Wronn eaid it was not for sorvices, but i probably a lonn without sccurity, and for an Indeflnito - timo, Tho nttorney for tho potitionng creditor wished to “mecortain if ‘hln was tho way in_ which the Compnany's monoy was used, and tho ox- amination on this point cocupied menrly mn.

Ono of the most amusing chaptors of domestle troubles ever recited in court was told yesterday Dy & bill filed in the Cireuit Court by Gottlich Kolitzow against Ludwig Pfoff, Chiristinn nout- zow, Sophin Kolltzow, and Charles Draudorl. Gottlicb premisos his atory by stating that ho is now nbout 00 yoars of age, bus heen married for many years, and has soveral childron who may bo called olive plants, and others who more vonrly resemblo brambles. 1n 1870 ho bought of John Brown the T. £ of tho 8. L. )¢ of Sac, 35, 39, 12, boing 80 acres, in the Town of Lyons, for £3,500. About this timo A UERIZS OF FAMILY TROUDLES aroso, eaused principslly by tho unchristianlike conduct of one of his sons, Christinn Kolltzow, On one oceasion Chriatian asssulted the com- plainant, and gave him & most unpalatablo lunch off n balf dozen of his own teoth, which ho Lnocked down the old gentleman's throat, At auotlor time, on the accasion of tho marringo of complainant’s daughtor, Christian raised a dis- turbance, and Gottlieb escaped from bim, and wont aftor tho cows. Christlan followed on a Lorse, and, finding his father, ATTEMPTED TO RIDE OVER 1IN, snd would probnbly havo suceceded had not Carl Pfofr interfored. Christian at another timo enme to the city with a lond of hey. IMis mothor and tho hircd man followed, and tho three, meoting, enjoyed ugrand drunk, Thoy roturiied home at night, und to savo themsolves tho trouble of putting tho horso up, attompted to cut its throat and Tiwve done with it. Shortly nfter, Clristinn got drunk, snd drove complainnnt away from lomeo for two week, ; A few days aftor his roturn, ns ho was ongaged in privuts dovotion, Lis wife discovored bim, und enlled tho attontion of tho hired man to tho fact, uaying that TIEQ TUSBAND WAS CRAZY. e remonstrated with her, whoroupon she soized o stick of wood and nttempted to strike him, Bhealso charged him with stoaling snu- sages, and declared sho was not satisfied with him, having probably just discovercd the fact after twonty-fivo yeura of married lifo, and, ag the poor old mau sadly remarks, showed sub- stantinlly and conclusively herpreference for tho hired man, ‘Whilo dooply affected at the proforance shown bf his faithless spouse for the hired mnan, com- Y ninant was thrown into new trouble by Ludwig >foff, who approached him, and, aftor making sundry vory approprinte romarks on the y UNCERTAINTY OF NUMAN LIFE in general, and complainant’s in particular, ad- visod Gottlieb to make his will. The old'mnn, in viow of his pecalinr circumstances, fully con- ceurred in the advice, and, uudor the kind care of hiss son Christian, drew up & will, giving to that young man the whole farm, with tho reservation that in should pay ouo of his slstors, Bophia, $2,000, The old lady, wishing to make evident tho truth of Pfoft's observations on human hifo, ono day found & protext for o fresh quarrel with complainunt, and knocked Lim down with A LARGE CALE'S DONE, Pfoff thon took the poorcld mun away, and brought hiw to the city, promislng him that he should bo revenged on his wifo and son. The wont to the Inw-olice of Charles Draudorlt, auc thero Gottliob signed what ho aupponcd WaH & bapor which would keop Christlan from troub- l:ng him in futuro, butwhich has sinco proved to ) A TRUST-DLED, ‘This deod convoyed tho farm to Ludwlf Ploft, to hold in trust for Chrlstian, who wau to onjoy tho profits of It, and support -bis futher and niothor, or, if thoy left lum, to puy thom 100 u yoar. In default of this, tha property was to royert to the grantor, Complalnent seys that he s almost ontiroly Jguorant of the Eoglish language, and relfed on Y'foff to toll him the charactor of tho paper ho pignod. Ho has sinco beon drivon from his home by his \m;;rmoml son, aud §s now depoudent on charity.

