In Bull vs, Flagler (23 Wen., 354), which was an action of trespass for killing a dog, it was held that, though under proper circumstances, the killing of a dog Was justifiable, a needless or wanton destraction of the animal, even to prevent an acknowledged mischief, would be unjustifiable. It was also held that the opinior the nature of a dog, for whose dest Drought, admissible in evidence. In Danlap vs. Snyder (17 Barb. 8. C.

San Francisco, August 15, 1859. Rumors of War from Puget Sound—Deopatches for the cat and Other Items, de., de. A despatch was received in this city last night from Yreka, aunouncing the arrival of a man named Bennett at that place, from Portland, Oregon, with despatches from Gen. Harney to Gen, Clarke, commanding the Call- fornia Department, A rumor was current at Portland that the English war steamer Satellite had fired shot and shell on the island of San Juan, killing thirty Americans. ‘Tho only foundation for the report appéars to be a rumor prevalent at Portland when the courier left; but when dates and other circumstances are considered, itddoes not seem at all probable, At last dates Gen, Harney was mo- mentarily expected at San Juan, and had been for some time in the neighborhood of Puget Sound. We haye Vic- toria papers of the 8th inst.,and the Northerner, now in this port, left that place one day later, when every- thing was quiet. It is but two hours’ sail from the island, and intelligence would have been at once conveyed to the authorities at Vancouver's Island if such an event had occurred. The messenger arrived yesterday at Yreka, and it would occupy at least four or five days ences of debt, and, with the exception of real estate, verything in which one can haye a valuable interest, in? tancing, among other things, a dog. Im sec. 638 it is aid, “aman bas such ap ownership ina dog, a cat or ny wild animal which he has acquired a property in by ossession, that he may recover dimages for any injury eit.’ From these authorities I conclude that if an ac- ‘on can be brought to repossess one of a dog, of which ho as been unlawfully deprived, or if, in case the dog has een killed, an action can be brought to recover its value, ‘nd if, on the trial, its value is matter of proof, as that of ny other admitted item of property, even though iu cer- in extreme cases the dog may legally forfeit its nee to a stranger against the will of its owner, ne ‘theless, that there are suilicient of the characteristics or attributes of property about it to make it a t of pro tection within the statute defining grand larceny, In the People vs. Maloney , 1 Parker's crim, cas. 593, it was held, for the purposes cf'a writ of habeas corpus, that a dog was the subject of larceny. It is provided by stat RS 5th ed. 974, sec. 1,) that a tax upon dogs shall be annua: Jevied and collected in all the counties of this State exce the county ef New York, and the statute fix tax, and the mode in which ollected. it is also provided person may k shall see “chasing, worrying or wounding any. s unless it is done by’ the direction of the owner of the sheep, or his servant. It is also provided that a Justice of the Peace may order the Killing of any dog that shall attack a traveller on the highway, or a horse attached to a carriage, or upon which any person shall be mounted; and that any person in pos: session of a dog, or who shall suffer it to remain about his house for the space of twenty days previous to the assessment of a tax, or to any injury (as specified) done by the dog, shall be deemed its owner for all the purposes of the statute. The statute also imposes penalties where the owner refuses to killa dog when legally directed or ordered to do so. 1 think these statutes demonstrate that the Legislature meant to treat dogs as property, protecting and controlling them, so far as the public good or safety permits or justifies. Inthe year 1857 a law was passed in this State pro- ‘viding for the “incorporation of associations for improving the breed of domestic animals.”” It declares that any corporation formed under it shall have power to raise, import, purchase, keep, breed and sell all kinds of do- mestic animals. Why, are not dogs within the purview of this statute? Aldiough not ranked among domestic animals in the time of or by Lord Hale, yet the estima- tion in which they have been since held by society shows that they are no longer considered to be 80 base a8 not, on that account, at t, to be the subject of larceny. If by domestic is meant “belonging to the house,” who can deny this attribute to the dog? What animal more domestic? What one appr s a home shows stronger attachments to it, or if it from it, is more certain to return to it? In some of its species it Serves asa pet or a companion. In others, it assists and takes part in manly sports and recreations. In others, again, it is the faithfulcustodian and guardian of property. In none, it may be said, is it entirely