NJ The BURGLAR. cold p,,,Ly

W The burglar, cold Buck" is rather
above the medium size, has light hair cropped, a
broad chin, small grey eyes, and is apparently
about forty years old. He will not tell anv
thing about himself. We think WIN. Lawn.

ing his arrest, deserves CT edit for the act
Bill has labored under the bad opinions { the
community, from evil associations, but in this
affair he has shown a proper disposition to do
right even at considerable personal hazard.
Mr.. Clement Reitz's house was broken
open last Tuesday night, and he was robbed
OF S27. By comparison it has been proven
by marks, that the window was broken open
by the identical chisel with which this man
sought to defend himself, thus proving him
guilty Of that burglary at least, pretty con.
clusively.

Gossip with Our Reader.
By our faith, this is beautiful morning
The sunshine is softened by slight veil o
mist even as in the autumn days. The air is
cool and pure. Men seem to breathe freer
and move quicker. New life animates all living
things. Verify, if there were not almost thu
noise of mob at our side, we might lift ou
thoughts with the uprising mists, above dull
earth. But as possibly we might find some
difficulty in getting down again with the pro-
per dignity, the reader will be pleasantly gra-
tilted to find our editorial thoughts are still
bound to earth. Yet truly, after the hot days
and sultry nights and suffocating dust, these
days are to be admired and glorifed
But hark!--what sound breaks in upon the
beauty of this morning, A groan of misery
-Perhaps'the dying groan OF wicked man,
a man stepped in crime-an escaped criminal
from the justice of the laws ne has so often
violated-shot while in the very act of COM
hitting probably his last crime. What mus,
be that mans feelings at this moment. Dan
gerously and perhaps fatally..wounded, with
out a heart to sympathize with him-the JUS
tice of earth staring him in the face If he re-
cover-that of heaven in awful majesty
awaiting him if he die. Within few steps
of us lies this man, every groan Of pain or
impotence or ppointment, reaching our
ears. Yet that being WIS once an innocent
child. A fond mother doubtless watched his
first steps, and gazed with loving eyes upon
the little form that enwrapped her dearest az
fections. Her instructions and admonitions
of after years, may yet linger about him in a
sweet and gentle memory. Yet the love Of
that very parent, it may be, has been his ruin
Affection may have overlooked errors, even
if her blinded love could see them. But we
leave this sad subject, and ah, what groan
of anguish and despair was that as fare
well.
Turn we to lighter things. Bless our eyes,
what variety of things paperatorial meets
the gaze of an editor in turning over his pile
OF exchanges. But he soon gets over being
shocked, or astonished, or amused at any
thing typographical, unless it be the very ne
plus ultra of some novelty in the way of
crime or folly, fact or fancy. Instead of try
TO astonish or amuse himself. he endeavors
to effect that object with his readers. Paper
after paper is opened and closed with the
one idea-what would or should produce a
wave or ripple on the calm sea OF his patrons
thoughts. What nonsensical things he some
times publishes to crafty somewhat hor-
rible things to crafty others-and what an
odd mixture Of oddities does he offer to the
public palate in his daily or weekly dish!
And talking about odd things, it may seem
a very odd thing to our readers that with one
whack of our pen, We cut off this editorial
but it was commenced without though
that we should feel called upon to say 81
much about things appertaining to robber.
and shooting. We are just as full of gossi
as any old lady, but must postpone the in
tense delight of talking farther at this time

False sympathy.

False sympathy.
There was considerable excitement in the
city yesterday, relative to the shooting OF the
rascal "Old Buck" noted scoundrel, while
in the very act Of committing burglary.
We were somewhat surprised, Tor We should
have been had we not known the bitter enmi'
ty few persons entertain for Sheriff Cavity
at the false sympathy expressed by some TO-
this thief, because he was shot, or not cap
tured without that interesting process. Fa-
miliar with every circumstance in connection
with the affair, we pronounce this sympathy
not only false sympathy and out Of place, but
a wrong to Mr.. Gavjtt. Several Of our citi-
zens came up stairs directly after the shot was
fired. The burglar was laid on a mattrass,
and in the presence of these citizens, and in
answer to questions from Mr.. Gavitt, the man
said, supposing he was dying, he had come
up stairs for the purpose of robbery, had
brought the chisel to break open the trunk,
and that Gavitt did his duty in shooting him,
and was right. After the physician said he
might live, he refused to say or confess any
thing more, and then blamed Gavitt for shoot
ing him. Gavitt shot him i'm self-defence,
and as the only certain means Of preventing
his escape. He was right, and if any other
citizen under the same circumstances had
done other else, he would have acted impru-
DENLY, or been lacking in either nerve or
presence of mind.
Now we detest this absurd sympathy for
rascals who receive a severe punishment eli
ther when committing crime, or after the
deed. For years. at intervals, our city has
been infested with burglars. Yet, with prob.
ably one exception. they have eluded all eff
forts to capture them. During the last week
numerous burglaries have been committed
yet forsooth, because in the attempt to cap.
ture one in the very act of burglary, and he
notorious as thief, the man gets shot, there
are those who raise their hands in holy OIL
humane horror, and cry aloud at the muir.
derous disposition exhibited by the officer in
discharge of his duty. And thus are the
hands of our officers bound. Rebuke ava t:
them at every turn. Let not those complain
of robberies who are thus delicate abou
shooting robbers. Our officers have no dis
position to kill or main fo- the pleasure of it
but we hope they will not be deferred by tn.
over delicate stomachs of certain of thei
fellow citizens, from doing their duty, and il
the manner which seems TO them best.
AS Sheriff, we citizens have no claim upor
Mr.. Gavitt to act as city police officer
But he is determined to do everything in hi
power to put a stop to the hume: Gus theft
and burglaries which are being committee
in our midst. In this, he should have the ali
