used to draw one single and one double

used for these wagons either passed
nearly all the year in the blacksmith

have been concealed under the pre-

Domestic Scene in Danbury,

There is peculiar saddening effect in
awakening in the night and hearing
burglars at work in your house. This
was the case with Mr.. Henry. on South
street, Friday night As soon as he de-
tected the noise, which appeared to be
down stairs, he softly crept out of bed
and commenced to prowl around Tor a
match His wife was soon awakened by
the same noise, and believing that some
thing was the matter with the children
who slept in the next room, she carefully
withdrew from her bed so as not to dis
turb her husband, and started Tor the
door An instant later they cOllided.
What he thought was evident enough.
All the hard earnings of an ardnous lie
were at stake Before him stood one or
more robbers With an exclamation OF
condensed eloqucnce he clinched her
What she thought is not quite so eyl
dent, but it was doubtless of her husband
and children, and being plucky wlthal,
she at once wined her fingers in his hair,
and gave him a wrench that made him
think OF death
Then both OF them went down to the
floor together, she having the advantage
in the fall, and getting on top, with her
hands still in his hair, she shook his
head against the floor with an energy and
courage that would undoubtedly have
filed him to ovcraowing with adnlra
ton, had he known who it was, or had
he known anything at all. Every tim5
she raped him she shriesed for help,
and in brief space Of time the children
and Mrs. Eben Davis, who lives down
stairs, were on the scene Mrs. Davis
was not dressed for company, but in the
excitement she didn't mind adornment.
She had candle in one hand, and long
carving fork in the other, aud was about
to drive the latter into the legs of the
william, when recognition ensucd Then
Mrs Davis laid down her candle in one
direction, and the fork in another, and
Immediately returned to her own apart
ments, her yellow flannel nightcap, as il
shot down the stairs, being the FIRST thing
Mr.. Henry saw on springing to his feet
The children were returned to their room
and put to bed, but the parents did not
resume their couch. 1t was SO pleasant
that Mr.. Henry concluded to remain up
the rest Of tue night and enjoy the scene
ry, and Mrs. Henry thought il best Ia
stay up too, so as to change the cloths
on his head rs often rs possible DIM

business Of his Git wasn't anything he
could help) and, besides, science mus
he attended to, so catered upon the OK
pertinent with all the hopefulness aud cy
pectatioas Of young and ardent nature
About O'Clock the old buffers came
around, and having listlessly examined
the periodicals, watched the opportunity
which Rolf was quivering to give them,
and raised the glasses hurried to their
lips, and rs hurriedly absorbed the con
tents. Then they lounged about as list.
lcssly as before, for about two minutes.
At tho expiration OF that time, one Of
the twain commenced to look surprised
The other man also looked as if he had
received unexpected intelligence. Then
their faces simultaneously appeared grip-
ed, and the first man remarked 80 or
and struck for the wall. Whcroupon the
second man made similar statement,
and also started for the same destination.
