A gentleman Of Halifax, be,
ing at n ladies' fair not long
since, and being solicited to buy
something by a fair creature
who kept one of the tables,
said he wanted to buy what he
feared was not for sale-a lock
Of her hair. To his surprise
and delight she promptly cut
off the coveted curl, and re-
ceived the price offered-$l0.
The happy purchaser was ex.
hibiting the trophy to one Of
his friends, who very suddenly
blasted his joy by saying :
"She. rather outflanked you
for to my certain knowledge
she only paid three dollars fol
the whole wig"

I compare, says John New

us to carry the whole at once.
He mercifully unties the bun.

which we are to carry to-day,
and then another, which we
are to carry tomorrow, and so
on. This we might easily
manage, if we could only take
the burden appointed for us
each day; but we choose to in
crease our troubles by carrying
yesterdays stick over again to-
day, and adding to.morrow's
burden to our load before VIC
are required to bear it.

Waylaying A Methodist
Church.
(From the Cincinnati Times)


(From the Cincinnati Times)
Last evening, in the quiet
little suburban town of Green
wood, adjoining Lockland,
there was enacted a bloody
sensation which disturbed its
usual equanimity.
A colored man by the name
of Robinson, who has on two
former occasions been concern
ed in very serious affairs, one
of which was the killing of a
man about a year and a half
ago, was the principal aggres-
sor in this terrible affair, and
three colored men named Ma
son, Copeland, and Busby, and
also the latter's wife, were the
sufferers.
1t appears that Robinson,
like Othello, had been afflicted
with the pangs of jealousy for
some time past, but what in
particular our informant was
unable to state. BE that as it
may, he felt that nothing
would satisfy him in his then
moody and revengeful disposi-
ton but blood, and with that
object in view armed himself
with two revolvers and a car.
bine and started on his bloody
and treacherous mission short
ly after nightfall.
Arriving near the colored
Methodist Church, in Green
wood, he stationed himself
where he could obtain q good
view OF the front door.
Here he awaited with the
ferocity and impatience of a
bloodhound until the services
were over, and then, as the
congregation had about half
emerged into the open air. he
fired his carbine into, the crowd.
This shot failing to Wound any,
he again placed his carbine to
his shoulder, and taking better
aim, again fired. A shrek
followed the report, and q
piercing cry rang out, "Good
God, I'm shot"
CONSERVATION now took pos
session of the crowd, for the
second shot had convinced
them that it was a deliberate
attack made upon them. Some
ran into the church and Others
more undaunted gathered
around the wounded man to
offer assistance. But no soon.
er were they gathered around
the prostrate man than a third
and fourth shot were fired by
the concealed assassin, and this
time Copeland was shot. Again
the crowd wavered, some fell
back into the church, while
others sought safety by a rapid
retreat elsewhere.
The demon seeing the crowd
flying, emptied the chambers of
one Of his pistols, and this time
wounding Mr., Busby and his
wife. This seemed to satisfy
his thirst for revenge, and he
made an attempt to escape, but
he did not succeed, for that
same evening he was pursued
and hunted like a wild beast
by. the excited populace.
He was finally secured by
the Marshal of Lockland and
placed in durance vile, but
such is the animosity exhibited
by the friends of the sufferers
that it is feared he will be sum-
marily disposed of by q tribu
nal Of his fellow citizens
Robinson will doubtless b(
brought to the Hamilton coun
ty jail for safe keeping, unit.
he meets with the just retribu
tion Of the law.
