~ Seven years ago London bank
was robbed of 911,000 by a fellow
named Jones, and so well had he laid
his plans that he made good his escape
with his booty. Bnt the police of Lon
don never forgot his great crime. The
robbers family was placed under sur
VIGILANCE, and when, trusting that time
had effaced the recollection of the rob-
berry from the public mind, they ven
tnred, two weeks ago, to sail to Cana
da to meet the guilty husband and fa-
ther, from whom they had been so long
separated, the sleuth hounds of justice
accompanied them. On Thursday there
was a happy family meeting in Toron-
to-the sorrow of seven years separa-
ton was swept away in blissfnl reuni-
on--when the tender scene was rudely
interrupted by several unpoetical po-
licemen, who took the crestfallen Jones
into custody to answer for his appar-
emily forgotten crime.

A. Porter. and Bart. Curl. 1t was resolved that
NJ V. Brown was the choice of the Convention
for the ofieeof State Printer. This last resolve
didn't set well on the stomacbs of the bedrockers,
as they don't like men who are even tainted with
the suspicion of having at any time served as one

old stand -bys-men who have stood right up to
the Democratic rack, through thick and thin,
fodder or no fodder-were snubbed and utterly
ignored by the Convention, must be consoling to
the recipients. But they insist that they are NOT
