The following which we take from the
Kalamazoo Telegraph, is undoubtedly correct,
except that Mrs. Roberts did not live in Law
ton, but in the vicinity of Mattawan:
"The case of Mrs. Roberts of Lawton, who
was before Justice Davis, May 31st on the
charge of forgery and waived examination,
is very sad one. She owned note of SIG.
This note was taken by her husband, who
not long since abandoned her, taking with
him her son, little boy. To obtain money
to pursue him she forged this note upon Mr..
Rix, of Texas, and sold it to the City bank.
Her purpose was to find her husband, get
possession of her child and the note and
then replace it for the one she forged. She
obtained the money, selling the note for
S110, but failed in her purpose. She was
arrested, restored some $40 and is willing to
do anything She has young babe in her
charge. On being arraigned, she said there
was no defense. She supposed she would be
able to carry out the plan, and seemed to be
utterly broken down by her troubles and
misfortunes. When arraigned before Judge
Hawes the following day on the charge of
forgery she plead guilty. In view of the ex-
tenuating circumstances and the generous
position taekn by Mr.. Dayton of the city
bank, Judge H@wes permitted the poor wo-
man to go upon her own recognizance upon
suspended sentence.

ss,5sSsI,T EpIENY LETTER.

Christmas is over and everything has
gotten back into the old grooves; even
the weather, after few days holiday,
has resumed its old misunderstanding,
and applies itself to its present vocation
with an energy not very consollng to
the propretors Of depleted wood-piles
and empty coal-bins. The cold is said
to be without precedent, and the mercu-
ry has been running a downward scale
of sixteenth notes 10 quadruple time.
Thermometers have varied according TO
the exposure, some having notched the
figures of 20 degrees below zero, others
in more protected places, in their gam
bats, struck the note OF evey degree
from Is to %. Indeed, | heard of one
thermometer that became so much dis
couraged and disguised in its efforts to
do "fair thing" that the mercury re
treated to the bowl" in dispalr, and
persis,ently refused TO have anything
further to do with the indication Of the
temperature, until a change of weather
should be effected.
The roads are very much driited, in
some places the fences have entirely dis
appeared beneath the ~hirling waves of
snow. Frozen hands, feet and ears,
have been quite the order of the week.
But one death from cold has been ru
mored, and that was OF negro, named
Sugar Thomas. The rumor announcing
his death, announced Charlestown as
the place and liquor as the cause.
MIR. Francis Morgan, of this vicinity,
was recently the victim of mistaken
philanthropy. A tramp with the handle
of "Frank" TO some unknown name,
claiming to hail from Fairfax county,
Va, applied to him for shelter on Sat
urday last. He enjoyed the hospitality
of Mr.. Nj. that night and the day follow
ing, but Monday morning found him
missing, with about twenty dollars
worth of clothes, among which was
good overcoat and pair of boots.
Mr. John J. lIillery, of Ripon vicini-
", had twelve or fifteen bushels of clo-
yer seed stolen from his barn a short
time since. The seed had recently been
,hreshed and was left in bags on the
barn floor. A negro. George Earnar by
name, offered two bushel seed compar-
ing with samples of stolen seed, at the
Grange store in Charlestown, one day
last week. Communication was had
with Mr.. H., and the negro was arrest
ed, and after examination before mag
istrate, was lodged in Jail. A search
warrant was gotten out but the bulk of
the seed remains yet undiscovered.

An interesting extract is this: "The
Herculaneum dog Delta, has left behind
him q wonderful record Of valor. In
tht disinterment OF the buried city, his
skeleton was found stretched over that
of a boy of about twelve years old, most
probably clasping bis charge TO prevent
his being suffocated or burned. The
boy persisted as well as the faithful Del
Ia; but collar remains to tell of the

