A CAUTIOUS WITNESS.

The CINCINNATI Enquirer tells the fol
lowing story of man named James Nc
Ewing, who had charged his friend, Johr
Holland, with stealing pistol:
James, when called upon the stand
however, exhibited the bump of eau.
tiousness in an eminent degre. "You
see, said he, addressing the Court in an
extremely confidential manner, "Hol,

said the Judge.

James, with knowing lee 81 amt q

"What did it cost you z" demanded
the Judge, waxing rather stern.
Now you talk" replied the witness;
"I paid dollar for it,
"Now tell me-" said the Court, 4" did
you not think it was joke, or did you
believe he meant to steal it 2"
"Now, my dear follow" retorted
James, executing at the same time Ia
pid succession of winks and mods, " that

You see I'm on oath and
"Sit down, sir!' wrathfully thund-
cred the Court " this appears to be a
prosecution got up for the sake of perse-
cution. John Holland you are dis

And John, WHO is burly, good-na-
tured looking fellow, marched trium-
phantly into the street, where he had
taken about six strides when he was
tapped on the back by his old crony,
Jim, who congratulated him, upon bis
escape, hauled out the bottle, which, with
sparkling eyes, James clutched. and
holding it to his mouth, was, when We
last saw him, intently gazing upward.

ORDER OF "SPoTTERs. ~ STARTLING
DEvELoPMENTs.-The case of James Par
malice, George Judson, and others, on
trial or under sentence in the County
Court, now in session, demands some
thing more than passing notice; that
the youth of our city may by a timely
warning, be saved from so disastrous
fate as has come upon them. The two
named, are respectively 10 and 20 years
of age, and with four others had united
in q secret society, for the purpose of
theft, burglary, highway robbery, &c.
They had a constitution and by laws for
their guidance, which they had signed,
together with a pledge to screen each
other from detection, and help each other
out of difficulties. The took the name of
"spotters," hired room for their meet
ings, and provided themselves with dark
lanterns, slung shot, two clubs Is inches
long, painted black, the ends being load
ed with lead, also pistol. They selec-
ted Parmalee as their leader-and, by
their articles of association could not ad-
NIT member. or enter upon any scheme
without his knowledge and concurrence;
and whateverhe directed they were bound
to follow. Judson was the unscrupulous
abetter of his leader. He is native of a
sister city, where has been connected
with gang for similar purposes. His
conduct has been such as to cause his ex.
pulsion from his fathers house-in re.
venge for which he broke into and robbed
it Of $500, for which he was arrestet
and tried, and escaped by hiring witness
es to swear him off. He then came ant
took up his residence in this city, ant
assisted in forming, if he did not origi
nafe, this plot for living by preying upol
the community. The other four were
