At the Stipendiary Court at Hanley, two colliers named Wilding and Williams, were charged with being on premises at Biirslem, for an unlawful purpose. A gentleman named Barlow said returning to his home he found one of the prisoners striped to his waist and armed with a clasp knife, fighting with a Newfoundland dog, which was chained to a kennel. The man's arm was bleeding. The. other man was holding his clothes. Both men were sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment. A Lewiston gentleman recently carried :V a letter of introduction from a friend to a stranger. The stranger received him coolly and showed him the door. A little investigation showed him the reason. The letter said, " Treat him like a trump ;" » but the stranger read it, <; Treat him like a tramp." If ever a man bore an inappropriate name it is one Pope Breedlove, who* lately in Gwinette county, Georgia, shot and killed his wife after having been married only three months.
