A Novel Method of Dispensing
Justice.

The following is related of Mayor Foley
of Covington, Ky. Some months since a
man was arrested and brought before him
for whipping his wife. The Mayor fined
him and let him go, but within week the
chap was again arrested for the same ntfence;
this time, his honor imprisoned him. and
after serving out his time he went home and
again abused his better half, and notwith-
standing the Mayor fined and imprisoned
the fellow for each offence, he would persist
in his vile behavior The Mayor, after try
ing for months to reform him, had well nigh
given up the task, until one morning this
hero of a hundred fights with his wife)
was arrsigned on the old charge. "Well,"
says his honor, Il suppose you think | am
going to fine youl' Il dun Know said the
rulprit. Perhaps you Imagine will i'm
prison you,' continued Mayor F Il expect
so,' was the answer. 4 shall do neither,
said the Mayor, Il discharge you The
fellow g countenance began to brighten up
when his honor adjourned the court, and af-
ter stepping to the door, invited him outside.
Now, YOU mean DEVIL said Mayor F., Il
have fined you and imprisoned you, till am
tired of il, an1 yet you persist in ilI-treating
your wife. will now tell you, that if |
ever hear of you abusing that woma again.

An Extraordinary Hail Storm.

The Mobile Tribune gives an account oi
a singular hail storm at Eastport, on the
Warrior river, Ala, on the 7th inst. The
morning was clear and pleasant, but at ten
clock thunder was heard in the distance;
heavy clouds were seen Immediately after
followed by a c,ld northwest wind, and
heavy drops of rain for about ten minutes.
Then came hail, of which the Tribune says:
For twenty minutes hail-stones. measur-
ing from one to two and half inches in
diameter, fell thick and fast. The heavens
were full of descending erolites. The river
was lashed into fury-on its surface spray
and foam were alone observable; while on
either side limbs and leaves were falling
from the trees; the ground was white and
litera ly covered with enormous sized hail
stones, which were reboundng from the
earth and dancing about in wild confusion.
u fter the storm passed over, the sun again
burst forth in all its glory; but the warmth
of it's rays failed to take the keen chill from
the atmosphere during the remainder OF the
day

Coon ADvIeE.-The Free Presbyterian
in slluding to the fact that Ex-Gov. Bebb
was discharged for shooting a young man
who was engaged in 'belling' his son on the
occasion Of his marriage, says:
We hope this case will serve as a warning
to the ruffians who lead, and the thoughless
youths who follow, in these disgraceful pro-
ceedings. The practice of 'belling' newly
marie people has grown into an intoler-
able nuisance in this region of country, as
we'll as elsewhere. 1t is insuferable that
at time when the curren. of two lives has
just begun to flow together in harmony and
they are rejoicing in their new born happi-
ness, their ears should be assailed for hours
with every conceivable manner of discord
aud hideous noise. Sill more intolerable
is it when obscene language is used on the
occasion. Thenthe practiceis not only riff
anly but inconceivably stupid. A half dozen
asses, braying in concert could Guido their
human im:taIors in producing ugly sounds.
if not in stupidity. But we do not intend
to insult the ass by insinuating that he
could be coaxed or forced to do any thing
so uncigil and stupid. He is too much of a
gentleman.
Could we gain the ear of all young men
we would say to them earnestly and kindly
never engage in this low practice, if you
respect yourselves, CT desire that others
should respect you.

