Murder VIII Out.

1t will be remembered that, when the Fair
was held in this place, for the benefit OF the
Church, after supper, and while the " brothern
and sistern" were enjoying themselves in tread
ing the mazes of the giddy dance, some sacrl-
legious scamps felUniously entered the provision
room and stole, they STOLE" not sine child
away as the opera singer hath it, but large
number of cold roast chickens and nicely baked
pies, to say nothing OF large quantity of cake
Much effort was put forth to get upon the track
of the felonous scamps aforesaid but without
avail We think, however, we have at last
struck their first track, which, if followed up
with discretion, may lead to their detection
The subjoined letter, prepared apparently for the
use and behoof of the Lady Managers, was re-
Gently picked up in the street, and handed us
for such use as we saw fit to make of it. We
publsh-and may it result in the detection of
the aforesaid unfeeling wretches: y
LADIES Understanding that innocent parties
charged with purloining some pies, ETC.,
belonging to the Church Festival, we, in order
TO clear their skirts of the atrocious deed, take
it all upon ourselves and bring your plates back,
and at the same time assure you that we did not
purloin your pies for their intrinsic value. No,
far from that. We understood that the ''Pillars
of the Church" were going to draw cuts for the
fragments, and looking upon it as deed too
black to be handed down to posterity, or written
in the chronicles of Shasta, and deeming the
doers thereof as bad as the Jewish soldiers who,
after crucifying our Saviour cast lots for his
garments, deemed it our duty to prevent crilaa-
Of so black q nature And we think we have
done Heaven service, and acted good part
towards the Pillars of the Church Aforesaid
Now, dear friends we are willing to rest the case
with you and our consciences.
But before closing we will say one word con-
corning the pies, we consider ourselves Judges
of pastry, and pies in particular. Speaking of
pies it reminds us of the old darkey's dying
request 10 his son, which runs thus: Said he
:" My son, when you get to be man, and eat
pies, as hope you WILL always eat the crust
frst-'cause why it is bad stuff to top off with,
specially when it is as thick as your foot and MS
tough as sole leather"-whch was not the case
with all your pies some of them were little
too tender, especially those stuffed with pie
melon,-but the lady, be she young or old, who
made some of the mince pies, we mean those on
earthen plates, will ever have our best wishes.
p. 5. We would like to know something con-
cerning the poultry that was missing. Where
did they 90 to? Echo answers, where? We
wonder if any of the Pillars of the Church know
anything concerning them. Certainly you will
say not; but there is one thing eertain-if we
had been chickens, and endowed with the same
knowledge we now possess, (yelow-legged ones
in particuiar) we should have kept sharp look
out and got roost in some high and secluded
corner as it is a well known fact that preachers,
elders and deacons are very fond of that kind of
fowl. Yours truly, N. r. & S.
