but fortunately such was not the case. The
little fellow bore his injury manfully, and il
Is likely he will soon be all right again. Such
an accident Is inexcusable, as ordinary care
and caution would render it i'm possible
Some time since Chas.w. Sweet was ar
rested on complaint of his wife, charged with
adultery. He was taken before Justice Nor
timer of Hartford, where he waived his ex-
animation and was committed for trial. Sub
sequently he procured bail, with Wm. Web
ster of Lawrence, and ex-She riff Showerman
as bondsmen. On Friday last, Mr.. Webster
made application to Justice Rowland to sur
render Mr.. Sweet, alleging that he had alb.
seconded. A warrant and mittimus was issued
and Mr.. s. being found in Ludington, was
arrested on a telegram from Sheriff Van
Auken, who has gone to that place after his
prisoner
A postal card was received 1t post Office

but the court refused to allow it. He then
moved to discharge the prisoners, on account
of defective papers. Counsel for respond
ents contended the papers were valid, and
the prosecution, that they were not. This
was reversing the usual order of things. We
never before heard of the prisoners counsel
trying to sustain the prosecution, against the
desire of the prosecuting officer. The mag
istrate granted the motion and discharged
the accused parties, four of whom were i'm
mediately rearrested, brought to this place, and
arraigned before Justice Warner, where they
plead guilty, were fined $40 each and COSTS
which they paid and returned home the next
morning. l.. j. Brown, the landlord of the
Pacific House, was not rearrested, because
Mr.. Chandler thought the complaint and
warrant issued by Mr.. Warner were imper-

The following facts were communicated to
us by member of the Board of Supt's of
the Poor.
Some time since Mr. Thos. Threadgould
sent to England for his sister, promising, so
the lady says, to care for her If she would
come to this country. The sister, who is a
bedridden invalid, suffering from hip dis
ease, came as requested, when instead of car
ing for her according to his promise, and as
common humanity, to say nothing of the ties
OF blood, should have prompted him, he
placed her in an old house, which the lady,
and the neighbors say, leaks like a sieve, and
neglected TO furnish her with the common
est necessaries of life. About month since
she applied TO the county for assistance. One
of the Supt's of the poor visited her and
found her in destitute condition and steps
have been taken TO remove her and make her
more comfortable. Mr.. Threadgouldis is abund
antly able to provide for her, but instead Of
doing SO, he even forbids the removal of the
poor furniture he has placed in the old shanty,
and the authorities will procure new furni-
ture for her use. The Supt's intend TO try
and compel Mr.. Threadgould to pay all ex
penses.
