\ MIXED CASE “9F MARRIED LIFE IN cO'v- ENTRY, CONN.—A WOMAN WHOSE DEAD HUSBANDS REAPPEARED TO DISTURB THE PEACE OF THEIR BUCCESSOBS.

a a >

The town of Coventry, Conn., has brought a

suit against the town of Manchester for the

. support of an alleged pauper named Pattia Paimelia Anthony, and the woman herselt has mace a dep sition which shows & remarkable

marned hie. The case is before enter, of Hartford, as Arbitrator. to her story, she married, July 5, In3o, Wim. Bly, of Springtield, who lett her thr e days after. Six weeks jater she heard he , i. and on Feb. 40f the next year she

About two years alter Rovers went to sea, and six months following his departure Mrs. Rogers heard that he haa

been hanged as a pirate. Finding single life hanging heavily on her hands she married, in Mar hb, 1541, trederick.A. Wheeler, who now lives in Mancnester, this State. Six months aiter this marriage, Rogers, the hanged pirate, came back, ousted Wheeler, and lived with Pamelia till October, 1549, when he died. In 1850, she married Henry Myers of N. Y., and got a divorce im March, 1857, and in the same year married James Davis and moved to Wisconsin. She lived with him for several years, and got a She then married Richard Marshall somewhere out West, lived with him seven years, and got another divorce. Then coming back to Connecticut, she married Emanuel Anthony of Hartford, and lived with him six months, when heranaway. ‘This record shows that she had seven husbands in all. She was first married when 14 years of age. She says she is now 56 years old. Coventry sues Man- chester for her support, clauming that her set- tlement is in Manchester, where her third hus- band, Wheeler, now lives, The Rogers marri- age is claimed to be void, as Bly was still living; but as Bly died before the Wheeler marrage, the latter was legal. Manchester says the Bly she married is not the Bly who is said to be dead, but another man ; that the married Bly was alive~when the marniage took place, W hich makes that void. It is also held that the Wheeler marriage is of no effect un:ler Connecticut laws, from the fact that at she time Wheeler married her his father was mar- ried to her sister, so that he was not only marrying his mother-in-law’s sister, but also his father’s step-sister, and 60 oD. It is avery peculiar case.

Turkish Valor.

The European and Christian races every- wliere, the races which count themselves the greatest, wisest, and bravest of the earth, have watched with amazement the spectacle of in- valid and semi-barbarous Turkey contending on even terms with gigantic and organized Flussia.

At the outbreak of the straggle the civilized world supposed that it would pitiably un- equal ; that, without the assistance of some of the ‘great powers,” the Moslems would be crushed in asingle campaign ; that the advance of the Muscovite armies would be little more than a triumphal promenade. It was com- monly supposed that the superiority of Russia in soldiery disposition, intelligence and educa- tion at least eqalled her advantage in wealth and numbers. It had come to be an accepted credence, almost equivalent to a military maxim, that Asiatic and semi-Asiatic troops could not stand before Europeans.

We have seen enough during the summer of 1877 to lead us to question all these beliefs. Whatever may be the termination of the contest. the Turkish generals have shown foamidable capacity, and the Turkish soldiers have exhibited heroic courage. They have not only defended imtrenchments with their historic tenacity, but they have assaulted them with impetuosity, and sometimes with success. Embodied, they seem to be the equals of the Rassians, and man to man, their superiors, What is the meaning of this wonderful uprising and resuscitation of a people whom all Europe looked upon as decadent and effeminated ?

he truth is that there has been no change in the character of the Ottomans. We have not read their history thoroughly and with discrimination. Arguing loosely from their military disasters, we have not done justice to their martial qualities. They have always been brave, even in their overthrows. Their raost unfortunate wars, the wrestles in which they have suffered defeat on defeat, have been illustrated by signal instances of heroism such as the most warlike nations might glory in. If they have lost territory, it has never been through lack of valor, nor altogether from want of good generalship, but mainly from defect of preparation.—/. W. DeForest, in Harper's Magazine, for January.

Mexico ought to be called the ‘‘ mother of Presidents.” She has had fifty-four of them in fourteen terms, an average of four toa term, and to know how she likes Presidents for chief magistrates. Occasionally she has two or three at a time, but like a man with several wives, the luxury has given more trouble than satisfaction.

The unparalleled fall in the price of furs is attributed by Mr. Goshen, M. P., who pre- sided at a late meeting of the Hudson Bay Company in London, and there expressed his views, to the general depression in trade and to the war, Russia being one of the principal customers. The causes being temporary, a re- vival may be looked for, ’

While several children were feeding a pet bear at Austin, Texas, the other day, the animal playfully seized a little girl and pulled her towards him, whereupon a house dog, sup- posing the child to be in danger, sprang upon the bear. Bruin, to save child from the dog, carried her to the end of the hogshead in which he slept, and returned to the fight. A party of darkies than came up to protect the child from her other protectors, and her mother, coming out of the house with a musket, killed both dog and bear. There has seldom occurred & more general misunderstanding,

In the riots at El Paso none but citizens of the United States were engaged. The rioters acted with much coolness and determination. They surrounded a small force of Texas militia and compelled them to surrender. With them was a man who had shot one of the riot- ers, and him and two companions of his they put to death. In all this there is no cause of

uarrel with Mexico, but there are other bor- y 2 troubles, aud some fear that they will as-

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELYIN’s Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif-

ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel ita effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan-

in'a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over al] other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for YR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Aithough powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One tria) is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELvrx's CApst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
