Hall was everything a man ought not to be. From his earliest boyhood he has done not one single stroke of work. For the living he has had, the food he has eaten, theclothes he has worn and the shelter with which he has been provided, he has given nothing in return. Ke has been a drone in the human hive, or rather some thing more and worse than that. A3 idle as a drone in all efforts towards an honest livelihood, he has been inspired withdevilish activity in all evil ways. Dayafter day, week after week, year in andyear out he has preyed upon so:iety. Whenever he could find an unsuspectingvictim he robbed him without remorse. His living he made by pandering to thepassions and practicing on the credulity of his fellow man. A thief ever and always, he trod the danger line where all crimes were possible for the accomplishment of hi9 purpose. He was as truly an enemy of society as is small pox or the cholera, or any other scourge which we fight with quarantines and disinfectants.What a pity some commission of morals and economy could not have laid their hands on this leper anytime these fifteen years back and placed him, on general principles, in permanent quaran tine where he could neither rob nor corrupt the healthful portion of the community ! Is society If) sit with folded hands and see him daily and nightly earn the wages of sin and not pay the debt of death, but leave i.t to be done by the wicked partner of his criminal practices? Is society to abdicate its functions of justice and sell protection to the abandoned women whom he consorted with in her mother’s bagnio until he finally took her about with him as bis wife? For years and years the public has witnessed hi3 irregularities and suffered from them. What he was and what he was doing was so well known that his biography, full and ample, seems to haye been pigeon holed in the newspaper offices of the city he made his home, ready for an expected emergency calling for its use. And that biography stamps him as something quite as much to be dreaded as a wild animal at large whom it would be everybody’s duty to destroy.But the great public suffered in'silence, bound up in the chains of its own forging for the apparent protection and perpetuation of all the vile and crawling things that infest the earth. It seems to be as foolish as if fanners should be forbiddena substantial benefit in ridding it of a creature whose room is much more needed than his society. If to make two blades of grass grow where only onegrew before is a matter deserving of con-gratulation, to get rid of an animal that consumes one of those blades without cultivating either is likewise a matter ofcongratulation. If only the criminal class can be encouraged to leave the rest ot society alone and begin their operations with knives and pistols on themselves, as Mrs. Hall has done, the countrywill breath freer.This is an obituary of Hall.BONDS.Not many months ago this communi. ty was very thoroughly aroused at the high handed and disreputable proceedings by which Simmons and Hunt, twobank robbers, were turned loose to prey upon society. They were clearly guilty of the crime for wkich they were arrested and yet they were not tried. Their attorneys became their bondsman, fhus entering into an agreement with the community to either pro duce them lor trial when the time came or to pay into the school fund the amount of the forfeited bond. They did neitlitr, and thus justice was cheated of two victims, the schooj fund defrauded of a large sum ol money | and two professional thieves turned loose upon society. But it is not necessa ry just now, though it may be before long, to repeat in detail the particulars of that scandulous proceeding: The whole affair is fresh in the public mind and the indignation ot the people has not abated, as will b8 abund antlv demonstrated whenever they may have opportunity for the expression of their opinion concerning it. When therefore it issought by insinuation, innuendo and dark hints, born of malignancy, to throw upon Sheriff Cleary the odium attaching to flagrant jail breaking under the formr of law caused by this infamous Simmons and Hunt case,and when this is done at the the instigation of a copartner in that outrage, it islime to say that all that happened long before Sheriff Cleary came into office. This can be demionstrated by the publication of connected history of that case, which will be done if there is any doubt on the point. He is in no wise responsible for the turning loose of Sim-mous and Hunt, (it was before hiselection) and he has none of the public school money which one of the parties connected with the case sayswas left behind to pay the bond they intended to forfeit when they left here. If, however, this talk about forfeited bonds means a chance of heart, where something of that kind is very much needed, and indicates a purpose, even at this late day, to either produce thos»* thieves or pay the forfeited bonds in spite of the carefully arranged irregularities by which either one of the two thiDgs they engaged to do was avoided, the people of Vigo county will be more than pleased. It is always pleasant to have all who enjoy the protection of the law, and especially those who pick up a precarious livelihood by its exposition,to dose their potato vines with Paris WatChfal ,0 ’hlt;? cnd r8tller °{ °bey,Dg green without giving each individual, lhau.breaklng it8 provi3ions in ,Leirpotato bug the right of trial by a jury of lown iives a,lJ couJuct whether il be inthe matier of constructing bad bonds orhis peers.But a Nemesis abided with this man.

Society could hardly have made way with him itself, but it ought to have locked him lip for keeps on general principles fifteen years ago and made him earn in confinement the bread he stole when he was free.
