Taa4lg BURGLARY.

One of the most remarkable and
tragic burglaries that ever occurred in
this or any other country happened in
Binyhamton, N Y, on Sunday last.
A wealthy merchant Of the city by the
name of Kent was aroused from his
slu,nbers by creaklng door, and,
rising, commenced to search the house,
during which he was confronted by a
masked burglar, who, with what was at
the time supposed to be a pistol, COM
manded him to go back to bed and re-
main quiet or violence would ensue.
Back 10 bed went Mr.. Kent, and the
burglar, bringing up the rear, went
through the wealthy merchants pockets
and left the room, closing the door be-
hind him. Kent Immediately sprang
from his bed, but the door suddenly
opened and Mr. Burglar for the second
tilne, requested him TO seek his couch
and be calm, which he did, and the
door closed again. Mr.. Kent then hit
upon the happy thought of pinching
The baby, whose cries would drown
what little noise be might make in
getting up, and he did so with the
desired effect. Arising again, he stepped
to the closet, secured his revolver,
turned up the gas aud, quickly opening
the door, saw the masked burglar in an
adjoining room, The pistoladlng then
commenced, aud at the sixth shot he
bit the burglar in the right arm, who
upon finding himself cornered sprang
upon MI Kent, and a terrific struggle
ensued for the possession OF the pistol,
which still contained one load. The
desperate men fought about the room,
then across the hall into the bed room
where Mrs. Kent and her babe were,
then back into the room where the
struggle commenced, one having the
advantage now and then the other, each
knowing that their lives were at stake
and each fighting like demons for the
supremacy. After ten minutes of ter
rible combat the wife, with undaunted
hsrnism, comes to the rescue, seizes the
burglar by the hair and mingles in the
frht. After a moment more OF DIES
peration The burglar was tripped. and,
in order t. save himself loosed his
grasp on the " 'apon; whereupon Kent,
taking advantage of the opportunity,
fired the last ball, which pierced the
mans breast near the nipple. But he
did not yield. He recommended the
contest with redoubled inry, seized Mr..
Kent, hurled him to the floor and
breaking away from the woman, disap
peared in the gloom. In ten nanntes
after he lie it the house he appeared at
the-door of dwelling, three squares
away. and asked for admittance, stating
that he had just been stabbed by DIES
perado on the street. He was ads
mitted, and, placing the stolen property
- consisting of gold watch and
purse-on the table, sank into chair
and gasped. in tones that We're just
audible, for ga doctor; that he was
dying. In halt an hour more the true
state of affairs was known, and the
masked man was placed in charge OF
officer who, under the direction Of
the physician, removed him to quarters
in the j;i, where 1t is expected he will
die from the effects Of the wound.

The Richmond Wing says: "fhc
general demand is that the gambling
scandal, which connects the name OF
county Judge with the weakness of
member of the Legislature, ought to
be investigated, and that, too, in spite
of threats said to have been made of
involving others in the unfortunate
affair. The reputation of all persons
connected with the government Of
Virginia should be above suspicion, and
no public officer should remain quiet
one moment after his name has been
attainted by the breath Of foul rumor
without counting investigation" The
examination should so further, and
include thorough Investigation Of the
Montpelier swindle.

answer the purpose. If by the use of
improved implements we can place the

tried. In some of the western states.

The single argument urged against i'm

taxation. 1t is natural for them to do
so. But where a people see that the
money which they pay in taxes is not
only economically but judiciously inves-
ted the objection ceases. We ask of
our readers careful perusal of the pro-
posed law. 1t should be carefully con
