The Horse in the Garret.

The hoist in the front part of Gold
Street leather house seemed to be
stuck. A load of leather had been put
on and the cali rope pulled, but the
hoist did not ascend. The men stared
wonderingly up the hatchway.
What's the matter?" asked a re-
porter, who was in the house. "Is the
rope caught?"
"Oh, no; the old horse seems to
have gone to Sleep" and he gave the
bell-rope another jerk.
"Ah, there he goes!' and up went
the hoist.
The reporter obtained permission to
go up stairs and look at the motive
power. In the garret was small sized
circus-ring. A horse was hitched to
one end of long beam, and as he
tramped around the track the motion
was, by means of an upright and bevel
gearing, communicated to horizontal
shaft on which was drum, around
which the rope of the hoist was coiled
as it was drawn up. The horse was
stout and well fed; he wore patient
and subdued expression.
Don't you have trouble sometimes
in making him start or stop just at the

Refined OH.

1t seems hal pure refined cotton
seed oil is destined to work quite a
revolution in the common cooking
system. Numbers of our citizens pro-
nounce it better than ordinary lard.
Among those who have tried it may
be mentioned Messrs. T. r. Farms
worth, W, II. Bates, j. @. Johnston,
H.. Hoennechsburg, and others, aud
they are unanimous in the verdict that
it meets a great public want. Mr..
George N. Paine and Mr.. Taylor are
agents for the introduction of this
new factor in domestic economy, and
will bring it to the attention Of the
public, Common lard rests under a
suspicion,-a nameless, i~ndescribable
doubt as to its purity, but this can
never apply to refined cotton seed oil,
for we know its Ingredients aud how
it is made. Let the new candidate for
public favor have a fair test.

The question that presents itself 10
the dispassionate citizen: What has
the LEDGER against Officer Plummer2
The morning papers have ceased TO
mention the case except simply to re-
cord the action taken in IT, Yet their
evening contemporary, in its last issue,
devotes 32l lines of bourgeoise TO a
rehash of the doiaes OF a mob who
have not tho decency to give fair play
TO a man who is in the hands of tho
law and will be tried by tho law. Tho
man who was killed belonged to the
"s'ciety, and that settles it. II is
true tho dead mans friends have kept
within the bounds ofthc law-because
they dare not do othorwiso--but that
they kept within the bounds Of pro-
pretty is open to dispute. Such a
statement sounds queer, coming from
a newspaper.-Avalanche II.
THE morning papers have ceased ii
have they? Well this is a big over.
sight on the part of the LEDGER, and
a sad mistake not to follow such an H.
lustrious example. There may be pos
sibly a little difference OF opinion in
this case as to whether the head Of the
dog should wag the shaggy tail, or the
tail should wag the head, or words to
that effect.

LEGER's LAST LOAD
Has Been Hauicd.-A Hack DrIv.
err Stabbed bya Butcher.

Early this morning Information
reached the stationhouse that John
Leger had been fatally stabbed by
Bill Bross. Procuring a description
OF Bross, Captain 0'Haver sought
out and entered the sleeping apart
ment Of Kney]s employees, and search
ing about silently among them, found
a bloody knife in the pocket Of
one of them, whom he thought from
the description to be Brosa. Waking
him he asked, What about that row
you were in last night near the Leath
orphan asylum
"0h yes, with Leger.' was the reply.
HE struck me and | stabbed him.
A small bruised place was visible
under his eye. The man went on to
say that Bross was lying in the road
dead drunk, and Leger was about to
drive his hack oyer him, when he
caught the reins and stopped the
horses. Leger sprang from his seat
and struck him, when he drew his
knife and stabbed him. His name
was not Bross however but Laton
Proctor. Captain 0'Hsver did not
tell him Leger was dead, but replied
truthfully that he had gone home"
When he finally arrived at the station
house and preferred a charge Of muir
der, Proctor stared stupidity
around and said nothing. Bross
has not been seen since the ARRAY.
Proctor bears the reputation Of
having always been a quiet aud peace
ably disposed young man. He is en-
ployed by Mr., Chas. Kney, and is net
more than eighteen or twenty years of
age.
An inquest was held over the re.
mains of Leger on the spot where he
died by Esquire Egnew, after which
the body was carried to the under
takers, where it lay all of this fore
noon, and where many curious people
went to gaze upon the CHASTITY spec
tacle.
The clothing of the murdered man
was besmeared with blood and cover
ed with dirt, as if he had rolled over
two or three times in his death strug-
giles. The small blade of the knife had
penetrated the breast between the
left shoulder and the neck, seyering
the jugular vein, and causing death
within a few minutes after the fatal
blow was given. The cut could not
nave been made in a more fatal spot
with so small a weapon. Legor has
liye'l in this city for a dozen years or
more past, and for some time back has
been driving a hack for Mr.. Edwards.
was a rough man, and has been in
scrapes during his career in

When arrested, young Proctor was
not aware of the result of his iracas.
told the officer he wished to see
the hack driver arrested, as the row
between them had been as smuch or
more the fault of the driver than Lis

where the SCOT was washed of her
face and showed her to be a beautiful,

girl, not more than fourteen years old.
She gave her name as Carrie Martin,
and said she had been inhumanly
treated by her uncle, with whom sic
lived, near Bartlett. She had been
compelled to adopt this disguise in
order to escape. She exhibited sew.

her and she was sent at once to the
