neV. She was born at New Portland, in the State of Maine. Her maiden name was Hannah Hanson. Her parents were in ex- l cellent circumstances, and highly respected. At the age of eighteen Hannah Hanson was beautiful and accomplished, and she was the belle of the village. In early life she formed and attachment for Enoch w. Freeman, who resided in an adjoining town. That gentleman paid his addresses 10 her. and the towns people all believed tna' they would make match of 1t. MT. Free. man was then studying for the ministry, and in compliance with the wishes of his parents he was removed to a seminary at some dis tance from home to complete his studies.- This circumstance broke off for some time all verbal intercourse between the parties, though it did not prevent frequent inter- change of feeling by letter. If we may judge from one of the love letters which Mrs. Kinney received, Mr. Freeman must have felt the truth ofthe common adage:

 "'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view," for his VOWS of love and cOnstancy were more fervent than nine- -tenths of the billet doux that have fallen under our observation. In the absence of Mr. Freeman, another lover presented himself to the eye of Miss hanson-no less person than Mr. Ward Winthum, a wealthy tanner of Dover, Me. He was received with some favor by Miss Hanson, and still more so by her parents, who promised 10 unite with him in winning her heart. The parental influence, and the wealth and responsibility of the lover suc- ceedcd, and Miss Hanson, after a moderate courtship, changed her name to Mrs. Ward Winthum. She lived with her husband i1 Dover, for seven years, and by him had three children, who are now living, one daughter, a very beautiful girl, amiabie in department, and highly accomplished. MT. Winthum became embarrassed in business, and a variety of circumstances which it will not be proper here to detail, occasiOned a family teud, and Mir. w. came to Boston, For some time no tidings were gained of him. Mrs. Winthum then removed with her children to Boston, and here she learnt some important and unwritten facts, which occasioned final separation from her hus- band.

 In 1892 she came to board in the house of MT. c. Knapp, where she first saw Mir. Kin ney, and being thrown on her own resources for the support of herself and children. she learnt the trade of a tailoress. Her brother. then residing at Lowell, was taken sick. and sent for her. She went in company with MT. Kinney. On her first visit to Lowell her brother informed her that her cousin. Enoch Freeman, was a settled minister in Lowell, and that he had expressed great desire to see her. Mrs. Winthum lost no time in calling upon the Rev. MT. Freeman, and us our readers may we'll suppose, this step led to renewal of all their former friendship and affection. The fire of love. though years had elapsed, was still alive, and the remembrance of past events easily rekindled the flame. 7

 After this interview, Mrs. Winthum re- turned to Boston with Mir. Kinney, but there was now a magnet at Lowell which attracted her thither. Mir. Kinney often accompanied her, but he wns not aware how powerful rival he had to encounter-that of FIRST LOVE. Not many months elapsed before Mrs. Winthum became the wife elect of the Rev. MT. Freeman, having obtained di- vorce from her first husband.

 After her marriage with Mr. Freeman, Mir. Kinney often visited them, and he was looked upon as friend of the family. They lived very happily together for about year, when MT. Freeman died.

 Some months subsequent to this, Mrs. Freeman came into Boston, and established ht rself in business, in Broomfield st. Mir. Kinney exhibited much regard for her. which gradually ripened into love and after living a widow for two years she married him. She lived with him a little more than year, to all appearance happily, when he dicd.- What followed his death has already been spread before the public.

 In concluding our brief and imperfect sketch, we shall advert tO one or two impor- tant matters growing out of the main charge preferred agains. Mrs. Kinney.

 Our readers will recollect that at the early stage ot this exciting case, Mrs. Kinney was directly and indirectly accused of poisoning the Rev. Mir. Freeman, and to satisfy the public mind upon the subject, it was thought proper that his body should be disiDterred but no evidence was discovered that his death was occasioncd by poison.

 Mrs. Kinney has been also accused of at- tempting to poison her first husband. MT. Winthum, and this, dame Rnmor, with her thousand tongues says was the cause of their To settle this question, letter was sent to MT. Winthum, who now resides at Bangor. and in his prompt reply he posi- lively denies the charge.

 Mrs. Kinney has also been accused of poi soning the father of Mir. Freeman. To satis- fy the public mind, letter was sent to n brother of Mir. Freeman of Minot. Me, and he also denies the charge.

 Joseph c. Hempson, convicted of Bigamy. was brought up for sentence. The Court remarked that n curious fact relating to him. self had come to their knowledge. It was, that while awaiting trial on bail, for marry ing two wives. he had married a third. Our readers may recOllect that this Joseph c. Hempson, while in this village last winter, assumed the name of Dr. Adams. under which he figured largely. and succeeded in marrying Miss Elizabeth Hewlett, of Hemp stead. At that time he had another wife living in New York. He was justly sentenc- cd to the State Prison for four years and
