STEALING ON CREDIT. "A farmer in this
State was once greatly puzzled BY the sud-
den disappearance Of his sheep. One after
another was missed from the flock, without
any solution of the mystety--until at last,
his suspicious rested on one Of his neigh
bOrs. Accordingly, as the sheep disappear
ed, each one was entered on the book 4!
gainst the suspected man, and the price car
RED out. At the end Of the year, the bill
was sent to him-and without making any
words on the subject, he prudently paid it.
Another year passed, and the absence of
greater number Of sheep had added numsf-
Gus items 10 anew bill, which was presented,
as on the year previous. This time, hoWeV-
er, the lover of mutton demuned-and m
sisted on its being reduced; protesting that
he had not taken an eighth part Of the num-
Der charged to him. But the creditor I'M
sisted upon every farthing. WELL said
sleepy, sif must pay, ] suppose mast; but
the fact is, some scamp has been stealing OF
my crcdit--NeaO Havca Register. PSI
