the only child of respectable parents living within

othet Missionaries, desiredia companion. But he
was attached to no one, and could fix his mind up
on ne.one to be his " better halt" Still some one
he must have, for he experienced a painful sense of
iblidliirge,tkilated as he was frond all civilized so

untamed charge, and went on a journey in search
of a wife. ,He directed his'etnirsi, Its yliiiiig Itiiiti§-

Bingolar Case of Bigamy.
• Son*,tinie since a gentleman of N. York named
Henry Mott, attracted by the golden realities of
bade adieu to his beloved wife and three
children, the eldest but nine years of age, and de
parted fur El lierado. Success met his endeavors .
and his wife soon had the pleasant satisfaction of
receiving substantial tokens of his friendship in the
form of generous installments of gold. At one
time Mr. M. forwarded $706 to his !Ming spouse.
Finally, tittlated with the toil of life in the new
Eden, and lunging for the social enjoyments of
home, the caresses of his children and the sweet
smile of a fund wife, he came back, hurried to the
house where the treasures of his heart were left,
when what ?Vas his astoilirlmmut and debpait to
find that the birds had flown. SO-age and tin
welcome suspicions ttibk the place of yearning love,'
and the cup of domestic all iction was brimmed
with shanie. Search soon traces the recreant wife
to this city, *here she was found, Slim , as his wile,
with onb JO+ Angipttis Jackson, having ' taken id
iailtage tif Hiisfialid's nee to blight his
hopes, disgrace her children• and make herself in
famous. This morning she appears in a police re
turn under arrest on charge of bigamy, by her
dttliblb name—Harriet L Matt alias Jacksop, and
Jackson is also iia prison charged with feloily—
stealing the woman's clothes, we presume.
The wife, however, alleges that after her hus
band's return, bringing with - him about 525,004,
they came to an understanding, and he renounced
all claim upon het, agreeing to give her, moreover,
1 1 . 1 0,000. SOllO of which Wits paid at' die time.—
agreement was entered into at Newark on the
12th March; and supposing herself thereby freed,
she came on hero with Jackson, and was married
to him. She does not deny having lived with
Jackson dining her husband's absence. but to rebut
the charge of bigamy, produces this singular chi.-
tifiant :
