litter, and before she could demonstrate, was
hustled into filthy cell in the common Jail
The little dog. seeing man put forcible
hands upon his mistress, nobly came to her
assistance and bit the officer in the hand, for
which he was Immediately killed. The lady
remained in the Jail through the night, and
on being presented to court was immediate
ly discharged, there not being the slightest
grounds of suspicion against her. Indeed,
she proved to be Of very good family and
universally respected. Now, this sapient
policeman excuses himself for this brave
piece of work by saying that he once read
book written perhaps by Buffalo Bill in
which a woman was in the habit of visiting
stores accompanied by a trained dog who
barked and shifted at everybody's heels. thus
creating a commotion, which his mistress
took advantage of by secreting bolts of silk
and other articles about her person; that he
thought this might be the same woman, and
he locked her up, not however, until he had
beaten and bruised her in several places. AS
this is one of the oldest and most expe-
rienced men on the force, what do you think
must be the fellows who still have the hair
on their teeth?
AN INEBRIATE ASYLUM
The Bluegrass temperance convention APP
pointed a committee of well known gentle
men, of influence, to prepare an address to
the people OF kentucky, to urge upon the
next legislature the necessity of appropriate
ing sufficient sum to build an asylum for
ineb1ates. In the address, which has been
issued, the need of such an institution is set
forth in unanswerable arguments, taking the
grounds that as drunkenness fills our poor
houses jails, penitentiaries and lunatic aSy-
lums with its victims, that an institution
which cures drunkard of his disease and
makes him useful member of society is as
absolutely essential fer the protection of the
people and the transgressor himself aspny
of the charitable institutions founded by
the state. Should the movement be success
full, it only remains for the managers to
make it something more than the ordinary
asylums of this character, which in too
many instances are only used by profession
al topers to recuperate after debauch in
order 10 tone up their nerves for another
drunk.
PROVED 1T on HER.
Mrs. Julia McAndrew a short time since
brought suit against Mr.. Connerton and wife,
for defamation of character, claiming her
reputation was damaged to the amount of
several thousand dollars. Mrs. McA.
charged in her petition that the defendants
wife, on divers occasions and to sundry per-
sons had stated she Mrs ConnertOn) had de-
tected the plaintiff and Connerton under
very suspicious circumstances, at IL o'clock
at night, in an out house, and that from all
tile CIRCUMSTANCES III tic case b1c InObtO Vi
the order of the garter didn't amount to a
row of beans. The case was decided a couple
of days ago. and when Mrs. c. proved all her
charges to be true and offered to prove more
if necessary, a madden woman than Mrs.
Julia, or a sheepier fellow than c., would
have been hard TO find.
