BEFORE JUSTICE EMERY. Lucy
Bholen, an Ethiopian female, was
accused, on oath, by Lewis Bradson,
of having stolen a pistol from said
Lewis. She was brought into court,
and put in a plea that Lewis had
lodged in her house one night and
had neglected to pay his bill, and
that she had levied on the pistol to
liquidate the debt Not being able to
show official authority for making the
levy she was held in the sum of $50
to answer the charge of larceny.
Jim Sherwood, on oath, accused
Philip Hamburger, chief of the Freed
mems Bureau, corner of Fourth and
Locust Streets. of gambling, by play
ing cards with three certain negroes,
to the afiant unknown. Philip was
brought into court, and James sig
nally failed to make the charge good,
and Hamburger was allowed to go
hence without day." Philip at once
filed an affidavit charging that
cavalier James, whose surname is
SheIwo ID, had made murderous as
sault on him, the aforesaid Philip,
son of Hamburger, with a large knife
held in the hands of the aforesaid
Sherwood-with intent, the said Ham
burger then and there to cut, carve,
kill and STAY, against the peace and
dignity of the State of Indiana and
the statutes in such cases made and
provided. After a careful investiga-
ton, assisted by eminent counsel,
Judge Emery decided that James
was guilty of simple assault, for
which he fined him So, with So 80
costs. Sherwood's bank account be-
ing exhausted, and having no gener-
Gus friend at hand to stand sponsor
for him, he was lodged with Sheriff
Miller, where he remaineth in durance
vile unto this day.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-On Sunday
evening a son of policeman McGurk,
aged about twelve years, fell from a
persimmOn tree, on the grounds ofthe
Crescent City Springs, breaking his
left fore arm just above the wrist, and
inficting a serious cut on his head.
The frequent occurrence of such ac-
ciden's should deter boys from climb
ing into trees. This is the third &C
cident of the kind that has occurred
within the last few weeks.

WINTER NEAR.-We learn that
nearly two inches of snow fell at
Terre Haute yesterday morning, and
that there was light snow at Vim
cennes. The weather here grew rap
idly cold yesterday, and towards mid
night last the mercury had dropped
to the vicinity of the freezing point.
Winter is rapidly approaching, and
prudent housekeepers will prepare
for it, and a benevolent Christian
people will see to it that none want or
suffer in this land of plenty.

AN INDIGNANT HUsBAND.-Yes ester
day afternoon, a man in a high state
of excitement, rushed into the Office
of Justice Walker, and asked for a
redress of grievances. He stated that
another man was about to run off with
his wife, and was already on the wharf
boat awaiting the arrival of steamer
to bear himself and the truant wife
far away. Justice Walker being con-
fined to his bed at home, and serious
ly sick, we are panied to learn, the
excited husband was directed to the
Office of My Lord Chief Justice Stin-
son, who, being too busily engaged
just then, to give the matter attention,
kindly attempted to allay his grief by
saying that there were scores of hus-
bands in the city who would be glad
to have somebody steal their wives
away The excited husband, how
ever, was 10th TO give the former part
ner of his joys and sorrows up, aud
rushed forth to seek relief from an
other source. vOwing that if the man
stole his wife away it would get up a
GOODNESS between them. The result
is yet to be ascertained.

A MUss IN INDEPENDENCE.-A a
late hour on Sunday night two men
from Independence aroused the Sheriff
of the county, and requested his pro-
lection against men who were threat
ening their peace and safety in indie
pendence. The sheriff sent them to
the police and the police took them
to the Recorder The Recorder, not
having jurisdiction outside the city
limits, was necessarily compelled to
decline to act in the premises. 1t
was State case and should have gone
before a Justice OF the Peace.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. = Gen.
John [. Nicely, one of the oldest citi-
zens Of Gibson County and of South
ern Indiana, died last Friday night,
the 9Th instant, at Duquoin, Illinois,
where he was on a visit with his chill
dren.
General Nicely was one of the few
remaining pioneers of Indiana, who
in early days laid the foundation of
our present prosperity and greatness.
During the Indian wars he was an
aid to General w. Ell. Harrison, and
was afterwards commissioned Major
in the regular army, and for some
time was stationed at Cleveland, Ohio,
then frontier outpost. He was for
eighteen years the County Clerk and
Recorder of Gibson County. and
twenty-one years Postmaster of
Princeton. For fifty-six years he was
a member of the Masonic fraternity,
and was said to have been the dest
Post Master west of the Allegheny
Mountains. He was in his seventy
eighth year. His remains reached
Princeton yesterday, and his funeral
will take place at Oakland, in Gibson
County.

er had a good run of business yester-
day, including several warrants issued
and not yet served. A well known
and highly respectable gentleman for
got the city ordinance against hitch
ing horses to shade trees, and used e
tree as hitching post. For this he
was gobbled and required to pay a
fine of 81, with So 35 costs. When a
man goes to the expense and trouble
of planting and rearing a nice shade
tree, it should be protected against
destruction or injury
Daniel McHollins, who hailed from
the rural districts, and who had
never learned that a man was limited
to a certain quantity Of " boone
nickle" when he come to the city,
INDUCED so freely in roasting-ear
juice, yesterday, that the " perlees
thought it were best to take him in.
The Recorder, after examining the
case, concluded that it would take
one dollar to heal the lacerated ordi-
nance against inOrdinate juggling, and
that the attentions shown the stran-
ger by himself and satellites were
worth SIS 90 more. It was an ex-
pensive, but, we trust, wholesome
lesson.
Oran III. Stinson, a name not IN
known to fame, was called upon to
answer a charge of having been drunk
on Sunday. A fine of 50, with 81 IS
as costs, made the. matter all right, to
which His Honor added a moral lee
ture that would prove useful if it
were needed, but we fear that it will
not be. He secured the little amount.
A young man named William Ed
wards was arraigned on charge of
vagrancy-or, in other words, that of
being a man in good physical condi-
ton and having no visible means of
support He did not betake himself
to labor, or to any honorable calling,
to earn living. He pleaded not
guilty and declared his ability to find
seventy-fve or one hundred witnesses
to prove that he made his living hon
estly, but when the Recorder offered
to continue the case till he could
hunt up the witnesses, or few of
them, he told him to proceed with
the trial. The result was that the
case was made out, and the young
man was fined $40 with 81 Is costs,
His Honor suggesting that if he had
so many valuable witnesses lying
back, some of them would be likely
to go his security, and promising at
the same time that if he found out
that he was Industrious, sober and
honest, that he would reconsider his
decision.
George Wilson was charged with
having been drunk on Sunday even
ing. He, too, had lots of witnesses
to prove his innocence. if he only
knew who they were. As the evi.
dence was pretty positive on the
other side, and his witnesses not
comatable, he was fined S., with
81 05 costs.
Nearly half dozen other warrants
are in the hands Of the Marshal, a nd
will afford work for to day.

CHICAGO, May 3.-The fire in the
Merchants hotel to-day originated in
the laundry, and within 30 minutes from
the time OF the first alarm nearly the
whole building was in flames. The
guests numbered $50, several Ot whom
had very narrow escapes. Five or six
were let down by ropes from the upper
floor, and tive gentlemen were nearly
sufiocated before being rescued. The
loss on the building and contents will
probably not exceed 100000 over the
insurance. Crosby's opera house was
for time considered in danger. Some
of the art rooms are much damaged by
water. Not able, IS yet, to give the
names ofinsurance companies who suf-
