THRILLING REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENT
Mr.. j. T. Headly is publishing in New
York weekly religious paper, "The Diary of
a Chaplain in the Army of the Revolution" "
From it we extract the following:
At the battle of Bunker Hill, as the
British were advancing through Charlestown,
10 the attack, soldier entered house where
the husband lay sick His wife was young
and beautiful, and hearing the soldier in the
next room, went out to meet him. He i'm
mediately addressed insulting proposals to
her, Being angrily repulsed, he attempted
violence, when her screams aroused her sick
husband from his bed. Nerved with the
sudden excitement, he leaped up, and seeing
his wife struggling in the arms of British
soldier, ran him through the body. The
man fell back upon the floor, and as his eye
met that of his destroyer, he shrieked out
any brother p The recognition was mutual
and with the exclamation, ~ have murdered
my BROTHER" the over.excited invalid hus'
band fell dead on the corpse. These un'
happy brothers were ScOtchmen. One hac
emigrated to America several years before
the other had Joined the English army anC
after a long separation they thus met t.
perish together.

4 MAN SHoT BY His Doa-A man
named John Parker, of Lindsay, Canada,
received \ gun shot wound on Monday of
last week from singular accident. He was
out shooting, accompanied by his dog, and
was in the act of climbing fence, when the
animal, in following him, set oae Of his paws
on the hammer of the gum his weight
proved sufficient to raise it, and, when the
paw was withdrawn the hammer fell, aud of
course the gun went off. The charge, after
tearing away one side of the breast of Mr..
Parkers coat, inflicted severe but not very
dangerous wound on tho back part of the
head and neck

GAMBLING IN 0Hlo.-The Legislature
of Ohio has passed bill "for the prevention
of gambling" Its principal provision is as
follows:
"SEC. T. That it any person shall play at
any game whatsoever, for any SIm of money
or other property Ct any value, or shall make
any bet or wager for auy sum of money, or
other property Of value, every such person
shall, on conviction thereof. be fined in any
sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, or
be imprisoned in the county iaIl not less
than ten days, nor more than six months" J"
The enactment of such law, it seems to
us is an absurdity. The law eanno. be
generally enforced, and any law that Ope,
rates partially is unust.-N. 0. Drita.

The Drainage Commissioner informed US
that he had ordered the work TO be suspen-
ded on Ditch No. 3, Yhos. Davis COntrac-
tor: also on l4evee No. ,, and Ditch No. ! ,
John I. Baldwin, Contractor.
The payments upon the work appear to
have been made by the Commissioner and
Judge upon the certificate Of this Engineer
as to the amount of work done. We had
not time to examine and compare any Of
the vouchers in the hands OF the Commits
si0ncr.
We have examined the proceed nGs Of the
County Court under Judges Street, Larlmer,
James AID Nye, and present herewith Il de-
tailed statement If the expenditures under
each Judge, 70 thePresent tine us shown by
the BOOKS.
This statement may not, in all respect.
be strictly correct, but it is very nearly so.
We cannot here forbear to call the atten-
ton Of the Committee 10 the great increase
of county expenses for county officers and
deputies since the administration Of judge
Street.
This increase arises, we find, mainly from
the employment Of additional clerks and
deputies in the Office of County Judge, Re-
cor!er, Treasurer and District Clerk.
We have not found any matcrn! irregu.
larities in the proceedings of Judges Street
/ Hall, Larimer, James and Nye.
! We have not examined the Vouchers OF
which orders were issued by them, as VT
have not had time to do so.
/ At the request of the Committee we give
below statement showing some of the &C,
counts found by US on file in the County
Judges Office on which Judge Sherman i.
