A SMART BoY.-The Worcester SIN saws
that Isaac b. Patch. lad not ~ years old, who
has been living four years with his uncle, Solo
mon Is. Towne of Westminster, stole from him
four weeks ago, note, money and silver ware
valued at 1880 and went to Boston where he
was arrested while attempting to dispose of the
stolen property. He confessed his crime, and
was sent home in charge of the conductor but
escaped at Groton Junction and returned by
the next train to Concord, and let himself to
work there with Mr. Phelps lie was soon
suspected and sent to an officer in Fitchburg,
who was absent when the boy arrived and
through some oversight he again escaped. The
next morning he took the Cheshire train and
avoided the conductor till he arrived at Fitz-
william, N. H., where he was detected, confess
ed again, and sent back in charge of the con-
ductor. lie escaped from the train at Ash
burnham and let himself to basket maker in
the town under the assumed name of George
Clark. He remained there six days, when on
learning that his real name had been discovered,
he took that night horse and wagon owned
by Elijah Gross and went TO Dea. Aliens in
Westminster, where he stad over night On
being questioned he told the deacon that his
parents had recently died and that was the part
of the property which fell to him, but before
the deacon's people were up the next morning
he had left without paying his bill. He pro-
cccded to North Orange and stopped at the
hotel for dinner, and having had such good sue
cess with the deacon, he whitcwashed the land
lord with the same story, adding that he was
going to sec his uncle at Bellows Falls and af-
ter demanding his bill, said he would pay it on
his return lie finally reached Bellows Falls,
where he was ovcrtakcn on Sunday by Mr.
Gross, the owner of the stolen team, who had
him arrested and taken to Fitchburg. On
Tuesday he pleaded guilty to all the charges
brought against him, and was committed to Jail
for trial at the next term of the criminal court
for that county.

To NEWSPAPER CoRREsPONDENTS.-A one
who has had the most limited experience in
editing newspaper, has suffered from the ig-
norance or carelessness of those who have con-
tributed articles for publication. When COR
respondent furnishes facts which are of sufii-
cient Importance to he elaborated into an item
the editor gladly undertakes to put them in
readable shape; bat when he receives long
communication, ungrammatcal in its compost
ton, incorrectly spelled and devoid of punctua-
ton, with capital letters thrown in as it were at
random and then is requested to "correct all
mistakes" as the writer chad not time to re-
write it," he is justified in uttering occasional
growl of discomfort. ]. T. BUCKINGHAM, the
Nestor of New England editors, has but given
utterance to the experience of every editor in
the following paragraph, which is brimfull Of
truth -
"Many persons who condesccnd 10 ilmmne the
dark world with the spark ngs of their genius through
the columns of "A newspaper and others who publish
sermons and trncts-rcgious moral and political
little think Of the labor Of the printer, who (perhaps
nearly sunocated with the smoke n lamp, and with
aching head, and ewes inflamcd and encebcd from
intense appcntion) sits up till midnight, till day
light, to correct his false grammar, bad photography
and worse pune unon. I have seen the arguments
of lawyers who stood in high reputc scholars, sent
to the printer in their own NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
which would defy the sagacity Of the most invetcrate
investigator Of ancient yphics-abounding with
technical and foreign terms abbreviated, words mis-
spelled, and few or no. points, and those few entirely
misplaced once saw the manuscript Of a sermon
in the hands of printer which entirely without
points, and every line begm with capital letter as
II it had been poetry. Suppose tiieec productions
had been printed rs they were written; the disgrace
would have fallen upon the printer. Nobody would
believe that such gross and palpable faults were
ing to the careessncSs Of the author; and ono but
n practical printer knows how many hours a compos
itor-and, after him, proofrcader-s compelled to
spend in reducing to readable condition. manuscripts
which the writers themselves would be puzzled to
read with propriety."

READ THE lTEMs.-itev. Henry Ward Beech
err says of the "items column in the newspa-
pers, that it sis worth more than all the small
fry of correspondents, with an editor thrown in
to boot. Like caravan, it stretches along in
columns, with packages and parcels, spices and
gems, bits of fragrance or cunningly wrought
metals, gathered from the Orient and from the
whole world besides. The items of paper,
like the stufiing of Thanksgiving turkey, rep
resent everything in the house, crusts of bread,
crackers and all spices"
