News Item
Edward Moore, who lives on the "White House lot," once the scene of the Kidder tragedy, was arrested on Thursday last, upon a charge of bigamy. It seems that in 1861 he enlisted in the army, and while quartered in New York for a few weeks, he met and married Miss Sarah Devine. After a brief honeymoon he left for the tented field, and notwithstanding the fact that a son was afterwards born to him, and he was appealed to to visit his afflicted wife and dying babe, he failed to see them. In the meantime, Moore as is alleged, deserted and left the service, returned to Banbridge [Chenango Co. NY], and some six years ago married Miss Maggie Russell, with whom he has since lived, having been blessed with children. On Thursday, Mrs. Moore No. 1 appeared upon the scene, told a pitiful story of her wrongs, and only desired to meet him face to face, and hear the excuse for so cruel a desertion from his own lips. But Moore absented himself, and the lady caused a warrant to be issued for his arrest. He afterwards gave himself up, and the examination will take place before justice Van Horne on Saturday. A brother and friends of the lady, residing in New York have been telegraphed for, and an interesting time is anticipated. Review

Marriages

The wedding of Mr. Hilen Harrington and Miss Ella C. Ferris on Wednesday last was one of the most brilliant and pleasing that has occurred in this vicinity for a long time. About thirty or forty of the chosen friends of the happy couple were in attendance, and they are enthusiastic in expressing their admiration of the beautiful appearance of the bride., the splendor and luxuriousness of the refreshments, and in congratulation the parties on the fitness of the choice that leads them to travel the labyrinth of time together. May the future be as prosperous and happy as the present is bright and flattering.
DUTELLIER - MARSHALL: In New Haven, Oswego Co. [NY], at the residence of the bride's father on the 1st of February 1875, by Rev. A. Brown, Mr. Frank Dutellier of Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY] and Miss Lovella Marshall of the former place.
Death
FISH: At the residence of his son, Dr. M.H. Fish, in this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], on the 27th of February, Almanzor D. Fish, formerly of Cedarville, Herkimer Co. [NY], aged 61 years.
Mr. Almanzor D. Fish who died at the residence of his son Dr. M.H. Fish in this village last Saturday, had resided among us but a short time, but long enough to create a very favorable impression on the part of those who had formed his acquaintance, as a man of intelligence, probity and sociability. He was born and educated in Herkimer county, where he was admitted to the bar, and practiced the legal profession for a number of years with success. He was married in 1837 to Miss Julia A. Flowell, who survives him and will now make her residence with her son in this village. During the agitation of the slavery question from 1844 to the election of Mr. Lincoln he took an active and influential part and contributed liberally of his means, time and talent to the emancipation of slavery. Failing health induced him to retire from the bar, since which time he has given most of his attention to agriculture, though his precarious health forbade severe application to labor. About two weeks ago he was taken with a cold, which, with all medical aid that could be afforded, the weakness of his system was unable to throw off and he rapidly sank, until his death. He leaves, besides a widow, two sons, W.S. Fish, who now resides in Troy and Dr. M.H. Fish of this village. A daughter, Hattie A., died in 1868. His remains were escorted to the depot of the D.L.&W.R.R. on Monday morning by a large number of our citizens, who sorrow at parting with one whom they had so soon learned to esteem, and thence carried to Cedarville, where they were interred with appropriate ceremonies on Tuesday.

On Thursday of last week Samuel Stewart, aged about 21 years, formerly of Coventry, [Chenango County, NY], but lately a resident of Nineveh [Broome Co. NY], and a brakeman on a local freight on the A.&S.R.R. between Carbondale and Nineveh, was fatally injured on Thursday night while coming into Windsor Station. He was passing from one car to another when it is supposed he fell between them, fracturing his skull, killing him instantly. He was dead when picked up by Henry Johnson, baggagemen of the train. Stewart was a new man on the train and, it is thought, did not use the precaution necessary to avoid accident. His remains were returned to Nineveh for interment, and his funeral was largely attended from the Presbyterian Church.
