A Strange Story.

An extraordinary and interesting case,
marvellous as n tale of fiction, has lately
came to light in New York city. An old
miser named Luther Bryant, reputed very
rich, and who lived in room in the rear
of q large tenement house, was arrested
and locked up in the Tombs short time
ago, charged with the fraudulent purchase
of postage stamps. The old miser had
stand against the iron railing of the Old
Dutch Church, corner of Fulton and Will
liam streets, for the ostensible purpose of
dealing in old coins, &C., but his principal
business was to buy postage stamps at
about halfprice from messenger boys who
stole them from their firms. The old ras-
cal had been engaged in this business , for
four years, and had fifty boys supplying
him with stamps, and made very good
thing out of it, The abuse became SO great
that several merchants were led to suspect
that something was wrong, and set detee-
tives on the watch, who soon unearthed old
Bryant. He was accordingly arrested and
locked up. And now comes the curious
part of the story. During Bryant's i'm
prisonment the premises which he had oc-
cupied and the door to which was secured
by double padlocks, remained apparently
undisturbed until a week ago when it was
observed that the locks had been broken off
and the door was ajar, and on inspection
was found to have been ransacked of every
thing. On receiving this intelligence Bry-
ant almost tainted, and, on fully compre-
hending the intelligence, acted like luna
tic. He told the officer that the room con-
tanned money and valuables to the amount
of nearly $780, and that he was reduced
to beggary by the robbery. superintendent
Walling was notified, and at his request
District Attorney Phelps discharged Bry-
ant from prison on his own recognizance,
so as to enable him to consult with and aid
the Police authorities in search for the
stolen property, Bryant visited his room,
and after carefully inspecting the premises,
furnished Superintendent Walling with the
following list of money and property claim
ed by him to have been stolen $70,0 600 in
United States gold coin in $50 pieces, each
piece has a small hole punched in the head
of the Goddess of Liberty $12, 200 in legal
tender notes $1,000 in mutilated cur
rency gold watch, the movement of
which was manufactured by Appleton 81
Tracy, and which is marked NJ. D., in old
English characters, and valued at $500 !;
the case weighs seventy-three penny
weights, and is marked No. S03 a gold
chain, composed of solid oblong bars, part
ly engraved, and weighing 100 penny
weights a diamond and amethyst ring a
pair of amethyst sleeve buttons marked NJ.
D., apair of gold eye glasses, twelve silver
tablespoons, twelve silver teaspoons, set
of mustard, salt, and sugar spoons, all
marked M. D., and pearl album hand
somely engraved. A circular describing
this property, and offering reward of $5,-
600 for its recovery, has been issued, and
distributed all over the country.

In the Mronn Church.

The pastor of the Fall River church hay-
ing made arrangement to exchange pulpits
with Methodist clergyman on Sunday a
week, the good brother came according to
agreement; but unfortunately, at the ap-
pointed time for afternoon service he walk
ed into the wrong church, entered the pull
pit, and took his seat While the choir
was singing the voluntary, iucame the pas
tor and discovered his brother clergyman
seated comfortably in his place. The pas
tor who knew him said "Are you not in
the wrong chureh?" He replied: "No,
know where am. was to exchange with
the pastor Of this church." 10 which the
pastor rejoined that he knew nothing of
such an arrangement, and proceeded to
give out the hymn andpreached his sermon
as usual. Finally the strange brother
whispered II really believe am in the
wrong place" At the church where he
was TO preach the congregation sang, wait
ed, had prayed, and departed for home.

Keeping His Promise.