frDr. G. a. Cutler, Of Topeka, kansas
writes to The Indianapolis Journal, in reiu-
tatiou of the current calumny that the Free
State men of Kansas refused TO vote at the
Constitutional Election merely because the
call emsnated from the bogus Legislature
He says:
The village of Topeka contains from 500
to 200 inhabitants, majority OF whom
are voters-tbe male population being large
" in the preponderanee all over the ierri-
terv. With the vote in the surrounding
country, she would probably be able to cssi
six or seven hundred votes, and, ] believe:
with two exceptions, all Free State men
sThere neper has been an officer here either
Sheriff Or Deputy, to take the Csnsus, land con-
seouently the citizens, no matter how anxl'
ously they may have been, have not had II
in their power to register their names, and
are. therefore, defranchised. Suppose We
wanted 10 vote what are we to 90! Mustwe
neglect our business and throw away our
time. which 70 us il va luable, in hunting up
these bogus concerns, and begging them to
pace our names On the registers and thereby
make citizens of usl doubt much whether
YOU could prevail on many Of our farmers,al
This season OF the year, to throw down then
,l.ws. and start down to Missouri in search
of the bogus Sheriffs or their deputies. MOI
is Topeka the only place that is slighted in
this manner. Every Free State town in the
Territory that have heard from, and b :
lieye have heard from nearly ail,are treated
in he same manner. While in those in
which there are both Pro-Slayery and Free
State men, the former are scarcely ever
sliphted, the latter invariably are.

WooL.-The wool trade has opened. bu

WooL.-The wool trade has opened, but
the prices especially of the lower grades, are
rather unsettled. We quote for coarse
wools 25 cts. per pound, full blood As, inter-
mediate grades in proportion. The large
buyers are very cautious, and seem indis.
posed to make contracts for the future.
They are not certain, ,as yet, what effect the
late change in the tariff on coarse foreign
wools will produce upon the prices Of the
domestic, and are disposed to wait. The
prices now seem about the same as at the
opening of last years market. but are less
than those paid at its close. Fine wools
will probably fully maintain last years rates.

What Qualities a nan for Office.

This is purtineni question at the present
time. The people are beginlng to look
round for suitable men, to fill the various
ofsces Of County and State; and upon this
important matter it is but right that we
should carefully consider the requisite
claims to Office. The American people are
governed too much by sympathy aud i'm
yu,se and not enough by reason in the selec-
tion of their rulers; by impulse in higher
and BY sympathy in the lower departments.
I, 10 too often made the plea that such and
such /. one needs an Office. They are in
embarrassing circumstances, and if We Go
no, give them lift they may come to want
This ell has it's bearing, and is frequently
urged, estireiy forgetful that to sueh the
temptation to appropriate vi hat does not be-
long TO them is double What il would be
were they in better circumsiances. We Go
not mean to say that poverty "a any oeJee-
ton, but thar when semen beev"es poor
through the mismansgement Of his own
affairs, that be is not the man to take care
of The affairs of others, and we. should not
be governed by .spmpathy in such care;
neither should We be ready to take every
man who offers himself, for a man is not
the best Judge of his own Qualification
Never select man that is;eterna ly begging
and wire working for Office. Such men
have not the public good SO muchat heart
as their own sggrandisement.
We should above all things try and COM
bine honesty and ability. Ii man has
honesty and be lacking in capacity he Is
liable to error. and also lisble to be led
as,rsy by sharper ones, who are ever ready
to use such for there own purposes, or on
the contrary if man have ability and lack
honesty then is he the more to be feared
for his capacity, would only enable him TO
do The more mischief. But combine these
auallncatons ana we nave man ""o
first attend to our afiairs to the best ad-
vantage sni then do us no wrong. Such
are the men we want, men tina. are true to
the best interests of the people and who
have constantly before them the principles
ofjustice and right. Select good ,honest,true
men. that the people can have confidence
In, and they will do more to give party
power and position than any other means
that can be used. lie. the opposition to
the Democracy rally their 'orces, and with

The two largest mails passing over the
Terre Haute and Alton and the Chicago
Branch of the Illinois Central Railroad were
stolen from the depot in this place during
the last week, nnd robbed of their letters
being carried about one quarter o. a mile
from the depot into the tank hose, there
rihed, and then throwc into the well of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company, where
they were found by one of The hands en-
gagged at work there.
They are now in the hands of the Post
master, who is using every means to save
what little matter tina. was found left in the
sacks, but owing to their being in the well
some eight or ten days,it requires very care
full handling, the matter being entirely pas

They evidently have been large letter

are the mails from Chicago TO Terre Haute
