We We're never more painfully surpris-
ed than we Were when the news reached us
That Mr.. Thomas Garland, a former A ltoona
merchant in good standing and gentleman
of heretofore, mpeaChable integrity had
been arrested i'm Philadelphia for arson. he
having, 1t is alleged, secured an insurance
OF y 800 on stock of liquors valued at only
800, and then set fire TO the establishment
containing the same--a tavern kept by him
in that city, The evidence rs TO his guilt if
newspaper reports can be relied on, is very
direct and seemingly undeniable, but we
certainly think that if, he committed the
crime he was not in his right mind, for our
knowledge of him fOrbiis the idea OF impu-
ting such an acttO man in whom we re-
posed so much confidence. He has been held
