And pure as the morning dew, .Enough, though bid the cause may be. lilisctllaneous Juabing. New York Morals Bigamy in ill:!! Life Tlie N. Y". Post last week has an edi torial article telling this strange Btory : . IV ot may days ago tbere was a fashiona ble marriage ia one of our up-town church es. ' Tbe bridegroom Was a remarkable bandsoue man; of nearly1 thirty years of age, well known id what is called fash ionable . sociitty, as an agreeable, liberal bachelor and "ladies' mail.'' Tbe bride was a lovly girl, belonging to one of our best known families, and esteemed for her character as much as admired for her beauty.. ; ; , Tbe friends of both were present ; and nothing surprising occurred at the cere mony; save that 1 all present remarked upon the appearance of the bridegroom, lie was Apparently so oppressed by some great Borrow or anxiety that be could not smile nor command a cheerful word. '' . The pair had spent but a few days to gether, when the husband, after an inter view with his young wife, which left ber almost crushed in mind, hastily called at his late bachelor rooms, which he had not yet given up, burued a large number of papers packed up a few precious articles,' and suddenly disappeared;' and uo one of bid fiienda now knows where he h to be'found.. ; , ' ' ."' . ' " V ' iiat one dreadful truth reached their ears too quickly. , At ; one of ourj new hotel in the centre of the city, but a few blocks from the church in which the mar riage was performed, there were found a woman and several children bearing his name, and she found.no difficulty in estab-. lidhiug : her right -to - it. . She is many years older than he. ' I ; ' j ' They were " married' when he'; was scarcely more than a boy, and liave never published the marriage ; bu they never quarrelled or separated.! , Ilo still sup ported her and visited her and on - tbe very day of the second marriage; at noon be made her a lone visit, in his usual manner. . , This event has been a sudden shock to both families, and tbe absolute con cealment of his marriage from all his friends for many years,' while his wife and children openly bore his namo in public hotels in this' city, is as unaccount able to them as it will be to others. Tbe young man was for several years an internal revenue officer in this city, but For some years past' has b'een.I',employed in a hank down town. lie pai three thousand dollars a year for the board of' bis wife and childreu, while receiving a salary of only two thousand ; and has yet maintained his bachelor life with lav ish expenditure. Iu his rooms are said to have laiu not far from a huudred suits of clothes, with expensive books, and many evidences of wealth.. , But his ac counts at the bank are said to be entirely correct. His lull understanding of what be was doing appears from tbe fact that he carried to the alter a pistol, with the fixed purpose, as he afterwards said, of! blowing out his brains there if the cere mony should be interfered with. - The Tribune gives the following ad ditional particulars: . f4The guilty bridegroom was calvin R. Cross, book-keeper in the Central Na tional Bank. Oa a salary of $2,000 a year he lived extravantly, but -enjoyed tbe confidence of his employers, and was never suspected of any dishonest trans actions. After being in this city three years, he met a Miss Calvin of Boston, and was induced to believe it best to marry her, after the acqnaintnace had ma tured. The marriage was kept secret aud he for four years provided her with rooms at the Ashland House, in Fourth-1 avenue' at a cost of $4,000 . a year, re- j taining, meanwhile, a bachelor establish- j ment of bis own in Fourteenth Street. 1 His wife bore him two children, one of j which is living.. No one outside of the ; hotel knew of tbe wedding. j 'With a recklessness that looks like ! madness, Cross contracted a marriage en- i gagement with Miss Laura N. Luckey, J daughter of Nelson Luckey of New j Hamburg, on the Hudson. This termi-1 nated in fashionable though unostenta- j tious wedding at St Thomas' Church, on j the 23d of last November. Ilia wife was an attendaijt at the same church, and being present at the Thanksgiving j services, heard for the first time of the wedding. She at once sought some of her husband's relatives and demanded an explanation. Cross found that further concealment was impossible, and on the Sunday following he : entered the hotel hastily and in great agitation, and after a stormy sceue with his second wife, left ber presence and has not since been seen by her or any of her friends. His first wife states that she has not heard from him since bis disappearance, and has ap plied to bis friends for relief, her bus baud haviug left her quite destitute Norman Cross, a son- in-law of Corne lius Vanderbilt, and cousin of the biga mist, says that Calvin was accustomed to work at nigh ton the books of business houses besides tbe one by which he was employed, and that in this way he some times earned from $150 to $200 a week ; and that ha was alio successful iu some stock speculations Mr. Whtllock. Pres ident of the Central National Hank, ad vanced a remarkable conjecture, viz : That Cross may have been in collusion with Sanford, who, while in the employ of this bank four years ago, was a de faulter to the amount of nearly $100,000. Sauford.s account was partly kept "iu Cross's ledger, and he might have re ceived a' bribe to conceal discoveries as to Sanford's dishonesty, it it now as serted that the affiir with Miss Luckey is the sixth marriage engagement which Cross has made since his marriage to his first wife, and that the record of one of his marriages, which should be preserved in the office of tbe Kegister of Vital Sta tistics, is missing. Tbe young lady who was the victim of the bigamist, returned to her father's house, at North Hamburg, after the exposure, and has been nearly distracted by the discovery of his treach ery. . ' ; ; .

''Came about the book-keeper's "posi tion, and I've almost promised it to him ; he- brought excellent testimonials, and seems to be a smart man. I think he'll do.

There's something pecaliar in his ap pearance I could not fail to recognize.--I think he's the swindler there was a great fuss about at Chicago, when I was tbere last year ; if it's the same man he's a dead-beat, and no mistake.". !-,.:' ."I guess not, Martin ; this fellow's honest I could read it in his eyes. It's pretty rough to be down on a square man because of some slight resemblance he may bear to a rascal ; besides, look at his credentials," said Ranken, I glanced over them.

"You see the stamps bave'nevtr. been touched," said Charley, pointing t the package of bills on the desk, as I enter ed his room. I walked towards where ibey lay and lifted them up. "Look here, Kanken," I said. He then took them from my hand and e'xamined them ; "We're dead beat!" he exclaimed ; "all these notes except the top one, are counterfeits.". "Say you are sold, old man ; don't in clude mer I warned you." I answered. The man of course never returned to occupy the position he had accepted. ' The Knoxville (Tenh.) Chronicle of the 14th nit.', tells of an adventure as thrilling and improbable as any that lias ever adorned the pages of the most sen sational story writer. A short time since a drover, stopping for the night at an inn in the mountains near the dividing line j of Tennessee and North Carolina, had his suspicions aroused by the rough ap pearance of several ill-looking men who were about the premises. Therefore he carefully examined his room before retir ing, and was horrified by finding conceal ed under his bed tbe body of a roan, with his throat cut from ear to ear. ' The drover took up tbe body of the murdered man, placed it carefully iu the bed, cov ered it up, aud took his position . behind the door to await the result. About mid night tbe door was softly opened, and five men, armed with huge knives, entered the room ami stealthily approached the bedside. The drover did not remain to watch their further proceedings, but quietly slipped out of the opeu door, and made his way from the murderous den. The next morning he raised a force and returned to the inn, where the party suc ceeded in capturing four of the gang. As incredible as this story appears, the Chiouicle vouches for its truth on the au thority of a responsible gentleman, and gives the name of the drover who was tbe hero of the adventure, and who is well known in Jefferson county.
