RESULT OF STEALING WATERMELoNs.
Mr.. Solomon Hardsock, who lives near
Haneytown, in this county, owns a hne
patch of watermelons. A gang Of young
boys in the neighborhood have been par
tial to his melons and have been in the
habit of abdhcting his saccharine vegeta-
ton. Last Tuesday night he discov-
cred young fellow named Hen
derson in the patch and he
ordered him TO leave Henderson
did not do so, however, and Hardsock
ordered him the second time on his
premises, at the same time saying he
would shoot the offender if he did not
leave. Henderson still remained, where
upon the proprietor of the melon patch
put his gun in position and fired, per-
forating the body of Henderson with
numerous small pieces of lead. Most OF
the shot lodged in the left arm and alb
domen of Henderson, and the wounds
are of serious nature, and may possibly
result fatally.

DEAR BRoTHER:-In reply to your
words, IF YOU still believe in that wo-
man." &c, let me say, that from her per-
sonallv | have never heard word on
this subject. and when nearly year ago
| heard that when here in this city, she
said she expected you to introduce her at
Steinwavs, | wrote her most indignant
and rebuking letter, to which she replied
in II manner which aStounded me by its
calm assertion that she considered you aS
true friend to her ~ | myself. | en-
closed this letter 10 Mr.. Tilton, asking
him Ia show it to vou if he thought best,
ond to write me what it all meant. He
never replied nor returned the letter t."
me a. requested, but ! have II copy of
it at your service. In the month of Feb
ruary after that, on returning from
Washington, went IL Mrs. StantcnS
to spend Sunday, at Jersey City, and |
met Mrs. Woodruff, who had come on
in the same train with me it seemed, and
who urged me in haSty way, to bring
Mrs Stanton over on Monday for n SUI
fragc consultation rs to the spring Con-
vcntion. Remembering her assertion of
the friendship hcswrcn you and her, meet
ing You occasionally at Mr.. Moulton'S
house, II think this is the name,) |
thought would put this 10 test, and re-
piled that could be sure Of seeing You,

She Promised 10 Secure You IL Pos

appointment ut New Haven, which |
should miss if topped in New York
and So passed by, dropping her a letter
by way Of curiosity. Sister Catherine,
who was stopping at Your houS" nj tn"
time. said. casually, in letter ofthat
week, Belle, Henry went over to New
York to see YOU last Monday, but could
not find YOU OF course my inference
was that Mrs. Woodruff either had power
over YOU. or you were secretly friends.
During that Sunday Mrs. Stanton told
me precisely what Mr.. Tilton had said to
her In the rage of the discovery he fled

HOLD Your ToNGUEs.-Last Thurs
dav Mrs. Armstrong had her neighbor
Mrs. Spindler put under bonds, before
SQUIRE Charnock to keep the peace for
one year. Yesterday Mrs. Spindler had
Mrs. Armstrong before Squire Caldwell,
on charge of a breach OF
the peace. Both parties were
represented by counsel, and war OF
words was the result. The details OF the
case was very disgusting and very vulgar
and showed in what loose manner some
women wag their tongues when they are
angry with each other. The trial resulted
in Mrs. Armstrong being required to give
bond in the sum of 800 for her good be-
havior for the period ofone year. If she
don't hold her tongue in the future her
bondsman will have to settle the bill.

Another Curious Complication
Of the relations of the parties arose from

public notoriety that Mrs. Isabella Beech

poused the cause of Mrs. Woodruff on

had been accused still further of adopting
her social tcnets. Beecher's relations to

THE GENTLE ZEPHYRs.-About half
past five o'clock last evening, an amateur
tornado swept over the city. Volumes
of dust drove through the streets, max
ing the thoroughfarcs impossible for a
time. In II few minutes the rain and
hail came down at furious rate, and
many nervous people thought We were to
be visited by hail storm which would
equal the big one four years ago. The
storm had the effect of cooling the heat
