which numbered about one hundred and
fifty persons, passed down Main street
there was almost perfect silence along the
street, an unusual thing in Phoebe. Most
of those in the line were on foot, there
were, however, half dom carriages and
a few horsemen. The remains were taken
to the Catholic graveyard. They were
silently lowered into the grave, and, after
the gloves and sashes had been thrown
upon the coffin, one of those who had
followed the hearse produced a prayer
book and read the burial service. An
other dry mound Of dirt and rock was
added to the line, and the mourners
walked back to town.
MooNLIGHT.-The nights we are hav-
ing now are delightful ones in which to
indulge in "moping melancholy and
moonstruck Madness" if one were so
inclined The view, also, over the NOON
lit plain, is one which would inspire the
the pensive heart with sad thoughts in

north. That these beauties Of nature do
inspire the heart with poetic feelings, We

her gallant lover, as they walked in the
lovely moonlight: Them cloud shad-
ders out there looks darned funny, don't
they?" In reply to which the romantic
swain made the expressive remark "You

words of the ADVERTISEMENT " OF the
cowardly rascals who broke into the
house of the lady who offers the re-
ward. Some palliation may be found
for almost any act, but what language
can be found to fifty describe the infa-
nous wretch who would break into the
dwelling Of respectable widow lady,
and without even the excuse of plumber,
wantonly destroy the property so hardly
earned by honest industry? Most sim
cerely do we trust that our efficient Off.
GERS will discover the perpetrators OF
this cowardly outrage, and bring them to
the punishment they merit.
