or twelve years ago. What tran
spired between these parties in this interview
has not been told. No interviewer was pres
emit But Sunday afternoon is was rumored
that Treagy had left for parts unknown. Mrs.
Treagy called upon wife No. g. and offered to
take her child, but she refused to give it up.
She left on the boat last Monday morning for
Boston, where she represents herself as being
employed. Her son is fine looking lad of
some fourteen years. Whether her husband
left to go with her. is not known. When she
first came, her only idea seemed to b to
punish Treagy. We have an idea, however,
that she did not stick to that, but induced her
husband TO abandon the third woman and to
go with her. Wherever he may have gone, he
deserves punishment. He was good work
man, but inclined to obliviousness, on account
of strong drink. We understand that wife
No. does not mourn very much, nor regret
the somewhat rude severance of the bond of
matrimony, as she had seen about enough to
satisfy her that said Treagy might as we'll go as
not. Although the parties came from Ireland,
they had much more the appearance of Eng
lish than Irish.''

KITTERY NAVY YARD-The Washington
special of the Boston Journal says that the con-
tinuance of the New England navy yards was
one of the subjects which came up for discus.
sion on Saturday afternoon in the House, when
the naval appropriation bill was under consid.
GRAFTON. Mr.. Hale gave notice of an amend
ment, restoring the Kittery Navy Yard, which
had been left out of the bill, and Mr.. Burleigh
soon afterwards gave some excellent reasons
why this should be done. This brought up Mr..
Randall chairman of the Committee on Ap.
preparations, who reminded Mr. Burlei Oh that
he had never heard more complete condemna.
ton of the Kittery Navy Yard than from him.
Running back through his Congressional hsto-
ry and the remarks made by him in reference
to that yard, the committee found reason why
that yard and the administration of everything
connected with it should be suspended, (which
is what is asked if not rooted out. Being
aware of the condemnation pronounced hereto
fore by Mr. Burleigh, the committee had cut it
OFT from any appropriation.
Mr.. Burleigh admitted that he had condemn
ed the Kittery yard, because there was fraud
there, and asserted that at recent examin atoms
the Committee on Naval Affairs had found
fraud and corruption there which more than
substantiated the statements which he had
made, but frauds had also been found at the
Philadelphia yard. He went on to briefly state
that the Kittery yard is not surpassed by any
navy yard in the country for its facilities for
shipbuilding.

now on exhibition at Schumacher's, and t o be
sold Thursday, is one by Hewes of Boston,
Crooks at Cushing's Island" in which one of
those beautiful fog effects so familiar to the
frequenters of our coast is given. The sun is
lowering through the thick mist which envel-
opes the distance in haze, and which by con-
trast renders the foreground objects more than
ordinarily prominent. The rocks and water
are carefully executed and the bit of pebbly
beach on the left is piece of realistic paint
ing.
In the same fine collection Ordway has a
view of Old Orchard Beach, cold in tone but
Faithfully and carefully handled, and giving
the very feeling of grey day blythe sea shore.
Cryus F. Davis of this city, contributes a
charming study of nature, a sunset view sketch
ed in shadows and solidly painted, which,
while strongly realistic, is full of sentiment
Harry Brown has in the collection two or three
characteristic marines, soft and warm in color,
bold and correct IN drawing, and infused with
the very feeling of the sea.
