Arthur Ramie, alias Teeter, charged with as

to appear before court at a proper time. On last
Thursday evening, the police were informed that
he was lurking in house on Charles street and
accordingly officers Webb, Rigler, Eitnier and
Williams, accompanied by one or two Others
started after him, but before they could surround
the house, Teeter was appriSed of their coming
and he made sudden and decisive rush for liber.
ty; the officers coming near just as he started gave
chase. Teeter ran down Charles street short dis
tance, where he took to a field and ran toward
the Cherry street bridge at one time one of the Of
flcers was within ten or fifteen feet of him, but
getting his footin hole among the weeds, he fell
and lost ground; another of the party near the f-

didn't halt, shot was discharged and Teeter was
observed to make skip, but he Immediately gath.

distinctly, but Teeter eluded the officers, and it
was evident to them that he had Jumped into an

On the following evening about eight o'clock,
Teeter was observed limping along South Plum

very lame and he toldone or two parties whom he

IAN idle brain is the DEVILS workshop This
fact should be noted by some of the boys of this
town who have become such thoroughly accom-.
plished loafers. Men of mind and marx have
never been known to losfabOut the streets match
ing borrowed nickles or begging fine cut, A. I.
Stewart never roasted on dry goods box five
hours each day, chewing splinters and telling
ghost stories; Commodore Vanderbilt never lean.
ed against hitching post a day and half, wait,
ing for some one to offer him chew of tobacco
Horace Greeley never hung around a bank block
for months, watching for some one to drop roll
of bills or pocket book. Think of these things,
boys, and get to work at something, if you can't
make more than twenty five cents day; or better
still, study and learn something that will be of
use and profit to you in after years.

A great surprise two years ago,
When twas told about
That ALLEN was our Governor,
And No.yes was laid out

We let alone their ears
While some expressed their great regrets;
And some their horhd fears
But then they said. 'twould only be-,
"The triumph ofan hour"
That next fall" they WOtIld show us
Their 10000 power
Alas, though, when that time came round
Now near year ago
They found, 10 their still great surprise,

That was their great mistake"
And, having quit such nonsense"

A NAN who boards on North Market street, to
quiet dog that habitually disturbed his nightly
slumber, slipped out Of the house about midnight
recently, and as the dog was bowling across the
street, he started for it with handful of stones
but the dog ran and entered the yard belonging to
its owner, and the indignant boarder hid behind
the corner of the house to wait for the purp as he
stood there in his shirt sleeves, hatless and bare
footed, the owner of the house stuck his head out
of the window, and pointing double -barrelled
