Fearful Scene ina n BED zsOOm-A
KObber Shot 20 Pieces.

The Dayton (Ohio) Journal is responsible
for the following: The hope is frequently
expressed by parties in interest" and es
peciaily by the ladies. that the sneakthieves
who are occasionally detected crawling
through peoples houses at midnight, in
search of spois, will get ball holes put
through them. II is the very general desire
OF the householders that these scoundrels
shall come across fellows with pistols in
their hands, and who are not afraid to use
them. Here is an item which will delight
those people Who have been waiting and
watching to learn of these dreadful villains
getting shot. A few nights ago Smith and
his wife went out to spend the evening with
Jones and his wife. They returned home st
a late hour, to find that, while Biddy had
permitted the fire in their bed room stove to
90 out, she had kept up the fire iG the grate
in the sitting room and while Mrs. Smith
dallied short time 10 the genial atmosphere
of the sitting room to arrange her toilet
for the night, Smith, who was rather sleepy.
went in advance to their bed room up stairs.
smith was in excellent humor, having bes-
ten Jones ct o game of chess, although Mrs.
! Jones had aided Jones to take both his cas-
| ties, and cheekmate his king twice and he
was engaged in whistling a. tune-that is,
| IL the rather uncertain sound Smith makes
when he FUCKERS his lips and blows, or
blubbers. can be properly termed whlstling
tune But this is not .. musical criticism.

sion at the back of the roof, which will di'
vide the vertebre and cause immediate
death after which hang the fowl up by the
legs till the bleeding ceases; then rinse the
beak out with vinegar and water. Fowls
