there will be some choice choral music pre-
pared.

a certain gentleman who is well known in
the city, and who has been employed on the
works at the Wisconsin railway, has had
Mormon proclivities, and had a substitute
wife living with him at the railway, whilst

to get rid of wife No. 2, but she decidedly
objected, and a scene was raised. She
threatened to have him arrested for bigamy,
when she found he had wife No. here, and
it is understood that she went to his house,
so as to pull all the wool of his Uranium, but
when she got there, he was non est. She
met him afterwards in one Of the livery sta
bles in this city, and whether her tongue or
fists few most rapidly it was hard to tell,
however the pair started off together towards
st. Paul. What the outcome will be it is
hard TO say. The parties in connection with
