A Curious Apple Tree.
[From the Newark Advertiser. |

There is growing in Pochuck, Vernon
Township, Sussex County, an apple tree
which bears both sour and sweet apples.
Not only this, but sour and sweet ap-
Piles grow on the same limbs, and some
of the apples are both sour and sweet.

same limb, and be both sour and sweet
one.halt sweet, the other sour. Over a
quarter OF a century ago, one William
Babb, now deceased, in Experimenting,
took bud from an apple tree which bore
greetings and another from tree which
bore sweet apples. Cutting them in
half, he placed the sour and sweet halves
together, and, budding them to the tree,
the above has been the result. Some of
the apples are entirely green in color,
while others have yellowish cast.

Buried Alive.
New London (Conn.) Telegraph

A horrible story is afoat concerning
Mr.. Samuel Lester, of Shelter Island, who
recently suddenly died, as Was sup
posed, at Norwich, and whose body was
taken home for interment. 1t is to the
effect that the person employed to fill
the grave while doing so heard strange
noises coming from the coffin as of a
man trying to break his way out. The
report continues that the man SUPER
Stitiously fed, to return soon after and
hear the noise repeated; that he finally
filled up the grave but said nothing con-
cerning what he had heard until 8 ONE
days after. The coffin was after while
exhumed and it was found that the man
was buried alive, the evidence OF a
struggle for release from his awful tate
being plainly apparent.

A LOT OF BAD BOYS.
MOw They Have Been Depredating on the
Community.

Community.
or late there has loomed up in this
community a band Of youthful thieves
who have piled their nefarious vocation
both night and day in defiance OF the
efforts of the detectives to identify them.
! It was but q short time ago that the
DEMOCRAT chronicled the history OF two
youths, aged respectively II and 1S
years, named James O'Mealle and VIM.
Little, who entered the sleeping apart
ment Of Mrs Madden, residing at the
corner of Constance and Gaiennie
streets, and while the family were at
dinner tapped the old lady's armofr of
$410O and the cut sticks for st. Louis.
Detective Pearson Immediately went
to that city, where he arrested the boys
and recovered $34O0 Of the money.
O'Mealls and Little are now waiting the
time when they shall pay the penalty rof
their crime In the Penitentiary.
But few weeks had elapsed when
three other youths started to travel the
same road to destruction. This firm
consisted OF w. +. Parker, Ferdie Gel
las and Chas. X. Higgins. They, in the
Mrs. Higgins, the aunt of the accused,
| living at the corner of Laurel and Fourth
streets, and carrying trunk out OF one
of the rooms into the yard, rified it OF its
contents, consisting OF a lot OF jewelry,
"a gold watch and chain, valued at $3.50,
and $3.50 SO in specie.
The detectives took the case in hand,
and with the evidence that they had
linked together implicated the three
youths, and the boys, finding that the
cat was out OF the bag, related the diff
ferent parts which they had played in
this little drama. In this case the
wheels Of justice will be clogged, as
Mrs Higgins cannot convict any of the
accused without sending her own
nephew to the penitentiary, and thus
three notorious little villains will be
turned loose on the community to prac-
tice other villainies.
The most recent of all these
robberies was the one perpetrated
on Tuesday morning at the res
idence of Mr.. Keating, on De-
lord street, between Baronne and Caron-
delet, in which three boys, ranging
at o'clock in the morning, and break
ing open his armoir stole pistol, $40
In currency, and jewelry valued at $3.50.
Officers Stalberger and Sherman be-
ing placed in possession OF the facts
succeeded. yesterday, in arresting John
Cronan, Joseph Connors and Curtis
Lewis, and locked them up in the
Central Station, where q DEMOCRAT re-
porter visited them. Curtis Lewis, who

into the firm of Rice Bros. q Co. and
carried off two shotguns. In this latter
job he was accompanied bya white boy
named Willie Lee, who resided ON st.
Charles street, near Girod. He stated
that he would not have been caught in
the Keating robbery had he not had
Cronin and Conners in the ring; that
they were greenhorns and did not un-
derstand the business.