di- vested of usefulness. When the benefits it confers are reflected upon, why is there not a perfect propriety in im- proving the breed of such an animal? If it comes within the description of domestic animals under this act of 1857, it is certainly property, the subject of larceny. If the indictment in the present case should show that the dog in question was “reclaimed and made tame and domestic,’ and that the defendant, with a knowledge of this, stole the dog, which would seem to have been neces- sary atthe common law in reference to animals fere natura (2 East P. C. 607), it cannot be sustained in its. present form. Under the view I entertain this is not necessary. The indictment shows that the dog was the property of the prosecutor, that it had a cortain value, and tbat it was feloniously taken from his possession. ‘Whatever elso inust be proved on the trial can be proved under these averments. If the Court receives evidence it should not, ander the indictment as drawn, the defendant can have his remedy by Dili of exceptions, My judgment is that the indictment is good as one for grand larceny, and judgment must be rendered for tho People on the demurrer, with tiberty to the defendant to Plead to the indictment.- TRIALS FOR LARCENIES. Willinm Fitzmaurice was charged with obtaining money under false pretences from George W. Brown, but the cvidence was insufficient to substantiate the charge, and he was acquitted. é Joseph Leshet, and Ernst Chanletz alias Coley, indicted ‘or stealing $29 from Leopold Vornallenbruck, 504 Green- wich street, pleaded guilty of petit larceny. They were «ach sent to the Penitentiary for three months. Michael Sheenan, who stole a watch worth $15 from Mary Brady, pleaded guilty to petit larceny, and was sent to the City prison for sixty days. Michael Smith and Jones Atley, charged with stealing a coat, worth $26, from Alpheus D. Kirk, pleaded guilty to petit larceny. Mary Callahan, who purloined $110 worth of property from Sophia Loewenthal, 188 West Seventeenth stree pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny. Her: dollar from Alexander King, pleaded guilty to the charge. Anthony Witz, indicted for stealing, on the 7th of June, a gold watch and chain worth $60, the property of Frede- rick Rohrschneider, pleaded guilty to the offence. All the above prisoners were remanded for sentence. Edward Barnes was tried for an alleged larceny of $36, but the evidence was very unreliable, and the jury ren. dered a verdict of not guilty. The foreman stated that ten of the jurors were unanimous in their opinion, but that the other two jurors—one of whom was a German, and could not understand the evidence, and the other so deaf that he could not hear the testimony—were unable togive an opinion. The District Attorney consented to receive the verdict of the ten, and the Judge reprimanded the two jurors for sitting on the case, observing that if that had been an important case the consequences would haye been serious. Supreme Court—Special Term, Before Hon. Judge Davies. IMPORTANT MOTION—FOREIGN CORPORATIONS MUST GIVE SECURITY FOR COSTS—QUESTION OF PRAC- TICE. Surr. $.—The Tyrone and Lockhaven Railroad Com- pany ve. Allen Schenck.—The order to show cause why this case should not be dismissed, on the ground that the Plaintiff is a foreign corporation, and has commenced this Suit without having filed the usual bonds with the Clerk of the county, and why the defendant should not be dis- charged from custody, was returnable this morning. Mr. Sherwood, counsel for the plaintiffs, read some afli davits as to the usual practice in cases of foreign corpora tions, to the effect that several foreign insurance and other companics had brought suits in New York without ling bonds or security for costs. Counsel on the part of the defendant then proceeded with his argument, and at grea@length proceeded to show that it was incumbent upon all foreign corporation security for costs before bringing suit. He also cont that tho cootract made between the defendant and ¢ Plaintifls was illegal, and that the proceed! should be discharged. The following were his points :—* The plain tiffs at the time of the granting of the order of arrest, and ‘fat the time of the arrest of the defendant, had no standing in court, and the order for arrest is for that reason void. ‘The contract made between the plaintiffs and defendant was illegal, and will not be enforced by the courts of this State. The defendant has not waived his right to make this motion b; ring in the action. A waiver of a ification of an act, must be with the ‘The learned counsel com contract whic nek), an y af right, like the r: knowledge of all the facts.”* mented rather severely on th pany made with the defendant (¢ asked if it was possible that the Tyrone and Lockhaven Railroad Company would be perinitted to sustain a wild car? bank in Georgia, which had no capital, as had be« Judge Davies—Where was that contract made?

