ARREST OF A YOUNG MAN FROM STAUN :
TON ON AN UNsUsTA1NED CHANGE
The Richmond Enquirer of Wednesday
has the following about the arrest OF
citizen of Staunton in that city, who was
subsequently ronorably discharged:
Last November a young man from
Staunton came to Richmond and pur-
chased a bill of goods, amounting to $1,000
from Solomon Wise, clothier, and in De
cember he bought goods of Isaac Hirsh,
for which he was charged $67 .25. In each
case herepresented himself as being a mer-
chant doing business on his own account
in Staunton, and the goods were charged
to him. Neither bill was paid when it fell
due, and the creditors failed to receive
any reply to their urgent duns. Recently
they learned from the young mans father
that his son had not been in business for
himself. This was the position of affairs
when the youth ventured to come again
to the city on Monday morning, and was
arrested upon two warrants, charging him
with obtaining under false pretences the
goods above mentioned. Yesterday the
frightened youth and the anxious credi-
| tors appeared at the Police court and wait
ed for the case to be called. But the time
passed in waiting was not lost, for one OF
| them with his lawyer and the youth i'm
proved the moments by arranging the
| debt When the case of Wise was called
| Mr.. Wise said he could not make out his
case as charged, and the warrant was dis
| missed.
| Mr.. Hirsh then came forward and testi-
| fed that the goods had been obtained from
him under false pretences, and that the de-
| PENDANT had admitted it in the presence OF
| MI. Flegenheimer. The defendant said he
had not made that admission, but he had
paid Mr.. Wise's bill Just before the case
was called and had told MI. Hirsh he
would pay him as soon as he could get
some Chesapeake and Ohio railroad script
endorsed.
The Justice decided to postpone the
hearing of the Hirsh case until Mr.. Fleg-
enheimer could be brought into court, but
just then Flegenheimer came hlrrying
and almost breathless into the roo a, car
rying roll of script freshly signed. The
court Questioned him closely as to what
the defendant had said in his presence,
but no satisfactory answer was elected,
and this case, too, was dismissed
The young man thus compelled to pay
his debts by criminal prosecution was ma
turally much annoyed, but prudently said
nothing to indicate his feelings until out
of court, when he threatened to sue for
false imprisonment But he has proba
bly, returned to Staunton a poorer, though
a wiser man.

LIABILITY OF A FRIEND-A STAUN-
TON FIRM CRESTED "A case involv-
ing some important points was ended in
the Superior Court yesterday. The firm
of Mandelbaum e Brother, of Staunton,
Va. were introduced to R. NJ. Spiller. &
Co., of this city, by William Kerngood, of
the firm Of Kerngood & Brother, who, it is
alleged, represented the condition of Man
delbaum & Brother as financially good and
prosperous, when, in fact, it was not so.
Spiller & Co. claiming that the sale of about
81 900 worth Of goods was made on credit
to Mandelbaum Il Brother through these
representations, when it was found that
they could not recover the debt from Man
delbaum & Brother, brought suit for the
amount against Mr.. Kerngood. The case
was very sharply contested by w. F. Frick,
ESQ.,, for the plaintiff, and for the defend
ant, Judge King and Charles Marshall,
Esq, Judge Dobbin held sthat if the re-
presentation was made Of the commercial
standing of a third party for the purpose
of inducing a sale of goods to him, such re-
presentation being intended to give the
party false credit, the party making the
representation WIS liable for the debt,
and the jury found verdict against The
defendant, Mr.. Kerngood, for the amount
of the debt and interest. The counsel fol
the defendant moved for u new trial

The parties were held to bail in the sum

THE ACTION OF THE ACADEMY.
The Richmond dispatch" of Monday
gives later and different account Of the
s'action'' of the Academy of Medicine, as
follows:
We are informed that the Academy of
Medicine, at meetings previous to Thurs
day night. fully discussed the propriety OF
Dr. McGuire's treatment of his patient,
but, according to custom, never took any
vote either approving or disappearing it.
The Academy discusses for the informal
| ton of members cases reported to it, but
never by it's vote passes its judgment upon
I the correctness of the treatment. No
charges were ever presented against DIR.
| Mcclure; he was never on trial. There
| fore in his case no vote was necessary
| The committee that reported Thursday
night was charged solely with the consid'
GRAFTON of ethical questions, and it exhon-
Grated DR.. Wexford, and it's report was
unanimously adopted.

when his name was called there was no

the voting was over. Blaine reappeared
andssxplained his dodging the vote by
saying that as candidate for President
it would have been out of taste for him
to do anything to block the wheels of
Grant. his rival. So Blaine for sone is
satisfied that Grant is after a third term,

in, and off went the rat again until he
sprang clear out of the next flush box
One length OF the cable was Thus safe,
and ths same operation was commenced
with the other; but the rat stopped short
few rods in the pipe and boldly await

combat here commenced, ,and it was fear

die in the pipe. But after sundry violent
jerks had been given to the string, the
combatants separated the ferret return

the other extremity of the pipe, carried
the string fight through, and so relieved
the Inspector from his anxiety.

agement; the committee might as well
make out his dismissal, as he should not
resign until he saw fit. The Herald
says that the dissatisfaction which has
of late been manifesting itself against
Tammany hall is gradually assuming
shape. Last night there were assem-
bled in one of the upper parlors Of Del
monIco's, corner of Fourteenth street
and Fifth avenue, large number of in
fuential Democrats, whose object was
TO form an organization which, it is
hoped, will supercede 1ammany. The
latter organization, they claim, has out
lived its usefulness, and the time is now
ripe for party reorganization on new
basis, which will give all the people a
chance to form q general committee,
which will be constituted OF representa-
tives Of the various elements of the par
ty. To this end it was last night de-
cided to get representative delegations
from each Of the city wards, with g
view to arranging the preliminaries for
the election Of the general committee
projected. The first object of the or
gsDiz3tion will be to institute q system
site campaign against Tammany. 1t is
now intended that the general commit
tee shall be provisional one, but that
it shall be permanent, On Monday
next another meeting will be held, at
which about four or five representatives
from each ward will be present, and it
is then expected that important work
will be done.
