POLICE COURT.

BreAmY.--On Thursday nfternoon Mr..
N. Clark, of New York, in behalf Of Mrs.
Jpiia Branch, obtained q warrant against
her leige lord and husband, Harding
Branch, for the crime Of bigcmy, by hin,
committed in this city, in June last.
The case, as stated by the genuines Mrs
Branch, was strong one. She satd that
while she lay sick, in New York, in April
last, he left her to attend to some business
out Of the city, but said he would return on
the following Tuesday. The wished-for
Tuesday soon came, but not the expected
husband, nor even nny tidings of him
Week after week Of anxiety passed nwny,
and no Harding Branch was either seen OF
heard Of, and three little branehe, withered
almost to the core in weeping for the parent
tcm. The first CLEAN Of intelligence ol
him which reached Mrs. Branch, was a ru-
NOR that he had been offering his hear,
hand and fortune to yoVoy lady in dis
tart place. Thither she repaired, and ar
rived just in time to learn that man Of the
same name had recently opened an amatory
correspondence, breathing the profo0ndes,
Professions Of honorable intentions" tow
ards another lady in another place, and tina,
had Just departed to unAe his heart and life
to his latest fame" She followed af-
ter him, but without avail-the proposed
match had slipped through, for wal, of con-
sent Of parents. On her return 10 New
York, she was informed that one Harding
Branch had, in June last, perpetrated mat.
rimony with Miss Julia Ross, who, ia
consequence thereof, of course became julia
Branch, the second. This was something
of dfscorery--but on the arrival Of Mrs
Branch here, she ascertsined that this was
not the end of Branch's enterprises to over
shadow this happy land ~Ith the branches
Of his family tree. Before the expiration
Of his June honey moon, he hud essayed
the heart of another aud third JuIia-a
sweet name, for which he had most ro-
mantle, though rather Oriental prediction.
C. with his demonstration
upon the affections Of Julia the Third, bs
also secured an interest in the good graces
Of Miss " --r, but how far be sue
ceeded in negotiating an alliance " for bet
ter or worse" is not known.
Indignant ot her husbands wholesale in
fidelity, Mrs. Branch applied to the Court,
through n relative, and obtaind a warrant
for his arrest and before she was well
aware Of the effect of the movement, in the
heat Of natural resentment she had booked
him for The State Prison, where, as she al
terwards learned, he could be Of no U.S.

not knowing how to restrain its dire affects
on its devoted victim, she cursed herself for
her fatal tashness: Before midnight, escorf
ted by veteran Reid, he was on his way TO
Jail, and she was frantically pacing her
chamber in the very despair Of distraction.
In one respect the husband and wife were
precisely alike throughout the night-they
neither slept together, nor slept apart -
his eyes wefe cured with wakefulness, and
sleep refused to bless hers. La another
respect, they differed-he wept in wrath.
aud she sighed in sorrow. Morning came,
and though n very fine one, brought no Joy
to either she declared she could not drink
a sip of her warm coffee, for thinking that
he mipht have cold breakfast he
couldn't drink his savory skillee-gillee, for
want of toast and butter by way of passport.
Both, therefore, equally disenjoyed their
breakfast, but for different reasons she for
want Of her husband--he for want of his
toast. After breakfast-as the gods would
have 1.-THE unhappy poir unexpectedly

Their eyes cleaned with the light of

The officers looked on in amazement-
here was a consummatlon not even
drcnmpt of-"T d---lto pay, and no
pitch hot !" The chances in favor Of nm
amicnble adjustment were hundred to one.
The LAWYERS on both sides were sent for;
aud the matter in its new aspect submitted
TO their Joint advisement The learned
practitioners caught the contagious roi''ance
of the scene; and laying aside their qulrks
and qnbbles, set their wits to work, like
Christians and gentlemen to perfect the
work of reconciliation They all retired to
the Judges private room, and in precisely
three hours and half the complainant came
oot paid tsc costs of Court which had ac--
crued, and consented to q nolle prosequi.
This arrangement leaves every thing ex-
actly as Il stood prior to the issuing OF the
warrant--in sfdfu quo--and all parties in
tcrcsted are still free to prosecute, or not TO
prosecute, as seemeth good unto them.

ANEcboTg or A Doo.--A gentleman resi-
ding in Seville had dog named Carlo, and
fine knowing dog he was. His master
who had much confidence IN his prudence
and discretion, not only employed him
to bring provisions from the market, bur
also entrusted him with money to pay for
the various articles commissioned. For a
long time Carlo conducted himself IN the
most irreproacbable manner, carrying the
billet and money to the butchers and con-
veying home piece Of beef or 4 fine fat
pullei, as the case might be. Carlo eontin-
ued to gil his situation in the commissarTnt
to the entire satisfaction Of the parties con-
ccrncd, no fraud, no peculation, was ever
laid to his charge; in short, Carlo showed
by his daily conduct, TINT he not only knew
the duties Of commisary, but whnt 70 still
more remarkable, he actually practised
them. But alas how many men IN the
midst of an honable career, may he tempted
10 make a false step-so n was with Carlo.
Some shabby dog, It was supposed, had
affronted him he set down the basket, and
while engaged in chastising his foe, an
urcbin peeped into the basked, seized the
piece of money, aad directly made off,
without waiting to congratulate the victor.
CorIo having sufficiently punished his ad-
vcrsary, shook his ears, and, quite uncon-
scious of the loss he had sustained, seized
the basket with his teeth, trottcd of to mnr-
ket in double quick time, and presented
himself before the butcher. How is this!
there is no money here Carlo" said the
butcher, after, taking out the billet, and
turning the basket upside down. For a few
moments Carlo adng his head in evident
confusion; aud then, as ifa sudden thought
had struck him, he rushed out Of the mar
ket. Away he went heller skelter through
the crowded street, upsetting Gallego with
his water jar, bouncing against q seller Of
water melons, and running full tilt against
AN Italian pedIar, crenting dire confusion
among his saints and Madonas, on he went
till he reached the square where a number
Of boys were collected playing at pitch and
toss. Here Carlo made halt for a few
minutes, until seeing a piece Of money sim
liar to the one that had been stolen from
him, he pounced upon it and disappeared

money took up the well filled basket, and
