On Thursday week man named kel-
Ter, horse dealer, residing short distance
above Mount Joy, visited that place and
drew 500 out of the bank. His business
transactions kept him in town until after
dark. On his way home, while riding on
horseback, he was stopi ed a short distance
from the village by two men, one of whom
caught the horse by the head, while th.
other pointed pistol at Mr.. Keller's head
aud demanded his money or his life. Mr..
Keller replied that ne had but small
amount of money about his person, and
sooner than lose his life lie would give it to
them, at the same time putting his right
hand into his side pocket; but instead of
pulling out his pocket book, as the thieves
expected, he pulled out a revolver and shot
the one dead who was holding the pistol
toward him, and shot at the other one as he
WAS running away, but without effect.

THE EXEMPTION LAW.

The act of lS49 exempting certain
amount of the property of a debtor
from levy and sale, on execution or dis
tress for rent, was intended for the wise
and humane purpose OF protecting his
family from sudden and absolute want.
This benevolent design is, however,
often defeated, and the law practically
nuIli6ed, by the harrassed debtor sav-
Ing the benefits Of the act to meet .he
exactions of his creditor. Do not
sound policy and humanity demand a
supplement- TO this law that will forbid
debtor having a family waving the
benefit of the exemption, so that a
household may not be .horn, in an in

Presence Of Mind.

Professor Wilder gives these short
rules for action in case Of accident: For
dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing, dash
water into them; remove einders, ect.,
with the round part of a lead pencil.
Remove insects from the with tepid
water; never put hard instrument into
the ear. If the artery is cut, compress
above the wound; if vein is cut, COM
press below If choked, get upon all
fours and cough. For light burns, dip
the part in cold water, if the skin is de-
stroyed, cover with varnish. Smother a
fire with carpets, ETC.; water will often
spread burning oil and increase the dan
ger. Before passing through smoke, take
full breath, and then stoop low, but if
carbon is suspected, then walk erect.
Suck poison wounds, unless your mouth
is sore. Enlarge the wound, or better,
cut out the part without delay. Hold
the wounded part as long as can be borne
to a hot coal, or end of cigar. In case
of poisoning, excite vomiting by tickling
the throat, or by water or mustard. Fol-
acid poisons, give acids; in case of opium
poisoning, give strong coffee, and keep
moving. If in water, float on the back
with the nose and mouth projecting
For apoplexy, raise the head and body

A Romance in Real Life.

A short time ago young man about
twenty years of age arrived in Baltimore
from England and commenced to look
for work at his trade. After several
days fruitless search, the Gazette says,
he entered large factory on Lombard
street and inquired for work The su-
perintendent asked him his name, where
he was from, and other particulars about
his family. He replied that his mother
resided in England and had reared him,
his father having quarreled with her
when he was an infant, and had aban-
doned them, and it was supposed that he
had come to America, but no tidings had
been received from him. When the
young man had concluded, the superin-
tendent, who, for many years, had been
employed by the firm with whom he is
at present engaged, said to the astonished
youth, "I am your father!'' They dis
cussed family matters at length, and the
father, hearing from his son that his
wife had never ceased to mourn their un-
fortunate difference and his absence, de-
termined to proceed at once to Europe
and bring her to this country, and en-
deavor in the future years to atone for the
mistakes and errors of the past. He Sc
cured enjoyment for his son, and obain-
ing the necessary leave of absence from
his employers, he sailed last week for
England, intending to bring back with
him on his return the wife from whom
he had been so long separated.

Canaries.

Rather more than three hundred
years ago, ship partly laden with little
green birds captured in the Canary Is
lands, having been wrecked near Elba,
the birds made their escape, flew to the
island, and there settled Themselves.
Numbers of them were caught by the in
habitants, and on account of their
sprghtly vivacity and the brialliancy of
their voices they soon became great fa-
vorites, and rapidly spread over Europe.
The original color of the canary is not
the bright yellow with which its feath-
ers are generally tinted, but kind of
dappled olive green, black and yellow,
either color predominating according to
circumstances. BY careful management
the bird -fanciers are able to procure ca
naries of every tint between the three
colors, having instituted set of rules
by which the quality and arrangement of
the coloring is reduced to regular sys-
tenn. Still the original dappled green is
always apt to make its appearance, and
even when two colored birds are mated, a
green one is sure to be found in the nest.
For my own part care little for the ar
tifcial varieties produced by the fan
ciers and to my mind an intelligent bird
and good songster is not one whit the
less attractive because the colors of its
plumage are not arranged precisely ac.
cording to the fancier's rules.