Had General Harney deemed it necessary to commuuicate with General Clarke in this emergency, he would have transmitted his despatches by the United States steamer Active, or Shubrick, or Massachusetts, which vessels were at San Juan at last accounts. Either of them could run down to San Francisco in less than four days. It is probablo the despatches are for Washington, and entrusted to the care of General Clarke, to be forwarded by the steamer of the 20th inst. for Panama. Americans who ar- rived here from Victoria last week state that Admiral Baines had countermanded the belligerent orders issued by Governor Douglass, and had sent to England for instruc- tions. He is of the opinion, they also say, that the island belongs to the United States, and several of the English topographical engineers coincide with him in his views. It is not likely, therefore, that anything could have occurred in a day of two to precipitate hostilities. The steamship Golden Gate, from Panama, arrived here ‘on the 13th inst., and the Cortes, from the same place, on the Lith. These yessels brought up the passengers who left New York July 20, Richard H. Dana, the well known author of “Two Years Before the Mast,’ after an absence of twenty-three arrived in this city on the Golden Gate.

The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph has been completed to San Juan, Monterey county. On the 12th inst., the first message came through to this city. It is to be pushed forward immediately to Monterey, and from thence to Los Angeles. } Mr. Edward Conner, U. Consul at Mazatlan, arrived here on the Santa Cruz a few days ago. Lieut. Sylvester Mowry, delegate clect to Congress from Arizona, is also in this city. Both are en route for Washington. The French and Italian residents of San Francisco, de- sirous to celebrate the late victories obtained by their countrymen over the Austrians, applied to the pastor of the French Catholic church to sing a Ze Deum, who refer- red the matter to the Archbishop. The latter refused per- mission, and the religious service will not therefore take place. r ‘The steamer Santa Croz brought on freight from Mazat- lan $50,861 in Mexican dollars. Samuel Guttman has been discharged from his debts in the Fourth District Court. ‘A meeting of Germans took place in this city on Satur- day evening, to take into consideration means of abatin the grievance of German girls attending dance cellars an acting as itinerant musicians. It was the largest and most earnest assemblage of Germans that ever convened in this cit; A custom has grown up of importing large numbers of young girls from Germany, who are hired out to the keeper's of low drinking saloons, and in this way attract sailors and others to their establishments. Acom- mittee as appointed for the purpose of preventing and abating the further continuance of the pernicious custom, The consuls of the Germanic Confederation were invited to correspond with the respective Powers which they re- present. It was resolved that all Germans be requested to send the report of the action of the meeting to Germa- BY, and especially to those places whence the victims of this hideous crime are obtained by agents. A convention, consisting of delegates from California, Oregon, Washington and Arizona, is to assemble in this city on the 20th of next month, in accordance with a concurrent resolution passed during the last session of the Legislature. This body is to take into consideration the measures necessary to be adopted whereby the building of a Pacific railroad is to be accomplished. The congregation of Grace Church (Episcupal) have commenced the erection of a magnificent structure on Stockton street, near California, to be used asa place of worship.

