THIEvERY.-Some of the good people of
harthaus township, it seems, have of late been
subjected to the depredations of a pack of
thieves, who thus far have eluded detection.
Some three weeks ago, or 8 bushels of bnck-
wheat were stolen from the barn of Henry
Hothers; ;>since then Is bushels of oats and 8
or bushels of buckwheat were stolen from
Joseph Yothers; Benz. Gunsaulus had several
bushels of chop taken from his barn; and Geo.
Hcckendorn had five or six hams stolen from
him the day after he had purchased them. We
trust the rascals who are engaged in this pill
fesiag islay soon be detected and punished.

DRowNED.-On Wednesday, 23d inst, boy
named Teats, son of Wm. Teats, of Karthaus
township, this county, was drowHed ia the
Susquehanna near Salt Lick. 1t seems that
he and another boy, named Hummel, had gone
to Salt Lick on an errand, and on their return
home, formed small .'dog rafts' and started
down the River. By some means they were
thrown from the raft, and young Teats, being
unabse to swim, was drowned. The other
Swan to shore, and returned home with the til
dings. Search was made, and Oh Friday the
body was found in ButGrmilk Fails 1t was
partly out of the water, with the hands clasped
aTmly around some bushes at the bank 1t
seems he had been too much exhausted to
reach the shore altogether

the store of E. A. Irwin, at the .scorner,, in

the bar, then did the same thing at trap-door
over the cellar steps, and gained entrance
TO the ware-room. Failing to open the door
between the latter and the store-room, they
made their exit, bored through shutter of the

Key. They left two hickory clubs behind them

Picious characters had been seen in the eve

track and pursued them to Port Matilda Cen.

A Word TO WRITERs.-Never ask an editor
who has rejected your manuscript. his reasons
for 80 doing. If he chooses to inform YOU take
the criticisms without debate. An editor is
often obliged to decline articles which person.
ally he would be glad to publish, because he
thinks them not such as his readers may desire,
or fer other reasons equally valid. Remember
an author usually sees merits in his article not
perceptibe to others, while there may be de-
fects 10 il Of which he Is not aware. 1t should
be considered that an EDITORS time has been
consumed 10 the examination, and that to AJAX
more would be to demand that which should be-
devoted to his readers. He has undoubtedly
reasons for the rejection which to him are sat-
isfactory. Accept the fact In kindly spirit,
reeollecting that what these reasons are is of no
very vital Importance to you.

A SINGULAR Bet AND ITS REsULTs.-One of
the most singular wagers we ever heard OF,
SAYS Western paper, was mado In Chicago on
the day before the municipal election In that
city, on Wentworth and Gurnee, the opposing
candidates for the Mayorality. The bet was
between q Water street merchant and Ned
Osborne, Of the fremont House, the largest
cigar and tobacco dealer 10 the city, and was
to the effect that, If Wentworth was elected,
Osborne should have the privilege of kicking
the Water street merchant from the fremont
House 10 Springer street and Vice versa. The
day after the election, the merchant having lost,
went to Ohborne's store, and presented his
person to him for the contemplated kicks, and
demanded that Osborne should take the stakes.
Osborne bad been training his right leg all the
previous day, aud armed his foot with heavy
cowhide boot, with soles as thick as two clap
boards. The merchant started up by the Tre-
mont, Osborne delivering heavy kick as he
started, but drew back with spasmodic action
and paroxism Of countenance absolutely pitiful.
He tried another one, but the loser fiinched not,
aud kept leisurely on his way, undisturbed by
the volley he had received. The result of this
was worse than the first, and Osborne fairly
curled upon the ground and howled with pain.
The merchant stopped, and calmly inquired.
Why don't you take the stakesP" "What
have you got in the basement Of your pants? "
cried Ned. "Mlwaukie brieks!" shouted the
merchant, "and We arn't within a mile of
Springer street yet" Osborne subsidized, paid
the champaign, and has been wearing list
slipper ever since.

DEATH or MIsER-"THE RULING PASSION
STRONG IN DEArH."-Gershom Twitchell, the
last member of q singular family, died at Mil
ford, Mass, Friday, June 29th aged sixty.four.
Twitchell was wealthy Ia money and real es-
tate--owning one of the most beautiful farms
In Milford, and go near the village as to make
il Of great value. Notwithstanding bis large
possessions, he has lived in state of apparent
poverty and deprivation that would try the
most abject. 1t was anticipated from his
habits and frequent expressions, that large sums
Of money were secreted about the premises.
and as he died rather suddenly aud unattended
by any connexion, the Overseers of the Poor,
deeming Il their province to secure for his
legitimate heirs the silver and gold on hand,
made thorough search. They found large
amount deposited in pine box and bag The
silver In the box was nicely adjusted In layers
Of dollars, halves, quarters, and smaller coins.
In the bag was heavy amount Of gold The
specie was taken to the Milford Bank for safe
Keeping. When In the embrace of death, the
last words almost that the poor miser uttered
were TO neighbor who stood by him, to leave
tho room for fear he would steal the money.
Thus was the "rulng passion strong in DEATH"
The home Of this man was bowel, aud buried
10 bis thirst for gold, to count and worship, he
spent his days, and died "unwept, unhonored,
and unsung." His wife left him many years
ago, and quite recently, for stipulated sum,
gave bonds that she would make no claim upon
any property be possessed.

BRASS.


The man who depends on the wealth Of his pocket
Must rise and fan like the shining rocket,
But heart like gold and an iron VIII
And face of brass are the things to fulhl
The wisest purpose the sagest plan,
That ever entered the mind Of man.
You may read in the eye that never quails
OF the dauntless spirit that never fails-
Little he knows Of ups and Downs"
Little he knows OF Fortunes frowns,
Who whatever he finds 10 do,
Has plenty Of brass to carry him through.
Many man of wit and letters
Deems unworthier men his betters
Loses the words he had meant TO speak,
Acts ungraccful and foolish and weak
Lacking the metal that doth surpass
Every other--the shining brass.
Ho who carries the boldest face
Wins his way TO the highest place,
While the wiser man Of the timid mein
May be lost in the crowd, unheard--unseen,
Marveling much at what comes to pass
Through the magic power Of the shining brass.
Others may tell of the golden ore,
Praise and exalt II all metals before,
But as brazen metals surpass the tin,
SO the man with the brazen face shall win
The enyied top Of the lofty hill,
II he keeps at work with an iron will.
