breach Of the peace. The prosecuting witness was

against him for selling impure milk in Cincinnati

an investigating Committee, who examined into the
matter, and made an unfavorable report In her
evidence, MIS-. Hopkins alleged that Van Lear made
such demonstrations as induced her to believe he
purposed to commit violence upon her person, and
she ran away from his presence. The Jury, after
hearing the testimony, retired to consult, which
consumed about two hours, when they returned with
averdict of guilty. The suit grew altogether out of
the report made in the Cincinnati milk case.

GRAND PROJECr-ITs FEAsIBILITy.-In the
absence of the requisite medium with which to SUD
ply the City OF Covington with good and wholesome
water new plan has been suggested by one of our
citizens, which IL not only plausible but practicable
lt IS to make contract with the City of Cincinnati

attentive superintendent of the establishments but
dropping in there Saturday last we found he had
returned looking as fair and as affable as ever In
