The "slarpers," We arc told, are "taking
in" the green ones" at the Fair. The only
thing that distinguishes their manner OF
stealing from that of the "pickpOckets,' y
who also abound, is the distinction between
publ and pirate. The latter must do his
work clandestincly-th former dcpredatcs
upon his victims purse before his face.
Law, ostcnsibly me,.- :or the protection
Of property, too often throws its shields
around the private robbcr by taking
upon itself the burden of proof" 1t is
probably well, lest the innocent should
sometimes suffer. But It IS strange that of
this villainoas system Of robbery, where
the proof is clear as noon-day, it takes no
cognizance, or, if it docs, it is not apparent.
The worst feature of this thicving pro-
cess is not the swindling the victim out of
his money, but the perilous, probably fatal
attempt at the pillage of his morals.

OBITUARY.
FRosTBURG, OCT. Is, 1871.
Rev. L. LLEwELLYN, Pastor of the Welsh
Baptist Church, preached Funeral Sermon
of young laborer in the vineyard of our
Lord, ID. DAVIES, who died on the 18th OF
September, last, in the Borden Shaft Mines
The words taken by our worthy minister
as his text arc as follows We all do fade
as lcaf"-Isaiah Xiv. 6.
Like the leaf We fade away;
All are hasting to decay;
Every day some charm is gone,
Till they vanish, one by one.
Youth, with hasty strides. docs pass,
And it withers like the grass.
Then of mis-spent time beware.
For thy God not long may spare.
Catch each minute as it flies,
That some good from it may rise.
Then what hour you re called away,
You will be blessed with endless day.
w. E. L.,
A member of the Welsh Baptist Sunday
School.

Under this caption the Baltimore San
remarks: &c.
obstructive as the Chicago fire W; 8, the
calamity, especially rs regards the loss of
life, would have been far more appalling if
it had occurred before the era of railways
and telegraphs. BY that wonderful agency,
the telegraph, the voice of the mayor, ap-
pealing for aid, was heard for distance of
thousand miles in less time than it could
be conveyed, without Geographic connl,l-
nication, from one end of his own city to
tie other; and in few hours trains were
flying from all quarters, almost with the
speed of the wind, bringing the desired as
sistance Before the daysof electricity and
steam, the delays in communicating INTEL
gence and receiving assistance would ave
been such that half the population ii &c
city might have persisted Of sta. at: A.

and discoveries of modern times rs Tending

THE EouiNocriAI. SroEM.-Prof. f.
Loomis, Of Yale College, twenty
years ago reported, after a thorough
examination Of the mctcorologica al
records of I.on,lon and the United
States, against tho common belief in
the occurrence of q storm at the
time Of the autumnal equinox. The
London series extended from TIA
to 1913. His conclusion was as
follows: "From all these obscrva-
tions, !. infer that the popular notion
Of an unusual fall of rain either in
Old England or in New England
about the time Of the autumnal equi-
nox is wholly unfounded, and is akin
to those supersitions which make
some particular day observation
day" for the entire month, or make
the fall Of rain dependent on the an
nua' meeting Of the Quakers." Mr..
w. C. Redlield the distinguished
mcterologist, also reports that there
is nothing in the traditional notion
Of special connection between the
equinox and tho storms of that
period.

1t is said that there is not a single
Indictment left against any accused
person in Cook county, Illinois,
which is certainly piece of good
fortune for some rngues. But. on
the other hand. the lawyers have
suffered severely. Hardly a law IL
brary or law Office is left; not paper
to show that there is a suit pending
in any of the six courts of the coun-
ty; not a petition in bankruptcy,
in the federal courts. And worse
vet, so far as is known, all the re-
cords of deeds and mortgages are
destroyed.
The Alexis Ball in New York is
to be something imposing. Bier

Music for the occasion. The eXecu-

The following paragraph sums up
concisely the extent of the Chicago
disaster,
can approximate estimate of the
total losses is about 5000, 900, 00O.-
The area burned over exceeds 1000
acres. The number of buildings
burned is not below 10000. The
number of lives lost is believed to be
at least 200. There are about l00,-
600 persons in need of relief"
