fun TO be derived. from the sport, even
though It Goes cost pretty penny.
The pike these past two afternoons and
evenings has been fairly alive with runners
and flying horses. The vehicles filled with
mlrshful parties, and the cheerful tintinna-

The Waynesburg Republican says that
everyone in Greene county with any claim
to respsctability would cry out and stand
ashsst at the mere mention OF Norman poly
gamy, 'yet more disgusting sort Of polyga.
my exists under the eyes Of some Of the
good people in certain limited localities
in Greene county, and they, pay no
attention 10 these outrsges. They marry
and are gwen In marriage and
break the solemn obligation with IMMUNITY
with less concern than they break con-
tract 10 perform dsy's labor. This thing
has been going on among low, laxless Of
in Greene and on the borders Of adjoining
townships so long and to such an extent that
law and decsncy is about to seek redres, and
put stop to the determinations" {.
The Republican then proceeds to show up
some OF the devilmsnt existing, as follows
Nine or ten years ago certain jake Ruse,
Of Greene township, married woman named
Calvert. They lived together two or'tbrss
years, when Ruse left and took up with
.youpg woman named 6tickles. He coon
tired Of the Stickles woman, aud made love
10 Miss 6toneking, and they were made
one as nearly as possible, considering that
two other wives had matrimonial claims
upon Ruse. They are stiII living together.
Dyer Rus, OF the same township, and
brother Of Jakes, married woman about a
year since, bat he treated her 80 badly that
her parents Jok her away. Ruae then took
up with his brother Jake's second wife.
6ticklea. Ples' ant Ruse, a sister OF Jake and
Dyer married Dan Stickles and had two chill.
dren by him. She left him about wear ago
and went to live with John Danssoa. Mary
Ruse, another sis er, two years ago married a
Jim Hawkins, who was said TO have a wife
living at the time. Tney lived together some
eighteen months, till child was born to
them, when one day the mother.in-law an.
peared upon the scene. where the couple
lived, just acro:1 the river in Fayette county.
and upon some pretense took her daughter
home. Mrs. Hawkins, No. ., attended the
Fair lest fall, stopping with
one Hiram Long, and while here fell
in with one Jim Richey, who had a
wife living. She took fancy 10 Jim. and.
in order that she might pass herself off upon
him az young ma'en, her mother came
and took the six non..1 old child, OF which
Hawkins WAS the father. They are now
living together in the came house with
Mrs. Hawkins, aliss Richey's parents.
Jim Richey's wife No. l. after she separat-
ed from Richey, married Jim Stranger, and
they now live ner Rice's Landing. The Re.
publican gives several other intances OF q like
nature and concludes: III any other com.
munity can produce such disglaceful mix az
this let them come forward and take the belt
and 1t such abominable work can be prsc,ic.