Of the many colleges in our country there are few, if any,Zsuperior to this institution of learning in age, in reputation or in wealth. This University was founded in the year 1768, and is, consequently, in its ninety-first year of existence. Nearly a century ago, when Providence wasa provincial town, and the whole State of Rhode Island known only a3 a plantation, Brown University had its birth in the town of Warren, It was established by Dr. Manning, and for a time was called Hope College. About the time of the American Revolution the College was trans ferred to the city of Providence and founded upon its present site. Mr. Nicholas Brown, at that period ono of the wealthiest men in Rhode Island, if not in the Eastern States, gave to the college a large tract of land in the heart of the city of Providence, and also a very large en- dowment in money, In consideration of this munificence the name of the college was changed from Hope College to Brown University, which name it still bears. Its his- tory is marked with many vicisitudes and interesting changes, if we had the space and time to record them. During the Revoluti war the college was used a8 A barracks for the American soldiery thus in ite career has ministered to the necessities of both peace and war. In respect to wealth this college may be classed among the first in the land. The only disadyant that the Univor- sity has to contend against is, that its Executive Commit- tee is a set of old fogies, who will not consent to make the property of the institution available, The lands origi- nally given to the college by Mr. Brown have so ly increased in value that they may now be estimated at nearly two millions of dollars, This land, however, lies in unoccupied open lots, useless to the college e3 in the name of possessing them. The University in the heart of the city. It has seen commerce and trade rear their luxurious palaces everywhere about it. It has seen. its own possessions advance in value from year to year, ull they are now worth a princely income, and still, with all @ from the mismanagement, or rather from the nen-management of its property, the college is occasionally in need of funds with which to meet its current expenses. If the Executive Committee would consent te dispose of some of the lands of the col- lege and give to it the use of its property in money; if they would establish Law, Theological and Medical depart- ments, and make the institution a University, as wasorigi- nally designed, it would soon take its posite ‘as the first college in the republic. In locality ithas every advan- tage, located on an eminence that overlooks a populous city that has gathered at its feet, it enjoys natural and artificial beauties that no other college can boast of. In reputation Brown University is not what it might be, or ought to be, although it now ranks second only to ‘Yale and Cambridge, and doubiful if it is to be classed after them. The great benefit that the student has in Brown University over the other colleges, is that the student is brought into immediate contact with his pro- fessor. It is from his lips that the pupil receives his in- struction. In the other colleges the case is different. The classes in too many of our institutions of learning are handed over to tutors and monitors, and although the cot- lege may boast of illustrious names among its faculty, yet to th instructors of distinction the pupil is seldom if ever nted. And then, moreover, those connected with the faculty of Brown are gentlemen well known for their ability and standing. Dr. Francis Wayland, till within ‘a few years past the President of the institution, has a re- putation that is world wide, and Dr. Sears, his Successor, and now President, -is too well known ad too much esteemed to make special reference to him necessary. Other members of the faculty, viz: Professor Gam- mell, J. L. Lincoln, Dr. Caswell, G. F. Chaso, are known to the literati of the Union as gentlemen of extensive attainments and culture as scholars, and the student here being brought directly under the eye and direction of his professor, makes Brown, of all univer. sities, the most desirable for such as go to college for mental improvement. 4 ‘TvEspay, Sept. 6.—The meeting of the Alumni was ad- vertised for Tuesday, Sept. 6. The number of graduates who had gathered into the city to attend the annual re- union of those who came from the sme alma mater was very large. Old men, tremulous with age, came back once more to revisit the scenes of their boyhood, and to recount among themselves the incidents of collegiate life. Mr. Thomas A. Jenks, of Providence, and graduate of the class of 1838, had been selected to deliyer the address, but unfortunately the day before the meeting Mr. Jenks was attacked at Newport with apoplexy, and the exercises of thgyAlumnt were postponed. In the evening was delivered the address before tho missionary society connected with the college. This ad- dress was pronounced by the Rey. Dr. Storrs, of Brook- lyn, and was listened to by a very large and ‘select au- dience. The address of the reverend gentleman was a very able discourse, and gave great satisfaction to those interested in the socie! - In the afternoon of this day were also pronounced the oration and poem before the two literary socictics of the college called the ‘‘Philomenian”’ and “United Brothers.’’ These two societies are composed exclusively of the students of the col and are organized for the bo spr of practice in debate aba literary jmprovemont. of the societies possess a library of its own, containing about 10,000 volumes each, These two libraries are composed. of novels and light reading, which the student cannot ob- tain in the more sedate and select library of the Univer- sity. Every year these two societies unite for the pur of an annual celebration, which usually consists of an. tion and a poem. The exercises of this day were held in the First Baptist church, the largest building in the city of Providence, and which was literally jammed from the floor to the roof. The oration was delivered by Mr. Parker, of Boston, and the poem by Mortimer Thompson, of New York. Both were well received. ‘The poem was a witty and humorous affair, and the audience were at times uproarious with laughter. ‘Weoxespay, Skrr. 7.—On Wednesday, the 7th, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, were commenced the exercises of the graduating class. At nine o’clock the students of tho University and the Alumni were formed into line upon the college green, and, preceded by a band of music, were marched to the First Baptist church. The procession, marching two by two, and extending a quartor of a mile, halted upon reaching the church door; and the column opening, those who were in the rear marched through the divided line to their seats in church, and go on till the front of the line—the last to reach their places—entered the building. As the line was arranged with the oldest graduates in the rear, and so on, chrono- logically, up to the freshmen class, which headed the procession, each class were given choice of seats accord- | ing to the date of their graduation. No exhibition more interesting to a graduate could have been presented than this column, as it moved through the public streets. Here | were those who had graduated from the sage bi of learning, but some of them ware vigorgins a uth, and oth¢ri WeTe “Swed down with years. Some were confidence and hope; others had passed the same stage in their own history, and were now only waiting for the grave. There they marched—their ages, their hopes and their future claims upon life marked by the order in which they were arranged. There was the freshman at the head; then came the senior, close bebind him; then came the graduate in the prime of manhood, in the cen- tre of the line; behind him came he who had passed the meridian of life; and behind him, and closing up the pro- cession, came white hairs and palsied limbs—the whole symbolizing mortal existence, beginning with youth and ending with helpless age. The church in which the ex- ercises were held was jammed with people. The Presi- dent, Dr. Sears, with his gown and oap, ascended the pulpit at ten o’clock, and announced the speakers as fol- it Jlows:— ORDER OF EXERCISES. Music, Prayer. 1.

Sears and We have not the space to give for a sketch of the speeches—all were full of feed, sense, good advice aud (feeling. During the discourse Dr. Barnos of frown, was nominated for the Presidency of the United States,'and the nomination recoived with oud choering and applause. It was late iu the afternoon when the com ping arose from the table, aud thus fished the exercises of the day, Tuwnspay, Sept. 8.—On this day was held the annual convention of the Zeta Psi fraternity. This society is a seeret organization connected with the various colleges in the country, the object being, so far as we can ascertain, literary improvement, friendship, aud the promotion of good feeling among students who belong to it. It is com-. posed of some twenty chapters, and at the present time numbers between three and four hundred members upon its roll list. Annually a Gonvention is held at some coll reviously selected, which Convention, composed of dele- gates from the sister chapters throughout the Union, rogu- late matters for the benefit of the whole fraternity: number of delegates present'in Providenco to the Conven- tion upon this occasion was not far from one hundred and fifty, bailing from all parts of the Union, North and South. ‘The Convention was called to order, with Asa Arnold in the chair, at ten