PRoF. WIcKEs. An item appeared in
our issue of yesterday in relation to Prot.
Wickes, the substance of which was taken
from another paper and originally APP
peared in the Middlebury Register, as we
are informed, though we did not see that
paper last week. The Middlebury Regis
ter of this week, however, contains anoth-
er paragraph in relation to him, which, as
we gave the other item, it is proper we
should copy, as follows;
ave seem to have done Professor Wickes
injustice in representing that he failed to
fulfil his engagements here. He returned
for that purpose and gave good reason for
his absence. He denies the charges made
against him, and presents numerous testl-
monials which should prove him to be
man OF reliable character"
TnrEvINe. The Mlddlebury Register
saws that petty thieving is on the increase
in that vicinity as well as elsewhere In the
state. We hear of party, in Bridport,
one night last week, taking several har-
nesses, halters, etc, in different places.
Some active and efficient measures must
be taken to arrest these scoundrels,
for it will certainly grow worse till
there is.
