miles south of town, brought his fam
lily to the Sunday School Festival on

hearts, went out. and without leave or

the horses; all got into the carriage
and drove away, expecting to take a
nice ride and get back before the fes-

Wisehart stepped out to look after his
team, when 10, all was gone. He gave
the alarm, but before any thing defin-

dangerous weapons will also be found
lying by their sides, yet one of then
