HAD THEM FoUL.-A few nights ago gen.
tleman living in Gorham was about retiring
to rest at a very late hour. For some time
preyious to retiring he had sat in the moon
light, which was very brilliant, without light
ing lamp. AS he passed the window he
glanced out and saw plank which was placed
SO as to run from window in the ell of the
house to an adjoining outbuilding, and which
did not belong there. Watching a few mo.
ments he saw the figure of man creeping
along the plank and finally enter the ell. Be-
ing brave man, he got out his revolver, loaded
it, and then quietly left the house and went to
the window in the outbuilding and awaited
the return of the burglar. Pretty soon he saw
him come creeping along the plank. He was
about to raise the revolver when his eye caught
sight of a long rope with a moose in it, in the
room. Standing on one side he held the moose
so that the burglar thrust his head into it as
he came along, and the situation so frightened
him that he fell to the ground. Holding the
rope tightly in his hand, what was our fNend' S
surprise to see another burglar creeping over
the plank Quick as lightning he threatened
to blow out the brains of burglar No. 2 if he
didn't make moose in the other end of the
rope he threw to him, our friend still holding
the rope at the middle Burglar No. did SO,
when the gentleman drew them up to him so
that he could see who they were, when what

sound advice he let them so, and they SUNK
off, glad enough to escape so easily.

THE STRIKE AT LA CRENZoT.


PARIS, Jan. 21.-The strike of operators at
La Cren LOT still continues and is making a
profound sensation throughout the country on
account of the large number of men concern
ed in it. 1t is feared by the government that
the example the strikers have set will be fol-
lowed elsewhere; and this is not all. 1t was
supposed that the strike was brought about by
revolutionary agents, and this idea is strength
ened from the fact their numbers ale increas
ing and their demands becoming more and
more unreasonable. La Crenzot is one of the
greatest iron manufacturing towns in Europe
and this detection of the workmen is entailns
heavy losses, which increase every day. The
primary cause of the strike was change in
the general direction of affairs, to which the
workmen objected. They pettioned for the
reinstatement of the old direction, which was
refused.
ATERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

whereby several of the miners were killed.
This has had a tendency to increase the gene

has been greatly increased by the distribution
