1t is said that the apple crop of Orleans
county, iu the State of New York will a.
mount to l30, 900 barrels, and that a
profit Of $3.50 600 will be made by the
farmers upon it.

Burglar Arrested.

John MoSher, German, was arrested, on
Monday last, for The robbery of p & J. Mil
ler's store, which occurred some six weeks
since. A liberal scattering of new boots a.
mons the .|rienGSchgf created suspicion, and
a search warrant revealed wholesale dis
play of bleached and unble?ched muslins,
drllilngs, diaper, calico, coat lining, bed tick
ing, cassimer, bro4d cloth, delane, cotton fan
mel, handkerchefs, bed check, linnen check,
Oh article called petticoat but which we
don't know the use Of, lot of calico patches,
boots md shoes, teapot, cream jug and a.
bout l3 and hslf yards of jean, nearly all
ef which was recognized by the Messrs. Mil
Ter as their property. John had hearing
before Mr.. Justice Dutot, who committed him
to prison to await his trial al the December
Sessions A further prosecution OF the search
the next day, brought to light number of
feed bags Belonging to other parties which re-
vealed the fact that John had carried on the
iced business in connection with the dry good
and crockery line. Should he be found gull
ty, sojourn at Cherry Hill will doubtless
put him in the way OF earning IN honest live

number of years, and has always been ac-
counted an honest man. What a pity he did

Take ye this picture to my wife--and on that
bloody field.
Tell her how rainly there we fought, nor to
the foe would yield;
Bat silent, grim and stern!y, as We gave back
blow for blow,
Met our deaths calmly, proudly, and heard
the waters flow,
Bearing soldiers. dying comrades, whom their
friends still hope TO see
The rivers dark aud chilly wave their sepul-
chre will be.
Tell her ne'er forgot her in the carnage
and the smoke
Ny thoughts were last of her at night, and
when the morning broke,
| whispered then her name in prayer, and Oft
while others slept,
Ny thoughts would wander TO my home, and
have prayed and wept,
That might safe return once more and clasp
her in my arms
When hushed would be the battles din, and
silent wars alarms.
Tell her thought of our loved hOme-the
meadow and the lawn
The cottage standing meath the hill-the,
place where was born
Where we grew up and loved each other.
and played together there;
And tell her that blessed her each evening
in my prayer.
And though die from her and home, my last
words TO her tell,
And bear my dying blessing-my long and
last farewell
