Yesterdav an interesting trial

Juror Pitkin, for stealing divers articles of
value from Ira S. Town. 1t rem ,ins TO
be seen whether he will be bound I'D for
trial. Keen worked for Town in his lew
ellers store. and roomed at Mr.. Towns.
Various articles were found in the possess
sion of Mrs. Quade, resident in Camps
Block, that Mr.. Town claimed were his.
heen was suspected of having disposed of
these to Mrs. Q. The defence appears to
be that Keen had right to dispose of such
articles as he did dispose of, and that more
dIsposals are charged to him than belong
in that quarter. There is also we under
stand charge against Keen by Mrs. @.

SHREwD.-Bowen, editor and proprietor
of the IndtpendeM, is for business. HI
lately sent to DIR. Lord, of this place, a let
ter, saying 4 merchant had paid for fifty
copies of the Hldependc1h, and one of them
was for him-and, would the Doctor be
kind enough to thank the man, in n letter
to Bowen, and give an account of his in
come, and such private affairs rs would
be interesting to the public DR. Lord nei-
Their took the paper nor gave the informa-
ton, but very pointedly suggested that it
was none of Mr. Bowen's, or the public
business what money he received. or
what he did with it. But did the Doc
tor mean to rap Bcechcr in his time
of trial, when he suggested the great
Brooklyn preacher. rs Il man to whom
Bowen might send his copy of the llde-
pendent, and as one whose private affairs
the public would be glad to have an
authentic statement Of
This same Bowen is about as poor a lot
as has been opened in all the BROOKLYN
trouble. He is dsliked by everybody. or
else his friends have an unaccountable
continuance of silence He used to do
just such business strokes as this late one,
for, rs the Boston Globe saws: Some
years ago, publisher named Bowen, EN- .
ployed young man named Tilton to edit
a paper in Brooklyn. n Y. In order to
give the young man Il good send off, Bow
en- sent n PERSONAL letter to each of sew
eral of the leading editors of the country,
suggesting that they send telegram. to
Tilton on the night on which he should
assume his duties, conveying such friend
ly sentiments as should not only cheer the
young man in his new work. but answer
as available reading matter in the
aforesaid Brooklyn paper. Times have
changed since then. and now not 4 few
people have 4 curiosity to know how the
publisher feels toward the editor. \ few
remarks on this subject, from Bowen,
would make 4 demand for the paper il
which this might be published, that would
even exceed that for the first number OF
the Brooklyn sheet issued under Tilton'
editorship.'
