An advertisement in the New York
Herald, the other day, give clue to one
class of frauds, and shows that knaves are
already at work preparing for them.i The
advertisement which was addressed to
brankrupts generally, sets forth as "for
sale very low for cash." Glands in all parts

An aggravated case of child-torture in
Beaver Dam, Wis, has attracted some at
tention during the past week AS the story
goes, a German family residing in the vi
cinity of the Lutheran Church have lit
tie boy whom they want to get rid of, and
dare not kill him outright; so they (his
father and step-mother) have beaten him,
and starved him, and put him out in the
cold, bare footed and nearly naked, until
he is almost dead from the brutal treat
ment and neighbors have interfered in
the case and brought it to the notice of the
city authorities. What will be done about
it is of course unknown yet

One of the brewers at Wabasha, Mimi,
poisoned his neighbours beer, last week, by
throwing phosphorus into the cooler. 1t
was. repeated some two or three times,
when the injured brewer, Mr.. Wealthy,
watched and caught the other, one Burk-
hart, in the act. Wealthy fired twice at
him with a shotgun loaded with buckshot,
and wounded him, it is said, severely.
Burkhart went to Justice of the Peace
to get warrant to have Wealthy taken up,
but found that Wealthy was ahead of him,
and was getting papers to secure him for
felony. This, it seems, startled the gentle
man some, and he vamosed.
The constables ferreted out and broke
up very ingeniously concealed gamblers
den at Boston, on Wednesday. The keeper
of the place was Nathaniel G. Goodwin,
who pretended to be an agent for the Day
ton copper company, and had an office on
fremont street, with all the paraphernalia
of ledgels and stock certificates, and the
name of his company upon the door. The
premises were searched, and closet found
with small pane of colored glass, and in
side of the closet was a man with tele-
graph machine Whenever a green one
entered to try his luck he was seated at the
table with his back to the closet door, so
the man in the closet could see what cards
he held, and by wires from the machine
running beneath the carpet inform the
" operator" at the table, thus insur1ng the
fleeing of every victim. $50

come to light at Blandville, Ballard county,

named Belcher, and on her asking him to
marry her, he told her that he had wife
and family. This enraged her, and with
the assistance of her sister and man
named McNabb she killed him by driving
the spindle of spinning wheel into his
ear The body was then hung up in the
cabin which Hudson had inhabited, and
when found it was supposed he had COM
