The facts are these : About five years ago, a man named Edward Carey left an affectionate and beautiful wife and three interesting chil- dren, to seek a tortune in tne mines or California. For one year after his arri- val in the gold country wrote constantly to his wifer and enclosed frequent sums of money. Suddenly the correspondence 'ceased, and Mrs. Carey, receiving no mo- '. neY s compelled to adopt other meahs 'to obk"11 a livelihood for herself and lit- ! tie ones. In a few weeks thereafter, Mrs. Carey, received information that j her husband had been'killed in the mines, : wich was corroborated by a subsequent letter received from California. j For three years she lived, as she sup- posed she was,. a widow. . Receiving the ' .attentions of an Italian named Joseph J Reibe, who succeeded in gaining her af- ' fection. she consented to marriage, and , . ., ,' (about a year ago tne two were legany united in the bonds of wedlock, and have ,. . -x t. . jay? av CMMtn 1 1 ir1 ftinfn V o -rvi 1 rr f nrr it li nr I Oh Sunday last as the church beHs were euuiuiwiiug lvj Liitj uuu.n; ui uuu uiu ui- jshippcra of the True Being Edward Ca- Vho ,had arnTed dire.ct from Cttl,1?r-- , ma, by the morning train, was making inquiries, in the neighborhood in which in .Ko. uP nc nA i his family resided when his family resided when he-left Cincin- uati. for his wife and children His neiuhbors and friends stood amazed, and trembled upon beholding the mau whom they had long since believed to be dead. Upon being assured that it was Carey, who was not dead, but living, he waS as tounded with the intelligence that his wife, who had also believed that he had ""one to that bourne whence no traveller returns," was again, married to another man, with whoni she was now livincr in domestic felicity. Ascertaining the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Reibe, the afflict ed husband hasteued to ascertain whether what be had heard was true or false. Knocking at the door, a tall Italian, measuring six feet one and one-half inch es, came to the 'door. Carey inquired. "Does Mrs. Reibe live here?" Italian "She does. Will you "walk in?" Carey 'Yes, sir; will you please tell her that a centleman desires to see her?" The Italian consented, and going to the door leading into the dining-room, called his -wife Uy her first name. She answered, and, all full of smiles, came running into the parlor. Upon seeing her first hus band, who rose from his seat to meet her, she screamed out "My God, Carey!" and fell fainting to the floor. The husbands both hastened to raise her from the floor. When Carey informed Reibe that he was Edward Carey, the lady's lawful husband, Reibe also claimed her as wife, and add ed, "I shall never give her up." Before the wife had fully recovered from her fainting attack, the two husbands had be come eugaged in angry, violent words, resulting in Carey drawing a pistol upon Reibe, and in the latter being forcibly, e- jected from the house. Reibe, on Mondaymorning, had a war rant sworn out in the Police Court, charg ing Carey with disorderly conduct and provoking him to commit a breach of the peace. Carey was arrested, and when ar raigned before Judge Warren, in. Ibe presence of Reibe and the wife, he asked j the court to hear an explanation before 1. x 1 t 1 - T 1 TIT Lne ou" uie marriage ceruncare, ana "!

From Hhat time, through all the marches, bat tles, sieges and vicissitudes of-war, this bird has remained with the command and shared its hardship, dangers and ad ventures. Whenever the regiments has joiued battle with the foe, the eagle has been at his post with the soldier who owns him, at the head of Co. D.

Artful Doings. The Portland Advertiser gives two or three. examples of sharp practice, one of which is that of a stranger who called at a tailoring establishment, and, as he en tered, addressed the proprietor. "How do you do, M ?" "Really, sir, you've got the upper hand of me, I don't know you." "Don't know me ?" exclaimed the stran ger. ."Why, I've been fishing with you many a time up in Wyndham and there abouts." "Have'you?" said the proprietor. "Yes, and I want my coat fixed," was the reply ; .the buttons and button holes repaired." "Tain't worth fixing said the tailor. "Well, I thought I would have it fixed up a little. It will do to go out fishing in, you know. How. long will it take to dout? If it should take over an hour I shall not have it done." "I can do it in half an hour," said the tailor. . "By the way," said the dodger. "I have got to go down to the bank, and " shall want a coat to wear." j "There is mine take that," said the I ,,. . ...... .. ODnging' proprietor : "ana a petter one you never wore in your life." The stranger took it and went to the bank, it is presumed, but never returned to get his old coat. And yet another. A man went into a a certain boot and shoe store, and after j. , . , ... fi i-i.i dickering about a pair of'boots which'he had on tiis feet, trying to beat down the shopman, another man entered the store, apparently in search of the first comer, went up to the customer and struck him a blow in the side of the head. The cus tomer looked up to the shopkeeper and asked : " . . "Would you stand that?" The sho'pkeeper. said : "No sir;" at which the customer returned the blpw, and the first assailant retreated to the J n ii J l it i 11 door, followed by the customer and shop- , ' xi i xx r. i t x xiS keeper, the latter of whom said to the man wno naa tne doocs.

About twelve' o'clock that night, which, was horrible cold, George rdde up, on horseback, to Kibby's door, and rapped, Kibby came down stairs, shivering in the cold, having nothing on but his shirt and pants, when George sang out: ;Kibby, were you chozen moderator at our town meeting to-day 7 Yes, I was," he replied.
