1t Broke Her Down.

In one of the Justices courts the 9TH
er day farmer was defendant In case
of assault and battery. The plaintiff
had no witnesses, while the defendant
had his wife, and the plaintiffs law
yer made up his mind that it was a gone
case. He was bracing up, however, to
do his best, when the charge was read
to the defendant. The wife was deeply
interested in every phrase, and her face
changed from sober to serious, and
from serious to horror as the reading
went on: "el .. ...IeS aN-
"Did then and there and with malice
aforethought beat, wound, bruise, as
sault and greatly dam l;.i'.-5.

"My husband never did that in his lifei
1 was right there and saw it all. All he
did was to jump out of the wagon and
hit the man a clip on the eye and knock
him into the ditchi"
"That'n do-therei there!" put in
her husbands lawyer, but she went on:
"He just hit him once and only once,
and I'll swear to it"
Half an hour later, after her husband
had paid twelve dollars and costs, the
woman was heard to sigh:
"I'm sorry, John, but when they
went on with that beating and pound
ing and malice and aforethought I was
sure you'd get twenty years in prison
and it broke me down. You can sell
my cow this fall to make UP for this. ."-

A Cool Detective.

AS rule, highwaymen in the mining
States seldom operate upon stage
coech with ~. S. NJ" on it. They
know that these initials stand for the
United States Mail, and are a pledge
that the whole power of the Govern
ment will be used to capture them.
The detectives in the Government
service are quiet men, courteous in
manner and gentle in speech. Mr..
Hayes tells, in his book on New Col
orado, I" of one whom he met, who wore
gold spectacles, and looked like Ger
man professor. Yet this man alone
took two mail robbers from the North
to Texas At one place their friends
planned rescue He quietly informed
his prisoners that while their friends
could undoubtedly kill him, they might
be sure that the first motion would send
both of them into eternity. Not a man
in the crowd moved finger.
On one occasion, celebrated detect
i've was on stage which wa attacked
by two masked men. The first he knew
was that two revolvers were thrust in
the coach's windows, with the COM
mand, "Hands up, gentlemenr The
highwaymen "had the drop" on the
passengers, which, in their vocabulary,
meant the certainty of their being able
to kill before being harmed themselves.
To his disgust, the detective was COM
PEELED to give up his watch and money.
As the robbers left, he put his hand
down in the "boot," and to his delight
it touched carbine. Asking the driver
to 90 on a little farther, and then stop
and wait for him, he went back alone.
The two men, unsuspicious of danger,
were "divvying up" the spoils, in the
middle of the road. This was just what
the detective had calculated on.
"Now, you scoundrels, it's my turn"
he shouted, covering them by the re-
peating carbine. "Throw up your
hands, or I'll shoot"
The robbers, at his command, stepped
one side, holding up their hands, while
he picked up their revolvers. 1t was not
many minutes before the astonished
passengers saw the two highwaymen
meekly walking down the road, with
the cool detective following. They were
taken in the coach and finally lodged
in Jail. a.l- =.
The hero was General Charles Adams,
who subsequently, went alone among
the Utes and secured the release of the
women captiYes from the White River
Agency.

A Horse Attacked with Hydrophobia,

Two weeks ago mad dog ran through
che streets of Greenwich, Conn.,, and
after having bitten two horses fell dead
near q stream of water. The horses
that were bitten have been muzzled and
carefully watched. Yesterday one of
the horses showed unmistakble signs Of
hydrophobia. This horse was bitten in
the upper lip. He was put into box
stall and securely fastened. 1t has been
q question with some veterinary sur
geons as to whether horse could have
hydrophobia, and the ease was watched
with much interest. The horse was
taken in the morning, and gradually
grew worse, and in the afternoon be-
came very violent, tearing large pieces
of wood from his stall and biting him-
self, having all the symptoms Of mad
dog, only more terrible When the doc-
tors became fully satisfied that it was q
clear case of hydrophobia, he was or
dered shot by Justice Holmes. Tha
horse belonged to James Mallin.--Nead

not be overrated in their magnitude and

mands that our party ,ihk out Of sight all
personal preferences and preiudices, as

their standard bearers their ablcst, best,

half. dozen from whom two might be select

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

COuntg CoWt.-At the Monday session OF
this tribunal. presided over BY Judge Gre
gorv, Joe Bass, young cOlOred citizen, not
by a considerable majority one Oi "credit
and renOwn," was set to the bar, charged
with breaking into house and stealing
watch and small sum Of money. The in
dic'ment did not admit Of verdict for burg
larry, so the jury did the next best thing
possible in finding defendant guilty OF un
lawful entry, for which they directed the
application OF fifteen stripes, and guilty Of
stealing the watch and money, for which
thirtv.ninc stripes were awarded. After
effecting the felOui0us conversion Joe MIN
big made himself invisible to anxious inqui-
rers, but was caught in Richmond and re-
turned here with the above result.
Richard Smith (colOred) was also tried for
breaking into the barn OF Mr.. Sun Kell and
conveying thence some OF kell's goods and
chattel.. The case was contested with some
yigor by defendants lawyer, but Prosecu-
ting. Attorney Hancock proved equal to the
occasion, and a verdict Of thrty-nine lashes
was returned. Sentence was directly passed
and defendant taken back to Jail. Shortly
thereafter sundry unmusical CALCULATIONS
issuing from that locality indicated unmis-
takably to the initiated that judgment was
being executed.
