Among the prominent men in this bg 4 was Robert Pike, an older brother of the nt William ©. Pike. In a yoar or two the first wife of William ©. P ister of tho Pikes, came and sovtied hore, stil with ib was . houning | cards pot long before William C. was added ta thle. pie company, Thia was in-the days 01 ¢laim- ing government land, and William C. made a claim on a piece of timber land ubout six miles from the settle. . meut of the colony. In this remote place he would have perished but lor the faithfulness of a large New. fJoundiund dog that had been his constant companion for many years. William and bis wife and oue or two childrea were trying to winter ina little hut: made of short logs, When they had nearly exaansied all u winter supplies there came a deep suow, and the set- tlement was six miles distant, In their extremity they sent a note to the colony tied to the neck of the laithiul dog. ‘This note brougat relief and was said to have saved the lives of the tamily. Ip the spring Pike moved back to the settioment and lett bis wile and two children’ near their friends while ho went rowing around the country teaching and lecturing un phrenolozy, mesmerism, &c. From this pomt com- menced his downward journey, Somewhere in bis wanderings he tell ip with the present Genevieve, who is the /direct or immediate cause of ull bis trouble, ‘This woman was « spiritual trance medium, She travelled with bim, often on fvot, trom place to Place, acting In bis seances as a spirit medium.

A MAN PREPARED No DNVESS ABOUT THE KELSHY MULDER, The murder of Huntington 1s uot likely to be allowed to rest. In the Sulfulk Julletin of lust Friday is a Jetter signed *Roepentant,’”? in which the author con- feases to having been a party to the tarring and feuthoring of Kelsey on the ulght of November 4, 1872, It 16 said that all the information is in the possession of District Attorney Wickham, The Bulletin has ever been partial to the Saminises and was the tar party’s organ, and th pyblication of the letter in its columns excites no little comment in Huntington. The gist of the communication is us follows:— lam tired of keep a horrible secret, and as sure twere is an omniscient and almighty power that governs and directs all things mundane, 80 surely will aucknowledge—if opportunity is offered by a revival of the case—vefore proper tribunals all that L_ know of this frighttul crime, which is making my lile intolera- bic.

His acts had been misrepre- seoted and Wore represented to be infamous in tho ox- treme. 1 was a passive rather than an active partici pant, and on my sacred honor had not the most re- mote idea that anything farther than the tar and feather indignity was contemplated, Small would be my nama beture u respectable world if I did not by confession und penitential acts purge my accusing conscience, and stall would be tny hopes of making my peace with my Maker if 1 did not take this only method of recon- cilemeat. it is hinted in Huntington that the ponitent isa .member of the Presbyterian Church, and was brought to this state of mind by an almost fatal sickness. POLICE BRUTALITY, OFFICER CLEARY AGAIN DEPRIVED OF HIS SHIELD. Michael Cleary, tho oflicer of the First police precinct, Brooklya, who nearly fractured Mr. Boatty’s skull by the pounding be gave that gentloman on Saturday evening last, in Tillary street, was highly pleaged at getting possession of bis shicld again on Sunday morning, and when placed on duty swung his club with unusual independence, Indiguation was very great among the respectable citizens of Brook- lyn when they learned through the Hxau ye terday morning that Cleary was to be allowed the privilege ouce more of beating Inoffensive citizens, and a large number of persons, among whom wero several who had witnessed tue vrutal assault, called on the Police Commissioners to enter a protest, It secms then when Justice Walsh ordered Officer Cleary to be placed under arrest on Saturday night, in default of $1,000 bail, it was supposed that he would be locked up in a cell at the First precinct station house like any othor criminal. 1t was a vain suppost- tion, however, as Cleary was allowed to rotire for the night toehis comfortable couch, notwithstanding be had been deprived of his slueld ‘by Iaspector Waddy, ‘Tbe prisoner (?) was bailed on Sunday morning and Sergeant Kuson received orders to return his shield to him, luspector Waddy, when asked concerning the order, replied that OMcer Cleary was employed by the city, and it bad no right to pro- judgo bim,’ He was paid, and there was elso for him to ‘do except to go back on post again, The power to suspend an officer it seems Inspector Waddy 1s not at liberty to exercise, and Officer Cleary’s reifstatement 1s due to Superin- tendent Campbell pending the action of the Police Commissioners. Tho latter listened very attentively to statements of the citizens who waited pou then, and op motion of Commissioner Pybarn Oflicer Cleary was once more deprived of bis shield and suspended from duty, A. formal charge was theo preterred against Cleary by the citizens, and his trial will take plage to-morrow, Yesterdvy alternvon Mr. Beatty’s condition was much worse, aud Judge Walsh was called upon (0 have Cleary arrested for attempted killing.

An inquest was held yesterday in the case of Eliza. both Klages, who, on the 22d of February, was bitten by abalf-breed spitz dog, and whose death a month later was attended with symptoms strongly indicative of hygropbouia, ‘Tho testimony of the child’s father went to show that the wound iutlicted by the animal been taken to guard against the dreadful result which the nature of the injury prompted the girl’s relatives to fear. The dog, too, had been shot about fifteen min: tes after the’ occurrence, and this encouraged a hope that all danger had been averted, Ip the course of a month, however, the child began io have spasms of only momentary duration, but which brought to her father’s mind a areadfal appre: hension of bow they might terminate, The doctor was Drought in agatu, but while recognizing symptoms pe- cular to hydrophobia in tts incipient stages he fancied he could trace them to another source. In ume, how- ever, Ube tnevitable averseness to liquids began to manifest itself and the convulsions became more fre. quent, 4 couple of days passed and then the litte girl, in one of ber spasms, expired. ‘The testimony of the doctors was confirmatory of this and the jury ren- dored a yeraict of death from convulsions due to the bite of a dog. +9 MARRIAGES: AND DEATH “ENGAGED.
