ALLEGED LARCENY.--A young man, re-
specially connected, was before Alderman
Beitler This morning, upon the charge of the
larceny of diamond ring, valued at Sl75, the
property of Samuel Sneider, whose place OF busl-
ness is at No. 204 South Eleventh street. 1t ap-
pears that the defendant went to the store and
borrowed the ring, representing that he wished
to weax 1t at party, and promised to return
1t soon. The days flew by, but no ring came
back.
Mr.. Sneider asked him for it repeatedly, but
was informed that it had been lost, and he
would be paid for it in instalments, but they

ant is about seventeen years of age.

FALSE PRETENCEs William Fairchild
seventeen years OF age, who halls from Hart
lOrd, connecticut, was arrested yesterday by
sergeant Ctout and Hartford officer. he left
Hartford few days since and came here by
way OF New York. The officer was on his track,
and arrived IN this city shortly afterwards, and
lodged information at the Central station.
Fairchild was found in the billiard room of the
Continental, at which hotel he was stopping,
Were he had represented himself as a Sailing
Master in re Navy being in uniform at the
time. He had been tnsSomers Il Sons, and
Or 1ered a complete suit of naval uniform,
valueI at $50. He took the pantaoons WIN
him. TIE coat and vest were to be sent to the
hotel uext Gay. He offered a check in pay
ment, but it was refused. He told them his
father would be on the next day and settle the
bill. He then went to Leonard Benkerts shoe
establishment, in Chestnut street, above Seventh,
and ordered a palr of boots. He took with him
a pair OF CATERS, telling the gentleman to send
In1e Ine boots to the hotel, and he would seItle;
The amount of the bill was S27. The Hartford
officer recognized Fairchid as the man who
had been obtaining goods in that city under
false pretenses. He was remanded to the GUS
tody OF the officer and last evening was taken
back to Hartford. 1t has been ascertalned since
that he had ordered goods of several other
parties, but neglected to pay for them.
A WIFE SERVES HER HUSBAND IN A
AUBABLE MANNER.-There lives at present on
Seventh street, near Shippen, couple who at
one time required nought to make their happl-
ness complete. The wife was, and Is, IN all
respects, a perfect lady, and by her individual
hard work laid by little by little until she accu-
mulated large sum. She invested this IN buying
number of horses and carts, with which her
husband was enabled to engage in a profitable
and steady business. But the husband, after
entering on prosperous career, commenced to
spend his evenings from home with regularity
which at once excited the suspicious OF the good
wife, until this absence became so aggravatlng
that she determined to learn the cause. Last
night he was traced to the apartments OF
fral "crtter" This was too much for the trdst-
ing wife. She rushed iu, and in twlnklmg
her husband and thelrai woman were hoT5 de
combat For this her husband had her arrested,
and she was held by Alderman Tlttermary for a
further hearing.

Averaging Perjury.

We lay before our readers the re-
port Of the State Board of Equalza-
ton on the appraised and equalized
values of farming lands in the various
counties of Wisconsin, 1t will be
seen that the board has found it nee
essary to raise the appraisal of some
county boards to nearly double the
amount reported by them. The fact
that the state board also found it nee
eSsary TO reduce the appraisal Of some
county boards by nearly equal amount
TO obtain an average, shows that the
discrepancy amounts to nearly a quad
ripple ratio between the highest and
lowest valuations. That Is to say.
some counties appraised their lands
four times as high (proportionally-
aside from absolute local differences
in value. a others. Now it is obvious
that no county would report its lands
for taxation at more than their real
value; hence it follows that the as.
/ SCISSORS of some counties have returned
their lands at ooe-foaath Hcir real raips.
aud this when the laws of the State
require each assessor TO slrcar that he
has assessed lands at their actual lu2,te
for one-third cash and the balance
credit at legal rates.
Some curious facts. if facts they
may be called. are developed hv the
report. Th::s. the county of Fond