opened and few favorites admitted
The mob, however, showed energy and
determination, forced open the front
door, only to find themselves In the
face OF u second door, guarded by q larffe
detachment Of police. This stopped
them, and resulted very favorably in
only q few hundred outsiders being
present.
The convention opened with "God
Save the Queen" played by Yaeger's 8
band, and sang by the delegates.
Pinch commenced his explanation.
He had attempted to compromise last
night, but failed. He understood that
there had been q great deal OF dissatis-
faction with his rulings He had decided
in favor of the cre1ential report; he
could not stultify himself now, could
not go back, but was willing to recon-
mend the report.
Frank Morey proposed to recommit
the report OF the Committee on Creden-
tials to the committee.
Several attempts were made to get the
minority report read. 81
An attack OF Morey's on Kellogg
raised the first storm, a very mild one.
Morey proposed, in winding up, that
there should be vote on every ques-

Burch wanted a minority report, and
moved to reconsider instead of recon-
nit. A play upon words.
Pinch refused. He had gone thus far
as compromise, would go not step
further. He wanted it reconsdered with
the intention to recommit 1t.
Several other speakers Grated.
The debate was very quiet through
out. no applause being allowed, and the
lobby threatened by Pinch with eject
ment il they said word or took any
part in the proceedings. In fact, there
was general harmony; the members
look sleepy and quite used up by last
nights drunk.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-06-30

Judging from the character Of the
Republican politician, the army of
friends which Packard has provided
with fans and blue badges in the Radi-
cal convention, must expect pay of
some nature for their services to the
Boss. The ignorant darkey will proba-
bly, be gulled by his promises, and as an
act of morality, we are in duty bound
to warn them not to sell their souls-on
credit. Many Of the poor deluded ne
groes who acted as delegates, or as
1871, held in the Customhouse, will
probably remember his promises. For
the benefit of those with treacherous
memories, we reproduce the following
extract from their own organ, the Re
publican, OF August IL, 1871:
Call you this backing your friends;
Give me them that will face me-
Then follows statement to the effect
that Packard has evidently gone back
on his friends, several Of whom assisted
him with their white badges in the con-
vention, and says further, that on the
side door, leading to the Marshal's s
Office, may be found the following no
tice:"

present Radical convention is over, is it
unfair TO suppose that another similar
notice will be found posted on the side
OF the door OF the Marshal's Office

Fourth Day.
GOSSIP.

GOSSIP.
Matters seemed rather quieter and
cooler in Radical political matters this
morning. Several caucuses had been
held and, it was thought, compromise
agreed on.
Pinch was undoubtedly master OF the
situation, although probably majority
OF the convention was opposed to MIN
and his rulings. The whole force OF the
Administration, promises, offices, ETC.,
were brought to bear on L. "a to induce
him to throw up Warmoth. AS War
moths chances have been growing
weaker during the last few days, Pinch
did not seem uninclined to go on regu-
larly and legally with the convention
on the understanding Of an apology
from the Administration for its treat
ment of him, and an important place
on the ticket, and eventually his much
lOnged for Senatorship.
These terms have apparently been
agreed to. Pinch will be recognized,
endorsed, placed on the ticket, sent to
Washington in return for which ne
will allow the convention to go on with
its work and permit ballot for Gov
ernor.
Packard and Warmoth have. both
been thus apparently killed of, and
the two second choices of the opposing
wings. Ludeling and Anderson. will
take their chances before the conven-
ton. Prospects about equal for both.
Pinch and Packard drove around to
the convention in a cab, and remained
Ia deep and earnest conversation from
ten 10 eleven. WarmOth and Ladd
and indeed all opponents, seemed paireo
of and fraternizing.
At 10 the door did not open as prom.
! ised, although large mob beat thereon
for an hour. At II 9 side-door VA
