is my understanding that it is the COM
mon custom; in some cases it is the duty
OF superintendent to locate new discov-

represents.
That PISTOL SHOT. A ridiculous
scene was enacted yesterday on Meadow
Valley street. At the report of q pistol,
a man named Frank Brotherton, former
ly proprietor of the California restaurant,
was seen to place his hand to his breast,
stagger and fall. A crowd soon collected,
thinking it was suicide, but, upon lifting
the drunken and hnlf-demented "shoot-
ist. not n scratch could be found. The
ball instead Of touching him, had cut
hole through the awning over his head.
As he could not satisfactorily explain the
cause of his shooting, and to save
further trouble, he was carefully taken
in charge by an officer, and hidden from
the cold charities of the world. This
careless display of firearms seems to be
becoming epidemical. Men who thus
loosely take chances of being booked for
murder, should in every case be pun
ished to the extreme extent of the law.
A peaceable law abiding citizen cannot
tell what moment his anatomy is to be
punctured, or made tom IRON of by
some OF the class of whom we speak.
The excuse Of being drunk, instead of
easing the charge, should make it more
cnlpabe. The glory of dying from the
effects Of ball centered by "a d-m
good fellow, only he was little tight"
is cud that few care to leave to their
families for mastication. We trust that
vigorous prosecution will attend any
cases that may hereafter come up.

two-horse team attached TO lumber

post, which marks the boundary of his
lot, they again turned, this time going
full tilt against, and through q small
cabin occupied by men in employ of
Delmor, the dairy man. To say that
they vacated lively, would but poorly
describe the scene. As il sagitated they
sped, nor stood upon their order of 60
ing. The horses by this time had sue
ceeded in demolishing some harness,
and a little house and wagon. As if
satisfied with their exploit for one day,
they allowed themselves to be captured
and led away. NJ insurance.
