,S;mOwIar MonOmGnia : Charles s.
Sprague, printer, (sOn Of the Rev. /. N.
sprague, late pastor Of the Fourth Con
gregational Church in Hartford.) was
recently arrested in Brooklyn, N. Y, for
knocking down a lady in the streets, and
stealing one Of her shoes, which was found
in Fis pocket. We formerly knew young
Sprague well. He was a wild youth,
though not malicious or di posed to injure
any one. The father of the prisoner,
who was travelling in the West when he
heard of his sons arrest, communicates
to the Commercial Advertiser a remark
able account of his monomaniac tenden'
cies, which casts into the shade all pre-
vious tales Of mental obliquities which
we ever read Of
"Frsm early boyhood his son had
evinced strong propensity for getting
possession of the shoes of the female
part of the family. This propensity was
periodical. At thirteen or fourteen
years of age it was developed, the fact
being notorious, not to the family but to
the domestics, some of whom being now
married and settled in Brooklyn, are re-
ferred to by name and address. When
the son was about that age the shoes of
Mrs Sprague and her daughters began
to disappear, especially new ones; some
times the pair; when found, land they
were discovered in the sons pocket, in
his trunk, his bed, his room, and slyly
concealed in various other places, they
were generally wet, or if dry had the
shrivelled appearance Of having been
soaked and were unfit to wear. The
father charged this upou the son, threat
ened and reasoned with him, but in vain.
Sometimes the habit would sleep for
months, and he would be joked upon his
improvement then it would return, and
no means, severe or kind, which the pa
rent could devise would check it; and
the only remedy was vigilance, which
was occasionally mingled with such re-
marks as, Glad when Charles is mar
rlcd, then we can keep our Shoes show
ing the notoriety of the propensity. For
this reason Mr.. Sprague says. he was
opposed to the marriage of his son. At
ter the marriage, it was common re-
mark in the family that they wondered
whether Margaret Mrs Charles Spsague)
could keep her shoes At the death of
Mrs. SPrague. the father went to reside
with his son, and about fortnight be-
fore he left for the west, his daughter in.
Law remarked at table that it was strange
what had become of her shoes They
were new ones and were sought for al
over the house in vair, and it was upon
Mr.. Sprague's tongue to say that their
disappearance was easily accounted for
unless Charles had got rid of his old pro-
pensity,' but he checked himself, as the
subject was an unpleasant one. This
statement we can well suppose must be
painful to Mr.. Sprague but we can also
understand the feeling that prompted the
revelation, and the mention of the fact
that predecessors in the family had suf-
fered temporary alteration of mind,
rather than that the charge of crime and
depravity should attach to his son. The
letter indeed fully exhonerates the son
from moral delinquency, for which rea-
son we give it publicly"

EFThs illness of the President is not
the result, as in the case of Gen. Worth
and Col Kirby, of the climate Of Next
co, or the effect Of the protracted resi-.

being over fatigued, and the confined aud
sQltry condition Of the atmosphere.
