"I expected it.xould get her into

"I expected itTwould get her into
trouble" was Reuben's remark, which
showed that 'he knew about the crime.
This information he might have got from
the newspapers, sbut still it struck the
detectives as indicative of knowledge
acquired from another source. AS they
were conversing with Reuben they OBJ

adjoining smitby.3 -

Reuben said he would doso, and turned
toward the Office near the gate.
"Now, LETT usnsee what is in that
smithy," one of the detectives said, and,
grasping their revolvers in the pockets
Of their overcOats, they moved in the
direction indicated. AS they reached
the door, they heard a crash, and saw
the figure of n man passing through the
roof near thelchimney. 0cs

said one of the officers, as he sprsng into
the smithy. But the man had disap-
peared, and The officer was justin time
to see the man spring from the roof. As
he reached the ground he fell, and before
he could rise the grip Of both detectives
was upon him.
He was secured in a moment, and
proved to be the man they wanted.
He was tried at the Carlisle Assizes in
April last, and convicted by overwhelm-
ing evidence. Before the time for his
execution arrived, he wrenched apart
one of the bars of his cell door, and with
the jagged edge inflicted a terrible wound
on his throat, from the effects of which
he died in few hours.
BY what means he induced Kate Coul-
ter to accompany him to the Black Tarn
remains mystery. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the girl had some lingering
regard for her former lover, and was led
out of pure goodness of heart to grant
him an interview. Why he removed
her clothing can only be guessed. The
Tarn was frozen over, and here and
there holes had been made for the fish.
Through one of these holes the murderer
must have forced the body, and finding
that the clothes, which were woolen,
stuck to the ice and prevented the body
from going under, the suppositiOn is that
he stripped the corpse and concealed the
apparel where it was subsequently found.

Mr.. Sankey is quiet, thoughtful, in

Moody is a short, stout, honest and ear
nest man, very simple, very direct in his
speech, but with more faculty for telling
stories than for preaching, according to
the present scholarly acceptation of that
term. The Immediate effect upon the
congregation is produced by the singing,
and the picturesque, not TO say dramatic
distribution and manipulation, so to
speak, Of the services. The favorite
hymn is the famous I" Ninety and Nine,"
which Mr.. Saakey. sings with such won
derful expression and pathos as TO draw
tears from many, and affect even the
most uninterested spectator. The fol-
lowing are the frst verses Of this now
famous hymn:

A FRENCH agricultural newspaper fur
nishes some interesting statistics in con.
nection with the number of wolves in
France. There are about two thousand
able-bodied animals of that species, which
destroy to the amount of about one
thusand francs year each. But this
4, two million francs in no way represents
the loss occasioned by their presence !;
II these ,two ,thousand wolves who only de-
your sons thirty thoussnd sheep year,
oblige the farmers to Keep twenty mil-
lion sheep In, folds and render il inn
possible for them to feed in the fields,
ALI this entails great expense. The
writer thinks that ifp proper measures were
taken the yoling wolves might be killed
in April, and the country freed from this
scourge in the course Of few years. 1t
may be doubted, however, whether 1t
would be possible to get rid of wolves
entirely, as in hard winters they come in
from North Germany and Poland. They
are sometimes found at Chantilly and
Fontainebleau.. They are very cunning.
A pack of them will go 10 n fold and
... place themselves all on the same side.
The sheep naturally huddle together at
the other extremity. On a sudden the
wolves dart round, and the terrified
sheep rush in body with such force
across the fold that they often knock
down the barriers which protect them.

. The Inter- Ocean calls attention to the
widespread misunderstanding of the
clause in the constitution of Nebraska
which refers to the election of United
States Senator's. The statement is going
the rounds and exciting considerable
comment, that it orders that the Senators
shall be elected by vote of the people
direct, instead of by vote ofcthe Legisla-
ture as the federal constitution provides.
The new constitution simply provides for
an expression of preference in the choice
Of Senator'S at the polls. Each man may
deposit with his ballot the name Of the
person he would like to see elected to the
Senate. The legislators are thus given a
pretty stronghint as to what the voters
prefer to have them do; they are not
bound to act upon it, but it is tolerably
safe TO assume that they will act upon it
in about one hundred and one cases out
of one hundred. e. e.

AN important decision in regard to the
Use of railroad tickets was made in the
Supreme Court at Portland, Maine, re-
Gently. The Eastern Railroad Company
was sued for damages by gentleman
and wife who rode from Portland to Bos-
ton upon tickets good from Bangor to
Boston, and who we're obliged to leave
the train at Salem the next day for en-
deavoring to return 10 Portland upon the
same tickets. The company claimed
that when ticket had been used in part
in one direction, it is not good for the
balance of its mileage in the opposite di-
rection, but the Court held that the pur-
chasers of the tickets were entitled to
the miles of travel for which they had
paid, without regard to direction, and
awarded the plaintiff STA for the incon-
venience to which they were put in being
obliged to leave the train and purchase
other tickets. .diFs. d.E . II

ATRoY IN. W dispatch states that
the people of Saratoga county are ex-
cited over the discovery of the defalca-
tion of Henry A. Mann, Treasurer of the
county for the last fifteen years. 1t is
known that the sum will reach $40, 900,
and may largely exceed that amount.
Lately his notes went to protest, and
some of his creditors made investigation
and ascertained that he had kept his
credit good for two years by illegally
issuing $4,000 worth of county bonds.
This disclosure was followed by the
failure of Medbury & Mann, paper
collar manufacturers of Ballston. The
junior partner of this concern is the son
of the delinquent official, and the report
is that for some months the firm has been
kept from bankruptcy with money from
