On the evening of Thursday, the 8th

and disguised as Indians, crossed the State line
from Rensselaer, County, over West Mountain
into WiliiamStown, and drove off some forty head
of cattle, Selling upon them wherever they could
be found. and hurry ing them toward the line be-
fore any eiectual resistance could be opposed to
them. thew were well on the way toward home,
having shot at the only farmer who hindered them,
fortunately without njuring him. AssoOn az pos
sibe party was selected, comprised chiefly OF
students from Williams College, and headed by
Sheriff Buikley, and Constabes Haskins and Cox,
sLd chase was given to the midnight plunderers.
They we've oyertaken before reaching the brow
Of the bid, and opposed little resistance to the
pursuing party, fred a few shots and led, leaving
the cattle the greater part OF which wss driven
back, and the remainder scattered about the woods
on the mountain, whence they were reclaimed by
their rightfll owners in the morning. All the m

For Tho Nev Yoh Tnbuns
THE OLD DOORS T0 NE
ny FRANcRs u. GAGE

A SONG, a song, for the old door stone,
To every household dear;
That hallowed spot, where joys and grieis
Were share for many year.
When sank the sun to his daily rest,
When the wild birds song was Ger,
When the toll and care of the passing day
ANNOYED the heart no more;
Then Oh that loved and time-worn spot
We gathered one by one,
And spent the social twilight hour
Upon the old door-stone.
How sweet to me do memories come
Ofmerry childhood's hours,
When We sped blithely through the fields
In search of budding flowers,
Or gathered berries from the bush,
Or bending greenwood tree,
Or chased the light winged butterfly,
With pealing shouts Of glee:
The freshest hour in Memory's book
Was spent at set Of sun,
My weary head on mothers knee,
Upon the old dOor-stone.
That mothers face, that mothers form,
Are craven on my heart,
And of life's hottest memories
They form the dearest part;
Her counsel and instructions given
OF friendship, love and tr 18th,
Through all the ways otyOuth
And yet seem to hear again
Each loved and treasured tone,
When in fancy sit me down
Upon the old dOor-stone.
Long years have passed since mother died,
Yet she is with me still,
Whether toier in the vale,
Or wanderer on the hill
still with me at my morning care,
Or evenings quiet rest,
The guardian angel by my side,
The kindest and the best.
A mother now, often strive
To catch her thought and tone,
For those who cluster round my knee,
Upon my own door-stOne.
And oft beneath those clustering vines
Have kindred spirits met,
And holy words breathed softly there
Vows all unbroken yet
And friendships formed and plans devised,
And kindly pledges given,
And sweet communions there begun,
Far. reaching into Heaven.
Oh! these who met, in love- lang syne,
In life's wide paths ore thrown;
Yet many turn with longing hearts
Back to the old dOor-stone.
Years, years have flown since those brgh
days,
And all the world is changed,
And some who loved most kindly then
Are by the world estranged
Some fond hearts, too then full of Joy,
Are cold and still this dav
Forsaken plans and withered hopes
Lie strewn DER all the way,
And strangers fest tread those old halls
Where battered once our own,
And spend the pleasant twilight hour
Upon the old door stone.
The Old door stone, the clustering vine,
Oh may they long remain
And may the household band that's left
Meet there but once again
Meet, not to weep DER pleasures past,
Or canvass Oys to come
Meet to revive the sacred loves
Once centered in that home.
A brother and a sister sleep,
Our parents both are gone;
Oh it would be a saddened hour
Upon that old door
