Too Fond Of Books.

Samuel Alexander, of Rensselaer, Insti-
tute, Troy, N. Y, was arrested for steal
ing, and tells the cause of his fall in the
following narrative The students do not
lodge in the Institute, and Alexander had
a room by himself over book store. Late
one night while sitting at his window he
dropped gold ring, which struck on a
roof below. 1t was young lady's gift, for
the young student was favored and flirt-
ing beau, and he disliked to lose it. So he
took the cord from his bed, made sort
of knotted ladder, and climbed down to the
roof The ring was found, and just as he
was going to reascend he caught a glimpse
through the crack of a shutter of the light
ed but uninhabited interior of the book
store. He saw costly volumes lying around
and the sight ruined him. He pried open
the shutter and went in. There he found
scientific instruments used in his studies of
the handsomest patterns. Making up a
bundle of what pleased him most, he climb
ed back into his own room with the plum
der. His adventure kept him awake all
night, but on visiting the store next day he
found that the theft had not been discover
ed His own social position would in any
event have protected him from suspicion.
He might have stopped here, had not his
love of female appreciation asserted itself
The stolen books made excellent gifts for
his fair acquaintances, who belonged to
families of high social position. Three
made, and Alexander soon got reputation
for princely liberality and elegant TASTE
The book store folks, too, finally connected
that liberality with their losses, and pa
tient investigation exposed the amateur
thief.

Loaded with Grape Shot.

Mr.. Lewis G. Austin, of N. Y, received
from Adams Express Company, some time
since, wooden box about two feet long
and eighteen inches wide, from Boston,
The only man he knew there, was one who
was not inclined to pay him debt Of $10-
900, and he concluded that the box con-
tanned an internal machine. He thought
of the matter over night, and the next day
he concluded to turn it over to the police.
1t was taken to the Thirty-fifth street po-
lice, and one of the sergeants proceeded to
investigate. Procuring a chisel he eau
tiously cut small hole in one end of the
cover, and seeing nothing but sawdust in
serted his fingers to feel for the contents,
close to the side and top was something
about as large as lead pencil which SEEM
ed to run all the way around the box. The
Sergeant's hair began to stand on end. He
had found the fuse. But he continued his
work with the chisel, though with an un-
steady hand. At length the cover was re-
moved without an explosion, and remov-
al of the sawdust disclosed fifteen punches
of grapes, averaging in weight three
pounds each. Mr.. Austin received two
punches.

eB- Another chapter is added to the
romance of the life of Luther Bryant, the
old coin dealer, noticed week before last.
He has instituted suit against pretty
blonde of is named Lizzie Neugebausr for
$1,000 worth of furniture, carpets, orna-
ments, and other things, which, he alleges,
she wrongfully detains. Bryant, who is IA
years old, it appears, has long known and
fancied the girl, and foolishly thought she
would join fortunes with him.
Out of friendship she visited him while
he was in the Tombs, and he, in fit of
generosity, drew up a. paper and giving
her all his furniture and effects, and
gave her $95 to pay the expense of renew
ing them. When he was released he called
upon her and bluntly asked her to marry
him, and because she repeatedly refused to
so tic the future to the past, he has brought
suit to recover his gifts, and has attached
them. In the schedule given to the sheriff
500 articles of furniture, carpets, ETC., are
enumerated, among them the costly album,
silk umbrellas, and other things which
were stolen at the time he says the gold
was carried away.

An AccOmmOdatIng Judge.

Mary Glennon,a a bad woman, was arraign-
ed in the police court at Boston, and the
judge was just writing down her sentence
" four months at the house of industry"
when Miss Glennon sung out, "Make it
six" "Six months, then, Mr.. Clerk, {"
quietly replied his honor. To this Mary
answered, "Oh don't be mean, Judge,
give us eight, and we'll call it square. -
The judge said six months was all that he
could give, and he was sorry.

FROM WEBSTER TOWNSHIP.

Ed JoURNAL:-It is almost a year since any
thing from Webster appeared in the JOURNAL
until last week. We still keep plodding along
adding improvements here and there as circuin-
stance and occasion require.
The "Webstcr Glee Club" are completing
their Concert Hall which, when completed, will
be 2sx4s feet. They have organized Tyroni-
an Society call it Tyrauical Society.
Their Constitution and By-laws are of such
great length that it is absolutely necessary to
add twelve feet 10 the length OF the building.
When finished is intended 10 add thrtv-six feet
Of the Connecticut Charter and the entire book
of Deuteronomy appoint a committee of
thirty-six to see what other additions are neces-
sary to make the society effective.
The temperance organization is still growing.
We have had some trouble with portable gro
ceries, but a settlement has been effected, by
offending parties entering into bonds to bring no
more into the township, and going before JUS
tice Of the peace. pleading guilty and paying
their fines.
A session Of the Webster Sunday School In
sutute is appointed for the 10Th of March, with
a very practical programme The Sabbath
School workers are preparing to acquit them
selves in a creditable manner on the occasion.
The United Brethren in Christ haye been
holding protracted meeting at the Caryl
School House, hall mile west Of the Ten Nile
House, which lasted nearly three weeks, and
with the best of results. Some Is or 20 con-
versions, mostly heads Of families. Husbands
and wives, parents and children were kneeling
at the altar at the same time. 1t was really
pleasing to see such men as Yankee Walker,
wife and daughter, John Muir tlnfrmary Di-
rectorj aud family, William Philips aud wife'
in regular attendance at the meetings, but they
did not join. To Gpd be all the glory, while
there is joy in heaven among the Angels over
returning prodigals, the saints on earth take
courage and cousecrate themselves anew to
God.
The temperance people are organizing for an
effective campaign the coming season. new
society has been organized at Belvilie Ridge.
The first regular monthly meeting will be beld
at Bclvlle Ridge On Tuesday night, 9Th inst,
at which time officers will be elected.

The Christian does not rest his hopes Of heaven

body which be had put OF and laid down three
days before. Thus God was manifest in the
flesh. On the strength Of this evidence, which
can not be gain-said millions have already
aocked to the standard Of Christ awaiting in
blisstui anticipation the dawn of heaven. With
such proofs, few can deem that death is an eter-
nal sleep, and, still more, those who believe
on Christ can not fear to die.
The revision Of the Manual Of the State Con-
ference brought out fully the Congregational
idea Of "a Church without bishop" $40

even Christ. A sentiment which is destined to
prevail to the utter annihilstion of popes, bish-
ops and sects. With such creed Washington
