Can anything induce Gov. Peck to come
to Burlington and investigate matters at
the Jail The sheriff has requested him to
do 80, citizens have urged him TO the same
end, but His Excellency, like other great
bodies, moves slowly. The trouble in this
instance is, he won't move at all. He could
leave his Jericho farm to fight the Concord
elephant. His kline went unmilked, or were
MIXED at second hand, while the Governor
fought at Lexington. Surely, Mr.. Peck can
spare day to Burlington. Sixteen able
bodied men, committed to Jail for "drunks,"
who cannot pay their 6ues, are kept month
after month in prison, at an expense to the
state, when they ought to DO liberated ana
earning their own living. The pardoDing
power is vested in the Governor alone.-Sen-

On Monday, Deputy Sheriff Stevens pro-
ceeded to the inn Of Benz. Scott, Eden, with
warrant to search for liquor, seize the
"critter" and arrest the owner. Mr.. Scott
was informed of his business, and showed
him into his bar, aud a small quantity of
liquor was found Stevens then proposed TO 20
down cellar to make further search, but to
this Mr.. Scott demurred. The officer ex-
pressed determination to 90 down, and Mr..
Scott was equally determined that he should
not and informed him that he would never
live to get down there. Stevens said he
should 90 down or die, whereupou Scott col
Jared him aud called for help, and his family
gathered around and INDUCED in language
more vigorous than elegant, but the deter
mined officer was too much for them, and
soon rolled out of the cellar hatchway about
200 gallons Of old Kentucky and Ohio bour.
bon valued at nearly thousand dollars.

AT LARGE AGAIN Sheriff Dwinell re.
Gently got a requisition from Gov. Peck
with permission of the governor Of New York
TO arrest Albert Meacham who broke Jail
here in 1872, and who has since resided in
the Empire State. The sheriff repaired
thither, found his man and got him as far
toward Jail as the red.school house on I'm
port road in Morristown, yesterday, when
Meacham was allowed to enter tho water
closet there on request. While there two
gentlemen came along and convcrsed with
Archie for awhile. After little Meacha m
was called, and responded. He was soon
called again, when one Of the gentlemen said
he had just, come out and had gone around the
school house. A glance at the adjacent field
showed Meacham on run for the woods as
for his life. The officer created posse Of the
two men who had been talking with him,
and the chase commenced, which was pretty
evenly maintained, though the gap was
being shortened somewhat. Meacham, prob
ably fearing recapture, shed his breeches
without stopping. and thus relieved, reached
the woods, aud up to this hour has success
fully eluded pursuit. He had relieved him
self of his boots before starting on the race
aud is now wandering breechesless and boot
less in the wilds of Joe's Pond, unless some
kind friend has given shelter, which it is
thought quite likely. -NetCsdealer.
