Though no names are used in connec
ton With the above allegation, evidently
those Of tbs subscribers are implied, for il
"1hc Register" Of the 2Gth ult., W finc
that Brookins actually accompanied II,
Sheriff to the residence o. NJ. Martin

The above is incorrect, iaasmuch as
Brookins was not caught Is alleged
but BY our advice gave himself up-bu,
conditioned with The Sheriff 10 be his own
keeper, till the justice-then absent
should return. '.. aE"
Nor vas he placed in our charge OF
in the charge Of any person, but agreed
with the Sheri8-to remain at Martins
and abide q legal examination, provided
his weapons we're not taken from him y
and we, BY request Of the Sheriff, permit.
ted him SO to remain.
In "The Register" Of December 3rd,
uuisr the head Of correction, we find the
following language:
BY using persuasive means h.--the
Sheriff -succeeded in inducing Brookins
to put up his weapons aud accom- pany
him into helhouse Of Mr.. Martin. where
the Sheriff demand-d the assistance Of
TWO persons present, to arrest Brookins,
who refused their assistance"
In what particular sense the term "per-
suasive" is here used, We will not u.,der-
take to say. If in the sense of argument
it was such an argument as Bro,kius'
power Of locomotion'" enabled him
scarcely to over.aae
That the assistance OF any person was
demanded to arrest Brookins ut the time
above alluded, is false
As the names Of The 1.-TWO person.
were omitted, we might have believed he
alluded TO others then present, had he
the Sheriff-no; stated positively to one or
more persons, that we were the identical
persons, who so refused.
In making the above correction, il Is no
part OF our object to pass judgment on the
official acts of our Sheriff, neither are W.
wiling to be hold responsible in the pub
Zig mind for any dereliction of duty:op his

Hsary RaiHs.-Our city was visited last
Tuesday night by the heaviest fall OF rain that
we remember ever TO have seen. During the
day the clouds were lowering and discharged
occasional showers. At dark the weather be-
came quite sultry, and angry clouds continued
to thicken and gather until near O'Clock, at
which time the rain began 10 descend, and Tor
forty minutes poured in torrents, deluging the
streets i'll an angry flood. The storm was ac-
companied by vivid lightning and peals of
thunder, such as is rarely heard at this season
of the year. AT quarter to 8 O'Clock not
only the carriage way, but the sidewalks were
submerged, and in the lower part of the city
the streets resembled mountain currents after
a rain storm. Not only were many of the
cellars near the First Market filled with wa
ter, but in several of the stores the flood made
it's appearance and would have DESTROYED a
large amount of goods but for its timely dis
coyery.
In various sections of the city new improve
ments were damaged to some extent At the
corner of Main and sth, the walkway caved
in. On 4th street. iamp-post was washed
into the ravine, and much of the dirt lately
put there TO extend the street. was washed
away On 9th street, at the Second Market
the public cnlvert caved in, or sunk, rendering
the thoroughfare almost impassable. And on
Marshall street, ON the site of the old Athe-
neum, the areas to the new houses just erect
ed were settled by the storm.
