Clue

A Clue.
The police got clue to the robbers OF
the diamonds at the Southern Hotel
Thursday well known New Yorker and
expert thief was introduced to Dawley at
Columbus, Ky, by a matchmaker who
learned Dawleys business. The officer
followed the New Yorker here, where he
registered at the Southern as c, G.. Craw-
ford.
Soon after the robbery he attempted to
sell five diamond rings to a pawnbroker,
who. suspecting something wrong, CUES
toned him closely. Finding himself sus-
pected, and another man entering the shop
at that moment whom he evidently took
for a detective, he hastily left, leaving
ring behind, which was subsequently
identified by Dawley. He told the pawn
broker his name was Trowbridge.

FREEMAsoNs will be interested in learn
ing that the nobleman who has been for
twentv-six years at the head of their or
der in England is now on the point of re-
firing. The Earl of Zetland is extremely
popular among the English MasOns, and a
short time ago q magnificent testimonial
was got up for him, but when the fact
came to his knowledge he begged that the
money might be devoted to the charitable
Institutions of the brotherhood. The
Earl is now upward of seventy-fOUr years
old, and increasing infrmities have led
him to resign post of which he was al.
ways proud. We may add that he was
one of the most liberal of Peers in his
politics, and advocated the ballot and tri,
ennial instead of septennial Parliaments.
It is said that the new Grand Master will
most likely be Earl de Grey and Ripon, al
present Deputy Grand Master. r,a

IMPORTANT SUIT DECIDED.
Judge John C. Gaut Special Judg,

Judge John C. Gaut Special Judge.
twill be remembered that in the fall
of the year 1866, Samuel Hyman, a cloth
ing merchant of this city, failed in business,
and seeing no hope of paying of or meet
ing his liabilities to Eastern creditors, he,
on the Both of November, 1866, sold his
entire interest in large stock of goods,
situated in the storehouse on the corner
of Market street and the Public Square, to
his father-in-law, Jonas Isaacs, for the con-
sideration of $23, 900, he, Isaacs, deducting
from amount of this sum, So, 600 cash which
he had loaned his son-in-law in September,
1866, and $500, which he assumed to
pay and did pay to the Second National
Bank, and Capt G.. w. Hammer,
and executed his notes TO Hyman
on a credit of 6, 9, II and Is
months time for the remainder. These
Eastern creditors, George A. Davis & Co,
ct ais, filed their several attachment bills
TO set aside the sale, and attached the
goods to pay, as they alleged, Hyman's in
| debtedness of about $40, 600. They alleged
livestock Of goods were worth at least $4O,-
| 600 or $50, O00 and the sale fraudulent, and
made on purpose to hinder and delay credi-
tors. They also sought to set aside a
mortgage of $1,000 which Hyman made
to Isaacs in the spring of 1866, on house
and lot situated on South Summer street
of this city. This mortgage the creditors
| characterized as fraudulent, made to hinder
| and defraud creditors. The cause was ably
argued by Messrs. East and Demoss,
attorneys for the complainants, and by
Messrs. Neil S. Brown and NJ. NJ Brien,
Jr., for the defendants; and Judge Gaut,
after patiently investigating the cause, de-
creed there was no fraud in the sale of the
goods, nor in the mortgage. His written
opinion is a concise analysis of the law, and
applying it to the facts he rendered the
| opinion in favor of defendants, thus viLdi-
eating the honesty and integrity of the
defendants. Compliments bills were dis
missed.

For the Spectator.
MEssRs EDITORS Why have tLyceums been
so much neglected in the past two or three WI n
tiers +? Was there any in the county last year ex-
cept in Staunton? A few years ago numbers Of
men and boys met in the different school-houses
throughout the county, and discussed important
questions, weekly, which furnished instruction
and entertainments for themselves and the ladies
who were invited in occasionally, and improved
the mind by studying the different subjects under
discussion. In the different neighborhoods there
are intelligent young gentlemen enough to form
debating Societies or to assist in .'weighty"
questions a paper conducted by the Societies,
to which the ladies could contribute, and be read
when they are invited in. This would bring out
the literary talent OF the young, people. The
nights are growing long now, and much can be
studied Here in this vicinity, we have Green
Vile Christians Greek and Bethany school hou-
ses; at the second mentioned place, most inter
esting debates were carried on few years ago.
Is there not still intelligence enough left to Or
ganize and carry on one this winter?

ing home from the Fair, one of them-William
Todd, second son Of Capt James HI. Todd, near
Mt. Soon-met with an accident by which he
was killed almost instantly. From some I'M
known cause, his horse reared up, breaking the
girth of the saddle, when he fell backwards to
the ground and broke his neck. His body was
carried into the house of Mrs. r. Hamrick, on
the Mt Scion road, about FIVE miles from town,
and as soon as Dr. S. Homer Henkel could be
taken out, an examination made, and the
fact Just mentioned was ascertained He breath
ed few moments after being picked up, but be-
fore the party carrying him reached the house OF
Mrs Hamrick he was dead. No blame could be
attached to any one. The sad intelligence to the
family at home was stunning indeed-the father
being absent in Pendleton county.
