Portage was acquitted of being an aces
sorry to the buring of John Sutton's pro-
perty, in March, 1878. The case was
tried in the circuit court, Judge Stewart,
and lasted five days. 1t was very excit-

twenty minutes. Fox, who has for many
years kept the Fox House at Columbus,
was received at the depot by crowd OF
people, who were very demonstrative in
their congratulations.
The two men whom Fox was alleged
to have melted to the incendiarism, were
sentenced last December to seven years
each in Waupun.

hist and Players.

Mr. Henry Jones "Cavendish"), il
his new book, gives some pleasant gossip
about whist and whist-players. OfJames
Clay he tells companion story to that
in "Sans Merci," where Clay (presented
as ''Castlemaine') observes to Vincent
Fleming: cit has been computed that
IL 900 young Englishmen, once heirs tc
to fair fortunes, are wandering about the
| continent, in q state of utter restitution,
because they would not lead trumps with
FIVE and an honor in their hands" 1t
was when second player. holding ace,
king, knaye, 1inesse3 the knave instead
ef playing the king, third hand taking
the trick with the queen, and ace and
king being afterward tsnmped. ''The
player turned to Clay and asked whetfBer
the fassse of the knave Was justifable,
To him the following crushsng rejoiner;.
spoken very deliberately at the wall oppo-
site: at the game of whist al played in
England pause you are not called upon
to win a. trick another pauseb unless
you please Another anecdcse quite
in the same vein, is as follows: ga play
er having, asked for trumps, thoagh he
did not hold trump Ga most outrageous
whist atrocity), his partner said after the
hand: II presume you did not intend
to ask, but pulled out wrong card
No. was the reply, i had very good
hand and wanted trumps out THEN,
turning to Clay, he inquired if, with
very good hand, his play was defensible.
Clay threw himself back in his chair and
stared at the cornice in the next room.
He had long cigar cooked out OF
one corner of his mouth, and as he
spoke in his ultra judicial tone, his voice
seemed to proceed, in most comical and
indescribable manner, from behind the
cigar He said: 4 have heard of it's be-
ing done once before pause by dear
old friend of mine [pausel. and, limo
Gently pursued the victim, was your friend
a good judge of whist?' 4 am bound to
add resumed Clay, as though he had
wished to conceal the fact, but that the
recital of it was wrung from him by this
question, 4 am bound to add that he died
afterward pause, then very distinctly in
-a-lunatic asylumn -"
