SUICIDE OF A WIFE-At Ontonagon, on
Lake Superior lately, the wife of Mr.. Hub
bel, Lawyer, killed herself by cutting her
throat. The reason and circumstances were
said to be these She believed that her in
FAINT child would be an idiot, and this idea so
deranged her mind that she gave it itlaudanum
and it died. She then took the same poison
herself, and soon afterwards cut the veins of
her arm, and then her throat. The latter
was done when her husband was in the ROOM
but before he could arrest her purpose.

Gordon against Simons f. Palmer.-This
interesting trial, which occupied all of Thurs
day, terminated this morning by dismissing
the Suit as to Justice Simons, and verdict
in favor of the other defendant, Palmer.
1t appeared by the evidence that year
ago, Palmer, who was police officer, arrest
ed the plaintiff and his partner, and also a
man by the name of Barrett-brought them
before Justice Simons and charged them ver-
bally with committing breach Of the peace
and violation Of the city ordinance in such
cases. The cause of this disturbance appears
to have originated in the attempt of Mr.. Cor
don and his partner to eject from their store
person who was disorderly and had used
offensive language
The City Justice was proceeding to frame
the complaint and preparing to try the case,
when by reason of some interruption or
or some other cause, he ordered the parties
arrested, including the plaintiff, to be taken
to the county Jail, where they were detained
some fifteen minutes before their case was
finally tried and disposed of.
1t was maintained that this detention in
Jail was illegal and unwarranted, and the
plaintiff claimed heavy damages in the action
both from the City Justice and the officer
Palmer, in whose custody he had been placed
His Hon. Judge Nelson decided in effect
that where party is brought before mag
istrate of competent jurisdiction, either by
an officer or person acting in an official
capacity, who charges him with an offence,
that no warrant is necessary to confer juris-
diction on the magistrate, as the party is al
ready in Court and before him, and that such
charge is sufficient to invoke the cognzance
of the magistrate and to give him jurisdiction
Of the case-and that as it is necessary by
the Statute, that the magistrate, before he
proceeds to trial should have formal COM
plant in writing, prepared and sworn to, and
that certain preliminaries should be first ad
justed, he may order the accused party to be
detained in custody a reasonable time, until
he is ready to hear the case-not exceeding
"a hours-that the County Jail in such cases
is not an improper place of custody, and
thereupon on motion of the counsel Of Mr..
Simons, the action was dismissed as to him
and the case of Palmer went to the Jury
upon the question of the legality of the orig
inal arrest-who rendered verdict of ac-
quittal.
The case was very fully argued on both
sides by M. =. Ames, Esq, for the plaintiff;
Messrs. Masterson and Horn for Mr.. Smons
and w. Wilkin, Esq, for Mr.. Palmer.
County Of Ramsey Us. Michael Young.-
The defendant was indicted tor grand larce-
ny, for the oflense of stealing two cows, and
butchering them, in June, 1856. The hide
and quarters were alleged to have been found
on his premises. Case not concluded.
County Of Ramsey os. Mary .4gnew.-
This defendant, who was arraigned for steal
ing fifty rolls of ribbon at the fire, Oct 1st,
from Mrs. Stokes, plead guilty, and was sem
fenced by the Judge to pay a fine Of $75.

thousand, being great Republican gain, and
a splendid victory over the coalition of the

ECONOMY BECOMING FAsHIoNABLE.-The
New York Mirror has the following:
We have reason to believe that simplicity
and economy in living and dress will be the
prevailing style in high life in the great
Metropolis during the coming season. 1t
will be voted "mauuais ton" as well as bad
taste to indulge in expensive habits. Good
taste in dress, equipage and social appoint
ments, is, after all, but the highest express
ion of what the French call conrmable-ap-
propriate and harmonious to the OCCASION
1t is not convenahe to dress richly when the
whole commercial world is under cloud -
nor is it graceful for a lady to display herjew-
els when her husband, or her brother, or low
er is on the brink of failure, or has passed the
Rubicon, which separates worldly prosperity
from heart-racking calamity.

suffering million who have been fattening the
greedy pockets Of unscrupulous landlords by
paying double prices for the shanty we are

however, and soon the poor man can hire

THE CITY.

MEETING OF CITIzENs-MEAsUREs FOR FL
NANcIAL RELIEF PRoPosED.-A meeting of
the merchants and others convened in the
City Hall on Saturday night to hear the re-
port of the Committee appointed to wait upon
the Governor.
A. L. Larpenteur was called to the chair,
and J. j. Knox appointed Secretary.
The committee, through Mr.. w. l.. Ban
ming, chairman, reported that they called on
Gov. Medary, who received the committee
with great cordiality and respect, and express
ed his willingness to use the power belong
ing to his department, to alleviate in any
way possible the necessities which are now
felt by all classes of our people.
Being on the eve of journey, he referred
the matter to the Secretary, who disregarded
the urgent reasons of the committee, for call
ing session ofthe Legislature, as we'll as the
spontaneous petition Of our citizens for the
same object.
The committee did not reflect on the con-
duct of the Executive department, but said
that no hope could be entertained of any ac
ton for relief in that quarter, and recon-
mend that the people devise means for their
own relief
The report was accepted, and free dis
cussion as to the means to be used for our re-
lief was had from different leading mer-
chants and bankers, and several propositions
made, and plans proposed.
The one finding the most support was in
favor of having the city, county, and Terrific
ry issue orders in small sums, " hich might be
used as circulating medium, but different
motions were made and lost, on this point.
A motion was finally adopted that COM
mittee be appointed to devise some immedi-
ate means of relief, to report at meeting to
be convened at this Hall on Tuesday evening.
Committee-Messrs. harrington, Edgerton,
Irvine, Pease and Caldwell.
The meeting then adjourned.

when with the material, the industry,

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-DwEILING HOUSE
CONSUMED Yesterday morning. about hall
past five o'clock, a fire broke out in the
kitchen part of the residence of A. Willough-
by, ESQ, situated on the north side of Sixth
street, between Roberts and Jackson sts., and
in short time entirely consumed it, togeth-
er with most of the furniture, clothing and
other effects of the family.
1t is not known accurately how the fire
originated, but it is supposed, from defective
tiue. 1t had gained so much headway when
first discovered, that all efforts to extinguish,
it were Of no avail. The entire building
which was of frame, was consumed.
MIR. W. estimates his total loss, on house
and effects, at about $4,000. OF this there
was an insurance of $l.5OO on the house.
But few of the citizens knew anything
of the occurrence until later in the day, as
only one alarm bell was rung. Could not
some arrangements be made by which a gen