Mr, Follansheo hnd suic- cumbed to” bia lossos which are estimated, ovor aud abovo his profits and capital, to bo about §25,000. This sum onl{ partially ndiontes tho oxtent of his trados, 1f {8 enid that o ho sold short 1,600,000 bushels of corn and about 800,000 Dushols of *wheat, but, as this juvolved all surts of countor_truding, 1 tho sbsanco of his books koopor aud_himsell from tholr oftico, it was im- ousiblo to lonrn the oxact condltion of his doals, nquiry among tho mombors of tho Bonard roe voals the fact that thero is scarcaly a firm but mot with somo loss by tho failure. Most of thoyo were in amounts ranging from $100 to 500, Among the priucipal losers aro tho* follawlng : 0, " Follansboo & Bon, overdraft nbout $8,000; J.

Wwo vacant housos on Indinna avonuo and ono on Prairio avenuo have boon en- torod lately, and ail the load-pipo that could bo got at ent out, and I saw the window open in ono of tho vacant houses near Tiwenty-fourth stroob on Indians avonue this morming, and have no doubt the pipes wero cut ont of that houso somotime yostorday or this morning, If overy noigiborhood bas sufforod as much ne ours, it | will bo safo to sny that two-thirds of all the | vacant housoes in Chicngo that have beon vacant sinco tho 1st of lnst March hnve had tho got-nt- ablo load pipes, stop-cooks, and gas fixtures, if thoro laj munod to bo any, cut out of them, near as 1 can _calqulato, t\m out of every five Lionsea on Indiany, Cottago Grove, and I'rairie avonues, from Twenty-socond strost south to Twonty.sixth streot, havo' boon ontered by burglets or load-pipe thioves 8inco lnst fall. I am only porsoually acquninted with the nolgh- Dorhood aboye dosignated, but tako it for grant- cd that other noighborhoods bave suffered In lko mannor. I woukl adviso landlords and house ngents wlio havo vyacant houses to visit them immedintely, if for no other purposo than to cloge the houses up, aud turn tho water off, for sometimes tho water is left running, aud will do ‘x;mun dawmago. They will bo strongly tompted to swonr, and if thoy do not bolong to the mamo church that I do, they hnd bottor bire somobody beforo they start to go aloug with thom, and pwenr for thom. A cortain Motbodist Dencon who owns & houso ou Indiana avouue hoar Twonty-fourth streot, is uadoubtodly nob yot aware of tho fact that tho pipes aro ull cut out of his house and somo of tho plastor knockod off, and gas fixturcs out off with n hatchet. Ho will roquira an extra amount of Christian forti- tudo and patienco whon he hoara of it. You appeal to the Bnficriulendunt, any Sor- cant, or policeman, and they will probably in- form you, a8 some’ of them haye informed mo, that it is impossiblo to get any track of tho lead- pipo thioves, and that wo must cmploy o mon to watch tho houso. If tho city will deduct for onr taxes tho amount required to pay tho polico, wo ean afford to employ & man to watch the honso. Tho patienco with which houscholdors in Chi- cogo submit to being robbed is absolutely sublime, They nover think now-n-days of in- forming tho polico, aud asking their assistanco, but they advertiso for the stolon property, and most always succoed in recovering it, The ndvortisements—yon can seo thom overy - dny—tend somathing ko this : “Lost—If ~ tho party who took [plesso notice tho word ‘took;' they do not wish to offond the gontlomen by eaving ‘steal’] the articles from No, — on streob will return the articles, a liberal roward will bo paid and no quostions asked.” Sovernl of my ueighbors \vhxsu houses Liave boon robbod have advortised and recovored LLOIL Propeity, In the amabior of silver-spoons and such common articles, $10 and 60 cents for the advortisoment will gonerally do it. Ifany reador of this lms lost anything through burglars within a woek or two, aud il communteate with me, I will tako plonuuro in initinting them in the modus oporaudi by which we on Indiaua and Prairie avenues racover stolen property. My advise is: Don’t go to the station or puy policeman, becauso you will only wasto your timo and mouey. Tho chonpest, surest, and quickest way is to” advortise. Respectrully, Joux C. Loxa, 1121 Prairic aveuuo. On1oano, June 11, 1674, e ORIMINAL, THE CRIMINAL COURT. Lho Grand Jury wero discharged.
