EB- A priest at Roumania, says the
Pal Mall GGscttc, has lately distinguished
himself by a most generous confession of
his own past peccadilloes, regardless of the
consequences that may fall on his head.
About five years ago the mail running be-
tween Bucharest and Marachesti was at
tackled by brigands, who, after having
murdered the driver and the two gende-
armes forming the escort succeeded in
getting off with sum of about 80, 900
francs. The police of the district imme-
diately started off in pursuit of the culprit,
and the directors of posts and telegraphs
somewhat hastily arrested several innocent
peasants, and put them to the torture, the
only result being that several of them died
under the infiction. The disagreeble
affair was almost forgotten until the other
day, when the Committee of Resistance of
Bakou came upon the trace of the brigands
and the whole Of them were arrested. And
bero followed a most touching incident.
A priest of the village, either touched with
remorse, or finding the game was up con-
fessed that he had hand in the robbery
and even went so far as to point out the
spot where part of the stolen money was
buried. Thus the innocence of the pea
SAINTS who were so unfortunately tortured
has been proved-though not quite TO their
satisfaction.
CB- A farmer named Clearinghouse lives
on an island in Neosho county Missouri,
having acquired the land by purchase from
former tenant. A dispute lately arose
about the validity of his title, and the Set
tiers League, an organization of opponents
of the system by which Garlinghouse's
predecessor got the island, notified him that
he must "quit or die" The farmer accept
ed neither of these alternatives, and sent
word back that he was ga bad man to mob"
The same night the Leaguers rode up to
the house masked and armed. Their leader
got off his horse and kicked open the door.
There was at once flash, a report, and he
fell dead. The Leaguers made concerted
advance ON the open door, and two more
shots from the dark interior wounded two
of their number, and that ended the raid.
They retreated with the killed and wound
ed, and Clearinghouse is still in possession
of the island, having proved that he really
is ga bad man to mob"
a5g- A singular story, but true one, is
the serious harm which has come to Mrs.
Mary Caron, a dress-maker, in Springfield,
Mass, from. the bite of rat Some two
months ago, while she was assisting in
killing one of these troublesome animals
it seized her finger with its teeth, and
would not be removed until it was kicked
Off In few days her hand and arm
swelled frightfully, and the whole side of
her body was paralyzed. She was at times
thrown into commissions, and for many
days had to be kept under the influence of
morphine. Four physicians were in at
tendance. She has now recovered to some
degree from the more terrible affects of the
bite, but her hand is still paralyzed, and
she is much emaciated.
EB- In Olean, New York, the people
were gathered to witness the wedding of
young lady of the village to suitor from
Cortland. The appointed time passed,
and, an hour later, the bridegroom made
his appearance in shocking. state of iu-
toxication. The ceremony was not per-
formed, and that night the offender was
taken from the hotel, tarred and feathered,
and carried out of Olean on rail.
Henry Newby, young farmer in Hills
boro, Ohio, recently became a convert to
Mormonism. He had pretty wife, and
his proposal was TO make another of his
mother-in-law, also handsome woman,
and only forty years old, and remove with
both to Salt Lake. The wife Indignantly
refused to sanction the plan, but her moth
er favored it. The upshot is that Newby
has eloped with his mother-in-law.
Modern Women.
