THE GREAT BURGLARY IN NEW LONDON
On Thursday morning the sheriff of New Lon
don, Ct, arrested a man in Greenport on sus-
picion of having been implicated in burglary
in the former place. The largest dry goods
store in the town was entered on Tuesday night
the porter gagged and rendered insensible from
chloroform, the safe blown open, and $1,000 in
money and checks distracted. The thieves also
removed $4,000 worth of dry goods When the
sheriff, who has but one arm, took hold of the
man, the latter drew a pistol and threatened to
fire. In order to draw his pistol in selfdefence,
the sheriff had to release his hold, when the
man fed. The sheriff fired and struck him in
the left leg, and the burglar returned the fire,
but without effect. Thus the pursuit was kept
up until all the cartridges had been used.
A great crowd had joined the pursuit, and in
going through copse some Of the pursuers fell
over a man covered with leaves. The man
sprang to his feet and drew pistol, but was in.
stantly felled to the ground. Both men were Sc
cured and brought back to the village. The
man found under the leaves had three pistols
and bowie-knife on his person. In the after
noon boat was found in the channel with the
stolen property on board. One thousand dol
lars of the money was also recovered. The bur
glars were taken to New London.

We are accustomed to think that the poor
"white trash" in some of the southern states
are ruder, more ignorant, degraded and vicious
than any other specimens of the white race in
this country; but there are isolated COMMUNE
ties elsewhere quite as low in every respect
One such in Montgomery county, New York,
near the line of the New York Central railroad,
is described by the Rochester Democrat as hav-
ing probably the most ignorant set of people in
the north. The name of the town is Stone
Arabia; its people are of Dutch descent, and
the language of the country of their origin,
more or less corrupted, is handed down from
father to son. The people are not poor, but
wholly uneducated, shockingly profane in
language, and disgustingly coarse and filthy in
their habits. The women go clad mostly in
single garment, without shoes or stockings, and
are as brutally rude in language and manners
as the men. Although this village is but four
miles from the nearest station on the rail-
road there are hundreds of the people who have
never seen locomotive, and have never been
half mile from their farms in any direction
A stranger, if he happens to drift into the town.
is as much an object of curiosity as Capt Cook
was to the Pacific Islanders. Charles Eacker,
who was hung few days ago for the murder of
Thomas Burdich, was one Of the Stone Arabi-
ans, and his kindred had requested that his body
should be buried in the town. But when it was
brought there none of them would receive the
coffin into their houses. The women assaile5
the undertaken with fearful oaths and abuse, de
claring that if it were brought into the house
it would "spook" them. He at last left the body
ia an clubhouse and went his way. The pape
from which we condense these particulars pro
tests that the account is not in the least exag
gerated. Stone Arabia would seem to be a mis-
sionary field quite as destitute if not so promis
ing as any in Asia or Polynesia.

ZADoCK PRATT's MONUMENT AND TOMB
Any one who has visited the Greene and Ulster
districts of New York must have become famil.
lar with the name of Zadock Pratt of Prattsyille
On the banks of the Schoharie, which winds
through the green fields and among the wild
hills Of the southern Catskill range, lies the
quiet, prosperous little town which owes its exis-
tence to this remarkable man. There is the
bank which he established, the churches which
he built,-but which he did not trouble much
with his presence,-and there, above all, the
ruins OF what were the largest tanneres in the
country, the pioneer works in this now exhaust
ed hemlOck region, by which their owner rose
from poverty to wealth and power Tanning in
Greene is among the things of the past and
new industries are arising in its place; but the
name of Zadock Pratt cannot well be forgotten,
for the energetic, vain old man has carefully
guarded his memory from oblivion. Outside
the town rises bold, rugged hill, topped by a
crest OF rocks showing sharp outline against
the sky. Upon the face of the highest peak is
carved gigantic portrait of the great tanner;
below il is rude representation of his factory,
with an inscription in letters which can be read
for miles, Zone million sides Of leather tanned
in Pratts tannery in 1--WE forget how many
years." The whole hill is planted and cared for
like park; pathway winds among the rocks
to the summit, and here, just below the gro
tesque portrait, is deep chamber cut in the
solid stone and designed for the last resting
place of the ambitious lord of Prattsville.
| ABOVE its portal is carved his name: tZadock

The people of Dewitt village in onondaga
county, New York, had taste of war the other
day. A battery from Syracuse went out for
target practice in their vicinity and soon the
shells began to fall mile beyond the target
among the houses of the village. A gentleman
took refuge behind his house; but when a shell
struck it carrying away part of the cornice,
he chose the cellar place of greater security,
and with the rest of his family was kept prison.

about the place. The bombardment ceased
about nightfall. Dewitt hopes that the next
time the place is shelled declaration of wal

MONDAY, JUNE 5. 1871.

In San Francisco, last Thursday, there was al
occurrence which is described by telegraph, al
follows "a gang of boys stoned to death al
iuoffensive Chinaman, on Fourth street, thi.
afternoon; dozens of people stood looking on
but nobody interfered" If this had been done
to an American, in Canton or Shanghai, by
Chinese, it would have a wide publication, and
all the particulars would be set forth in the most
effective terms and it would be used to show
that the buccaneer policy is necessary in dealing
with China. But it was done by Americans to
"heathen Chinee," in San Francisco where
such doings are not uncommon; and this "makes
a difference"

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION
has q double anniversary in September next.
Then closes the twenty-ffth year of its existence
and the tenth of its work among the freedmen.
1t was organized at Albany, Sept 3, 1896 as an
instrument of the Christian benevolence of
many earnest people who were unwilling to
contribute to the funds of the great missionary
and benevolent societies then existing, because
those societies would not declare their disap-
proval of slavery. Its for egn missions were es-
tablished in western Africa, in Siam,
the Sandwich Islands, and among the
Indians of the northwest. But the home
missions were always more numerous, and since
1861, when its special work among the freedmen
began, that has absorbed nearly all the energies
of the association. 1t has now three hundred
and nine missionaries and teachers employed,
having the charge of thirty-eight churches,
sixty-three common schools, seventeen graded
schools, and seven institutions chartered as col
leges, universities, &C., in all of which %, 1924
pupils received instruction during the year
Prominent among these institutions is the nor
NAL and agricultural institute at Hampton, Vir-
GINA, whose claims General Armstrong pre-
scented to some Of our citizens some little time
ago.
The last ten years have destroyed slavery and
established freedom. 1t is for the future to say
what shall be the fate Of the negro and of those
communities in which the colored man forms
large part of the population. The baleful infu
ences Of slavery have left them ignorant and de-
graded morally and intellectually. The only
safety for them or for the nation is to make them
intelligent and yirtuous. In this work the mis-
sionary association has already done much, and
its work has been SO wisely directed and SO faith
fully performed as to command the confidence
and praise of all who have had the opportunity
10 observe its operation. Free common schools,
is TO be hoped, will be provided in
al the states under state laws or by
lhe operation of a national educational system.
Dut lot institutions of higher grade the freed
men must be largely dependent upon the en-
nghtened philanthropy and Christian patriot
htn Oh their northern friends. The aid hereto

PEELED to curtail its work. The indifference -.

supporting teachers, and the rapid advancement
of the pupils call for increase instead of con
traction. The association should not lack fund,
