opened at 104c, and Bates 10c. There has
been very good market maintained through

Mary Perkins. the wife OF Ezra c.. Per-
kins. who was formerly notorious in this
city under the name Of Mrs. Hardy. the

OF several exposures OF the tricks of the

until about NAV II, 1871. Early in April,
1871. Mrs. Hardy informed her husband
that she desired 10 separate from him and
obtain divorce, in order thaf She might
marry Ezra 6. Perkins. Mr.. Hardy was
unwilling to assent to the PROPOSE
ton. but at last feeling compelled by
circumstances did consent to certain
proceedings being taken t. enable
Mrs.. Hardy to obtain . divorce Al
thi, time they had accumulated con,
siderable amount Of property, ana lIyed
together at No. { Concord square. Mrs.
HARDY was well known in the community

business Of a painter, the earnings OF both
heinz allowed TO accumulate for Their JOINT
benefit. Il was finally agreed that she
might apply for ard obtain divorce, ana
