Rags and Crime.

In an autobiography of an apprentice
occurs the following passage, the truth Of
which can hardly be doubted: II fell
myself as much inferior to we'll dressed
boys, as my clothes were worse thar
theirs. / believe that many boy has
been ruined in consequence Of being poor
ly clad. He feels himself degraded--anc
well-dressed boys are apt to despise anc
ridicule him, and drive him away from
amongst them. This awakens in his mind
an envious animosity, and often prompts
him to avenge his own wrongs by wrong
ing others. I have had experience in
these things; and I think that parents
and masters should by all means, keep
the children they have in charge, in de-
cent, whole and clean garments. Rags
and dirt have laid the foundation of
crime and misery, for many poor

Eay The Clarion (Pa.) Banner say

Eay The Clarion (Pa.) Banner says
that the house of Mr.. William Rhoads
took fire during his absence on the night
of the 18th ult., and four Of his boys,
one aged about 20 years, perished in the
flames. They were sleeping in cham
ber in the second story; the mother with
FIVE other children were sleeping below.
The Banner says: t...a
When Mrs. Rhoads awakened, she ran
to the kitchen and discovered that the
stairs were burned away, and, as mat
ter Of course, all escape for her children
in the loft was cut off. She got out four
OF those below and then tried to gel into
the loft from the outside, but failed, the
flames being too strong. and no doubt the
children were dead. At this fearful mo-
ment she remembered that her youngest
child was still in bed, and she rushed in
amidst the flames and smoke, and snatch
ing the babe from its bed, escaped safely
beyond the reach of the burning build
ing. 1t was terrific moment for that
poor mother.

A Thurlngian Butcher.

An extraordinary affair is related in a
Frankford Journal: A female after be.
ing twenty -one years in the service Of a
butcher at Frankennausen, in Thuripgia,
left him few evenings back, taking with
her sum OF two hundred thalers, which
she had saved up. After walking some
distance she met two gendarmes, and
after telling them that she had the mons
ey in question in her pocket, expressed a
fear that, as night had set in, she might
be robbed in wood through which she
had to pass; but the officers told her that
there was no danger, as they had just
been in the wood and had seen no suspi.
cious characters. A few minutes after,
one of the gendarmes, acting under an i'm
pulse for which he could not well account
returned to the wood to see if the woman
had passed through it safely, and to his
horror, hefound her lying murdered in a
pool OF blood. Near her was knife, with
which the crime had evidently been per.
petrated; and as it was one of those which
butchers use, he conceived the suspicioun
that the murderer might be the woman's
master. He, accordingly, rode at once
to the butchers house, and seating him.
self at table, asked to be allowed to
eat his supper. At the same moment he
placed the bloody knife before him, and
one Of the butchers children cried,
"That is our knife" Two or three min.
utes after the butcher himself entered.-
He turned deadly pale On seeing the
knife and the officer. When accused Of
the murder he could not deny his guilt,
and gave up the two hundred thalers
which he bad taken from the woman.--
He has been ordered for trial

Sad Picture of Matters in Iowa.

We find the following in the Lexington,
Kentucky Observer:
Those Of our citizens contemplating
moving to the North or Northwest had
better ponder we'll before doing SO. Let
them read the extract Of letter from a
gentleman Of high standing residing in
Iowa. and think if the change is desir.
able one: ,u.
"Do not trade for anything in the way
of real estate within the limits of the
State Of Iowa; with a view Of selling it at
any price within the next FIVE years.
The value Of land is nominal; you
may count it at 1925 or $40; neither
price would bring cash. l have just sold
lands bought in the country north Of your
county, for which l paid $40 in 1857,
(good lands), at 50 per acre, and that in
trade.
I consider lands anywhere within the
limits Of this State, unimproved, dear al
Sl,25 per acre, except in counties border
ing on the river. ....#sen
No man living out of this State can
have anything like correct idea Of tn e
after hopelessness Of the state Of things
in Iowa. Speculation has been the ruin
Of the State. The river towns are 50
fiat that they never can get up again
until there is an entire change Of fpopula-
.ion. Towns themselves are so hope.
lessly in debt that they can never get a
start again unless by paying of indebt-
edness by reputation. This place which
contained population in 1851 Of $4,000,
is now reduced to less than 10000, and
people leaving just as fast as they can
get money to get away upon. The place
is in debt one million and quarter
and she. as well as Dubuque ct al, along
the river, are now talking Of repudating
So don't own lands in Iowa if you can
avoid it. 1t will make you just that
much poorer.

