CHEs4ER.-A few days since your cor
respondent referred to the failure of
Ethan Hall of this place, and took occa-
sion TO relate little joke perpetrated
upon an officer of the law in connection
with the matter saying that 'Officer No.
|, who was sent to attach Halls cattle,
concluded to refresh himgelf With little
sleep, ii being late at night and the dis |
tanoe to drive the cattle considerable,
when officer No. 2 stole in upon the ami
mails and drove them Off We think Off
Ger No, out of pocket or words of
similar import. The facts as stated are
literally true, but further facts intimately |
connected with the transaction throws |
different lignt upon 1t, and totally excul-
pates the supposed delinquent officer from
recklessness or Indifference in the exeou-
tion of his duty. 1t seems that the cred
itors accompanied the officer, and before
the attachment was ready to be put on it
was after midnight. Hall then made GER
tain pledges that "his BROTHER man of
means-would be over early in the morn
ing aud settle the thing up" The cred
itors, after hearing this, directed the off,
Ger to let the matter rest until morning,
being worn with official duties the pre-
oeding day and night, the officer retired.
Soon after, the second officer was driving
off the cattle, but that nap produced
"dreams of bright visions" for before the
sun set again officer No. had secured
$1,000 or $4,000 faT the creditors whom
he was serving, which am assured would
have remained undiscovered had not the
little incident of Halls duplicity and the
consequent refreshing slumber inspired
more than customary official interest.
We congratulate the officer upon his sue
cess, aud the above detailed account of
the affair is given from sense of justice
to yigilant and long tried officer,
