THErr-4ARREsT-L -BAIL-FUN-R
ARREsr.--For some time back, Messrs.
Bucklin q Co, Of this place have missed
from their store large or small amount OF
money each day.. Finally their suspicious
rested upon one A. j. Winters, who was in
the habit of visiting their store, and in busy
times making himself useful" by waiting on
customers. He continued doing this, until
they were convinced that Winters was the
guilty one, when they struck upon the plan
of marking five pieces of gold, and then all
seemihgly to have business to call them Ell
Their in the ware-room above or the cellar be-
low, leaving Winters alone in the store
The bait was bit at, and when they returned
the money was gone. They immediately is
sued warrant for his arrest, and on Friday
the trial came off. ,e
The counsel for Winters, M. L. Brown,
Esq, demurrcd to the complaint, stating
that the venue was not sufficiently laid, in
heading the affidavit and warrant-Territory
OF Minnesota, County of Scott; and on this
ground the prisoner was released, and away
he went "full tilt" as fast as his legs could
carry him. Another warrant was immedi-
ately made out, and the constable and sun
dry other citizens-oursef among the num-
ber-started in pursuit. Winters had only
about two hundred yards the start, but hav-
ing little more at stake than any of us, he
"plied his oars" to much better advantage
than any of his pursuers. He ran about a
half-mile, and then gave us the dodge and
secreted himself in fence corner. We all
hunted but he could not be found for con-
siderable length of time; but by the indefat-
igable exertions of Mr.. Homer Davis, the
constable, he was found and re-arrested.
The fun was to see Bucklin, with his short
tailed coat, astride of a very small ssbeast''
in hot pursuit after the Fugitive from JUS
tice."
Messrs. Bucklin & Co. cannot tell how
much they have lost by this "precious
scamp" but they think from one to two hun
bred dollars. t
At the second trial after the case had been
gone through with, &C., the Justice, Mr.,
Greenleaf, fined the prisoner fifty dollars
and costs, in default of which the prisoner
is to be incarcerated in the Jail of the county,
or the nearest adjoining jail
Holland & Warner and T. j. Galbraith
for complainant; L. M. Brown for the de-
fence.
A COOP DEED.-A young lady who had
just arrived in the suburbs of this place, on
her way to join her mother, who had came
to Shakopee some months since-met a poor
German or Irish woman in the road having
in her arms young babe. The mother made
complaint to the young lady, statiug her
reverse of life; saying that herself and off:
spring were both sick; that she could not
proceed farther without aid or relief from
her burden. The young lady Immediately
offered to relieve her as far as it was in her
poverty taking the child. The mother
gave up the child, and our young heroine
about "sweet sixteen"obecamec charged with
the cares of nurse. She proceeded to Mr..
P. on Second street, where her mother was
stopping, and the surprise and CONSERVATION
of the young lady's parent can better be i'm
agfned than described.
This young lady would make noble wo-
man, kind mother, and an afiectionate
wife. A saa
THE INDfANs:-We have heard it stated
for several days that large body of the
Sioux Indians are on their way to this place
The number is variously estimated at from
700 to LOO. There has already a consider
able number arrived. We begin to see them
about our streets; and are not unfrequently
visited by them at OUR Office. They want to
the "machine." They are much better
see than previous to the payment. They
clad ow neatly and comfortably clothed.

TAPEwoRM.-TEe Gazette Medica1e asserts
that the Hebrews are never troubled with it.
that pork butchers are particularly liable to
it, and that dogs fed on pork are universally
so afflicted-in fact, it turns out that small
parasite worm called crysticereus, (from two
words signifying small sack and tail)
which much affects pork, no sooner reaches
the stomach than, from the change of diet
and position, it is metamorphosed into the
well known tapeworm; and the experiments
of NJ. Kuchenmeister, of Zittoria, upon a
condemned criminal, have established the
fact beyond all contradiction.
DURABILITY OF IRON SHIps-The iron
ship Richard Golden, (says the Liverpool
MaiD which was built some twelve years
ago, at Liverpool, will repay visit from any
one who is interested in iron ships. She has
been twelve years in the East India Trade,
and has not had the slightest repairs done to
her, hes never leaked drop, and will, to
all appearances, last to an unlimited lenx4h
of time. @ ..-.,,..- -.- -..tt-... -
EE A few days since, Mr.. W. Axesue
of Spartapolis, Rockingham county, w.
la, while killing hog, accidentally scyeeed
one of the arteries in his own throat. The
artery was tied up, but the ligature slippsd
during the night, and he bled to death.
MINNEsoTA.-The United States Steam
Frigate Minnesota, was launched at the
Washington Navy Yard on the 1st She
passed off handsomely. Miss Mann, of Bos-
ton, had the honor of christening the noble
ship, and breaking on her bow bottle
Guys best. She glided into the watery ele-
ment freighted with human life
FREsH PEACHES. Being somewhat &C. n-
der the weather" few days since, and
without appetite for any thing we supposed
procurable in this country in winter time,
desire came over us to be down in Ohio in a
big peach orchard in September or October
Having given expression to this desire, a
dish of large peaches, apparently fresh from
the trees, made lis advent before us forth
with. DR.. Jarvis, Fifth Street, was the ma
gician, who conjured up this pleasing reality.