The Delaware Railroad runs right
through Peabody's farm, just below
our village, and close to the track there
is kind of q mud hole. Into this
one of Peabody's horses fell, the 9th
er day, and defied every effort to get
him out. While Peabody was work
ing at the job, freight train ran in
upon the siding and stopped to shift
some empty cars. The engineer no.
ticed Peabody's trouble, and finally of
fered to pull the horse out with the To-
comotive if Peabody would give him
five dollars. Peabody gladly consent
ed, and the engineer got down for the
purpose christening a rope under the
horses belly. Just as he completed
this job, the fireman, a green-horn
got meddling with the starting bar,
and the engine suddenly gave u jerk
and began to move off. In less than
a min ute that iron steed was proceed
ing down the Delaware peninsula at
the rate of mile a minute, with Pea
bod's horse behind, slashing VI
against fences, swishing through ditch
es, butting against cross ties and dan
cling and frolicking and jumping about
in the most extraordinary manner
When the engine was stopped, TWEEN
ty three miles below, by leaping tn
track and rolling over into gully
there was nothing on the rope bu
four ribs and the backbone, and thes
Peabody concluded not to drive home
The engineer says all he promised t.
do was to get the horse out, and h
got it out. But Peabody, somehow
don't appear to be satisfied.

POverty-Stricken.

A pitiable sight was witnessed yes
terday on High street. A family of
North Carolinians, numbering five
reached here yesterday, drawing q wag-
on which contained their few worldly
effects, which they had drawn by hand
from Chillicothe, where the horse they
had possessed died, They were almost
destitute of clothing, and utterly so Of
the other necessaries oflife. Theyhad
left their Carolina home for the north
in the hope of bettering their condi-
ton, and were bound to point in In
diana near Indianapolis.
Colonel Green led the van to
their assistan ce, collecting about eighty
dollars in mon ey for them, while other
sympathizing citizens supplied them
with clothing and food, With the
money they were enabled to purchase
horse and have gone on their way
reioicing.-TColumbus Dispatch.
The sequel to the above rather as
tonished the charitable citizens of Co.
lumbus 1t was ascertained that the
travellers had perpetrated fraud, hav
ing sent their horse around Columbus
and pulled the wagon by hand in ord
er to make their poverty -striken ap
pearance more effective Chillicoth
Register.

NTanufacturine1n the West.

How to get more for the production
of the Western farm, will be answered
surely and practically by building up
manufactures in the West, and not so
certainly otherwise. Every bushel of
our surplus productions which are
shipped to consumers in the Esst, or
to the seaboard for expectation, costs
the Western producers a heavy tax
for transportation. Suppose by build
ing up manufacturing in the West by
which we create a community of con
sumcrs, we are enabled to sell a large
part of our surplus at home; thus we
save not only transportation on this,
but on the manufactured articles we
use, which at present we ship from
the East. What we need to do is to
manufacture to supply our own neces-
saries, and feed the operatives in the
mills and shops. We have the raw
material in the greatest abundance for
manufacturing, and we produce a great
surplus to feed with. We want to take
a more practical, common-sense view
of our troubles than we have, and that
done we shall find that the fault lies
more at our own doors than we had
suspected. Every town in the West,
suitably situated for some kind of
manufacturing should hold out every
reasonable inducement for the location
of the mills and shops of the opera
tives If in every such town an addi-
tional thousand Industrious consumers
could thus be located, it would make
home market for many thousand
dollars worth of the farm production.
We want to learn this lesson in the
West as speedily as possible, fer here
in is practical solution of the ques-
tions and troubles which beset US
Indiana Farmer.

Judge Gilmore.

Judge Gilmore has been elected. If
there aOaS q Shad0ao of truth IN alleged
charges, the more does 1t 6ehooUe him
to see to 1T that during his term upon
the Supreme Bench, no confrmatory
evidence IS added. He now occupies
position personifying Democratic
integrity, purity and temperance, and
if he fails to meet the expectations of
his friends, he will not only put them
in false position, but the golden op-
portunity of his life will have been
thrown away. His own good name
and the reputation of his party are
trusted to his keeping. He must not
be false to reposed confidence. Am

ROCK ME TO SLEEP.

