Our city was thrown into great excite
ment this morning on bearingthat Mr. CY.
RUS BEEBE. one of our most energetic
police officers, had been shot in an at
Tempt to arrest desperate burglar, who
had escaped lromthe Newark police. As
near as we can arrive at the facts they
appear to be these: Extensive burgaries
had been committed in Newark, and the
police officers succeeded in arresting the
robbers between Newark and Columbus.
A short distance west Of Union station

ed in reaching Etna on the turnpike,
where he hired private conveyance
and came 10 this city night before last,
stopping at the Scioto house, on the bank
of the canal, giving his name as Davis.
The robber who remained in the cars
told the officers that the man who jumped
off was a desperate character, and would
kill any man who attempted 10 arrest
him sooner Than be taken. at The same
time giving information where he could
be found.
This morning, about o'clock, officer
BEEBE, with the Newark police. proceeded
to the Scioo House, and inquired for
DAVIS. They were shown 10 his room
BEEBE knocked, and said he wanted the
dor opened, as he wanted 10 get some
clothes that were in the room. AtteI
some delay, DAVIS came to the door witt
pistol in his hand, telling the officer t.
"get out o! the way d-n you, or II
shoot you !" In the confusion and eX
citement, it is not known who fired; shot:

no one was hit. DAVIS, after getting dowI
stairs, tried to escape throug side doc
into the yard. BEEBE caught him by tn,
skirt OF his coat and held on to him un
til he got 10 the gate, leading into tn,

DAVIS having exhausted his three shot
from one single and one dauble barre
pistol, turned TO run, the officers from
Newark in pursuit. A number OF shot
we're fired after him, but it is thought al
missed him. He ran up the llarrisbur!
road. and over the bridge across th
Scioto. A number of persons were ate

not been taken.
We learn as we 60 10 press, that ;
large number of our citizens have hin

May Day.


OF all the seasons of the yJar we most admire il
"Thc month Of May
When the sun is rejoicing alone in heaven,
The clouds have all hurried away.
Down in the meadow the blossoms are waking,
Light on their twigs the young leaves are shaking
Round the warm knobs the the lambs are L. lcaping
The colt from his fold oer the pasture is sweeping
And on the bright lake.
The little waves break,
For there the cool west is at play"
Monday last was the lst day Of May, aud although
ii ws somewhat cool, and unlike the old fashioned
May-days we were used to in our youth, some Of
tho young folks of our place celebrated the day in 4
becoming manner, but have not rs yet learned who
was crowned the Queen of the May"

So in Christ she's made alive,
And will with him forever reign.
