Pierce was a married 1 man. deserting his lovely and accomplished wife, the daughter of Abram Thomas, one ot the wealthiest residents of Savre. I'a. Previous to his flight. Pierce induced Ills wife to sign a c ieck purporting to be for fHO; It was drawn, however, for ?l.r.( a. which money he procured from li e bank, and tied. It is believed, to callfo-n? > with Mrs. Biggs, who took with her a vo j> g chl'd. The elopement created much exebement at the time, wlileh has now been intensiiied by the sudden death of the wife whom Tierce deserted. Mrs. Pierce died unexpectedly, a day or two ago. under clrciuustances which seem to indicate that her death was from poison administered to her by her husband before he tied. She was the possessor of considerable property, and the opinion is ex pressed t hat pierce thought to get control of it in the event of her death and his return afterward. There is a strong , public feeling against him, the people of the tow n being exasperated to such a degree that, ! st-ould he return, he might suffer summary punishment. a Peculiar Will.?In the Herald of a fewdays ago was given an account of the lonoiv death of Mrs. Klmer C.

Her'death recalls a remarkable will new on tile In Suffolk countv, made by her husband, who was Dr. Franklin Skidmore, of Babylon. They separated some years ago. mutually, and Mrs. skidmore bouud herself to sign deeds by which he could carrv on his real estate operations for a period or tea years. He was a large real estate dealer. About a jear ago lie died, leaving a will in which he bequeathed his personal property to his housekeeper, Mrs. Bower, and a life Interest in bis real estate, provided that she shall never return to her husband nor form an alliance with any other man. Mrs. Skidmore took steps to have the will contested, but for some unexplained reason it went to probate.?[.V. r. il rahi, A Lecture fok tub Ladies.?Judge Oildersleeve. of New York, is after the ladies' picket?. lie had a boy before him arrested for pocket-picking, and while he conid not Justify the boy, he read the ladles a lesson which will apply here as well as there.
