A SHERIFF OUTwITTED.-The Hippodrome
exhibited on Saturday, in pleasant country
village not over 20 miles from Milwaukee. The
Sheriff of the county had been notified that a
lot of kpockets-sharp fellows at the bus
iness-followed the Hippodrome, fleeing the
unwary. In order to watch them the better,
our Sheriff disguised himself, and mingled
with the crowd as green un from the rural
districts. He passed the day in close observa-
ton of all suspicious looking characters, but
made no discoveries until about 8 o'clock.
when he found, to his mingled surprise and
amusement, that his oaon pocket had been pick
ed cIean-wallet notes, checks, bills, &C., all
gone. Luckily he reached town in time to
stop the payment of the checks, and the loss
otherwise was small. He would give some
thing to make the acquaintance of the clever
rogue who SO offectually turned the tables on
him.

Mormon WIvEs.-B. G. Ferris, in his re-
cent work on Utah and the Mormons, gives
gloomy picture of the progress of the licen-
tious and demoralizing system of polygamy,
and its effects upon society, among the Nor
mons. Of the Mormon acite, distinguished
from the concubine, he says =
ga wife in Utah, cannot live more than
half her days. In families where polygamy
has not been introduced, she suffers an agony
of apprehension on the subject, which can
scarcely be conceived, much more described.
There is a sad, complaining, suffering look,
obvious to the most ordinary observer, which
tells the story, if there We're no other evil
dence on the subject In most cases it is pro-
ducing premature old age, and some have al
ready sunk into an early grave, under an
intolerable weight Of afiiction. The man,
from the moment he makes up his mind to
bring one or more concubines into the family,
becomes always neglectful, and in most cases
abusive to his wife"

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CHoLERA.-Dr. Kill
bourne, in a communication to the Nel0 York
Times, says in regard to diet, during the pre-
yalence Of the cholera, there is a prevailing
error not entirely confined to the n-proIes
sional part of the community. 1t consists sin
the idea that should any disease prevail epi-
demically, we must, of necessity, make
entire change in our diet, without much re-
gard to our previous or present state of health,
or the effects of the dletetic system we are
pursuing. Every psychologist knows, that
sudden changes of long continued habits are
always injurious A practical applicat on of
this fact would materially lessen the bills of
mortality. But one asks what is the proper
course to pursue under such circumstances
l answer, pursue that course, both in eating
and drinking, which you have found from
long experience the best for your health In
lS49, more than one medical man, in this
city, fell sacrifice, because of non- conformity
to this well known physiological law" He
recommends wearing wooden flannel next to
the skin-that i" fear be banished from the
mind, thousands having died by cholera pro-
duced by fear.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-The Brattle6oro' Ea-
gle has an account of an interesting criminal
case, which has just been settled in Orleans
county, VT. Seven OF eight years since,
woman named Hannah Parker was arrested,
tried and found guilty, of the murder of her
infant. The proof of her guilt was conclu-
sive, but on her trial some exceptions were
reserved for the consideration of the Supreme
Court, and she was remahded to jail to await
their action. In the Supreme Court the case
was continued from term to term for six or
seven years, she in the meanwhile making the
Jail her head quarters, but having very wide
range of jail yard The Supreme Court at
the last session reversed the former Judgment,
and she was again brought up for trial. The
same witnesses were called at this trial as at
the former, but, singular to relate the facts
had faded entirely from their memories. Even
the witness to whom her confession was made,
was unable to testify positively that she ad-
nitted her guilt. Of course ga reasonable
doubt " was raised in the minds of the jury,
and she was acquitted.

to question the little fellow, in order to ascer.

1.-THE OLD STONE MILL."-The city council

by the mayor that the late Judah Touro, of
New Orleans, bequeathed the sum of $4,000
to the former city, on condition that it be
expended in the purchase and improvement of
the property in Newport known as the G Old
Stone MILL" to be kept as public park or
promenade ground. The subject was referred
to committee by the council. 1t will be
disgrace to Newport if the beautiful lot on
which the curiosity called the Old Stone
Mill stands, is not now secured to the city,
and improved and thrown open torhe citizens
and visitors. 1t is in the heart of the city,
and may be made delightful place of resort.
We feel that other people than the citizens of
Newport have right to speak on this subject