SWALLOWED Ills lEErH.-A singular
mishap occurred 10 prominent gentle
man from one of the lower counties OF
Maryland a few days ago, while he was
on visit to relatives i'll Baltimore.
The circumstances connected with the
affair are of an amusing character, such
rs perhaps were never witnessed III tins
city. A few days after Christmas this
gentleman came TO Baltimore TO have a
good time, and while he was enjo!ing
the convivialities SO peculiar 10 the
season he met with this extraordinary
accident. 1t appears that in company
with several friends he had parlaken
extrayagantly of egg nog and other
good things until that condition was
produced which is so familiar TO the
lovers of Christmas cheer. In this
semi-consc;ous state, whilst endeavormg
to partake of solid food, he swallowed
six or seven false teeth, together with
the plate to which they were attached.
The size of this plate by actual meas
urcment was about l-2X1 l2 inches.
1t would seem almost impossible for 50
large a body to traverse so snail IN
opening as the D5ophagus, bat this can
be readily accounted for by the fact
that at the time of the accident the par
ty was in the condition OF complete
muscular relaxation, which Is very SINH
lar 10 that produced by the inhalation
of chloroform. Consequently, under
such circumstances the throat was very
expansive, and the foreign body (or set
of teeth could traverse it with but
slight resistance The unfortunate man
did not seem TO be aware OF his cOrdi-
ton until the following day, when the
absence of lis teeth and an intense
pain in the region of his stomach ex-
cited his appreheuslons, which were
subsequently verified in all their fright
ful reality. lie at once sought promi-
nrnt medical advice but all their efforts
in the shape of eme.ics proved unavail
ing, whilst his condition was rapidly
becoming more and more serious. His
stomach rejected even the most delicate
articles of food and his strength was
greatly exhausted. Fearing that some
thing unusually serious was the matter,
his relatives summond Dr. a. Hill, a
prominent young surgeon, who was
not long in responding to the call.
When the doctor arrived at the house
he found his patient in very weakened
condition, and after careful examine
ton, concluded that he was suffering
from incipient inflammation of the stom-
ach, which he thought was produced
by the swallowing of some hard sub.
stance. The usual remedies were ap-
piled but proved futile, consequently
the only mode by which the patient
could be relieved was by the operation
known as "gastrotomy," or opening of
the stomach. after the proper incis-
ions had been made, 10 the great sur
prise of all present, set of false teeth
met their gaze They were at once re-
moved and at the request OF the patient
restored to their former position. The
man is now rapidly recovering, and says
he intends "to swear off for the future"

Gen. Golf, DR., Secretary Of the
Navy.

In the third effort made by the Presi-
dent to obtain first-class Southern re-
publican for the position of Secretary OF
the Navy he has met with the most graf
flying success. After ii was found that
neither Gen. Wickham nor Judge Bux-
ton could be had, the name of Nathan
Golf, Jr., of West Virginia, who is now
serving his third term as United States
district attorney for that State, was sug-
gested. Secretary Evarts Immediately
autographed to Mr.. Golf, requesting his
presence in Washington by direction of
the President. Mr.. Golf came on, and
after an interview with the President, in
which the offer was made him to take
the head of the Navy Department, he ac-
cepted. His nomination was sent into
the Senate, and when the Senate went in
to executive session the nomination was
confirmed Immediately and unanimously
on the request of the two West Virginia
Senators, both of whom are his personal
friends, and have the highest regard for
him. He was sitting in the room OF the
Senate committee on appropriations, OF
which Senator Davis, OF West Virginia,
is chairman, in company with Judge
jackson, of the United States District
Court for West Virginia, when the Presl-
dents private secretary arrived at the
Capitol with his nomination, and recelv-
ed the warm congratulations OF Senator
Davis OH the fact. 1t is probable that the
new Secretary will be sworn in NJ once
and enter upon his duties promptly as
there is d large accumulation of business
waiting for his disposal. There seems to
be an impression that his prospects for
remaining in the cabinet under Gen.
Garfield are Very good. This impression
was quite general among Senators on the
floor, because of the interest taken in the
matter by Mr.. Blaine, who tacitlv admits
to his brother Senators that he Is to De
the premier of General Garfield's cabinet.
The new Secretary Ofthe Navy is native
of Clarksburg, w. Va, and, although on
~ forty years of age, has made his mark
III both war and politics He entered the
Union army as lieutenant in the third
Virginia infantry, and was mustered out
as Il brigadier-gencral. He served in the
campaigns in West Virginia with Presi-
dent Hayes, and made his acquaintance
a; that time. lie was at one time in Libby
prison, having been captured by the Con-
tcderatcs. He was the republican candi-
date for Congress in the first district OF
West Virginia, and subsequently repu0-
lican candidate for Governor of the State,
receiving in both contests very large
vote on account Of his personal popularl-
ty. He is cousin of cX-Reprtsentatiyc
Lloyd LowndeS, of Maryland. He ranks
high as man of character and ability,
and was described by Il West Virginia
democrat as the best Republican III the
