POlyandrOus PAMELA.

The town of Coventry, Connecticut.
has brought a suit against the town of
Manchester, for the support of an al
legged pauper named PATHS PAMELA
Anthony, and the woman herself has
made deposition which shows a re
markable career of married life. The
case is before Judge Carpenter, of Hart
ford, as arbitrator. According to her
story, she married July 5, 1885, William
Bly,, of Springfield, Mass, who left her
three days after. Six weeks later she
heard he was dead, and on February 4
OF the next year she married David l..
Rogers, of Hadlyme, Conn. She lived
with Rogers six months when BLY,, the
dead man, appeared, but was bought up
and gave quitclaim to Rogers for sill
yer watch and five dollars. About two
years after Rogers went to sea, and six
months following his departure Mrs
Rogers heard that he had been hanged
as pirate. Finding single life hanging
heavily on her hands she married. in
March, 1871, Frederick A. Wheeler.
who now lives in Manchester, Mass
Six months after this marriage Rogers.
the hanged pirate, came back ousted
Wheeler, and lived with PAMELA till
October, 1849, when he died. In March
1900, she married Henry Myers, of Viii,
llamsburg, n. Y, and got divorce in
March, 1857, and in the same wear mar
rled james Davis and moved to Wiscon
sin: She lived with him several years
and got divorce. She then married
Richard Marshall, somewhere out West.
lived with him seven years, and got an
other divorce. Then coming back IN
Connecticut, she married Emanuel An
thony, of Hartford, and lived with him
SIX months, when he ran away. This
record shows that she had seven hus-
bands in all. She was first married
when fourteen years of age. She saws
she is now tifty-six years old. Coventry
sues Manchester for her support. claim
ing that her settlement is in Man
chester, where her third husband.
Wheeler, now lives. The Rogers mar
riage is claimed TO be void, as BLY, was
still living; but, as Bly, died before the
wheeler marriage, the latter was legal.
Manchester says the Bly, she married is
not the Bly, who is said TO be dead, but
another man; that the married Bly, was
alive when the Wheeler marriage took
place, which makes that void. 1t is
also held that the Wheeler marriage is
OF no effect under Connecticut laws
from the fact that at the time Wheeler
married her his father was married TO
her sister, in that he was not only mar.
Tyine his mother-in-law's sister, but also
MS fathers step-sister, and so on. II is
a very peculiar case.

Says Comley in his reeently.issued work,
The History of New York State, The day
has passed when the benefaetors Of human
ity were allowed 20 live in ignominious
poverty-tbeir sacrifices, their labors unrec-
ompensed. To-day, the benefactOrs Of the
people-the men who devote their lives and
energies to the interests Of humanity-these
are the men whom the world delights 10
honor, and whom 10 rewards with princely
fortunes. As an earnest worker for the
welfare OF his fellOw-men, DIR. II. V. Pierce
has won their warmest sympathy and es-
TEEN. While seeking 20 be their servant
only, he has become a prince among them.
Yet the immense fortune laYished upon
him by a generous people he boards not,
butinvests IN the erection and establishment
Of institutions directly contributive TO the
public good, the people thus realizing, in
their liberal patronage, a new meaning of
that beautiful Oriental custom Of casting
bread upon the waters. Noted in both
public and private life for his answering
integrity and all those sterling virtues that
ennOble manhood, DIR. Pierce ranks high
among those few men, whose names the
Empire State is justly proud 10 inscribe
upon her roll of honor. Ambitious, vet
moved by an ambition strictly amenable to
the most discriminating and well-balanced
judgment, his future career promises 20 be
one of unparalleled activity and usefulness,
ably experimenting the work he has already
accomplished, by life at once noble in
effort, enviable in its grand results" While
DIR. Pierce's genius and energy have won for
him so enviable position on the records of
nation, having been elected Senator by an
overwhelming majority, HIS justly celebrated
Household Remedies have gained for him a
yet more desirable place in the hearts of
grateful people. His Golden Medical Dis
covery and Favorite Prescription have
brought health and happiness to ten thou
sand households.
