Mr.. EDIr0n IL saw ia your last week 8
issue slur taken from the Huntsrdon Demo
craft upon the order of Good TempIars In re-
ference to the pint and half pint TASKS. We
did not expect TO see such fling at any moral
society that was calculated to elevate the
Editors political friends, much less from a
leading church member, who should always
be an advocate of any good thing. But for
our part we are like the boy that got kicked
by long cared animal-we consider where
it came from. SOBER MAN.

Curious CAsE.--A correspondent of the
Republican, writing from Glen Gardner, tells
the following remarkable story Another
sad case of insanity has occurred in our
neighborhood, beyond Charlestown. The
wife of Syrenis johnson, was taken by her
husband, at her own request to the Asylum
Her case is rather singular one. She knows
her condition, talks about it, converses as
sensibly as any one, says she is not crazy, but
still she says there is something tells her at
times that she must destroy herself and
youngest daughter of six years. She says
she cannot describe the agony she is in when
those spells come over her, in trying to resist
the tempter. She don't want to be her own
destroyer, neither does shs want to harm her
child. She told Mr.. johnson to watch her
and not let her do it. She thought by going
to the Asylum she could be cured, and was
anxious to go.
A similar case happened some years ago at
the Union. Mrs. Wagner got the idea in
her head that she must starve herself to death.
Three times she made the attempt, and twice
was persuaded to cat but the third time her
mind could not be changed, and she died ON
the eleventh day.

Ey~ Martin 0'Neil and Michael Carmody,
two of the principal parties engaged in the
drunken row near the corner of Main and
Bridge streets, few Sundays ago, were
brought before Esquire Dean one day last
week by warrant issued npon complaint Of
Mr. Cornelius Arnett, who it will be remem-
bered succeeded in getting Carmody's broth.
er locked up at the time.
The hearing was held at the York Street
House on Saturday evening. Carmody appear
ed and pleaded guilty and was fined, which
with the costs, amounted to 1925.
O'Niel, although under bail to appear, was
not on hand, owing, as we hear, to some i'm
portant business OF his own.
We trust that the affair will not be allowed
to drop but that he will be brought before the
justice and have the punishment he SO richly
deserves, melted out to him.
Mr.. Arnett is entitled TO great credit for his
course in this affair. Our city authorities
whose business it is to see that cases of this
kind are promptly dealt with, will probably
see that they appear to most people to be
creeping out of avery small hole, when they
leave this duty be done by a private citizen.

Mr.. Hill at once suspected there was some-
thing in contemplation that needed Watching
and started after them. He went as far as the
Lambertville House, when he saw man
standing in the door, who turned out to be
Opdycke. Hill asked him if he had seen any
thing of a couple Of persons passing down
the street and he replied that he had. and
that they had just gone on down South Union
street. Hin had an arrangement with Capt.
Kitchin by which he stepped inside of the
house in going his rounds to see that all was
right. In attempting to do this, be found
the door fastened. Suspecting at once that
something was wrong, he asked of Opdycke
the reason for it, to which he replied that be
did not know. BY this time Oliver Naylor
arrived, and Hill left him to guard the front
reached the rear Of the kitchen, he heard some
one jump through the back parlor window,
who proved to be Smith. He left his hat be-
hind and scrambled over fencs. Hill called
out to stop or he would shoot To this Smith
paid no attention, and as he mounted the
second fence, Hill fred, the ball striking in
close proximity to Smith, as shown by the
marks ON the fence next morning.
There is title doubt but that a bur-
glary would have been committed but for the
prompt action OF Mr.. Hill, and there are strong
reasons for believing that he was acting in
concert with some person outside.
Smith is we'll known to our citizens as the
one who in company with "Spiggot " Sproat,
robbed the Post Office ia this city in May,
1875, and has thus far eluded punishment for.
that crime. He has just been released from
Our State Prison on the expiration of q nine
months sentence for robbery in New Bruins
wick.
Smith was, and is now. without doubt, the
leader OF a gang of worthless fellows who are
preying upon our citizens, some of whom, If
watched, would probably be caught in some
of the robberies going on in our city, and it
would be well if our authorities were to seta
watchful eye over some of his associates
Mr.. Hill deserves praise for his prompt and
MANLY action in this affair and proves himself
to be the right man in the right place.
