AX ISTERr.STIXO CASE Of A WOMAN MASRItU TO TWO llt:SB4Xl'S UKR LFOAL UL'SBAND I'MARR- Ell WITH BEeKIVIXO STOLES COOUS STKANDE DLVKLOPEMEXTS. A very interesting case has just come to light iu this city. u the year 1SG2 Thomas (ilasby, a very respectable cili- ' zi-ii of this citr. became enamored of a j woman of rather prepossessing appear- I ance, and af.er paying her close attention f .r a limited period, proposed, aud was i accepted. Feeling greatly elated at the j result of his suit, he was desirous of fix- ing an early day for the marriage, so j that he could possess the object of his 1 affi.clii.'U wiih none to hinder or make J afraid .he, nothing loth, consented, I and the twain were mde one flesh, j The husband took her to his home and I provided for her right royalt and they ' were aiiuarentlv h;iupv. They lived together for tin ee or four years, when the tempter entered that blissful home au 1 broke tip their happiness forever. They abided together until the year ISGG. In the fall of that eventful year eventful for thm as it was for the c mntry Gla.-by started a store at bis residence, and while he was engaged at his trade, he left his wife to attend to it The store proved to be quite remunera tive and, together with the salary which he obtained from bis business, he began to get ahead of tbe world. This was excellent and it rejoiced the good man's heart exceedingly. One evening, after being hard at work all day, be hied him to bis home, aud being met at the thres hold by his spouse, she told him she had. during his absence, received several veiy j fine carpets. "From whom did you obtain the car pets ' asked the husband. "Mr. Walker, a friend of mine, sent them to me," responded the wife. "But who is Mr. Walker 1" queried the good man : 'T never heard you speak of him." "Oh, be is an old friend of mine." returned she- "I have known him ever so long, aud a nice man he is too." "I do hot exactly like this sort of things, my dear," returned the husband, 'and I thiuk you had better return them to him." "Oh, I can't do that now ; they are all cut up and put down on the floors." The husband could say nothing fur ther, and was obliged to let the matter drop. He ate his supper in silence, and, after he concluded, his wife went out of the bouse on an errand, as she alleged. While she wis away, there was a knock at the door, and hastening to re spond to tbe summons the husband was confronted by a detective. "My friend, I have called to see if yon have any carpets here which do not be long to you 1" said the official, "and to assist me in this 1 carry in my hand a search-warrant." Mr. Glasby expressed great astonish ment at this, and for a time was com pletely dumb-founded- lie could hardly believe the evidence of his own sense Finally lie became more composed, and in quite a rational manner related the wholt circumstances to the detective, and stated that he was entirely innocent as to the whole transaction. The detective said that be would have to give an account of the whole affair. and told him to go down to the Central Station. Glasby asked that he might re main at bis house that night, and he would willingly appear the next day, to which the officer assented, lie appeared at the Central Station the following day. and upon tbe testimony of tbe officer he was committed to prison on the charge of receiving stolen goods. He remained in confinement for some time, and was then released on bail through the exer tions of his wife and the man Walker. ' This was the month of November, 1866. Mr. Glasby remained ib Philadelphia ' until the following February, when aee- sslTsMy THE c6TITCTIO THE OBIOH AD THE EirOECKMEIT Or JUNIATA COUiNTI, PENiVA., ing a good opening in California, lie ac cepted it and went to that far distant State. lie went aloue, leaving his wife to fix np some affairs which required at tention. Frntn the time of bin discharge from prison, until he left the city, noth ing had been done to prosecute him. The case was returned but no bill had been found. Some fire or six months after be had become settled in his new home a bill of indictment was found against him by the Grand Jury, but he being away, nothing could be done. In the course of time Mrs. Glasby followed her husband to California, and if re ports r-pcak truly, the carpet trouble was settled between them, and they lived to gether comparatively happy. Finally business became dull in the Golden State, and Glasby concluded to again return to Philadelphia. A few months since they reached the city of Brotherly Love and took np their residence in the northern section. After residing there a few weeks Glasby dis-' i i. iQt?a j t j i j iuc lime luc tu;rc nau uccu umuc against hi.n for receiving stolen goods. l :r . l: 1.:. 1 . his wife, while living at his house, went with this man Walker Richard Walker is his full name to Alderman Peter Hay .'and by him was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Walker. After the marriage she returned ta her legal liutbaml and abided with him, he having of course, no kuowlc.lge of the transac- I lion.

Inn nir v developed the fact that be had been committed to prison on the previous evening on a bench warrant, which the friends of bis wife bad pro- cured. This bench' warrant was issued ou the charge of receiving stolen goods (.the carpet above referred to). The old iudictmvnt was resurrected, and uDon that he was sent to prison, where he is now. The' case is an interesting one and further developem'ents are anxiously awaited. Pkilad.iljjliia laqilirer, April, 21th. KILLED BY LIGHT.SlMi. An appalling calamity occurred on the farmo? Mr. Townsend Walter, in West town township, Chester county, on1 Fri day afternoon last. Some workmen, with one of Mr Yr'alters sons, were en gaged with carts and oxen in hauling stone from one of t!ie fields. In the af ternoon they saw a rain storm approach, ing, accompanied with thunder and lightning. As it iieared the place young Walters started wilh a pair of the oxen for tbe barn, and fcld the men that they had better1 also go' to the bafn while the storm lasted. Tv.V of them Robert Pettns, colored, and Michael Gorman, an Irishman rleclined going to the barn but took shelter , ii . miner an oia tuerry tree near by. They had hardly reached the tree uutil it was struck by ligh'tuing. ' Young Walters was' only a short distance off, and although omuwhat blinded and bewildered by the shock, soon recovered', and saw that the men had been' knocked down. Going to tbe tree the clothing of the negro was discovered to be on fire This was extinguished aud the young man then went for assistauce. Some of tbe limbs of the tree were dead aud the lightning had communicated five to them. When tbe parties arrived at the tree, one of the burning limbs had fallen across the body of the negro and set fire to his clothing which were totally consumed, even to the shoes, aud the body crisped and blistered, presenting a horrible tight. Gorman was burned a little on one thigh and slightly bruise on the forehead or nose.' The lightning as it descended the tree appeared to divide, a stream ot elec tricity running down oa tbe opposite sides thereof. The negro on one side, and Gorman on the other. The latter appeared to have been leaning against the tree, and was thrown forward upon his face, thns receiving the bruise upon the forehead. Tbe dead bodies were at once removed to tbe buildings of Mr. Walters, and Deputy Coroner llibbard was notified of the occurrence. He im mediately summoned the following gen tlemeu as jurymen : Caleb Taylor, Jesse Taylor, S. Lewellyn Meredith, Joseph Perdue, John Boyd and Frank Strode , who viewed the bodies, and rendered a verdict in accordance with the foregoing facts. On Saturday the body of Pettus was bnried by Mr. Walters, in tbe burial ground at Gallown Hill: West Chester. On Sunday afternoon the remains of Gorman were intered ih' the Catholic Cemetery at Oakland. . Petos was an er slave, from the lower part of Delaware. Wrtt Chester Rejutblka. - ft ... . tr TUB LAWS.
