The WAY TO DEAL WITH BURGLAR.--
Mr. Benjamin +. 'iurch has a drug store
i'll Boston. Saturday evenings rogue saw
him put large roll of bills into his pocket,
preparatory TO closing up. Mr.. Church
went home and retired, his room being in
the second story. Soon after he had gone
Ia sleep his wife noticed that the window
blinds had been opened, and looking
sharply, she disccrncu the form Of man ut
the foot of II lounge. We quote now
from the Boston Nruid: .
Mrs. Church at once cried out in Il loud
tone of voice, ben, Ben, there's Il man on
the lounge; take the pistol and shoot him
where he Hes Her scream awakened her
husband, who at first tried TO pacily her, he
thinking that She had been dreaming and
was badly frightened ut what she had seen
in her dream. In d joking way he continued
to talk to her, while The burglar, hoping he
would do so, cr0uchrd himself down into
lounge and the bureau. In the mean time the
brave little wife was getting her d;mder up
10 Il lighting pitch, and was Just about to 90
for Mr.. Burglar herself, when her husband,
being now fully awake, also noticed TINT
the blinds were open, and remembering
that the last thing be did before retiring
was to close and fasten them, he began to
think that his courageous wife was more
than half right; SO springing from the bed
he at once discovered the burglar III his
crouching position, and made for him. He
took him by the throat, and being d heavy,
strong man, ut once shut off his wind, and
then called upon his wife, who was up and
waiting for Instructions, to light tho gus.
This she promptly did, when tableau
