The Cigars Taken from Mel Zachary
POunced Upon by n Revenue Official
Arrest Of a Negro for Completely
I'm the BurslarIes-MOre OF the stolen
Goods Recovered.
Thursday afternoon Mel Zachary sWoTe
out a warrant TO replevy the cigars, etc,
found in his house Wednesday night, and
which the court refused to surrender, on
the ground that they were seized under a
searCh-warrant. The case came up before
Justice Creighton yesterday afternoon, and,
after having heard the argument Of The
attorneys on both sides, he held the matter
under advisement till 8 O'Clock this morn
ing. When the attorneys had ceased
speaking, F. Pfister, Of the United States
Revenue Department, came in and seized
the cigars as not having been stamped &C
cording to law.
Detectives Pickett and Reddick arrested,
yesterday afternoon, a negro named John
alias Henry Williams, on the charge Of
participating in the recent robberies which
the Zacharys are charged with having COM
mitted. He was taken before Justice
Everett and sent to Jail to await trial at
noon next Tuesday. While the detectives
were on the lookout for Williams, they saw
him coming away from Mel Zachary's store
on the corner Of Cherry and DemOnbreun
streets, and at once pounced upon him. He
directed them to the House of Ms. Levy,
on Line street, where they recovered two
and a half yards Of the gray cloth, which
had been identified by Mr.. Timothy. The
negro says he bought the cloth from Mel
Zachary at fifteen cents per yard, and sold
II to Mrs. Levy for SI.50, a cigar,
and a drink Of whisky. A warrant
was sworn out against Williams by N. A.
Timothy. The detectives also recovered
one of the silver watches stolen from
Vaughn & Baker, and returned it to the
owners.

REMANDED.
The Mitch Pearson Murder Case Goes
Rack 20 Bedford for Another Trial.

The Mitch Pearson Murder Case Goes
Back 10 Bedford for Another Trial.
The judgment of the Criminal Court Of
Bedford county in the State vs.. Mitch Pear
son, for murder, was reversed by the Su-
preme Court, yesterday, Justice Freeman
delivering the opinion. 1t will be remem-
bered by many that Pearson was indicted
in 1865 for the murder of William Cheek,
and in 1873 was convicted Of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be hanged.
The ground Of reversal is, that the court
erred in refusing to grant a continuance
upon an affidavit that there was an impOr-
tant witness absent and residing in another
county, whose testimony the prisoner
wanted, in order to prove that he followed
up Cheek Just before the killing in the be-
lief that Cheek had stolen his horse and not
at the dictate of cool, deliberate malice.
The name Of this witness is FOrbs.

A Common Mistake about Postage.

To the Union and American:
Postage upon third-class matter has been
advanced from one cert for each two ounces
to one cent for each ounce. Third-class
matter includes everything except letters
and regular publications going to bona fide
subscribers. Parties are in the habit of
depositing in the letter boxes newspapers
and other third-class matter with only part
Of the postage paid. Such matter cannot
be forwarded, but must 90 into the waste.
The law is imperative, and the postmaster
has no discretion. II. W. HAssLOCR,

The Tired Body Sues for Sleep

II. R. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sr-It Is a. much from a sense OF duty
As Of gratitude that l write to on 70 say that
your VEGETINE-even II II is patent medi-
cine-has been Of great help TO me when nothing
else seemed TO avail which I could safely use.
Either excessive mental work or unusual care
brings upon me a nervous exhaustion that des-
peratsly needs sleep, but as desperately dees It.
Night after night the poor tired body sues for
sleep until the day-dawn Is welcomed back, and
We begin our work tired out with an almost
fruitlesS chase after rest Now have found
that a little VEGETINE, taken just before I
retire, gives me sweet and Immediate Sleep and
without any of the evil effects Of the usual mar
cotics I think two things would tend 70 make
Second. little more VEGETINE. This pre-
scriptiOn has helped NE.
Vow have a particular horror Of "patent
medicine" but have greater horror Of being
afraid TO tell the straight out truth The VEG
ETINE has helped me, and own il up.
Yours, etc, j. s. DICKERSON.
