CLEVEn CAP/PUBS or • SUPPOSID THlgr.—Not many
mile, from tL o county town, and only a few days ago,
there occurred an incident which those who dud fault
vith tl o police roma there relgoing supreme, ought to
be made sconainted with, evincing as It does a keen-
ness of apprehension and suolt a Moire to watch the
public interest al dose not often occur. A certain
reepeotable " jobber," whom we will call J,teeph, had
bce working during the day at • respectable trades-
man's, and on Joe's leaving work be was requested by
his master to take • hasket home with him, no that on
the following morning he might forward 11 10 its deetb
nation. The tradesman retired to his country residence,
and Joseph went towards his bumble dwelling. The
beast seems to have been rather weighty, for about
half way between his master's shop and his own home,
Joe found It convenient to rest on a raertaln bridge;
and, as It was about sight o'clock at night, and the
stars were shining brightly, he was enjoyieg • pipe, and
no doubt having • quiet soliloquy, iuminating perhaps
on thing' in general, and pig killing in particular, as
he bad that morning killed an animal, which was now
waiting to be out up. He was thus enjoying the even-
ing breesa when • rough voice., proceeding from • tall
man dressed in blur, aroused hiri from his reedits.
tions, by inquiring what he had In that 'ere besket.
Joe replied be did not know, and the guardian of the
public pesos said he ought to koow. goeattoood as to
how he tame by it, and what be was going to do with
it, he " • round unvarnished tale unfolded" of all he
knew about It. But the pilieeman was not thus to be
turned aside from precise Inquiry. U. had caught some
one at last ; here was something he bed disoovered.
Joseph was told he must accompany the blue-meted
gentleman to the police•statlon, and bring along the
basket. Now Joe could not see this; and as his tor-
mentor had laid hands on the article In dispute, he told
him if he wanted the basket carried up tte street, be
would have to carry it himself. Just then, however,
an inferior blue-ooat made his appearanoe •' to him was
assigned the honour of carrying the said basket, and he
followed his superior and Joe to the stardom Here a
search will made, • quantity of Imtt,r, some artieles of
wearing apparel, to. were found in the basket, end
Joe was given into Hie °barge of • P.C., with strict
orders: Be sure that you do not allow him to some
out, and take oars that no one saes him." Poor Joe
was now In dozen°e vile, and searching enquiries were
at ones made . • oil trudged • stoutly-built adder, two
miles oat, and two miles back, to the house of the
tradesman whom Joe had named as having isonsigned
the basket to his care. Two long weary hours the pri-
soner chafed and waited; • pig was waiting to be wit
up, and be hod last the job; and what would the
missile say? At length the captor made his appearame,
and, bowing, said, "Joe, It Is all right; you gen take
the basket, and go along." "That be for • tale,"
replied Joe, "you brought the basket hare, and If you
want It taken away, you will have to do it yourself;
be darned If I'll touch the thing again." Joseph,
released, went home; but who shall describe the feel-
ings of the missal, at the tneareeration of her husbaud
and who was beard to say, "If the likes o' it bad
happened a week ago, It would have been the
death o' me"—rriferring, as we were told, to an inter-
eating event that bad then come off. It in a consola-
tion to know that Jo* does net 110001 the worse far his
coedoement, and that the basket and he contents
safely arrived at its destination the following morning.
