e9-A WIFE WHtPPER DODass rHE Po-
LlcE.-some days ago one Edward Gilbert
who lives on the Island, took Occasioa to
whip his wife, thing he is said to be in
the habit of doing. Knowing that he would
probably be punished for the brutal act he
kept himself pretty we'll concealed from the
police, but yesterday, thinking the thing
had blown over be venture3 to come over
to town. He was espied and arrested by
an officer. EbbeIt said ne had no money
with him to pay his Inc aud he would be
obliged if the officer would go over to his
home with him uet;l he could supply him
self with the necessary lucre. The officer
kindly consented and they went to Ebberts
house. Ebbest asked the officer to take a
seat, and as he did so Ebbert stepped into
a back room, closed the door after him
aud to the best of our knowledge he Ia.
not returned up to this period.

pSGooD FOR BRookR.-The Well sburg
Herald, of yesterday, says that during the
week recruiting has been quite brisk and
no apprehensions need be felt concerning
the volunteer quota from Brooke county
Enough men have already enrolled them
to put the point beyond a doubt, aud we
are much mistaken in the indications, If
enough are not raised by Saturday week to
fill up the quota for the second requisition
of militia. J. R. Brenuemau, who is push
ing business with great energy, has some
twenty Eve men enrolled, and Thomas
White has some eighteen, some of whom,
however. are as yet only conditioually Gu
gagged In addition to these, there are
three recruits for the LIST Virginia Regi-
ment now enrolled. Additions are made
every day, aud as the period approaches
termination during which the offer of boun-
ty holds good, they become more frequent,
and the excitement approaches what it was
ayear ago.
