Presentment of the Grand Jury, Spartan
burgh, Fall Term, 1881.
The Grand Jury farther presents as a
grievance the organization Of Political So
cieties or clubs, now going on throughout the
State, as calculated, in our opinion to mis-
lead the people, and keep alive an undue
degree OF excitement on political questions;
to weaken the moral force of our obligations
to "protect and defend" the Union Of the
States, and as having an insidious tendency
to destroy and subvert the pure principles
OF Republicanism.-N. Y. Com. Adv.

tradesman who appeared to be of respecta-
BILE standing, applied to the police magis-
trate for advice as how he should act for
the purpose Of placing his daughter under
duress in consequence. of her having taken
to an Infamous mode of living. The father
was accompanied by his son-in.law who
made similar application in reference to
another OF the old mans daughters, to whom
he was married.
The magistrate signed warrants, for the
apprehension of the parties complained OF.
The unmarried and younger girl OF whom
her father complained, was FIRST arrested;
she appeared to be about 16 years of age
OF rather pretty and innocent appearance
As soon as she perceived her father in the
police Office, she seemed violently affected,
and on being questioned as to her mode of liv-
ing, she burst into convulsive sobs, and ex-
claimed that her sister had led her to ruin.
While she was still in the Office, her mar
ried sister was brought 10; her countenance
bore different impression from that of the
younger girl. She avowed her determine
ton to follow the life which she had led, and
declared that she would not return to live
with her husband. The husband endeavor-
ed IN the Office, to induce her to return to
him but she peremptorily refused; he then
applied to the court for warrant to CON-
init her TO the Penitentiary, but as no act
was proved against her, for which an in
carccration should follow, the court declar-
ed that she could not be imprisoned-par-
tlcularly as she had never been obliged to
apply for pecuniary aid from the city. In
the case o! the younger and unmarried fe-
male, the magistrate decided that she should
be sent to the House o. Refuge-and she
was accordingly detained, and subsequently,
sent to the House of Refuge. Her married
sister was set mt libeFty, aad 90 far from,

N waiting, she walked towards the Five
Points.-N Y. Conr.
