Caught in His Own Trap

The Middleton pa. Journal
of the 9th ult. makes the follow
ing note of how a thief was caught
iu his own trap:
Henry Lands, of Lands valley,
suspected that some one was re-
lieviug him of his corn without
the proper remuneration. He
made remark to this effect to a
man who had occasion to be about
the premises, and he suggested
that he should set trap for the
thief. This was agreed upon, and
the proposer of the plan assisted
in arranging the trap. MIR. Ian
dis afterwards unsuspectingly
changed the position OF it, and
the morning, upon going to
see what his luck was, found the
very same man who had been his
kind assistant firmly clasped by
the trap and unable to release him
self. He fully comprehsnded his
humiliating situation and asked
Mr.. Lqndis to put an end to bis
miserable existence by shooting
him. This request, Of course, was
not complied with. However, he
was released without being pros
ecuted.
