On Friday evening of last week, Just
before dusk, as our fellow townsman, VIM
]. Hall, Esq, was sitting alone in his
room, some fend in human shape stealth
lily entered his room, dealt him a heavy
blow on the head with a club or some
other heavy instrument, which felled him
to the floor, and knocked him senseless
for the time being, took from his pocket
his pocket-book, containing about $50.
which he appropriated to his own use and
decamped. Mr.. Hall gave the alarm as
soon as he regained his senses, but no clue
to the perpetrator was discovered. He
has since been confined to his room most
of the time, and has badly swollen and
blackened face and head. He is over 20
years old and lives alone. 1t is hoped the
scoundrel will not long so undetected, but
will yet be found out and receive his Just
reward Upper S0''dtsky Union.

Returned % the Fold.

Our readers may remember that about
two years ago We chronicled the sudden
departure from his good home, of John
Boerner, oldest son of the Baker, in the
cassidy block, in our town John took
the cars two years ago on Monday then
only l3l years old, Anxious inquiries
were made, and constant were the solici-
tude and mourning of the good parents
He was a good boy, kind and obedient,
and the oldest born. No tiding was heard
Of him, and at times he was mourned as
dead, and then again hope reviving the
good father and mother expected to see
him again But no word came during these
two long years Once, word came a boy
was killed on the railroad near Mansfield,
and the yearning parents went, but found
the clething and description did not suit.
So time passed and hope was unfulflled,
till Monday, when John, the same John,
but with two years more of healthy farm
growth on him, stepped into his fathers
old home Great was the Joy and agreea-
ble the surprise in the household for the
lost in that fold had returned
John had fallen into good hands-had
been working on a farm in Yerk State,
pailed regularly his eight COWS, ploughed,
hoed, made hay, &c. Once having left
home he feared to return, not knowing the
anxiety of his good father and mother,
but now confesses his own, saying, not an
hour of his waking moments but he tho't
of home and the dear ones there.
