SUSPICIOUS AND MYSTERIOUS ArFAIR.--A
man named Christian Goodman, and his wife
Jane, were before Judge Lowe yesterday
morning, having been arrested the night
before by Officers Hackerman and Fix, upon a
charge Of assault and battery. The circum
stances as developed in the examination are
as follows:
The prosecuting witness, Joseph Chase, said
that in tho afternoon of Thursday the accused
parties visited the house Of their daughter
who resides with him on Court-street, between
Walnut and Vine, and is about to become a
mother, and gave her some medicine which
made her very sick, struck her several blows
in the abdomen, knocked her down and
abused her to such an extent that her life and
that Of her unborn child arc both endangered.
At this stage Of the proceedings Judge Lowe
concluded to continue the case until Monday,
thinking that the daughter of the defendants
might then be brought into Court and testify
in regard to the matter. It is said that she
resides with this man Chase, not as his wife,
but as his mistress, and that the parents beat
their daughter, being justly incensed at her
conduct. Whether this was the cause, or
whether they really desired to destroy the of
spring Of their daughters shame, remains to
be seen.

POLICE COURT.-The business of the Police
Court yesterday morning was by far the least
interesting that has been done during the week.
The amount was not large, twenty-three cases
only having been examined; but several charges
were disposed Of which have already been men
toned in our columns, and the result of these
We give below.
On Tuesday evening last fellow named
Christian F. Houcke went on board the steam
boat Defender and asked the watchman, John
Hays, to allow him to remain there during the
night. Hays refused and assaulted his visitor,
drovess him from the boat, and just as he reached
the wharf stabbed him in the left side, leaving
painful though not dangerous wound. Hays
Station-house, and yesterday morning had a
preliminary examination before Judge )BoEe,
who held him to bail in the sum Of $3.50 to
answer the charge of stabbing with intent to
kill, before the next term Of the Court of Com
mon Pleas.
John r. Norman, one of those excellent
memb bers of society who habitually abuse their
families, raised row day befores yesterday
with his wife, at the place they call homo, on
the corner of Twelfth street and Western row.
Officer Hover being attracted to the spot by
the confusion, arrested Norman and c0ufned
him in the Ninth-street Station-house. Yes
terday Judge Lowe, after listening to q rela-
tion Of the manner in which the peace Of the
neighborhood had been disturbed, sentenced
him to an imprisonment of three days in that
most vilianous place, tho City Prison, and to
pay fine of s. and costs. -, ,.-.t

A STRANGER ROBBED AT A BAGNro.---A man
named Andrew Thompson, q resident Of
Indianapolis, visited bagnio, on Race street,
night before last, and while ther, drank a
large quantity of liquor and fell asleep. How
long he remained so he can not toll; bat VIII en-
he awoke it was quite late, and he found that
he had been removed to another room and was
lying upon the floor. Upon complete resto-
ration to consciousness he found that he had
been robbed Of watch worth about sixty
dollars and nearly seventy dollars in gold,
which he had upon his person at the time he
entered the house. The cerberus of the estab-
lisbment Indignantly denied knowing anything
at all Of the affair, and, saying she cid not
believe he had either money or watch " hen he
entered, turned him into the street. Thompson
asserts he had the money, but thinking his
experience, although somewhat dearly bought,
quite valuable, says he despairs of ever recov-
ering the stolen property, and will return home
a wiser man.

A MAN WITH A GUTTA PERCHA CONSCIENCE
CAUGHT SwINDLISG PERSONS WITH GUrTA
PERcHA PENs--Day before yesterday, Officer
Reaney arrested man named Lewis Schles-
singer, on a charge of obtaining money by
false pretenses from Marion Wilkinson, Of
Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio. Immedi-
ately after the arrest, writ of habeas corpus
was issued from the Probate Court and sub
sequently heard before Judge Hilton, who
remanded b i'm into the custody of the city.
Yesterday morning Schlessingor was before
Judge Lowe, but the Court having no juris-
diction over the case, he was discharged. His
liberty, howe yer, was not of long duration, for
before ho rea.,hed the door of the Court. room i,
he was rear rested by the Sheriff Of Clinton
County, and returned to Wilmington to answer
the charge pending against him. For the
benefit Of the public, we give herewith brief
account of the manner in which Mr.. S. is said
to operate, which is as follows:
He represents himself as member Of firm
in New York which manufactures gutta percha
coated steel pens, q sample of which he dis
plays. He then, by promising to make bis
customer an agent, sells lot Of the pens, for
which he receives payment, and gives one
gross, with receipt for the balance of the
money, and an order up,sn the firm in New
York for the remaining pans. The customer
does not have long to wait to fiud ont that he
has been cheated, and thatthe firm with whom
he has been trsnsacting bu,iness, through an
agent, is a myth.
Schlessinger has been several times before
different Courts in this State, but as yet has
not been convicted. He tloes his business
quito shrewdly, says bis eyeI are his market,
and thinks every person should quietly submit
to the terms of any bargain he has made. He
certainly will not always thur escape the pun
ishment his transactions deserve.

down and robbed him of $50 in money, and
then left him bruised and bleeding on the side.
walk. He was taken to the Station-heuse,, and
yesterday morning was before Judge Lowe,
to whom he told his story. His face was badly
bruised, and he looked very much as if he had
been roughly handled; but there was some
thing in his air which was not altogether the
semblance of truth, and the Court was some
what tempted to doubt his honesty. He was
discharged, however, on promising to leave the
oity.
