A Tale of the great Saratoga Trunk, ~ Old Anthracite has a very dear wife —#o dear that she costs him on herown private account about fifteen thousand dollars a year. Mrs. Anthracite always has the latest fashions, so when the f;ent Saratoga Trunk ‘was exhibited in Sroadway, Mrs. A. instantly purchased one for her summer trip. Every onc knows that the great Saratoga trunk is an unexceptionabletrunk. It 1s colossal—of Titanic proportions. Cheops, the builder of the great pyramid, might have found- ample accommodation for her entire household in the great Saratoga trunk.

Accordingly down went Mrs. A. to the great watering place, with hergreat trunk. She had not been long there, however, whén old Anthracite received a private telegraph from a friend to inform him that Mrs, A. was flirting desperately with young Belzebub, the son and the heir of old Belzebub, the great soap boiler. Anthracite instantly takes the train, arrives at the hotel, and, inquiring the number of his wife's room, quietly walks up stairs. His wife’s door is shut. = Anthracite knocks. Door opens after some delay. Mrs. A. appears fluttered, which flutter increases to dismay when she sees her husband. Husband enters coolly ; explains that he just came to see how she was getting,

trunk. Drops a glove, the picking np of which enables him to look under the bed. No one there. Mrs. A. looked as if some enc ought to be there. Husband talks of the weather, and the pair are sitting down to a little light conversation, when cld Anthracite remarks quictly : x ¢ Mrs. A. there's a rat in your tronk.’ Mrs. turns pale through her paint. No. Husband is mistagken. The rat is in the.wainscot. They ch always there, those rats. llusband issure it isin the trunk. Ile¢ smells bim. Ie will examine. Mrs. A. is very anxious he should not. ITe can't. The trunk isshut and ghe has lost the key. Ilusband begs to contradict. The key was in the lock and what was more, the lid was open, Husband, amid the protestations of Mrs. A. half raised the lid. No crinoline, no shawls, no laces, no furbelows in the great Saratoga tr ok ; only young Belzebub’s: glossy, cu'is and killing moustache are vistble. Mrs. A. instantly faints. It’s the privilege of her scx on such occasions. What does husband do? Shoot young Belzehub? Not a bit of it. He smiles grimly and shuts the lid down again, locking the great Saratoga trunk. What would the trunk not have given for a cigar in a baggage wagon, when it smelled the tobacco smoke that wasso liberally puffed about! The trunk, although nearly suffocated, thought it best to keep quiet. Arrived at New York, old Anthracite told the people at the depot, loud cnoungh for the great Saratoga trunk to liear him,

office for a few days, when he would gend for it, This was more than the trunk could bear, so it kicked, shouted and made a noise, until it was broken open, and to the: amazement of everybody; poor Belzebub orawled out in a limping condition. He tried to tell the £eople ’twas done for a bet, but some‘how the trath leaked out, and I predict that next summer there will be fewer * great Saratoga trunks at the springs.— T think old Anthracitc had . tho best of it, don’t you? . : ——-——-—044.-.&.——.—:.—— . §E>= Gray, of‘the Clevelatd Plain Dealer admits to having daneed a,polka, for' the purpose of faceing & “red peticoat,” a real rosy revelation. ‘His wife wust follow the example of Vietoria, who adopted the red petticeat herself beoauw;‘t admired it upon the limbs of'ome Scotch lasses, whom he saw at Balmoral, Mr. Gray is a Demo- ~ orat, and has no business to “iuterfere with other people’s domestic institn:

LaGrasge Co. Circuit Court, March i+ Term, 1858 g ‘On Thursday, March 25, the opening trials commenced of those arrested by the “Regulators,” in LaGrange Co.; R. J. DawsoN presiding. L The previous time.of the Court being oceupied by some unimportant eriminal ‘cases which were on the calendar pre‘vious to the Regulator arrests. = Altho’ ‘there are no signs of excitenient in the proper meaning of the term, yetthereis a deep and searching interest unmistakably manifeéted. There ar‘e‘delegations of the different Conimittees present from most if not all parts of the County, to see how the scules’ of justice shall be ‘held. But theattendance is not confined to the County, not only from the adjoining counties of this State, but many are present from southern Michigan.— The Hotels are crowded to overflowing. On Thursday morning at 9 o’clock, Mr. A. Fleming’s case was called—he was sent _ for to offer an answer to the indictment found against him. He was was soon brought within the bar by the officer, and the indictment slowly and clearly read to him by the Prosecutor, S. J. STouGHTON, to which he ansyered with emphasis, “ Not Guilty, so help me God.” ; ‘

The indictment charged him with 'Arson, by setting fire to a Tailor Shop at Lima, in that County. The intention being, as was afterwards sworn to, to burn a Bank and Store which stood contiguous to the Tailor Shop. L ~ Mr. Ellison, his Attorney, moved a change of venue to some other County, presenting an affidavit, signed by prisoner, setting. out that on account of the cxcitement against him, his. illegal arrest and detainment being dwelt upon, tial trial. * e | o The Court remarked that he did not consider an un'du;{ excitement ex_,is"ting and that if the pﬁ%per tests were a;“p“}i‘ed to jurors, that an impartial jury could be selected. Change of venue denied. ~ Time was then iasked by the prisoner’s counsel,to preparc an affidavit, setting out reasons why a continuence of trial until next term of Court, should be granted. Counsel had leave to prepare the affidavit. = ~ During this intcrval, some three or four were arraigned and indictments read to them, who plead not guilty.— John Marvin, a youth, charged yith passing a counterfeit bank bill, plead ‘guilty. Sentence suspended. Counsel presented affidavit of Fleming’s, setting out that for the want of witnesses, living in the State of lowa, which he could. not procure at this term of Court, he could not safely enter into trial ; that he expected.to prove by thew that he was absent at their homes when this firing was alledged to have been done: oo e P

