B@- On the 4th inst, the Marshal of
Whitestone, i. l., on complaint of a
number of the citizens of the place, ar
rested seventeen of the boys of the vii
lage. The complaints were for various
offences 1t seems that on Friday wine
peddler who was showing some samples
in a store, had his wagon robbed of about
a dozen bottles. These the boys took to
a neighboring grove and had debauch.
Not being satisfied with the wine, and
getting reckless, they started for the ba-
ker, and while some boys engaged his at
tention, the others made off with cakes,
pies, etc.
Cigars were obtained in a similar man
ner, and boards to sit upon. While under
the effects of the repast they commenced
to turn the village inside out. The boys,
ranging in age from 10 to l6, were then
brought before Justice Provost, and
most exciting scene was the consequence.
Fathers, mothers, and sisters pleaded for
them, and most of the youngsters them.
selves were in tears. The Judge finally
took bonds in 500 from the parents Of
each of the culprits, and suspended the
sentence.

A Horse Trade.

a Conn. paper gives the following ac-
count of trade which took place in that
vicinity:
Milo Waterman has endured the thral-
dom of a married life for some years but
lately the fetters have become calling,
and consequently very unpleasant, and
he resolved to throw off the yoke and pro-
claim himself Free But it is not an easy
matter to shake off such responsibility
as wife, and our friend Waterman was
in a quandary. He didn't know exactly
what to do, and the more he pondered,
the mere difficult seemed to be his stu
alton. Finally, one day last week, Milo
ran across neighbor named John Null
ford, who is ever ripe for bargain, and
after some conversation, in which they
descanted on the respective merits of wife
and horse, bargain was struck up"
Mulford was to take Waterman's wife
and Waterman Mulford's horse.
Waterman took his horse home, put
him in the stable, and retired But he
could not sleep. He tossed nervously
upon his pillow, and began to think of his
wife. True they had their ups and
downs" but, after all, hadn't she some
times been good to him? then he thought
of the many happy moments they had
spent together, of their love and court
ship, Of their marriage, and their honey
moon, and Milo began to regret the trade.
At last he could endure it no longer. He
got up, stole out to the barn in the dead
Of the night, took out the old horse and
proceeding to Mulford's woke him up,
and wanted to trade back. But Mulford
couldn't see it. Waterman begged, but
Milford was inexorable. After consider
able pickering, however, the latter agreed
to let Waterman have back his spouse, in
consideration of a forfeit of too birch
logs.

A Terrific Hurricane.

Dispatches from St. Louis, of the Sth
inst say:
A terrific hurricane passed over a
portion of East st. Louis between 2 and
3 o'clock this afternoon. The wind first
struck the elevator on the bank of the
river and took part of its roof off, and
passing in a due northeast direction it
totally demolished the freight depot of
the St. Louis and Vandalia railroad, 800
feet long by 100 feet high, the freight
and passenger dcpots of the North East
ern Railroad, two freight and passenger
depot and ticket office, and the large
round house of the Chicago and Alton
Railroad, the carhouse scale office, freight
office, and part of one of the freight de-
pots Of the Ohio and Mississippi road,
the freight and passenger depots Of the
Toledo and Wabash road and number of
dwelling houses in the vicinity. A por-
ton Of the roof of the Terre Haute
indianapolis depot was blown off, and
nearly all the derricks and other applian-
ces used in the construction of the bridge
were torn from their places and blown
into the river. Everything in fact with
in a space Of from 200 to 800 yards wide
was actually torn to pieces.
A train of cars, including thirty-ton
locomotive, was blown off the track,
and hurled about forty feet into ditch.
Another train Of fourteen cars, laden
with grain, was overturned and smashed,
and one car was blown into the river.
A train coming in on the Terre Haute
road, when at Brooklyn three miles north
of East st. Louis, we're blown from the
track, and about forty cars standing on a
side track on the Toledo and Wabash
and Chicago and Alton road, about nine
miles out, were overthrown.
The round house of the Chicago and
Alton road, after being blown down,
caught fire from an engine inside and was
burned. The engineer of the locomo-
tive was burned to death.
The number of killed and wounded
cannot be stated tonight, but seven are
known to be killed, and between thirty
and forty severely wounded, some danger
ously, and good many more slightly in
jured. 1t is believed number Of per-
sons are buried beneath the ruins
The scene is frightful. Houses are
torn to fragments, others are unroofed,
and still others are carried bodily from
their foundations. Scarcely building
or tree or anything else within the track
of the storm is standing. The wreck
and ruin is complete

gS3~ Liquor dealers in Ohio complain
that under the new law women who have
shiftless husbands are suing them for sup
port on the ground that the men are pre-
vented from providing for their families
in consequence Of their indulgence in Ii
quor and the women get verdicts in
their favor, sometimes even when it is
proved that the improvident husbands
will not work when they are perfectly So
ber. The consequence is that in some
parts of the State a married man cannot
get drink of liquor without written
permission from his wife-and very
good consequence it is.

