AN Old esroRY EN- Rours.AThst sam,

AN Old sSroRY EN- ROUTE. That same
story, at the very least thirty. five years old,
about how the boy saw his father Kill the
sheep, aud to show his little brother how it
was done, chopped said little brothers. head
off how the mother screamed, and how the
men, raising tho barn, let the heavy timber
fall, crushing four of them-is raked up ana
telegraphed in our neighbours " midnight des-
patches" from Chicago, and we copy it,.
This time the terrible happenings occurred
in Iowa. A few weeks ago they happened in
Ohio. About dozen years ago, the same
tragedy was enacted in New York, and thirty
or forty years ago the whole heart rending
catastrophe transpired in mountain town
in Vermont, and the story was then well told
in the Montpelier papers.-GrGnd Rapids

HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.--on wednesday,
of last week young man named Porter 's
hired horse and buggy at Ben Jewetts
stable for a couple of hours, but not
returning on time, Benz quietly started
several men on the war path, who searched
the country in every direction, and returned
empty banded. Finally Jewett himself
started in company with A. p. Truesdell
going toward Chicago, and captured the
thief about ten miles southwest of Darlington
Ill.,, with the horse He had pawned the
buggy at one place and the robe at another.
Jewett brought the young man to Kenosha
last Tuesday night, and procured boarding
place for him on Market Street, where he
will probably stay for short time and then
leave for Waupun to learn some other trade.
We understand the young man took the horse
and buggy to Chicago to dispose OF, but
couldn't find a purchaser and at time, SO
went back into the country. ~ ffttkkFs
