THE COUETS.
District Court.
SPECIAL TERN.
before Judge Wilkin. !

The state of Minnesota ex rel
David Cavau, against J. G. Riheldeffer
superintendent of tho Minnesota State
Reform school.
The only authority by which the relate.
the Judgment of the justice of peace by
and the approval thereof by the Judge of
the district court for the county in which
the conviction was had. That judgment
is as follows:
''Thereupon the court found that the
defendant was guilty of the charge con-
tanned in the complaint; and thereupon
ant, David Cavau, stand committed to the
Minnesota State Reform school for the
term of sixty days, or until he shall be
discharged by law or by the rule of the
board of managers of said school,"
The approval by the district Judge is in
the following terms: 81 hereby certify
that I have examined the above record,
and find the proceedings regular and the
evidence sufficient to warrant the Justice in
his judgment, and hereby approve the
same"
The commitment was made on the I'd Of
October last, and consequently the sixty
days had elapsed when the petition in this
matter was presented. It is claimed, how
ever, upon the part of the respondent that
under the provisions of the act establish
ing the State Reform school, the board of
managers are entitled to the care AID
guardianship of all infants committed to
their charge during their minority; that
the judgment of the court in this case
should have been given accordingly, and
that under the alternative clauses in the
Judgment and commitment and the pro-
visions of the said act, they are authorized
to retain the custody of the relator during
the minority.
Whether or not justice of the peace has
the authority to commit an infant to the
State Reform school during his minority
is question which it is not
necessary in this case to determine. The
fact here Is that the justice has made no
such commitment, and it is only upon the
Judgment of court of competent iuris-
diction that a minor accused of criminal
offense can be committed to the Reform
school. A judgment and commitment for
sixty days is no warrant for imprisoning q
defendent for nine years. The case is not
helped in my judgment by the addition of
the alternative clauses in the judgment.
These clauses are too indefinite and IN
certain to justify the imprisonment of the
| relator beyond the sixty days. The rela-
tor should be discharged from the custody
| in which he is held, and as the petitioner
has produced proof of his authority to act
for the parents of the relator he may be
| committed to his charge.

7 CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Building the past
gear in the city was never exceeded except
except in 1872, the year succeeding the
great fire. Even then the amount of re
building was only twice az great as the
past year, and the amoant of ground COW
cred by structures was less than twice as
great. There were $3.50 building permits
issued. The frontage of new structures,
lineal measure, is fourteen miles,. The
total cost of buildings erected on permits
81, 100000. The total is probably 10000,
900. Suburban towns show equal growth
and building prosperity The character of
the edifices is generally improved.

DR.. Thomas to BishoD Ireland.

To the Editor of the Globe:
am very sorry to see that Bishop Ire
land in his communication of Sunday
morning has SO far lost his polemic bal
ance as to resort to personalities. A sheer
is not an argument.
If our controversy can be conducted
without dragging it down into the Maud, I
shall be happy to continue it, for be-
ieve a well-tempered controversy is a
great educator.
I shall reply to Bishop Ireland at my
artist convenience, in lecture from my
own pulpit, entitled @The Apocrapha," in
in which will give him the history of the
phrase deutero-canonical.
AS Bishop Ireland has admitted that
Nthe vulgate may be revised and as he
agrees with Cardinal Manning, who says
that this revision may extend to all mis-
takes of "translation and Transcription" a
very broad field indeed!- quite enough to
cover all for which ! have contended, it
will not be necessary, unless the Bishop
takes some new position, to examine the
tsrt of the Latin vulgate. E. S. THOMAS.

bed Of the Kansas City railroad, have
prevented the usual volume of water
from finding its old outlets through
the numerous bayous adjacent to the
river below, and it is therefore forced
into the lake in front Of the town. If
the river rises few inches more, the
residents of Marion will be able to
visit each other only in dugouts or
skitfs. 1t is already encroaching upon
the limits Of the town. The trip
to Marion on the ferryboat is an
interesting and romantic one, to those
who may wish to view wild waste of
waters which has overfowed its natural
banks and hidden from view farms
that in the summer are situated several
miles from the river. The Mound
City landing is nearly five miles from
the city and the route from Mound
City to Marion, five miles farther on,
is by water way through the willows
cleared out by the proprietors of the
ferryboat. When the riveris low the
channel is perfectly dry where the wa

hours to make the round trip Of

AFALLEN MOUNTAIN.
One of the TalIest Peaks in East
Tennessee Tumbles Over the
Result of the Rains.

Knoxville Chronicle,
JoHNsoN CRY, January 26, 1882.
Mr.. EDIToR:-About five miles
southeast Of this place abruptly ends
what it is called Buffalo Mountain, a
long range running north and south.
At this terminus has stood Tor ages
one of the most gigantic peaks Of
White Rock, elevated several hundred
feet above the surrounding country,
and being Of a perfect white color, has
been long known as the White
Rock" OF the size of this
rock it is useless to speak, other than
saying it is mountain high and noun
tain large. Thousands OF visitors to
"Roan Mountain" seine distance be-
yond, have had time to stand on this
emiDence and view the Landscape
Ger" This sublime cliff is no more.
This morning at s O'Clock, the sur
rounding citizens were Mortified with a
terrible crash and roaring in that di-
rection. On casting the eye to lofty
White Rock, she was no more tower
ing in her majesty to the sky. She
had fallen, and with her carried as it
seemed the whole end Of the noun
tain; trees, rock and logs mingle at its
base in one common mass Of ruined
grandeur.
The neighbcrhood around the
mountain became dreadfully alarmed,
fleeing in every direction, hallowing
and praying to be delivered from the
rocks and mountains falling upon
them. AS l write, citizens arrive from
the scene, which they report as beyond
description.
1t is supposed this strange occur
renee is due to the excessive rains we
! have had in this part Of the State for
the past thirty days. Il.