backward. turn backward. oh Time in your flight
Make me child again, just for tonight;
Moth er, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as OF yOre-
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumbcrs your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Backward, flow backward. oh tide of the years
L am SO weary of tolls and of tears
Toll without recompenSe-tearS all in vain
Take me and give me to childhood again.
l have grown weary OF dust and decay,
Weary of fiinging my souls wealth away
" cary of sowing for others TO reap;
Rock me to sleep, Elother-rock me to sleepl
Tired OF the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother. oh, mother, my heart calls for Youi
Many q summer the grass has grown green
and faded-our faces between
ct with strong yearnlngS and passionate pain,
Long to- hight of your presence aga in;
Come from the silence so long and so deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Over my heart in the days that are flown,
No love like u mothers love ever has shown
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unSeltish, and patient like yours.
None like a mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and world-weary brain;
soft calm o'er my heavy lids creep
Roek me to sleep. mother-rock me to sleep.
Come let your brown hair, just lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
Let it tall over my forehead to night,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For with its sunny-edge shadows once more,
Hap'ly will throng the sweet visions of yore
Lovingly, softly. its bright billows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.
Mother, dear mother! the years have been long
Since last huShed to your lullaby song
Sing them, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have been but dream;
Clasp to your arms in a loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mosherrock me to sleep.

Behold the sagacious Bulldog!

b0nOlO GnO SdSdCIOUkS Du1l-DOS!
Let those who maintain that instinct
is the sole governor of an animals
motion sit down and hear about bull
dog at Alexdndria, Va. This bulldog
had combat with a fellow cur, and
found in the course of the conflict that
this fellow cur was to much for him
When this fact had made it's way
through his skull the wersted dog fell
dead and motionless to the ground
The victorious dog gave his PROSTATE
form parting chew or two, and then
strutted around with an air of impor-
tance beftting the occasion. In short
time he took up the line of march for
home. AS his footsteps were dying
away in the distance the eye of the
PROSTATE dog slightly Enclosed. See
ing the victor in the distance and or
the retreat he opened his eyes widely,
and when the victor turned a corner
and was out of sight the PROSTATE dog
arose from the earth, shook the dirt
from his garments, and logged of
home with a broad grin on his face
Are we to be told that such dog haC
no "intellect into him?"

In recognition of a custom older
than Ohio, ,iand responsive to the relig-
ious sentiment in this State, 1 desig-
nate the last Thursday Of this month
of November, being the 26th dag of
the month, as day for thanksgiving
and prayer.
It is to be hoped that the people up
on that day will rest from toll and la
Dor, assemble at their accustomed pla-
ees of worship and in their respective
family circles, and there unite in
thanks to God for the manifold bless
ings that have crowned the year; for
the health, prosperity and peace that
have prevailed within our borders.
Given at the Executive Department,

THE II HER AID.
THURSDAY, NOV. Il, 1874,
The following, from the New Al

The following, from the New Al
bany Ledger-Standard the leading
Democratic organ in Southern Indiana,
is sensible and timely; we hope the
newspapers of the entire State will
calmly discuss the liquor question,
not in the spirit of political partisans,
but in the light of reason and COM
mon sense, and not By the abuse Of
the present law nor Of it's opponents
But let the question be approached
and thoroughly ventilated Lot us
listen to one another and find, if pos
sible, that just means in the law that
shall best regulate the traffic, for that
appears now to be the only remedy
that we have, except by total prohibi-
ton, and that, to he effective, must be
backed by the moral sentiment Of
decisive majority of the people, and
then BY the rigorous enforcement by
local officers"

The Wilmington Republican says
Wilson township takes the premium
over anything we have seen in the
corn line this year. Isaiah PeelIe left
at our office a stalk of corn grown on
his place that measured 144 feet high.
1t has two ears of corn on; each foot
in length, and the lower one starting
out from the stalk at eight feet from
the ground. Mr.. P. Says great deal
of his corn has two good ears on a
stalk, and that quantity Of it is as
high as the sample shown.
