THE XEJtSKR CASKFrUL PARTICU.
The good people of our neighboring
borough, Fleasantville, were thrown
into ft general state of indagirmtion
and mystification by an announcement
in the Courier of last Thursday, that
their till then highly respected young
townsman, C. A. Reese r, florist, bad
( procured a divorce at Prairie du (Jhien,
in Wisconsion, in November last and
that on the 22d of February he had
married Miss Alice M. Good, of Cher
ry Camp, West Virginia,
That oar readers may have a clear
understanding of this case, we will
state that about nine years ago a well
" known and highly esteemed Methodist
ctorgyman by the name of Reese r was
living in Tidioute, Fa., and his eon
Charles then about twenty-one years
of age, became married to a very re
spectable girl about sixteen years of
age. The union seemed to be a happy
one. The young wife was entirely de
voted to her husband. ' Soou after,
" young Recser went to New York and
engaged with the great floriculturist,
Peter Henderson, to learu the busi-
uess of growing plants, eto. Subse
quently he went to North Adams.
, Mass., -and engaged in the same busi
ness there. A few years ago Mr. Ree-
ser, Sr., bought a few acres of land of
Mr. Brown, in Fleasantville, and in
vited his son to make his home with
him, and establish himself In his favor-
, ite pursuit. The oiler was aocepted,
and in the latter part of 1871 he erect
ed those large hot houses for growing
budding outplants and all the line of
flowers usually found in suoh establish
ments. His business flourished and
became lucrative. His' sales of plants
extended all over the country. His
wife proved herself a help-mate in
deod. She studied the whole business,
and made herself familir with the rou
tine of its affairs and devoted her
lime and energies to the interest of
her husband to such a degree that uo
end of compliments were bestowed up
on her as a model wife. During the
winter of 1871-2, before any planh
were grown for sale, and when money
was very scarce with the new concern,
she would make boqucts and bring
them to Titusville aud look up custo
mers for them.
It is not known that any cloud ever
- cast a shadow over the home of young
Reeser and wife. They were blessed
with a son a bright and promising lad.
It has been said that Reeser was sub-
. ject to peculiar moods, somewhat of a
gloomy character, making him at times
almost morose. lie would be extreme
ly reticent to customers, only answer-
. ing their questions with as few words
as possible. But there was this pecu-
- liaxty, he would write loug letters,
' and it is said they were remkable for
their elegant diction, and it was this
which finally caused his trouble.
la the spring of 1872, among those
who answered Lis advertisements, was
a young lady by the name of Miss
Alice M. Good, living at Cherry Camp,
Harrison county, West Virginia.
There was nothing peculiar about her
order. In filling it however, Mr. Ree-
. scr, as often was his custom, put in a
few plants more than was called for.
The recipient, who it seems is very
fond of flowers, was delighted to find
she had more than she had any expec
tation of getting, and expressed her
thanks to the florist for the present,
and iudulged in some general reflec-
. tions about the beauty of flowers, and
, how delightful it must be to be en
gaged in growing flowers and have
them in abundance, etc., etc. To this
letter Mr. Reeser replied at length,
and a correspondence ensued, and Mr.
. Reeser concluded that perhaps Miss
Good could learn to love the flower
. grower as well as the flowers.
Why he should tire of his wife no
one can tell, but he began at once to
procure a divorce. His first step was
to fee an infamous firm of divorce law
yers of New York. He paid them
- $150 to begin with, and tiO afterward.
In Wisconsin divorces are readily ob
tained where both parties are willing
aud consent in writing. One day he
presented bis wile a paper which he
wished her to sign without knowing
the contents. This she very properly
declined to do. It was her marriage
death warrant though she did not
know it at the time. Who finally did
o her name to the paper asking for
'orce is not yet known, but some
ijimitted deliberate forgery, for
divorce was duly entered
Courts of Wisconsin, ait-
Ju (Hiicu, November
-I Rvoier hinted
f. R, DUNN -
to his wife that he had procured a di
vorce; she could not believe it, but it
annoyed her not a little. Her hus
band continued to live with her, treat
ed ber as usual her whole life was
bound ud in him. and in her deen af
fection he could not believe that she
could be wronged or trifled with. In
a short time her suspicions were
aroused, and she was compelled to in
vestigate what seemed to be impend
ing to destroy her peace aud happi
ness. Sometime in the winter Recser made
a visit to West Virginia and on the
22d or 25th of February he was mar
ried to Alice M. Good, daughter of the
postmaster of Cherry Camp. To prove
his right to marry, he exhibited his
decree of divorce, and told so plausi
ble a story ef his hard lot with his
first wife, that it seemed to the family
of his new wife that a divorce was the
natural consequence.
