modified her original intention of paying

perbaps far out Of keeping with our
present position on this point.
'PEEprNa ToM.'-This fellow contin-
ues his midnight raids on bedchamber
windows. His last exploit was to peer
into a room where an elderly lady, after
dishabilment. had approached the
window, and as the night was sultry, sat
down to enjoy the refreshing zephyrs
that famed the curtains. The wretch,
with insane temerity, suddenly reached
his hand through the opening, and
attempted to seize the poor woman by
the nape of the neck. When she felt
the touch Of the intruding hand, she
incontinently jumped several feet in the
air, and screamed Justify for help, where
upon the miscreant fed, and made good
his escape. At another house, a few
nights since, a little girl and her mother
were preparing for bed. The child got
in first, and as she looked towards the
window, she cried, Mamma, there S q
mans face looking in!' With great
GOODNESS, the lady, without looking to-
wards the window, said to the child.
loud enough to be heard outside, IN
Just give him a dose of buckshot. and
made a movement as IL to get a weapon,
although none was in the room. The
villain was equal to the occasion, and
making a sardonic face on one of the
panes of glass, he said: Shoot, shoot
Why don't you shoot? / dare you to-
He enjoyed this style of intimidation
for q while, and retreated at his leisure.
GRAPE VINE, AGArS.-The grapevine
telegraph was again in active operation
Yesterday, and Prussian stock rose above
par for a while. II seems, according to
this very reliable intelligence, that a
great pitched battle had taken place-on
the Rhine. Three hundred thousand
Prussians had massed in the rear of the
French army, and had forced Napoleon
TO reverse his position, and fight for a
home opening-across the Rhine. Both
armies evinced conspicuous and de-
termined valor, and fought a whole hour
by Shrewsbury clock, on the Rhine.
At length the Prussians made n sudden
and overwhelming combination against
the French center, and Mt a given signal,
under cover Of a terrible fire of artillery,
they charged the enemy, who fled in con-
fusion-from the Rhine. The French
center being broken. the two wings,
crazy with excitement etourdie,' says
the grape vine,) fought each other,
thinking themselves Prussians, whilst
the latter looked on with nnspeakable
satisfaction. II is needless to say that
nothing is left Of the French army, and
that another victory like that will insure
defeat-on the Rhine.
IMPORTANT SOURCE OF REyEsUE.-The
city fathers, in prospecting around for
sources of revenue to help u fearfully
involved municipality in its financial
struggle, struck a good thing when they
revived the office Of City Recorder. The
receipts of this local tribunal yesterday
were 500 round and welcome sum to
n gaping treasury. At this rate of in
come, Hamilton would soon be On the
high road to financial health; but ii
would be hardly fair TO look for such a
windfall every day. Fighting o o leaves
n market where it rates as a high-priced
luxury. However, we may look for n
or two first-class Police Court days a
week, and the revenue derived from this
source will tend to compose the nerves
of some OF our badly scared municipal
pops
THE ToLEs CAsE.-There were IL
jurors passed in the Toles murder Ease
yesterday morning, when the Court met
tho State having exhausted its chal-
lenges, and the defense having six left.
Up TO the recess at noon, jurors were
examined, but Notwithstanding several
changes had been made, and more chal-
lenges had been exhausted, only the old
number Of IL had been accepted. In the
afternoon other changes were made, and
when the names in both yenires had
been entirely called, but 10 jurors were
in the box. A rev special yenire was
issued, returnable to-day, when, posi-
bly,, a full panel will be procured.
The FIRST GuN.-The committees APP
pointed by the two local ward clubs will
meet to-day, and perfect arrangements
to open the coming political campaign by
the holding Of n mass meeting in a few
days, which will be addressed by Hon.
Tom Fitch and others. This will be the
first gun of the Fall fight, and ought to
bring out an enthusiastic rally. We sug-
gest that Sherman and Treasure ought to
be cordially united in the demonstration.