o’olock in the forenoon, The morning ses- sion of the Convention was mainly occupied with examin- ing credentials of delegates and preparing for business. At one o'clock the Convention adjourned till throe o'clock, but aa the business of the society is strictly private your correspondent did not learn the proceedings of the after- noon sesgion. ‘The literary exeroises of the Chapter were held in the evening, commencing at seven o'clock. The oration was delivered by Ethan Allen, of New York, and the poem by W. Y. Gordon, of Taunton, Mass. A full meeting of the delegates were present, and expressed themselves highly gratified with the entertainment, In the evening the Zeta Psi fraternity sat down to a sumptuous banquet, provided for them by the Epsilon Chapter of Brown, at Humphrey’s saloon, Asa Arnold resided, and the whole company did full justice to the feast before them. Many eloquent speeches were made, and many times were buinpers taken for the prosperity of the Zeta Psi, The entertainment ended not until after midnight, and in the best humor and in fraternal feeling the members separated for their respective homes. During the days of Friday and Saturday the faculty of the college were engaged in examinations for admission to the institution. We understand that about eighty are ad mitted for this year. The number of applicants was much r, we were told, but the college could not receive more than the number stated. This time honored institu- tion is in circumstances that are prosperous, but it might, do much more than it does if its executive board would use its wealth and increase its departments and accom- modatious. But as it is, its friends and graduates are proud of its honors and its name, and wish it. long life and increasing glory. ee Romance in the West. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MR. PATTON FROM LAFAY- EYTE, IND., BXPLAINED—HE ELOPES WITH HIS FIRST LOVE. An extra from the ofiice of the Lafayette Courier gives the following facts in regard to the recent disappearance from that city of one of its promineut citizons:— The remarkable disappearance of Mr. Patton, a leading hardware dealer of this city, has been the subject of ex- tended comment in these columns, and wherever Mr. P. was known has excited the liveliest apprehensions as to his fate. . On the 8th day of last month he left this city ostensibly upon a short tour of recreation, accompanied by his little gon, a child scarce five years of age. He took, as was supposed, but a small amount of money—barely sufficient to defray his expenses to Chicago and return, but one change of linen, and, strange to say, was urgent in pres- sing upon his wife to'accompany hiin. She declined to go however, and, expressing his Tegret, he took his depar- ture. His return by the next train was confidently ex- pected by his family and friends. Their agonizing sus- pense, as days and weeks clapsed, may be imagined. ‘The seeming purity of his private life, his position as a leading member of the Methodist church, the seem- ing felicity of his domestic relations—every circum- stance, in fact, combined to preclude any solution of his absence save upon the supposition that he had met with foul play. We are pained tosay that subsequent develope- ments, the result of a thorough investigation into all the circumstances attending his disappearance, reveal the fact that he has eloped with Miss Adeline Potts, a young lady who formerly resided near Dayton, in this county, and to whom was at one time engaged. It seems that they har been children together, became¢overs, and were to have been married on a certain day, A brother, residin; near Crawfordsville, opposed the match, and iaterceptes their correspondence. A misunderstanding and an es- trangement ensued, At this juncture he commenced pay- ing his attentions to a highly’ respectable young lady of this city, and piqued by the seeming coldness of Miss Potts, married her after a brief courtship, The interfe- rence of the brother, the intercepted letters, and the con- sequent misunderstanding and estrangement were subse- quently explained; and, as the story goes, Mr. Patton was heard to lament his ill-advised haste in the most unmea- sured terms, protesting his ‘‘undying love’ for Miss Potts, and begging the privilege of retaining a portion of their corrtspondence as a souvenir of the past. Since this period, which was sometime in February, 1852, Miss Potts has resided in Illinois and Wisconsin, with the exes of a few weeks which she spent on a visit to this city in 1855. During this visit Mr. P. paid her some attention, bat owing Occurred to cccasion any romark. Itis now revealed, however, that a regular correspond: ence kept P with her since his marriage, A brother-in-law, with w! she resided at Junesville, Wis- consin, discovered