BLOOMINGTON.
BOUND OVERS II. Lathe of Charles
ton was tried at Bloomington, on Monday
of last week, on the charge of stealing a
COW Of one Moore. Lathe claimed that the
COW had been turned out to him by the
prosecutor and that he had right to take
her at any time He took and drove her
away in the night The state showed that
Lathe had no claim whatever to the COW
but after he took her made pretence of
claim. 1t fell out in proof that the owner
ofthe COW owed Lathe a small sum and the
better view seemed to be that he took this
course to get his pay. His counsel claimed
that though this was so, the taking would
not constitute larceny. But the court held
that if one took and drove away another
mans property without color Of right it
was larceny. His bail was fixed at 5000.
A TExAN.-Tolman Tracy has horned
frog sent him by brother in Texas. 1t is

tin box done up in wrapping paper and
sealed. 1t had nothing to eat Of course and
is not known to have eaten anything since
its arrival, some five or six weeks. Mr..
Tracy says he has known instances of their
being kept in a trunk eighteen months
without food.
