H. Wilder agt. Wm. | Welsh was called, and is on trial—Messre., | Mussey and Hale for plaintiff, and Mesvrs | Davidgeand Washington fordefendant. This is a sult for libel, in which the damages are laid At $100,000, which was instituted April 2d, 1874. The declaration in the case charges that the defendent, in a letter addressed to George H. Stuart, wrote falsely and mali- ciously of and concerning plaintiff, be being engaged in furnishing supplie: to the Indians ubder contracts ma Je with the United States; and that bis accounts at the time were pend- tng for settlement before the proper officers of the government. The alleged libelous letter is as follows:— “I have examined the vouchers that you sent me for my inspection as chairman of @ committee raised by the missionary board that nominated the agents whose vouchers are under consideration. That signed by Chas. P. Birkett, agent for the Ponca In- a is fraudulent, avd shoukl be sent to Department of Justice in Washington. It appears that Agent Birkett was induced to sign ®& voucher without filling up the prices, leaving that to the per- son with whom the Commissioner of Indian Affairs had privately bargained to furnish certain supphes. The prices were filled up by A. H. Wilder, and by bom presented for payment. Agent Birk- ¢tt certifies that be had purchaset in open market those articles according to personal directions of the Honorable Commissioner of indian Affairs. This Is untrae, as was known by the Indian agent and AH. Wilder,and the Commissioner of Indian A tfairs knows that the articles were not purchased by AgentBirk- ett, abd that he cid not affix the prices. The agent did not certify the quality or the vaine of the articles. If parties procuring or pre- senting such a fraudulent voucher are not immediately prosecuted it will be impossi- ble to protect the Indian service from the trends that so long have been connected with it.” The plaintiff sets forth that he is a good, trne, hovest citizen of Minnesota, and by means of these grievances has suffered greatly in bis good name.

All of which he dos In so Ingenious a manner that he might have stood for Pope’s sketch tn the Dunciad.— New York Cor. Cincinnati Gazett RIVER PIRATES.—A gang of river thieves have lately been committing depreda- lions in New York harbor almost nizotly, and it would seem with perfect impunity. The latest outrage was perpetrated early Saturday morning, when a gang of twelve thieves, after robbing an unknown schor boarded the schooner Highlander, Capt Wood, lying at anchor on the Jersey fi near Communipaw ferry. Taking the lan- tern from the rigging six of them entered the eabin where was Captain Wood and his iwo boys, and, with pistols pointed at their | heads, demanded their money and valuables. In the prosecution of the robbery they used great violence, repeatedly striking the cap- tain and the boys, and smashing the farni- lure of the cabin, and on retiring, fired on the captain, the buliet striking him in the mouth, carrying away part of bis lips and shattering bis teeth. Complaint has been made to the police authorities. BERTHA MEYER'S DISAPPEARANCE.—A young girl named Bertha Meyer, who resided with her parents on 3d street, Jersey City, | went to Newport two months ago to reside with a family named M reason for her departure and annoying attention of aman whose com- pany she did not reciprocate. Two weeks ago she left Newport for her home and was put safely oa the train by ner fric . The parents have not seen hersinse, alt ough they remained up ali that night and maie inquiries at the depot. Not the slightest clew to her whereabouts has been found.— LN. ¥. Herald, 26 ICE IN CoNNECTICU of Thursday says: + The chief ‘The Hartford Times here is now a fair | prospect of an abundance of ice for the nex! season. The Cove Company has Filled tts houses with good clear ice gathered from the Wethersfield Cove. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Raliroad company lia< filled its houses from Windsor Locks. The Hartford Company has done nothing yet: What it has cut has been used for dally sup- lies. The new company expects to fill its houses. Excellent ice can be had in West ete Where it is from nine to ten inches thick." BALD MounTAIN.—A person just from Baid Mountain reports that on Sanday last there was a renewal of the rumbling which was heard in the mountain about eighteen mouths ago. The rumbling noise was very distinetly heard, and created considerable apprehension in the minds of the peopje liy- ing in_ the immediate vicinity of the moun- tain. It is said that the religion which Old peer up, there year oozed out, and that they have pretty generally returned to cuss- ing.—{ Barnwell (S.C) Sentinel, 18th. a2 New Orleans is full of strangers to at- lend the state fair.