A bridal tour brought the parties to
Erie where it is said he has kept her
ever since except aa he took occasion
al trips around the country. And in
this way matters have gone on Reeser
living with wife No. 1 at Fleasantville
fbr the last few months with a piler'a-
age to Erie to see wife No. 2 once or
twice a month. He remarked to the
writer, in April last, that ha thought
of establishing a nursery in Erie.
From somo correspondence which
fell into the hands of wife No. 1, two
Or three weeks ago, during the dual
husband's absence, the . whole plot
came out and she started at once for
Cherry Camp, West Vireinia. where
ehe supposed her trnant spouse to be.
Mrs. Reeser No, 1 returned from
her journey, and early last week Ree-
er and wife No. 2nade their appear
ance at fleasantville, and wife No. 1
ordered to leave the house. Father
Reeser just then appeared to the par
ties, and the old man Adam asstrted
his supremacy, and he informad his
son and wife No. 2 that if they did
uk immediately leave he would shoot
both of them. The old rentlimnn
don't get mad or indulge in righteous
luuiguauou unioss mere do proper
provocation. But bis blood was up.
Young Reeser immediately left. It
was well he did. Had he remained
over nieht, a coat of tar and feathers
and a free ride on a rail would have
shown bim that Fleasantville boys
don't tolerate that kind of doings.
Recser came to Titusvillo and took
the cars for Corry Thursday morning,
which is the last heard of him. His
doeply injured wife has placed her
case in the hands of Hon. M. C. Beebe,
who will aot as her attorney in main
taining her rights and bring the guilty
parties to punishment. From all we
can gather we do not kno that wife
No. 2 was culpable in her part of the
performance. Sho was probably a
dupe to Reeser's artful designs. Ti

OBITUARY.
Died, of congestion of the heart.
near Mill Village, Erie Co., Pa.) July
23d, 1873, Mr. Samuel McCray, aged
68 years, 3 mouths and 16 days, lie
appeared to be in unusual good health,
had ealeu a very hearty dinner and
went to too Held to assist in bringing
in a load of hay, when he remarked
that he had not felt so well for ten
years. A moment afterwards he tot
tered, but was supported in time to
prevent bim from falling, and died
while yet Btanding on his feet. Mr.
McCray was formerly a resideut of
V enango to., l a., where he raised a
large family, but moved to Erie Co.
in lsb-t acd settled in Le lioeuf
township, taking the management of
bis iurm while bis sons were in the
South fighting the battles of our coun
try. Alter the war they rotured home
to relieve the aged veteran, of secular
affairs aud the toils of life. Being
thus relieved, he and the companion
of his bosom oft revisited their for
mer home and distant friends. Peace
and happiness seemed to sit on their
aged brows, and "not a wave of trou
ble rolled across their peaceful
breasts." But earthly happiuess is
short in its duration, for Mrs. McCray,
after a lingering sickness, was called
o her reward above on the 21st of
June 1872, and left Father McCray
to name wiin the lonely path ot lite;
but to him it was nut lonesome, for he
had the lamp of life with him which
was lit up by a name of heavenly love
almost a half a century ago, und it
seemed to be his chief business to keep
it burning, t ontically be was a Re
publican. As a neighbor kind and
obliging, as a Christian a Methodist,
and always at his post. The writer
was personally acquainted with de
ceased for over nine jears, and was
within a few feet of him when he died,
and can certify to the truthfulness,
honesty and uprightness of bim in all
his dealings with his fellow men. His
funeral was attended by a large assem
blage of kind neighbors and most all
his children and grandchildren. All
seemed to be deeply affected while
Rev. Blusdcll preached the funeral ser
