Marseiles was returning from church on re-
cent Sunday, when she heard steps behind her
and felt some one take her hand ana draw it
under his arm. Turning round she saw a

stranger to her. She tried to draw away her
arm, but the unknown held il 6rmly, and
said with an air Of the greatest politeness,-
" Madame, I am thief, and am closely pnr-
sued by the police. They know I am stTan-
ger in the town, and will never suspect me il

Two negroes, named, Tom Young and Bob
Gum, were hung in Hillsboro', Orange cotn-

was committed for the purpose Of robbery.
Young Balock was employed in keeping bar m

night about Sis. The negroes called after
he had closed up, under pretence Of wanting
drinks, and when they were admitted murder
ed him in the most brutal manner by bseaking
his skull with a cos-wheel, strangling him
with rope, and cutting his throat. They
then robbed the till, and escaped. They were
soon after arrested and brought to justice.

says: "Idaho has milling and manufacturing
facilities and water power equal to that of any
other Territory, and any State in the Union"
This is not only true, but is truth that ought
to be well known everywhere. All that is
needed to develop these material resources of
wealth, power and greatness is for practical
mill men and manufacturers, having capital, or
able to control capital, to come and see for
themselves. Idaho at present needs grist and

was seated some distance off, rushed up, and,
in rather peremptory terms, demanded slice.

BIG SIoRIEs.-There is an old man living in

which surpasses it. To give you an instance
One day he killed a common striped or gar.

he came home TO dinner he told his employer
that he had killed the biggest striped snake h.
