ALLEGED
EMBEZZLEMEnT
Robert II. Hill OF The Mu-
tnaI Aid Union Ar
rested.

Robert II. Hill. colorcd, has been
arrested on the charge of enbezzle-
ment under false prctenscs. The
Mutual Aid Urion Beneficial Asso-
citation is prosecuting Hill and he
will be given hearing this after
noon before Magistrate Pritchett.
The Union alleges that Hill COL
lected money from colored people
and that he failed to make returns.
The directorsgo further and charge
that he formed 4 new association
and told the colored people that it
was all the same. All of these al
legations are denied by Hill. The
latter is known as the sbest insur-
ance solicitor in Delaware among
the colored people. 1t is claimed
on the part OF the prosecution that
Hill severed his connection with the
Mutual Aid Union Beneficial Asso-
citation. Then it is alleged that he
and some others formed the "Roval
Aid Union Beneficial Association. "
The bylaws are alleged to be the
same as those OF the other associa-
ton. The prosecution claims that
as the names OF the associations
were similar and as Hill had high
standing among the colored people
he could readily convince the peo-
pie that the associations were the
same.
Peter L. Cooper, Deputy-Attor
ney General, will prosecute the case
and Hoffecker and Hoffecker and
Wales will defend Hill.

A scholar on coming into parlor

of grapes for his own eating took it up
and said:
II publish the banns between these
grapes and my mouth. If any one knows
any just cause or impeachment why these
two should not be joined together, let
them declare it,
The doctor. being but in the next room,
overheard all that was said, and, coming
into the school, ordered the boy who had
eaten his grapes to be taken up, or, as
they called ii, horscd on another boys
back. But before he proceeded to the
usual discipline he cried out aloud, as
the delinquent had done:

II forbid the banns." cried the boy.
