POLICE CASES YrsrERDAY-Refore Justice
WalJridye.-Ira S. Rankin was brought up for
stealing, but no evidence appearing, he was
discharged.
John Harrison, charged with refusing to as
sist an officer, was discharged by mercy of the
Court.
Ira S. Rankin, drunk, was fined two dollars
and costs-not being in possession thereof, he
went to Jail.
Patrick Porter and George Hevncr, drunk,
were each fined one dollar and costs.
"a We hear Of u small sale of Real Estate
yesterday. Harvey Ray, Jr., sold 2o17o feet,
corner of Valley and Main Streets, for $4,000.
These are about the figures asked before the
panic. and this, with other recent sales, prove
that Burlington comes out unscathed-that in.
side property has not been sold ut fictitious
prices heretofore-and there is therefore no
rninous reduction in prices to upset everything
and create general bankruptcy among real.
estate operators.
The Americans of Indiana, headed by X. w.
Thompson Of Terrc Hause, an old wing con-
gresham, the same tha: threw the electoral vote
Of the state into the hands of Buchanan, in
1856. held q mass meeting at Terre Haute, a
week since, and while tacitly opposing this Lee
compton iniqui.y they rolled themselves up in
the customary resolutions OF national" self
righteousness, denouncins both the democrats
and republicans as sectional and thanking God
that they are not as other men. 1t comes very
hard for these old foges to recognize The fact
that they are dead.
Gov. WISE IN AFooLlsn Flx.-Last St. Pat
rick's Day, Gov. Wise, unable or unwilling to
attend an Irish Publication to which he had
name Of Curran, which has travelled the rounds
ofpapers ever since, giving increased notoriety
If not reputation, to it's reputed author. The
Philadelphia Pennsylvania. however, comes
forward with the following statement, which
places the Governor in that extreme wing of
radcalism which not only hates tyranny, but
tramples upon the laws of property:
A regard for truth induces US to say, that the
tosst in question is a fragment Of the peroration
to n most eloquent speech made by the Rev.
Henry Giles, in the Musical Fund Hall of this
city, in the year 1857, and which was charac-
terzed by the United States ss one Of the most
powerful and impressive discourscs ever deliver.
ed in this community.
Mr.. Giles said, in speaking of Curran, whom
he denominated ''the glory of the Irish Barr"
"He was true when integrity was treason; he |
was brave when honor was rebellion; he stood
by the accused and the doomed, when to pity
was to participate, and he was loyal to liberty
when even to name her was to die"
PRESENTATION OF PLArE.-We had the plea.
sure of being present, yesterday, at a presenta-
ton Of [tin] plate to beautiful and accomplish.
ed young lady, the wife OF one of our citizens.
The plate consisted Of d magnificent tea service
Of one piece-a teapot. 1t was manufactured
1t the establishment of Messrs. j. w. L. C. A.
White, of this city, and is a superb specimen of
artistic taste and skip. It cost the snug sum of
ifty cents. Not the least interesting por ion of
he circumstance is, that the lovely and amiable
recipient, (who was, on the interesting occasion,
most bewitchingly dressed in gorgeous bodice |
IF twill muslin, with sal Genet skirt and calfskin |
'hoes,) is every way worthy Of the mark IF re-
'pect and admiration which has been conferred
upon her.
ROBBERY AND BURGLARY AT OQUAwKA.-We
'ear that the stores OFFS S. Phelps l. Co, W. r |
|amison and Moir & Bros, at Oqua~ks, were
'roken into and robbed, Sunday night last, as
veil as number Of private houses. But what
'ooty the thieves secured We did not learn.
~ We saw number Of emigrants yester.
lay, with their cattle, horses, implements, &c.
ust crossing into our State.
The hard times, which have OF late prevailed,
