Tho law will no. allow an officer TO break

ants own house which is his castle; for IL the
defendant were found by the officer in his

tie for him, however well garrisoned IL
might be with filches Of bacon. Neither
could an officer break into Jail to ares. de-
fendan, there. because the defendant, as per-
manens ledger and boarder of the jailor, is pro.
tecied by his roof from civil arrest; bu, the
defendan, no doubt nigh, break CAT. il he
could, as old Thompson did. But where q
felony has been committed, or dangerous
wounds given. or where a minister Of justice
comes armed with process founded upon
breach Of the peace, The Pariy's own house is
no sanctuary for him.
Private individuals are enjoined by law to
arrest an offender when present a, the time a
felony is committed or dangerous icOuad

was attempted not Icing since near by.

be necessary to constitute an arrest, If a oOn-
STAKE or sheriff with a warrant come into 4

Mn EpIToR In addition to what have
already said upon this subject, wish TO call
attention TO one subject not hitherto touched
upon. ! alude TO the near approximation of
steamboat navigation on the Lake and the
Mississippi. This river, you are aware. is
navigable from the Gulf of Mexico to the falls
Of st. Anthony. near ST. Peters; while the
grea. chain Of Lakes. when the falls of ST.
Mary are improved, will be navigable from the
gulf Of ST. Lawrence TO Foad du Lac 1T the
head Of Lake Superior. These two points.
the heads Of navigation on the two great thor
oughfares Of tho continent, come within 100
miles of each other, and the country between
them is one Of the finest in the world, in the
same latitude.
From ST Peters 10 Fond du Lac, in direct
line, is not to exceed 100 miles, and road can
be made in less than $50. A road Is now
opened from st. Peters by the falls of 81. Croix
TO Pekegsmo, on Snake river. and from Peke.
game to Fond du Lac. a trail has been travel
led, and road can be easily made over very
feasible ground to the Lake. The distance by
this route is less than $50 miles--vlzi from
ST. Peters to the falls Of ST. Croix is As miles,
from thence to Pekegamo is estimated at IS
miles, making 90. aad from thence to Fond du
Lac is estimated at 60, or less. But those
acquainted with the route Of this road are con-
fident il can be shortened at least 10 miles 10
the first 90, and probably as much more in The
next 60.