the correspondence about eighteen months since, and made an unsuccessful effort to have it discontinued. Mr. Patton, as_we have before stated, left this city on Monday afternoon, August 8, arriving at Chicago about nine o’clock on the evening of the same day. Early the next morning he went to the telegraph of and sent a despatch to Miss Potts at Janesville as follows:— Cuicaco, August 9—A. M. “Meet me at Beloit. HARDING.” The despatch reached Miss Potts at an carly hour, and informing her friends that she was expected to officiate as bridesmaid at the wedding of a frien at Boloit that day, left for B. by the first train. Patton had -preceded hor} and bad engaged rooms at the hotel, registering himself and child as J. W. Harding and son} and informing the landlord that he was expecting the arrival of his wife. They occupied the same room that night. e next day she returned to Janesville, aud informing her friends that she was going on a short visit to Rich- mond county, packed her entire wardrobe and left the same evening. Patton doubtless joined her again at some of the way stations between Janesville and Beloit, Here all trace of the guilty couple is lost, Tt ig thp general sup- Position that they yal tg Now York’ aud sailed. for California, Miss Potts is known to haye had a considerable sum of Money, and it is not probable that Mr. Patton was as short of funds as was at first supposed. Patton, whose case excites the most heartfelt sym- the entire community, has filed her application for divorce and alimony, on the ground of adultery and abandonment. ELOPEMENT OF A WIFE FROM &T. LOUIS. (From the St, Louis Democrat, Sept. 7.] Agentleman from Vicksburg, who visited St. Louis in company with his wife lately, with the intent some investments in steamboat stock, cd this evening in search of his wife and $3,000, which e is supposed to have taken with her, and went down | The story, as told, is that a mutual | on the Giadiat friend of the husband and wife called on tho Indy hastily on Saturday last, with a purported message from her hus- band, requesting her presence with the escort of their friend, in Illinoistown; the friend learns the sudden de- parturo of the husband, and the wife and friend proceed in company to Sandoval.

STILL ANOTHER ELOPEMENT. The Waterville Times says:—We are informod th man residing in Marshall recently eloped with his wit sister. The guilty pair went to Buckville, Madison coun’ where they represented themselves to be man and After a brief while the woman fell sick and died. The story now is that she was poisoned by her paramour, who bas fled. This was told us in good faith. ————— Crime in the Rural Districts. DISGUSTING REVELATIONS CONCERNING THE MONROE COUNTY JAIL. From the Rochester Union, Sept. 8.} A transaction has just come to light which reflects dis grace upon the county of Monroe. It appears thar the county jail, under the management of the last admini) tion, was made a house of prostitution, and ove of the pie prisoners confined there was debauched, and has become the mother of a child, to be « charge’upon the county, as well a3 a stain upon its good name. The fuet was first ma in the Democrat this morning, though in We propose to tell the whole story, that those who fanit may be shown tothe world. For the three y ling in Decomber last, the jailor of this county wis Chilion Merri, and his son, H. &. Merrill, was the deputy.

A person who was disappointed and surprised immediately asked her why she had pleaded guilty? ‘The language of her answer is unilt to be printod, but it was in celfect that she was anxious to escape from the jail, whore her life was in jeopardy from debauch. the history of the Rochester jail during the past ad- ministration could be written by some one familiar there- with, it would be a sad commentary on the morals of our county. For the sake of decency we hopo the task will be omitted, We only refer to the matter now that those who in future may be exposed to temptation may learn that exposure is liable to follow if they deviate from the path of duty. It is proper to state hore, that on the first of January last a thorough change took place in the management of the jail, Sheriff Smith on taking office appointed a tried man, W. R. Bascom, to the office of jailor, and under his management there is an entire change in the appearance the tion. The jail is now a clean, quiet and orderly place. There is no mixing of the sexes—malo felons do not act as turnkeys and custodians of the female prisoners, and the stranger who visits the prison, and who visited it before, is at once impressed with the change in every aspect—a change which must be gratifying to every friend of order and morality, Porunating Two States mw one Day.—The New London Sfar, of the 8th, states that after the 11 o'clock A.
