hoy by the name Of Doueherty had hear
ing Saturday morpine at the police court,
charged with breaking and entering into the
office Of Messrs. Bancroft & Sons, cotton
manufacturers on the Brandywine, the

Their examination elicted the following
facts: The night watchman In making his
customary round At nine O'Clock, perceived
a light in the Office, but thinking 1t probable
that the room was occupied by some mem-
Der or members of the firm, did not make q
very close investigation. His suspicious were
fully aroused, that all was not right, how
ever, on coming around an hour later and
the light still burning. On going to the Of
fee door and asking, "who's there's" the
light was suddenly extinguished, and
the watchman opened the door just in time
to see three men break through the rear
window and escape into the street. They
were pursued by the watchmap, who, with
the aid of several citizens, succeeded In cap
turing Butcher. He confessed his guilt and
three others, known BY the names
Of Beeson, Doueherty and Mckay. Dough-
erty WAS Immediately sought for and found
In bed. He was arrested and brought to
the station house. They we're held In de-
fault OF 5000 bail for Court. The thieves
were only succeAsiuI In Obtaining 3l4.3O In

presented q scene of the
VI most confusion. At the time of their |
they were engaged in breaking |
open the safe, but their plans were frustrated |
by the timely arrival Of the watchman.

narture; but they had hardly reached
The entrance Of the village when tney
we're met by a party bringing along with
them an orphan boy Of about o or Z
wears of ace, whose parents had been
found murdered some days previously
in one of the detached cottages OF the
neicbborhood, which some still Ventured
to inbabit. The child, at the sight OF
the knife-grinder and his dog, uttered
a loud cry and covered his eyes with his
hands. ~,
"What is the matter, my poor little
felIow?" asked one of the by-standers.
AT LENGTH he was able with difficulty to
reply. his words interrupted with deep
sobs: "That man! that dog. 1t was
thew that killed my mother! | saw it all
from behind the curtain in which l was
hid"
Every one looked in astonishment at
his neighbor, not knowing whether to
believe the strange assertion OF. the child,
when MacHenry produced the pocket
book and informed those around him OF
its contents. The child Immediately
cried out that it was his mothers, and
had anv doubt remained it would have
been dispelled by looking at the portrait
that was contained in it, for its re-
semblance to the poor little boy was
striking. =,
Inprcsence of such proof, there could
be no hesitation, and two men immedi-
atelv set off in pursuit Of the fugitive
but he had already got considerable adj
vance. and fear lent him wings, so that
before they could reach him he had
gained the protection of the German
Outposts. He did not succeed, however,
in evading the fate he merited, for short
" after the news arrived that he had
fallen into the hands Of detachment OF
French trancS-tjreurS, and having been
convicted of being concerned in the
burning of a farm, was Immediately
condemned and shot.
MacHenry adopted the orphan boy,
and never had cause to repent OF his
generous action. Il have now two
children he used to gayly say; "fol
my gentle Intelligent Fanchette is al
most as dear to me as if she were hui
man creature. ."-C6Gm5erS's journal.

THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF THE BAT
TIE OF BENNINGTON, AUG. 10.
on this fair valleys verdant breast
The calm, sweet rays Of summer rest,
And dove-lile peace benignly brOOds
On its sweet lawns and solemn woods
A century since, in flame and smoke,
The storm of battle O'erit broke,
And, ere the invader turned and fed,
These pleasant fields were strewn With dead
stark, quick to act and bold to dare
And Warmers mountain band were there.
And Allen, who had flung the pen
Aside to lead the Berkshire men.
With fiery onset, blow on blow,
They rushed upon the embattled foe,
And swept his squadr0ns from the vale
Like leaves before the autumn gale.
Oh, never may the purple stain
OF combat blot these fields again,
Nor this fair valley ever cease
To wear the placed smile of peace.
Yet here, beside that battlefield
We plight the vow that, ere we yield
The rights for which our fathers bled,
our blood shall steep the ground we tread.

The Story OF Murphy, the Temperance
ReviYaliSt.

In 1869 I was proprietor Of the Brad
lev Hotel in Portland, Me. On the morn
inc of September 3 a party of travellers
from the boat came up to my hotel for
breakfast. After they had washed up
and gone into breakfast, | found one OF
them remained in the office, and sat
with his face in his hands. | asked him
if he wasn't going in to breakfast, and
he said he had no money. told him
to 90 in and get breakfast, and he would
be all right. He said he didn't feel
well, and would like glass of liquor,
and l gave it to him. l saw from his
face that he was recovering from de-
bauch. He told me that his name was
Murray; that he was tailor, penniless
and stranger. | felt sorry for him.
and told him that II he would avoid
drink and get work I'd trust him for a
weeks board. He seemed grateful, and
soon got work in tailOr's shop. Two
days afterward, unknown to me, he be-
gan to drink again, and few days
later, while drunk, he insulted a lady
boarder at supper, and after sup
per, when she was going to her room, he
attempted to outrage her. My clerk
rescued her, and ran up stairs and took
hold of Murray to get him down
stairs. He resisted some, but | got him
down to landing II steps from the
floor, when he tried to throw me over
the balusters, but failed, and [ threw
him over. He didn't seem hurt, and
started to come up stairs again, but /
forced him back, called u policeman,
and had him taken to the statiOn-hOuse.
That night he was very sick. A medi-
cal examination showed that there was
a slight fracture Of the skull, and in a
few days the poor fellow died. | was
tried for mm der, and was convicted of
mansIaughter. In the first place, there
was a great rivalry between Frye, the
prosecutor, and Shepley, my counsel,
and Frye would do any thing to beat
Shepley. In the second place, people
believed that Murray got liquor at my
place, and they we're fanatical enough
to believe that a liquor-seller ought to
be hanged. The fact is, Murray never
had drop of liquor in my house ex-
cept the glass gave him
the first morning. My case
was appealed and l was let out on bail,
Shepley being my bondsman by per-
mission of the Court, though it was
contrary to usage. But the charge of
murder hung over me. All my prop
erty had gone to defray the expenses of
my trial. Ny family was in poverty. 1
was in despair, and took to drinking |
had always drunk some, but | had not
previously been dissipated. Three
weeks after l got out Of Jail my wife
died. That threw me into greater
misery, and drank more. l drank to
such excess that my friends had to put
me back into Jail as place OF safety.
While there Chaplain Sturtevant visited
the jail and held religious services, and
| was converted. The result of my ap-
peal was that | was sentenced to 80
days Imprisonment. After | got out of
jail Mr. William Deering, now of Chi
cago, befriended me, and induced me to
quit liquor and lead a useful life. Pretty
soon after | was released | went into
this temperance work.

Gov. Tilden.
Special to Courier-JOurnal.

Special to Courier-JOurnal.
WASHINGTON, ID. C.-There is no
backdown or faltering in Mr.. Tilden.
He has repeatedly declared, in converse
ton with his friends, that, after having
accepted the nomination of President,
and being elected, it would be cowardly
in him to shrink from the duties i'm
posed on him because Of the conspiracy
of certain politicians. In his interview
some days ago with prominent Congress
men, he was equally emphatic in urging
firmness on the part of Democrats, i'll
and out of Congress, in maintaining
their rights. 1t may be stated here that
Mr.. Tilden favors a far more active
course in developing public opinion than
has been advised by some prominent gen.
tlemen who have been enormously sup
posed to represent him in this crisis.