in the United States Hotel, and, despite
every effort. the building, in few hours,
was one mass Of smouldering ruins,
though, we are happy to state, that the
entire furniture was saved with but little
damage. The fire is supposed to be &C.
cidental, and originated somewhere be-
tween the kitchen ceiling and roof. The
house was just undergoing repairs, under
the superintendance Of its new landlord,
Mr.. Gray, who had just moved into it,

Mr.. Philip Loebrick, the former landlord,

Damages estimated at $4,000. Besides
this damage, Mr.. Lobrick will sustain
quite a heavy loss in the removal Of his
furniture and goods from the adjoining

A Modern Miracle,

The Sandusky Register says: IA cor
respondent from Vermillion furnishes us
with the following particulars of mira-
Gle which occurred near that place short
time since. II may be true, but it sounds
like spiritual romance:
A little over four years ago black.
smith living at Cherry Tree Corners,
about four miles from Vermillion, was Sc
verely kicked by a horse while shoeing
the animal. Since that time until very
recently, the man has been unable to
walk step, or leave his chair without
assistance. About two months since the
blacksmith, whose name is Willard, had
dream or vision, directing him to be
baptised by immersion at time and place
designated. if he desired to be cured of
his malady. Mr.. w. stated the circum-
stances to his family and reighbors, de-
claring his determination to strictly com.
ply with the requirements Of his vision.
He expressed the utmost confidence in
his restoration. The affair created con.
siderable excitement in the neighborhood
and became the principal topic Of conver.
sation for miles around. On the appointed
day, the 22d Of March, several hundred
people gathered at a point on Choppe
Creek, where the ceremony was to tak'
place. Mr.. Willard arrived at the place
punctual to the hour and was taken from
his carriage to the bank of the stream
Two acquaintances Of Mr.. Willard, ex
pressed their willingness to assist in the
solemn rite, and taking the sick man ir
their arms they walked into the water
He was immersed in the usual manner
and when be arose to his feet he cried il
loud voice: "Glory to God! I told you
it would cure me. All that was required
was faith" &c. Mr.. Willard then walked
unattended from the water and recevst

tude who crowded around him. Hi

The Western Cattle Tradc-A Venerable
Pioneer.

| Pioneer.
We learn that there is now coming over
the the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad a
lot Of sixty one head Of cattle from South
ern Ohio, which are owned by Mr.. George
Renick, of Chillicothe, about whose his.
tory we have gathered some interesting
facts, which we think worthy Of being
presented to our readers. George Renick
who has been long, widely and favorably
known as successful breeder Of cattle
was born in l776. Emigrated, 1897, to
now Ross City, and from thence, 1907,
to Olio. To Mr.. Renick is due the credit
Of being the first individual who ever
drove fat cattle over the Alleghanies 10
Baltimore. This he did as far back as
the year 1895, little dreaming that he
would live to see the day when he could
transport his stock over the grand route
in a less number days than it took him
weeks.
The time Mr.. Renick occupied in driv.
ing his cattle over the Alleghanies to
Baltimore was thirty.fve days. This
lot is said to be the last lot which the
pioneer drover Of the Alleghanies intends
rearing. The stock is very superior, we
are informed, and was originally con-
signed to New York, but on the old gem
tleman mbering that it was to Balti-
more he consigned his first cattle changed
their destination, and, availing himself Of
of the simple facilities now afforded by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co.
for the transportation Of this description
of freight, made bis last consignment to
TO Baltimore. The manners, dress, GUS
toms, ETC., Of Mr.. Renick are of the last
century, and to illustrate some Of his Pc
culiarties, we may mention that. in the
latter part Of the year 1904, he paid his
first subscription to the National Inteli-
gencer newspaper, and since that time up
20 the present he has read no other paper
the American, part of the time, ex-
cepted. He is still in the enjoyment Of
good health, and much respected by all
who know him for his probity in business
transactions, as well as private life.-
When the weather permits, the old gen.
teman may be seen taking his ride to the
post office for his Inteligencer, and al
though he is about giving up the rearing
of cattle himself, he may yet live to see
bis sons (also favorably known in the same
business) send many good lot of cat
tie over tie Alleghanies-but not on foot.