Counsel for State objected, because it could not be expected that witnesses living 2t that time in Towa, could know when the fire occurred. Court overruled the motion for continuance, but stated that if facts should appear upon trial, tha % beariny, uapon the case, that he would consider it ina motion for a new trial. LR The roll of jurors was then called, and they were ordered to occupy their seats- The counsel for the defence exhausted their 10 challenges. The State exhausted their 2 challenges. 3 The court, at near one o’clock, adjourned for one hour. The court room has been densely erowded. | AFTERNDON BESSION. - - The witnesses for the State being called, prisoner’s counsel moved to enforce the rule excluding the witnesses from the court room, only when called to testify. This rule being iapplied to both the States and prisoner’s witness- | es, they were sworn and, retired until

Cross Ex.—Did not know of Robinson, the Tailor, leaving matches on the window, thinks there was a show in town that night.

G. M. Storm—Could remember nothing definite about it‘,khew ’b‘t, went over with Bates to s#F shop, thought at first that it was the back window, but upon reflection’ was not certain, did not know what time of ﬁight.the fire occurred, the fire was after dark sometime, could tell when, but should think from 8 to 9 o’clock, ». M.

F. F. Jewctt—Went down to the; shop next morning, part of fashion plate burnt, some newspapet partly burnt, LaGrange Bank was on the east 15 feet, store east of Bank 25 or 30 feet. Cross Ex.—Fashion plate was lyipg on the floor, saw stubs of three or four matches. The front east window was theone fired, the sash was blacked, but thought that it was not charred, the shop was in a very public part of the vi’lﬁtbc back side would have been tkethest secret place of firing it. ‘ J..A.—Live iu.Detroit, am a detective Police Officer, saw Fleming at his house about two. years ago, came to his house to see I'leming, Ulmer and Randolphy got a horse from prisoner and rode over to Randolph’s and back, had a letter of introduction from Hanford, a blackleg, Fleming told about firing the Tailor Shop, said it was his intention to set the fireso ‘as toburn the Shop, Bank and Store, that he did not.like the men, that the fire was put out, but -‘by God he would feteh them the next time.— Cross Ex.—Took dinner at Fleming’s Passed myself off for a blackleg, I think by my own name, served unteF i as Deputy Sheriff of San_c Co., Mich., some five or six yearsago. have beed an officer in Detroit for about three years, was in Lima the May and June following, rode down with Mr. Stoughton, from Sturgts, Mr. Stoughton introduced me to a bank man, think that hi§ name was Williams, told him what Fleming told me about firing the buildings. "A long serics of questions here followed by coungel for the defence, in relation to places that he (witness,) had been in, as also about many transactions that he had been engaged in, showing only in particular, that he had been a very successful detective officer. | - Here the State rested. : Defence introduced but one witness, J. B. Howe, Esq., who testified that he had got the impression from hearing others talk about it; that the fire was put out with snow. Defence rested the case. S

Mr. W. L. Stoughton opened the plea for the State in a neat speech of § of an hour, he was followed by E. Wilson, Esq., in an able rejoinder of one hour and a half, whep Court adjourned. Friday morning at 8 o’clock.’ On the opening of the Court, counsel for the State asked leave to allow a witness: to correct his testimony of yester?g,;m,ing that Mr. Jewett had, since the adjournment yesterday, re-examined the window kash and had found that it was charred. After an earnest discussion, the c%t‘mled that ‘it would notbe ad‘missable. oo

- 8. J. Stoughton closed the argument for the State, and A. Ellison for the prisoner. Court adjourned for dinner. At the opening of the Court,at 14 p. M., the counsel for the State moved for an order from the Court to send the jury to view the premises. After some discussion, the court granted the order. The jury was placed in the keeping of a sworn officer, and retired to yisit the Md@ out five o'~ "clock, and reccived the charge of the Court, and retired to .their room. During the absénce of the jury the Court was engaged in other business not interesting to the reader. Stk The jury failed to agree until Saturday, 12 m., having been out 19 hours. Upon the appearance of the jury in the Court room, the prisoner was ordered to e brought into Court. ~ He entered the | Court room in ‘charge of the officer, a little paler than usual, though not apparently excited; ashe entered and tock his seat, and until the reading of the verdiot, which was an interval of ling silence. When ‘at length the verdiet was read by the Court, which was | a verdict of guilty, with a sentence, of four years in the Penitentiary, the au- | dence, s el . the priusr bimes

‘was, even to the prisoner, more terrific than the reality itself. =~ == ~ His counsel gave notige of a motion for a new trial. ~ After some . consultation between the prisoner and his coun. sel, he was returned to jail. e - The State, vs. Pierson.—lndictment found against him for secreting stolen: goods.