RAIDING THE DENs.
The Nightly Rounds Made by the
Police.

The police are enjoying themselves
just now making nightly raids on the
various dens about the city. The
docket yesterday morning was the
largest in years. forty-six names ap.
pearing upon it. Nearly half Of the
number were charged with vagrancy.
A great many of the lower. class Of
saloons have back room where fire
is kept all night long, and which is
usually full of loungers. In this room
table is kept where the beautiful
game of craps" is played from dark
until daylight, drinks being furnished
from the saloon part, separated by
only thin partition. Three of these
places were raided Sunday night At
one on DeSoto street FIVE we're picked
from tie lot, and the proprietor was
also arrested. At another place, near
the Charleston depot, the game was
found Aourishing, and another half
dozen gilled in the net. The proprio-
tor was fined $40 for keeping his place
open on Sunday. On the corner Of
Auction and Third streets Sergeant
Kunholz and corps of officers heard
fearful noise in a saloon and found
the door locked. When they
knocked for admittance, a break
was made out of the back way by the
crowd. As the building sits over the
bayou precaution was required to keep
out oft. One or two missed their
footing and fell into the water, from
which they we're fshed out by the
officers. Another was found under a
bed, aud one big six footer was discov-
cred perched on the roof Of a back
shed. He attempted to scale the back
fence but it broke down with him,
and he mounted to the roof, The
proprietor, Joe Mccullough, was fined
ten dollars; Mount Williams and Scott
Matthews two dollars each.

Treasure in a Tree.

american Oleaner.I
In Newlin's Township, North Caro-
lima, about ten days ago, Joe Woody
contracted with colored man,
Ephraim Aston, to have some rails
split. Near a schoolhouse Woody had
allowed the pupils to cut tree and
use the top for firewood. Ephraim
went to work upon the but-cut of this
tree, splitting it into rails. When il
had been quartered, the next thing was
to heart each section, as practical rail
Splitters understand. In doing the latter
act he struck regular bonanza, and
twenty-six pieces of glittering gold
coin fell out, worth $40 or more each.
These coins were concealed in an inch
and quarter auger hole, over which
the tree had grown in thickness about
four inches. On the outside no traces
Of the hole could be seen. From the
growth of the tree since the boring Of
the hole it is supposed that the coins
we're put there not later than 1872. In
diameter the tree was about two feet,
and it is not likely that the concealinQ
dates as far back as revolutionary
times.

MIR. Henry Bergb ON Vaccine ion.

ht, Louis NeWs.I
One of the strangest public charac-
tiers in the United States is Henry
Bergh, the New York humanitarian.
A man of wealth ald of leisure, he
many years ago devoted his time to
the establishment of society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals, and
did good and much needed work.
Having, however, no other business
with which to fill his mind, he became
noted for all kinds of eccentric actions
more or less connected with his spe-
cialty, and, at last, mixed up with
certain sham moral reformers, who
have made use of his respectable name
and position to foist themselves and
their ideas upon the public. Such
were the people who prosecuted a
harmless shOp-keeper for having, in
his window, the Entry of Charles
Fifth into Antwerp a copy OF which
now hangs in our Mercantile Library
and the emily possible objection to
which is somewhat slightly draped
female figure. He was also concerned
in the prosecution of a we'll known
bookseller for having, under lock and
key, some old engravings Mr. Bergh
gradually became, in fact, a much
respected nuisance. He has now
mounted new hobby. He strongly
objects to vaccination, not on account
of the cruelty of giving the heller the
disease, but because he disagrees with
the whole medical profession, auC
thinks vaccination does The
human subject more harm
than good. He has lately appeared
in print, and, as he is nothing if not
extreme, states that 1.-THE human race
is gradually rotting away by reason O
this deadly practice" Facts certainl!
seem to be against the distinguished
humanitarian. We have, it is true
diseases not known to the antique
world, but that we are much worse oil
than were our iorefathers we doubt
Three-score years and ten was nance
as a limit of life many centuries ago
and, if we take any period durini
which statistics have been kept, life il
longer now than formerly Sucl
things as facts are of little conse
quence to the enthusiast, and in thl
face of the figures Mr.. Bergh states
I'm the period of less than one hun
bred years that has elapsed since th
introduction of this practice, million
upon millions Of sound and health
human beings have been inoculate,
with the most loathsome pestilencC
doomed to carry to the grave bodie
wasted by consumption, or MARIE
and deformed by scrofula, cancer an
innumerable other ills. What
worse, they have transmitted thes
diseases to posterity."
The article is strongly written, anC
J if not conclusive as to vaccination be
ing the cause of the i'll, it makes on
that the human race is dreadful
afflicted with disease. We think th
doctors will, while agreeing with Nj
J Bergh as to the state of disease, civ
, other reasons for their introductiO
/ and continuance. To the ordinsI
{ layman these causes seem not difhch
, Of explanation, but We await formt
. answer prom the profession.
