REBUKING A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

Alexander Hayes Justice of the Peace in Frank
liu Township New-Iersey. was arraigncd yesterday
before Judge McCarter. in the Court Of Common
Pleas at Newark for contempt OF Court. The Justice
is the owner of perverse cow which sometime ago
strayed into q cal bage patch belonging 10 Jacob
Gilman O market gardener involving it's owner in
two lawsuits. One of these Hayes appealed to the
COnrt of Common Pleas of Essex County, where the
Judgment of the petty court, which was against
him. was affirmed. Tie Franklin Justice of the
Peace became very much inOensed ut this action Of
the upper Court, and his feelings found vent in an
abusi,e and insulting letter which he sent TO Judge
McCarter. He was very much surprised and dis
concerted on last Tuesday, when officer Of the
court appeared in Franklin armed with bench
warrant for his arrest for contempt of Court. He
was staken before the Court at Newark on the same
day. and In default of $500 bail was committed to
Jail, where he remained until Thursday, leu
curity war offered.
Yesterday the franklin Justice and his counsel
appeared before the Court the former wearing
very contrite look After some words In extonna-
ton by the counsel Judge McCarter addressed to
the culprt some severe words OF reproOf. AT the
close OF his remarks the Judge announced that he
would not impose Judgment at present but that If
Hayes showed any further dlsrespect for the Court
he should send for him again. The Judge then
ordered that the costs should be paid by Hayes,
and that letter OF apology, which the latter had
written to the Court since his arrest, should be
printed in the newspapers. In the course Of his
marks the Judge said that HAYES had, az, Ordng to
the records Of the Conrt been once convicted of an
offence AGAINST the laws.

one fire, and then rush in on them, and
he looked up to Jenkins who nodded
approvingly.
In hurried whispers the plan of at
tack vas regulated, each having an In
dian assigned to his rife. During this
brief pause every heart trenlbsed, lest
the accidental cracking of twig, or
zone spoken unadvisedly above a whis
per, should attract the attention of the
sayages. Suddenly, before all was ar
ranged, one of them sprang to his feet,
and looked suspiciousiy in the direction
of the little party. AT the same instant,
another spraug towards the prisoners,
and with eyes fixed on tie thicket where
the pursuers lay, held the tomahawk
above the startled girl, as if to strike the
instant any demonstration of hostility
should appear.
The children chung to their sisters

was cricical. The proximity Of the pur-
suers was suspected, and that their dis
covery would Immediately result. To

fire premature might prove equally SO.
But Leper forgot every consideration IN
the peril of Mary, and, almost at the IN
slant when the occurrences we have re-
lated wera taking place, took aim at the
savage standing over his betrothed, ana
fred The Indian fell dead. lmmedI-
ately yell rang through the forest, The
sayages leaping to their arms, few
dashing toward the thlcket, others
rushed on the prisoners, and Others,
and tAese were the most sagaclous, re-
treating behind trees. But with that
whoop dozen rifles rang on the air,

ing through the thicket with upiItted
knives and tOmahawk, came TO the res
cue. A Wild hand 10 hand conflict en-
sued, in which nothing could be seen ex-
cept the figures of the comhatants roll
| ing together among the whirling leaves,
nothing heard but angry shouts, and
| the groans of the wounded and dying.
In few minutes the borderers We're
victorious.
Leper had been the first to enter the
| field. The instant he fired, iiinging
down his rifle, he leaped from his hid

thinking only of her safety. 1t was we'll

How shall we describe the gratitude

Catching and Boiling

The Hot Springs of the Yellowstone
Park consist of many pools Of boiling
water, which vary from forty feet in
length by twenty-five to about one tenth
that size. A bew4 dering scene presents
itself to the visitor. He sees tints as rich
and varied as the colors of the rainbow.
The wafer is mostly Of turquoise blue,
but so translucent that the most minute
fretting deep down upon the sides and
bottoms of the pools is plainly visible.
There is one place where the fisherman
can catch a trout in stream and with
out removing the fish from tine hook or
stirring from his tracks, cook it in a boil
ing spring Among the recent visitors
to the hot springs, there was a Boston
banker, who, having heard the story,
which was egarded as a "Munchausen"
by many, stole off. without saying a
word to any one. The result is told in
a correspondent of the New York Trib.
une:
4 couple of hours later he was seen to
approach the hotel painting ana Out Of
| breath, excitement depicted in every
line of his face
"Hello, Nj! what's the natter"
'I've got him! I've done it, Here he
is"
At the same time the ordinarily sedate
and composed-looking old gentleman
swings a tomatoe- can triumphantly
| above his head, and displays to the
group quickly gathered about him boil
| ed trout, about four inches in length, re-
posing peacefully at the bottom of the
| can.
1t is tasted by those present, every
body declaring that little salt is all that
is Necessary to render the fish palata-
BILE.
| As soon as the fact had been demon
strated, everybody with any pretence
of being a fisherman, fastened down to
the Gardiner River TO catch and cook
trout
This feat of catching trout and boiling
it without detaching 1t from the hook is
one which can be successfully performed
in different places within the park
Boiling springs are frequently met
with on the borders of streams, dis
charging their overflow into the fresh
water.
