acter, which startled the boys and also
put the owner Of the orchard on the
trail of the thiefs. He had no difficulty
in keeping within range of the melod-
ious voice of the animal, and thus sue
ceeded in finding their residence. The
boys were subsequently arrested for
their depredations, and dealt with ac-
cording to law.
Thieves should take warning and not
travel upon such animals, for it Is diff
cult to tell ut what time or place they
may display their musical attachments,
and thus convict the offenders upon
what might be called jack-ass evidence.
! A SUDDEN DEATH.-Last Thursday,
as Mr.. Geo. Lewis, of New Liberty, was
returning home from Davenport, when
in the vicinity Of Hickory Grove, he was
seen to fall from his load of lumber be-
tween the wheels of his wagon. A man
just ahead of him fastened to the spot,
and lifted him up, when in few mo-
1 ments he breathed his last. His wagon
was then unloaded and he was carried
home. 4 messenger was sent ahead to
break the sad news to his family-a wife
and five small children. Though the
blow fell with crushing force it was sus-
tanned with noble christian resignation
by his companion. DIR. Cotton was call
ed upon to examine the body, and he
pronounced it Il case of hermorrhage of
the lungs, and this together with his
fall was the cause Of his death. Mr..
Lewis had long been afflicted with the
asthma and was often troubled with
bleeding ut the lungs. With a noble
! fortitude he had gone beyond his
/ strength that he might make his family
comfortable. 1t was u touching specta-
Gle to see that faithful father, covered
with dust, brought home corpse
brought right from the busy labOrs of
life just us he fell in the discharge of his
duties; but he was not unprepared. He
was consistent member of the Metho-
dist church, a man Of quiet life, with
unass,iming piety, and was ready for the
summons which ushered him so quickly
out OF suffering and toll, into happiness
and rest. On account of ill-health his
family were left in very destitute cir
cumstances. The funeral was attended
by the writer on Saturday, and on Sab
bath Il proposition from him to raise one
hundred dollars for the bereavcd family
was heartily responded to, so that in a
| few moments more than the amount
called for was raised. Such an act of be-
nevolence is worthy of all praise, and
/ we feel that the family will never suffer
among people Of such warm sympa-
thies.
