THoUGHTFUL MOTHER. "A careful
housewife went to the Poplar street mar
ket-house, Saturday evening, to make
provision against hunger. She carried
her baby with her, and left the little in
nocent in charge of one of the stalls
while she went in search of choice eat
ables. Having supplied herself, she re-
turned to her Preside, when she suddenly
remembered that she had forgotten some
thing. She searched the basket, but
vegetables, meats and everything seemed
there all right. Finally she noticed an
empty cradle, and Of course started in
hot haste after the forgotten baby. This
spoiled a sensation reporter was eager
for.

sIcIeAAp Arrssted.

Sheriff Curry this morning arrested
Tax Collector Mclean on the charge Of
embezzling the countys funds. There
are said to be six indictments against
Mclean, but only one capias has been
issued. 1t is believed by McLean's
friends that the Grand Jury has exag-
gerated the deficit, and that 9 careful ex-
animation of the books and vouchers
will show. that the defalcaticn is not
above $4,000 or 100000. This, it is
understood, McLean's bondsmen will
readily make good. General Williamson
told our reporter this morning that he
had noticed many errors in the Grand
Jury report, among which was an item
of $64, 900 which should have been cred
tied to 1871, but much Of that amount
was scattered about through other
years. A statement will be published as
soon as he can make it out. His bonds
men and attorneys were trying tofind
bond this morning.. Unless it is pro
cured, Mclean will be sent to jail. The
most exaggerated rumors are afoat, and
excitement runs high.

Tne Pope COUNTY Troubles.

We published telegraphic special in
the LEDGER of Thursday concerning the
war in Pope county, Ark. From the
Little Rock Gazette of Saturday we learn
the following additional particulars;
at will be remembered that Sheriff
Dodson had arrested number of priso-
ners in Pope county and was taking
them to another county. When about
three miles from RusselIville, the posse
was fred into, the prisoners being in
front. The Sheriff Immediately ordered
the posse to fire on the prisoners, which
they did, killing Tucker outright and
MORALLY wounding Hale. West and old
man Hale escaped. The firing is be-
lieved to have been done by a portion Of
the Sheriff s posse who had left the main
body a short time previous, and was a
preconcerted affair on the part Of the
Sheriff. In fact young man named
Taylor, who was one of the posse that
did the firing in front, has confessed that
such was the fact and agrees to testify
to the facts il he can be protected. On
Wednesday the militia went into the
town Of Gala Rock and sacked all the
stores and private residences for arms
and ammunition. Thursday they re-
turned and pressed into service all the
available horses in the neighborhood
In all portions of the county, in fact
they are reported to have entered pri
vate residences and taken all the guns
and ammunition to be found"
