PROBABLE SHOOTING OF A CATTLE THIEF

PROBABLE SHOOTING OF A CATTLE THIEF,
For some months past there have been CON-
m,,cd, near West End, various thefts of cattle,
sheep and hogs, and suspicion has pointed to a
German named John Hobb, a stranger, who
for the last three months has been living IN the
Lo,lS, of Mrs. John H. Zimmerman in that
,ilIarc. A day or two ago Hobb sold heiIer
10 Nh. Peter II. Watkins for So. but Mr.. W.
hcing informed that the animal had probably
been st lien, would not kill her. and yesterday
she was seen and claimed by Mr.. Charles Lycrs
Of Fairfax county, from whom She with -FOUR
other cattle, had been stolen on the 2Sth ult.
\ warrant having been obtained tor the arrest
Of lIobb, posse. headed by Mr.. hose Cats

ZEN of telling her they had cheap. COW to sell,
that he had gone to the farm occupied by Mrs.
EIIrv. started there after him, Mr.. Cats and
Mr.. Lyers in Il buggy considerably IN advance.
About eight o clock last night, when they were
near Clouds NI,they met Hobb coming down
the turnpike driving another one of MIR Lyers'
cows. and Mr. Cats leaving MIR. Lyers III the
buggy, jumped out and telling Hobb that his
,hetis had been detected at last, walked along
hy his side down the pike, Hubb saying that he
had bought the hetcr and the cow he was drlv
iur from colored man from Baltimore. When
they were near the mill race, Hobb suddenly
Jumped over feuce and ran along the bauk,
co>riy pursued by Mr.. Cats, but the latter
liucng that his prisoner would outrun him,
drew his pistol aud fired, the fugitive sprlnglug
hi.h INTO the air at the discharge, but conuu,
ing his flight. and as the caps on the remain

he succeeded in crossing the race, and was soon
lost i'm the adjoining swamp. Ii Is supposed
that he was wounded by Mr. Cats. but moth
ing has been heard from him sipce he made

Went to his house again last night and took
possession of horse they found there, and
Which. it is supposed, was stolen aud they have

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE.
Partial Destruction Of the Southern Meth
odist Rock Concern. ~ -

Partial Destruction Of the Southern Meth
Odtst Rock Concern. n -
Our dispatches yesterday morning allud-
ed briefly to the destruction by fire of q
large portion oflthe Southern NIethodist
Book Concern at Nashville. The FIRE orig
rapidly communicated TO other portions of
the building. 1t broke out about midnight
and. the combined efforts of the Fire De-
partment and citizens were required to
prevent its communication to ada
cent buildings, The damage done
to machinery and material Is esti-
mated at 100000. Upon this there
was no insurance. We heard the damage
to the building estimated at $4,000, on
which there was insurance to the amount
of 5000. The flames were Checked before
reaching the sales rooms, where the publ
cations of the Concern, and much other
valuable property is kept. Ags1ong other
losses sustained, was that of DIR. Summers
private library, one of the most valuable
in the State. There were number of
very valuable presses in the building,
which are said to be uninjured except by
water thrown upon them. One serious
feature in the case, is that from sixty to
seventy-five persons are thrown out of
employment. This is peculiarly unfortu-
nate at this season,
The managers of the Concern will go to
work at once to retrieve their misfortunes.
1t is stated that they will get out their reg
ular issues of the Christian ADVOCATE and
other publications with but little interup-
ton. The loss will be seriously felt, but
will no doubt be repaid promptly. A
membership, will not suffer an enterprise
of so much importance as this, to suffer
for want of funds to repair damages sus-
tanned as in this case. ..rr .....

Modesty Of Wisdom.

Correspondence New York Commercial Advertiser
The story sent from the sea by AgassiZ,
concerning the queer fish that launches its
homemade cradle and its young to sink or
swim together, reminds me of my first in
terview with that enthusiastic solver of
natures puzzles. / was on board q Hud-
son river steamer just twenty years ago
that put both my ears at the service of
Agassiz. He did all the talking, and |
listened for two hours to the stories he
told about the wonderful things he had
seen. Never was narrative more pictur-
esque. 1t sparkled with wit, and was as
profound as an abyss in the Alps. 1t was
conversational and it was learned. 1t was
the epitome of forty years OF diligent
s0dy, minute observation and tireless en-
ergy. Agassiz had just completed his
survey of the Florida reefs, a delicate and
difficult service, which he had undertaken
for the purpose of discovering the methods
of the coral family. He found the menu
bers OF that family at home, busily en-
gagged in their domestic avocations, and
introducing himself without a moments
hesitation, he became the supervisor of
their house-building operations. Request
ed TO give newspaper correspondent the
substance of his story, " in advance of
publication Agassiz good naturally con-
scented, and that was the way In which
came TO hear what he had TO say.

HIGHWAYMEN ABOUT NASHVILLE.
A series Of Daring Robberies.

The Nashville Banner of the 18th gives
on account of q series of robberies OH the
pike, near that city. OF the band it says ::
We learn from persons who reside on the
Murfreesboro pike that the trio of high
way robbers who robbed Messrs. Simpson
and William Estes on that pike last Sat
urday night, commenced their depreda-
lions about eleven miles from the city and
rode rapidly in this direction, stopping
every one whom they met, presenting
their pistols and demanding their valua-
bles in the most sanguinary style. After
cleaning out one unfortunate, they would
push rapidly forward in search of some
other victim.
They were all mounted on fine horses,
and are described as being three stout, able
bodied, well-dressed men, who would not
be suspected Of entertaining an idea of rob-
bling any one. The most noticeable feature
Of their attire was cape over loose over
coat, of dark color. AS it was after dark
when they commenced depredations, those
whom they robbed could not get good
look at their features.
The robberies were perpetrated SO eXpe-
ditiously, and the perpetrators travelled so
rapidly that the efforts of the citizens who
attempted to overhaul them were futile.
1t is believed that they separated near the
first toll gate, and went in different direc-
lions.

Married Gull Up;,


In Virginia, where the law fixes the
marriage fee at rone, dollar, there II a. re-
miniscence OF a couple who many years
ago called ON parson and requested him
to marry them.
Where is my fee ?" said the old fune-
tionary. .I.... SN
The parties who were to unite their for
tunes did so at once, and found the joint
amount to be twenty-seven cents.
az can't marry you for that sum-" said
the irate old gentleman.
"A little bit of service will go long
way,n suggested the male applicant.
ooh, no" said the parson "you don't
pay for the size of the pill but for the good
you hope it will do you"
"The lass, intent on marriage, began to
weep, but the parson was inexorable, and
the couple turned sadly to depart. Just
then happy thought seemed to strike the
forlorn maiden, and she turned and cried,
through her tears
please sir, ifyou can't marry us full up,
won't you marry us twenty-seven cents
worth We can come for the rest some
other time.'
This was too much for the parson. He
married them full up" and they went on
their way rejoicing.