bsg" A case of considerable importance

BSg" A case of considerable importance
as relating to secret societies was disposed
Of by Justice Arnold, of Chicago, the
other day. The particulars are as follows:
A respectable German of that city named
Simon Hildenbuter, determined, if posi-
BILE, to join one or more secret associations
He accordingly made application to the
Hermann Soehne, also the Cherusker
Lodge, No. 92, in both of which he was
admitted to full fellowship.
Mr.. Hidenbutter was induced princi-
pally by the wish to provide friends for
his wife and little children, if ne should
suddenly be called away He un-
derstood that in case of his death that the
lodge members would have to aid and as
sist his family, and that his body would
be buried at the expense of the order.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Hildenbutter
died, and was buried from his own house
by his wife, and not by the lodges to
which he belonged. Then some of the
widows friends advised her to sue the
societies, which she did by commencing
suit before Arnold. In their defence the
trustees of the lodges pleaded want of
observance of the constitution and by
laws on the part of the deceased brother.
In answer to an inquiry whether the
deceased had ever been under sentence
Of suspension, the trustees replied in the
negative whereupon the justice decided
that the lodges were bound to extend to
the widow and children all the privileges
usually given ON such occasions, for, al
though the man might not have been an
exemplary brother, he was nevertheless
member in full standing in the order,
and that no lodge had right to impugn
his character after death. He would or
der verdict for 800 in favor of Mrs.
Hildenbutter.

D9n Mr.. A. g. Dake, together with
his wife, who resides at the north end of
the village at Callstown, New York, left
home on Monday for the purpose of being
absent a few days, leaving their house in
charge of hired girl named Josie Fitz-
gerald During the day the girl invited
young lady named Mary Manogue to
stay with her that night, which she con-
sented to do.
Just before retiring to bed the girl reg
ulated the draft of the stove, as she
supposed all right for the night. When
they awoke in the morning and attempt
ed to arise they found themselves unable
to do so. They lay in state of stupe-
faction, and remained so until about six
o'clock on Tuesday evening last, when
Miss Manogue, who was still unable to
stand, succeeded in creeping to the out
side door and calling for assistance.
The neighbors went in, when they
found the room filled with gas from the
stove, and the girls in critical condition.
A physician was called, who did every
thing in his power to relieve them. They
are at present recovering as rapidly as
can be expected. Had it not been for
the strong presence of mind of Miss
Manogue in creeping to the door and
calling for assistance, they wonld, with
out doubt, have both died in short
time.

Sey~ At Meridian, on the 9th inst,

S6y" At Meridian, on the 9th inst,
during the trial of three negroes charged
with riotous conduct, one of the prisoners,
Finley, alias Tyler, shot and instantly
killed Justice Bramlette, who was pre-
siding. Indiscriminate firing ensued and
two negroes were killed in the court
room. Tyler jumped from second
story window, was pursued by the sheriff
and posse, and shot to death. The cit
izens assembled in large numbers, armed,
to assist the officers. The sheriff ordered
them to disarm the negroes, and, in doing
this, several we're killed AS far as pos
itively ascertained, six negroes and Judge
Bramlette were killed.

SENATOR SUMNER has been and still
is strongly opposed to the acquisition of
San Domingo. For his opposition to this
pet scheme of the administration he has
been threatened with a removal from his
position as Chairman Of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, but yet no one sup
posed that any such step would be taken
1t was therefore with general astonish-
ment that the news was received, that in
the formation of the Senate Committees
for the Forty Second Congress, that Sen
ator Summers name had been dropped
from that Committee. Such course is
calculated to introduce discord into the
ranks, and consequently will seriously
weaken the party in power, and for that
reason alone, we are surprised that such
step should have been taken. With a
mere party injury however, we have
nothing to do, but we look upon this
change as loss to the nation, for we do
not think there is another man in the u.
S. Senate as well-ftted for that position.
Besides this, the views of Mr.. Sumner
upon the San Domingo treaty are shared,
we believe by large majority of the
voters of the nation, and consequently,
his removal from that Committee for
such cause is an outrage not only on
Mr.. Sumner but upon all who are oppos-
cd to further extension of territory and
a consequent addition to the national debt.
