HONORABLY ACQUITTED.

Our readers will remember the account
we gave some six weeks ago of the ar
rest of G.. A. Hull in this city who, on
requisition of the Governor of Illinois,
the charge of forgery. 1t seems from
what information we have obtained that
Hull, as agent for sewing machine
company, took and turned in to the COM
pany by way, of settlement a note of one
Chas. BosheI of fremont, Ill. Since Mr..
Hull's departure, the company sent on
the note for collection, but failing to find
Mr.. Boshel, supposed the note to have
been forged, which led to the arrest
The party Boshel having been found, he
appeared at the trial, acknowledging
both his signature and liability, and MIR.
Hull was acquitted of the charge. A few
days ago Hull returned to this city. He
brought with him the following which
speaks for itself
PKKN, ILL.,, Feb. 81, 1876.
To all trho1n it may concern:
This is to certify that George A. Hull
who WAS indicted and tried in the Taz-
well County Circuit Court on the charge
of forgery, was this day honorably ac-
qbitted and discharged by jury of said
court, before whom said cause was tried.
EDWARD PRATT,
Sheriff.
A similar arrest on similar prete1i
took place some time last spring by the
Singer Co., and if nothing worse can be
found against Mr.. Hull, it is about time
he Is let alone.

A NOBLE STEKD.-For fast trotting
commend us to ''Pinery Boy" the black
stallion owned by John Tuft. We ai'nt
much of a jockey, "'hoss-talk" and turf
jargon lying somewhat outside of our
line of taste ; can't say what the kind of
blood is that courses through the royal
in'ards of "Pinery Boy" but one thing
we do know, and that is, that he trots
finely and goes like creased chain-light-
ming. During the latter part of last
week 'Pinery Boy" did big thing on
ice somewhere above the hail Road
bridge, scoring half mile in one min
ute and seventeen seconds. This for a
horse of but little training, large and
powerful as ''Pinery Boy" Is, suggests
the probability that he will be heard
from i'll time as one of the turf her
oes of the Badger State. G'lang