The Sultan and Satan.

There is an Eastern story Of Sultan
who oversight himself, so as not to AVA
ken at the hour of prayer. So the devil
came and walked him, and told him to
get up and pray. "Who are you?" said
the Sultan. 90, no matter" replied the
other; "my act is good, is it not? No
matter who does the good action, so long
as it is good" "Yes," replied the Sui
tan, "but 1 think you are Satan. /

angel once and still keep some Of my
original goodness" "That's all very
well, +" replied the sagacious and prudent
Caliph, "but you are the tempter; that's
your business; and I wish to know
why you want me to get up and pray.'
"Well," said the devil, with a firt OF
impatience, ''if you must know, will
tell you. If you had slept and forgotten
your prayers, you'dhav been sorry for ii
afterward, and penitent; but, if you go
on, as now; and do not neglect a single
prayer for ten years, you will be so sat
isfed with yourself, that it will be worse
for you than if You had missed one some
times and repented of it. God loves
your fault mixed with penitence, more
than your virtue seasoned with pride y

Peas Three Thusand Years Old.

In the course of late explorations in
the ancient ruins of Egypt, Gen. Ander-
son, an English traveller, found, inclosed
in sarcophagus beside a mummy, a
few dry peas, whIcm he preserved care
fully, and on his return TO Great Britain,
planted in the rich soil of the island of
Guernsey. The seeds germinated, from
which, at maturity, sufficient peas were
gathered to plant quite large tract Of
ground in the following season. Some
of the plants thus raised have attained
height of over six feet, and have been
loaded with blossoms of exquisite odor,
and of delicate rose tint. The peculiar
feature of the growth is the stem, which
is so small near the root but increases
greatly in size as it ascends, requiring a
support to sustain it upright. The pods,
instead of being distributed around all
portions of the stem, as in the ordinary
plant, are grouped about the upper ex-
tremity. The vegetable, it is said, be-
longsto the ordinary garden variety;
but from its presenting the very distinc-
tive difference above noted, it seems wor-
thy of close botanical observation. The
peas are of remarkably fine flavor, ex-
ceiling in delicacy those of the choicest
known varieties.

Stand, or I'll fire. They fired two
shots, and then l shot the man nearest
to me. Then gaveit to his companion
and he yelled. They both got away
little space before they dropped. The
young man died at about half-past FIVE
o'clock"
By order of Coroner Jones the bodies
were removed to the Morgue in Brook
lyn. Mosier was found to have been
shot twice through the back, and Dou-
glass was shot in the right side, the
charge making its way into the abdomen
and inficting a fearful wound. The
sloop owned by the burglars was search
ed, but the authorities state that no pa
pers of interest were found.
THE DYING BURGLARS cINFEssIoN.
While Douglass was dying a crowd of
unfeeling rustics gathered around him
and coarsely speculated upon the ap-
proach of death. A servant girl, rough
and uncouth, stepped to his side while
the miserable wretch was gasping for
breath, and said at serves you right.
It's just good for you" Douglas turn
ed an appealing glance upon her and
replied: "Oh, Madam, I've been a
very wicked fellow, know" The girl
curled her lip and made no reply. For
over two hours, without priest or ply
sician, the miserable fellow was left to
die upon the cold, wet ground. Mr.. Van
Brunt asked him if he had anything to
say, and told him that he must die.
Douglass replied that he was a single
man, and that Mosier, his dead compan-
ion, was a married man and had FIVE
children. He stated to Theodore Ber-
gen that he had helped to steal Charley
Rose, and that he was in the buggy with
Mosier when the boy was taken away.
"Mosier knows all about it," he said,
"and so does Inspector Walling. The
boy will turn up all right" His last
words were "Mosier lives in Philadel-
phia, and he knows where the boy is.
You'll find $40 in my pocket. All I
ask of you is to give me a decent burial.
I've got brother and sister living, but
[ hayn't seen them in over ten years.
Give me a decent burial. That's all
ask :"
