DR.. Ingleman.

this individual, who last year hung about
our village for some weeks, exciting the
sympathies Of all he came in contact
with by pitiful story. told with many
tears, of being cheated out Of all he was
worth by couple Of well-known dealers
in real estate. A few days since he was
arrested in Dubuque, where he has been
residing for year or two, on the charge
of stealing. The Times says that he
was arrested for flourishing pistol toe
freely, at house Of unenviable notoriety,
and as the officer had suspicioned him
of stealing for some time. he concluded
to search the premises the DR.. had occu.
pied. He found several revolvers and a
large amount of clothing. silk dresses,
boo,s and shoes, hosiery, jewelry, DC
Quite number Of the articles have been
identified. The Herald says he has been
guilty Of quite a number ofrobberies be
sides those now charged against him.
The Dr.. undoubtedly piled his trade, il
he is professional, in this vicinity al
so. At one time he stopped at the Re-
we're House, then kept by Mr.. SHEER
WOOD. whose wife had one or two hand
some shawls taken from her bureau, and
undoubtedly by the Dr.. No suspicion,
however, had ever attached to him,
as he pretended to be very pious, pray
ing regularly and SO as to be heard over
nearly the whole house. Last fall he
stopped at the Montour House, and while
there considerable sum of money was
stolen from one of the lady boarders
We believe other things were missed
while he resided here and he undoubt-
eddy was the thief. He ct one time was
worth considerable property, and is said
to be respectfully connected in Philadel-
phia A Galena paper accuses him OF
stealing several hundred dollars from a
Mrs. JOHNSON, whose husband he attend
ed in Dubuque, as physici n. We have
always inclined to the belief that he was
somewhat insane, and think possibly his
operations may be the result of a mono
mania, although his proved connection
with prostitutes and thieves in Dubuque
would seem to indicate otherwise. At
any rate, his arrest has taken our own
people as well as those of Dubuque. by
surprise. The DR.. was bound over in
the sum Of $500, in default of which lie
was sent TO Jail.

Courteous.

Courteous.
Our neighbor of the Civilian. who
boasts much Of his courtesy, his fairness,
his liberalty, his christianity, his detes-
tation of personalities, and his regard for
argument, speaking of the Reform Con-
vention recently held in this place, very
genAemanly intimated that it was a
question Of doubt whether there was
much difference between Mrs. BRowN,
one Of the lecturers, and an orang ou-
tang. In the same gentemanly spirit he
termed the lecturers, as body. set OF
crazy yagabonds.' Considering that
Mrs. Brown was delicately formed la
dy, with regular features and pleasing
expression, and was dressed in good
taste and that Mr.. CHASE has been a
member of two constitutional conven-
tons in Wisconsin,, has served one, if not
two terms, in her Senate, was once Free
Soil candidate for governor, and received
other marks of confidence from the peo-
pie of that State-considering these
things, and the fact that no charge is
made against the moral character of any
of these people, we certainly think the
application to them of such terms un-
warranted, and, to say the least, ungen-
temanly. We have no wish to defend
their doctrines, because we have no sym
pathy with them, but we certainly did
hope that there was liberality enough in
our community to save strangers from
such gross aspersions.

POLICE CoURT.--Judge Lowe examined forty
cases yesterday morning at the Police Court,
but they were not generally interesting. The
following were the most important:
Thomas Reed, who, it will be remembered,
stabbed John McCsrty, on Friday night
last, at the corner of Carr-street and the
Whitewater Canal, was examined and com.
mitted to the County Jail TO await trial, at
the next term of the Court of Common Pleas,
for murder in the Arst degree.
Five men, whose names would not enhance
the interest of this paragraph, were fined $40
and costs, each, for selling liquor on Sunday.
Such penalties, If The parties do large busi-
moss, might be paid, and yet tho evil remain
unremedied. .
Christopher Sohlechter, whom we mentioned
yesterday a. having been, while inebriated, al
most the cause Of his wife's death, was fined
So and costs, Ast
A girl named Mary Miller was charged with
stealing dress belonging to woman who
boarded In the house in which she occupied
tho position Of servant. She is but sixteen
years Of ago, and her wages so small that she
was unable to olothe herselfrespectabIy, The
temptation was great, but the discovery Of the
crime almost broke her heart, and, repentant
and weeping, she silently pleaded her own
cause. Judge Lowe thinks abe may be re-
claimed, and we are glad he did not sentence
her to the City Prison, for after that to reclaim
her would be almost impossible.
