Charge Of ItgftaA;7 Mrs. Nyntkias, Of-the
First Ward, was up before Ali. Hamilton,
night before last, charged with the fdrtive en-
terprise of extracting two five dollar notes
from the chemizette pocket Of one Miss
Hunter. Miss Hunter was guest of the
Watkins, and shortly after missing her money
she saw Mrs. Watkins give her husband q five
dollar note. This note. was produced, but not.
withstandinS Miss Hunter knew it to be Of the
same denomination and upon the same branch
of the same bank to those she had lost, she
could not positively identify it. AS the Wat
kins' are people generally supposed to be
somewhat reduced, financially, twas suggested
to them that they might tell where they got
the note, and thus weaken, the charge. This
they refused to do, nevertheless, the evidence
was not sufficiently conclusive t6jdstify COM

the accused and the complainant, the case was
dismissed at the instance,Of the latter who paid

dispatch was received by the City Sergeant
yesterday, from gentleman of Columbus, o..
requesting the police of this city to be on. the
look out for, and arrest, if possible, gentleman
and lady who were expected to arrive here in
the evening, over the Central Ohio railroad
The dispatch was from the father of the lady,
who desired the Sergeant to arrest and take the
lady away from the gentleman, and keep her
away until he should arrive and reclaim her.
Itseems that they had left the paternal roof for
the purpose of getting married without the
knowledge or consent of the lady'sfather The
parties did not come over to the city and thus
escaped most disagreeabIc detention if not
separation. They doubtless continued on to-
wards Pittsburgh, and are ere this safely noosed
in the enjoyment of conjugal bliss. ~
A Frighta1 R1nGWdy.- Yesterday about
noon, two horses attached to y hay. wagon,
started from the drug store Of DR.. Logan, and
ran at fearful pace over the suspension bridge
across the Island and away out of sight. The
toll keeper at this end of the bridge tried to-
check the furious animals without success. tt
iswell known that the bridge is merely wide
enough to permit of the passage Of a single
wagon of ordinary size. When this fact is con-
sidered, the escape, without injury of those who
were on the bridge, is regarded as next to the
miraculous. When the foot passengers saw the
horses coming they climbed up and chung to the
side wires. One lady who hadstw children in
charge, placed the young oaes upon the wires
and huddled close to them in the most agonizing
suspense, until the danger was over. They bare
ly escaped being dragged beneath the wheels of
the wagon or the feet of the horses. The horses
were caught somewhere ongthe Island.
