Hunting Down a Murderer.

In January, 1874, James Conroy, a
miner, was assassinated at Spring Brook,
now Moosic, five miles from this city.
Every circumstance pointed to a miner
named Patrick Kelley as the murderer,
and he fled. No movement being made
by the authorities to apprehend the muir
derer, John Jennings, an intimate asso-
ciate of the murdered man, took a solemn
oath over the grave of his friend to follow
Kelley until he had captured him, and
either handed him over to justice or Wis
tied summary vengeance on him himself.
A week after the murder Jennings started
on his search for Kelley He visited the
mining regions of this State, and every
haunt of murderers and other desperadoes
therein, but although hearing OF Kelley
once or twice, could not get on his track
The mining regions of Ohio and Virginia
were next searched. In Virginia he
learned that mah answering Keley's
description had worked there and shot
miner, and was forced to leave, it was be-
lieved, tor Nevada. With only this slight
clew Jennings set out for Nevada, and
vainly searched the diggings for hundreds
OF miles. A month ago he returned home,
broken in health, penniless, and disheart-
ened, but learning that Kelley had left the
country, and that relatives had received
letters from him from the Cornish mines,
he commenced preparations TO sail for
England. Last week at Mahaney City,
Schuylkill County, he was told of man
who was working in a mine near there,
who had on one or two occasions while
drunk boasted of killing man near
Scranton. The description given of this
man so answered Kelley, that Jennings
resolved TO see him before sailing. He
accordingly visited Shenandoah very qui.
city and secured the services of Constable
Maley. The two returned to Mahaney
City and obtained an interview with the
miner. He was at once recognized as
Kelley by Jennings, and made desper.
ate resistonce to arrest, but was secured
and taken to Shenandoah and locked up
to await the action of the Luzerne County
authorities. Kelley was also recognized
by the officer as member of one of the
worst gangs of desperadoes in the coal re-
gions. He was arrested recently for COM
plicity in an outrage at RobinsOn's Patch,
and was out on bail. When taken into
custody he had on his person three loaded
Tevolyers, bloOd-stained bowie-knife, a
slungshot and a billy.-Scranton (Pd.)

SO outrageous that this dull patient earth,
whose homeliness they had adorned and
improved, and which, whatever their
other fortune or vicissitudes, al least had
been their sure inheritance, should have
become so faithless. Small wonder that
the owner of a little house, which had
sunk on the reclaimed waterfront, stopped
in the speechless and solemn absurdity of
his wrath to shake his clenched fist In the
face of the Great Mother.
The real damage 10 life and property
had been so slight, and in such pro-
nounced contrast TO the prevailing terror,
that half an hour later only a sense of the
ludicrous remained with the greater
masses of the people.-Bret Harte, in

A Great Cat.

Talk about cats-none Of them equal
Cato, the recently deceased, the property,
when alive, of Mrs. Stevens Rogers. The
animal lived twenty years, lacking one
month, and when he departed was mourned
for by q large circle of friends. Cato was
a religiously inclined cat. Told, Cato,
it's time you went to bed," his catship
walked sOlemnly TO the chair or stand,
and, placing his paws over his face to
shade his eyes from the glare and glitter
of sinful world, engaged, apparently, in
earnest devotions. Mrs. Rogers is an old
lady, and rather feeble. Cato used TO go
to call her up in the morning, would wait
around until she was ready to go down.
stairs, and then would mimic his mistress
in the manner of her descent. Mrs. X.
was compelled to steady herself by lean
ing against the banister' the cat regularly
went through the same exercise; butupon
getting within three or four steps of the
landing he would spring clear down at a
leap, and then look around in way that
said distinctly, "Why don't you come
down in that shape?' Mrs. Rogers at one
time tainted, ana attention was called to
the fact by Cato, who ran to the old lady's
daughter and succeeded, by pulling and
pushing and crying, to cali her from an
other part OF the house to the mothers as
sistance, probably this being The means
of saving the latter's life. There used to
be kept in the house little box in which
from time to time were deposited pennies
for procuring food for Cato. Cato under
stood the arrangement, and would watch
over his pile carefully as could any little
boy, manifestiug anxiety whenever the
cash ran so low as to be suggestive of
short rations If the box of cOppers gave
out altogether, Cato knew enough to 90 to
the next pocket-book. Cato would allow
the canary TO hop around upon his back,
and would play at "cafch- paw" With il
upon the floor. When Capt. Rogers died
the cat manifested the utmost grief, and
would sit and watch the portrait OF his de-
ceased master exactly as if he saw a re-
semblance between it and him, James, a
son of Mrs. r., came home, and one day
concluded lie would have smoke. He
purchased pipe and tobacco, and laid
them on the table, at once exceedingly in
teresting Cato, who commenced calling
Papa, papa" as he used to do when
Capt. Rogers was still alive. A comb was
set apart for the cats use, as a matter of
! fun, and daily Cato came to have his
! toilet made by some member of the fami-
ly. When finally he was taken sick the
neighbors of Mrs. r. used to come in to
see him; and when at the very last Cato
saw he was going, he raised himself up in
his bed, waved an adieu to his friends,
and sank back into the sleep from which
he never fairly awoke.-Neu London

Preparing Walls for Paper.

ALL walls which have to be papered
even if they are new, should be we'll
rubbed down with large piece of pumice
stone, cut and rubbed TO fiat side; this
will take off all bits and projections. All
holes, cracks and broken places should
then be cerefully stopped with plaster of
Paris. The smallest crevice will serve as
breeding place for vermin, and no house
is safe from them, as they are often in the
wood when the house is built. When the
walls are we'll rubbed down and busted
they may be sized and papered in the
usual manner, but care should be taken
that all edges, corners and laps are we'll
PASTED down, so that there NAV be no
opening for vermin 10 get under the paper
If we are about to repaper a room the old
paper should in all cases be stripped off
and every particle of The old paste washed
clean off the walls. Every hole and crew.
ice should be stopped as before described.
The walls should then he washed with a
weak mixture Of carbolic acid and water,
or other disinfectant, in order to destroy
any remains Of mould or fungi which may
have germinated from the decay of the
flour paste. Except this is done the
mold will appear again, for there is
scarcely anything so difficult to eradicate
If once it gets hold. If these precautions
were taken every time a room is repa-
pered, our bedrooms would be much
more healthy than they now are. A great
improvement would be made in our bed
rooms if the walls behind the skirting.
boards were plastered or cemented down
to the flooring boards, instead of being un-
plastered, thus leaving cavity for the
accumulation Of dust and the harboring
of mice and other vermin, and the conse-
quent conservation Of bad smells. A very
nice style of decorating bedroom is to
paper it with one of those self.colored pa
pers-that is, paper that has been colored
in the pulp-of which there are many
tints made. If the room is done with one
of these, of a suitable tint, and a neat
floral border run around the top and bot
tom, the result will be pleasing and good.
These papers have an advantage over any
other, inasmuch as they have no ground
color upon them. Thus we have less col
oring matter on the walls than by any
paper or other process. Bedroom walls
simply colored with an agreeable tint of
color and bordered with a paper border
are clean looking and healthy.-N. Y.
