Sift Hailg |jrcss. FRIDAY MORNING, FEB 2, 186# A SmMioltko Incidbnt.—The Port land Advertiser relate# the following amusing incident of smuggling on the borders : A keen custom house official on the American side of the St. Croix, met a woman crossing a bridge with a bundle in her arms. “What have you there?” he demanded. She hesitated, (taminCred, and* then said, “nothing dutiable.” He insisted on seeing it, the refused, a struggle ensued; at last she yielded, and placed the bundle in his arms, saying “take it then, and much good may it do you.” Then she return ed to St. Stephen, whilst he made for the light to examine his treasure, which proved to be an. infant a-few days old. The mother has been undiscovered, the Poor-boUse officials refuse to take the child, and so the energetic officer is al lowed to enjoy the whole capture. The Mayor’s Court.— A votary of “the art preservative of all arts,” having a plenty of coins, we presume, got drunk and disorderly in the streets, when a policeman gave chase, and he was locked up for the balance of the night. He appeared at the bar next morning, aud had the pleasure of hearing the Mayor sri'e&him in a line of two dollars, which, we hope, will put a stop to his frolicking. fer JNO.
