contact with accounts OF trade and theft and murder ~
In its dark setting OF crime this jewel sparkles with
briancy all the more striking and attractive and IN
its clear rays discern the only hope for the
aeliverance Of humanity from the great tides OF
ruption that threaten 10 0verwhem and engulf u
wicked world.
the powerful secular press would oftener bring its

When Samuel j. Tilden annihated your gang OF
thieves was found that the most cunning rogues had
always kept their share Of the plumber by them in the
form Of diamonds ereenbacks FiveTweutics. &C., and
similar personal property, which could easily be

delay, with full bags OF "swag, as the ordinary thief
would say. Tweed bolder and with less faith in the
power OF outraged people, invested his stealings in

record This is the for his remaining with you
on that suburban Isle known as Blackwels Island.
Our thieves-we proud OF having more Of them
than any other In the State-our thieves
equally cunning For years they never owned real
estate but kept their go gains in tin boxes ia the

marked: "Mr. not richer than Mr.. c. and Mr..

which will be all that the Sheriff can lind when he

Something may be learned from our Canadian neigh

into contract with Beden, Denison Co. for the con
sIruction OF the Weand Canal they required the firm
