ESeA LANE OF INSocENcE.-Yesterday
Catherine Barrett who was arrested at the
beginning of the week for appropriating
various things that happened to be lying
round loose in the house of Mr. John Ham
ilton, on Fourth ST., was brought out of
ialT and taken before Aid. Duty for a
hearing. Many of the stolen articles were
produced and identified by members of the
family. After the evidencehad beer taken
and a conclusion OF . dead wood had pos
scssed the minds of all present. Catherine
was asked if she had any questions to ask
the witnesses. With an appearance of in
jured innocence that might have melt
ed heart of stone, Miss Barret proceeded
to remark that all she had to say was that
she frequently had the cramp collie, US all
the witnesses knew, and might have taken
some of the articles while writing under
the pains caused by that affection, but as
to taking anything in roguery, she scorned
the insinuation. Considering that she is
supposed to have been stealing continually
and unremitingly for about eight years
and that thc::evidence was so pointed as to
close up the smallest loop-hole of doubt,
this assertion was regarded as slightly frig-
id. Catherine thinks it was scurvy trick
in officer Haulcy to scatter counterfeit
money about Mr.. Hamilton's house with d
view of makinga syringe for her. "she
wouldn't have saryed a niger So" She
was sent on to the county court for exami-
nation

THE closing years of life are often rem
dcrcd wretched by ailments which are
trifiing in themselves and are easily cured
if taken in TING. Affection of the liver,
STOMACH, and other organs concerned in
digestion, arc the most frequent. They
naturally make the sufferer nervous, ira
table and complaining, and relative and
friends are forced to bear the brunt Of
their iEI-humor. The use of Hostettcr's
Celebrated Stomach Bitters will prove an
efficient remedy FIR this evil, it will not
only strengthen the whole physical organ
ization, but entirely cure the mos: obsti-
nate case of indigestion, Diarrho.a, Dys-
EMERY. aud Liver Complaint. The first
physicians in the country arc loud in
their praise of this preparation. Another
recommendation of the Bitters is that it
is so palatable to the taste that it may he
used as Il beverage. Sold by all druggists.
