— lt;-Two Years ix the Penitentiary.—The Common PIea9 Court has been in session for sorao days. Interspersed with the multiplicity of civil business have been a number of surety of the peace cases—the meanest kind of business that ever comes before any court, whether rejoicing within the precincts of a township squire’s office, or assuming the more dignified proportions of the interior of a county citadel of justice. But one really criminal case has been disposed of by the Court at its present term- that of John Froman, who was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years for picking the pocket of a fellow sinner in this city last February, on the occason of the reception of the lion. Abraham Lincoln, the President elect of the United States. Since that reception Buchanan finds himself out of ofiicc, Lincoln has a rebellion «n hand to be crushed out, Douglas has diea and other good men have gone to their final rest, but the only change and rest reserved for Froman is to leave the Marion county jail and take harder fare and harder work at Jefi'ersonvillc or Michigan City.
