T. CARPENTER's CAREER.--The financial op-
erations of Carpenter, the bank swindler.
have netted him considerable amount of
money during the last year. Before his at
tempt at Doyestown he gained large sums
from the banks at Dubuque and Louisville
probably $4,000 or $1,000. The months spent
in prison here were unproductive, and were
probably regarded by him as time lost. The
first place he struck, after getting away from
Bucks county, was Chicago. There he took
the sum of $4,000 from the Corn Exchange
National Bank by the same scheme that oper-
ated so successfully elsewhere. From Chica-
go he moved on to Galena, where he dcpOsit-
ed his certified check and showed his letter of
credit, as usual, to the Galena National
Bank. Being a little short just then he drew
check for $4,000, which was paid him, after
which our hero departed His business then
took him up the Mississippi to St. Paul,
where lie got $500 from tlie Merchants
National Bank and $4s00 from the National
Marine Bank. This was about the first week
in April. 1t was on the 18th Of the same
month that he turned up inP Ptttsburg, having
hastened toput 1000 miles of distance between
himself and his st. Paul bankers, and went
through tho performances that have already
been related. The game he played was ex,.
actly the same ir all the places visited, and it
proved to be remarkably successful one

+ CouRT.-4On Thursday last, court adjourn
ed for the term. We learn from tho Hunter
DON Democrat that two juries were cmpanel-
ed, one to meet on the 2Sth inst, to try a
pauper case, and the other for the Both inst,
to try an Indictment against Tunis Nrelick for
assault and battery.
Tho last two cases tried were as follows
The state VS.. Catharine Kelley, indicted for
keeping disorderly house. Three Or four vio-
lations of tile law concerning Inns and Tav-
erns-selling liquor by the small measure
without license--were proven, and a verdict
of guilty rendered
The state VS., jesse Tcats and Sidney Hack.
indicted for larceny. John Stern, a school
teacher in the upper part Of the county, re-
ceived his pay for the term the latter part of
last month, anti immediately went Upon
spree. On the evening of the second day, of
his carousc he fell in with the Defendants and
went with them to the shoe shop of Teats.-
There several quarts of liquor were drank by
them, and, Stern being too drunk to move,
he was left in the shop when the others went
home. Upon his awakening next morning.
he professed to have lost from $50 to $50, and
charged the defendant with the theft. The
testimony developed the fact that Stern was
at no time within two days prior to his alleged
loss in acondition to know the state of his fl
nances, and the jury rendered a verdict of
mot guilty"
The following sentences were imposed for
violations Of the liquor law ~
Catliarine Kelly--State Prison six months.

Leading n COW.

Every woman will tell you that
a man can be led easier by putting
an arm around his neck than BY
pulling his hair, but the writer
never knew till recently that the
reason you cannot lead COW
behind wagon is because she
objects to having her horns pulled
The other day a red-shirted emf
grant passed through on his way
to Carol county. His family and
household possessions were in a
covered wagon, to the end of which
was fastened q COW. Behind her
with a sharp stick walked the emf
grant, giving her a smart welt
occasionally when she hung back.
Every now and then she would
brace herself and stop the team,
and then in unclerical language he
would beseech her to go on, mark
ing each forcible period with q
prod of the sharp stick.
The poor COW rolled her eyes
and rolled her tongue. The poor
emigrant too, was dusty and tired.
but his voice and his stick didn't
fail him. She had suddenly halted
the procession in front Of the post
Office and was shaking her head I'M

when a man called out to Red
Shirt that he didn't understand
cows worth cent.
"Well, what are you going to do
about it p asked Red Shirt.
"Why, just take the rope of her
horns, aud put it rouhd her neck,
and she'll lead as quiet as a lamb:
If she don't III follow her o mills
myself"
The rope was changed to her
neck, and the team started. The
COW gave a look Of surprise and
walked along.
"Well that beats ALL" said Red
Shirt, and without a word Of
thanks he mounted the wagoh,
The procession moved on toward

A Trusty BOY.

A few years ago, says a New
York paper, a large firm in that
city advertised for a boy. Next
day the store was thronged with
applicants and among them came
a queer looking little fellow, accom-
panied by his aunt, in lieu of faith
full parents by whom he had been
abandoned.
Looking at the little waif, the
merchant In the store promptly
said: Cant take him; places all
full. Besides he is too small"
81 know he is small" said the
woman; "but be is willing and
faithful"
There vas a twinkle in the boys
eye which made the merchant
think again. A partner in the
firm volunteered to remark
that he did not see why they want
ed such boy; he wasn't bigger
than pint of cider. But after a
consultation the boy was sent to
work.
A few days later o coll was made
on the boys in the store for some
one to stay all night. The prompt
response Of the little fellow con-
trasted well with the reluctance Of
others. In the middle Of tho
night the merchant looked in to
see if all was right In the store, and
discovered his youthful protege
bnsy scissoring labels.
"What are you doing ?" said he !;
II did not tell you to work nights"
81 know that you did not tell me
so, but l thought that I might as
well he doing something"
In the morning the cashier got
orders to 'doubie that boys wages,
for he was willing"
Only few weeks elapsed before
a show of wild beasts passed
5 through the streets, and very
naturally, all hands in the store
rushed out to witness the spectacle
A thief saw his opportunity, and
= entered in the rear to seize some
thing, but, in a twinkle, found him
: self seized by the dimiutive clerk
e aforesaid, and, after d struggle
was captured. Not only was 9
: robbery prevented, but the valuable
articles which had been taken from
other stores were recovered
When questioned by the merchan,
: why he staid behind to watch, the
reply was, "You never told me to
: leave the store when others were
t absent, and thought I'd stay"
; In 1860 that boy was receiving
salary of $4,000, and is now a par
: tner in the establishment.

Moderation.


De moderate in all things,
Excessive in none,
In great things and small things
The King on his throt,e.
The Soldier, the peasant,
May learn in n word
To moderate tho sccpter.
The spade and the sword.
Be moderate in eating.
Nor ait AT the board
Like miser bent over
His long-gathered hoard.
De Moderate in drinking,
Nor drain deep the bowl,
For deaths at the bottom
In wait for your ,oll.
BE moderate in thinking;
The bow too long bent
Has never the shaft
TO the mark with forc, SAINT!
De moderate in friendship,
To MI but n few,
And these to your bosom
Clasp, trusting and true;
If Poverty stands ut
The door, you may test
By the touch of his cold hand
Your bravest and beat.
Be mo 'era'e in love
While YOU are ardent and young;
But if your hearts fame
Find won't through the tongue,
Let it be like an unsheathod
Patriots svori
Even ready TO act
In accordance with your word.
BE moderate in censure,
Nor deem it unwiso
To shut OH the faults
OF another your eyes;
For IL through glass
He may look upon yours
With microscope TOO.
Be moderate in eating,
For over much wealth
Insures not contentment,
Nor pleasure NOR health;
But blessed with sufficient,
Give some TO the poor
Enough if you Just
Keep the wolf from the door.
