HORSE THEFT EXCITEMENT IN
WEsTPoRT.-Monday Westport had
a rifle to break the dullness of the
times. Two horse thieves from
Clearfeld, whose names we could
not learn, with-a horse and buggy
belonging to one of the Irwins, put
in an appearance in the vicinity of
Westport, pursued by a couple of
limbs Of the law. When the horse
thieves saw their pursuers they de-
serted the buggy and made tracks.
The river was in the way, and they
plunged in. While swimming
across, one of them was shot In the
arm. With one of his paddle wheels
disabled, he gave up. The other
fellow took to dry land, hotly pur-
sned. When driven at bay, he took
to throwing stones, which was imi-
tated by his pursuers, and he got
struck and was captured. They are
both no doubt now taking their grub
behind the bars of ClearEeld county
jail.

His First Attempt at Converting.

A barber who had become CONVEX
ted to religion was told that he must
work for the souls about him. The
tonsorial artist was a diffldent man,
and he did not know how to begin;
but one day pretty hard case came
in to be shaved, and he thought he
would improve the opportunity.
The expected convert was seated in
a chair, duly lathered, the razor
stropped till the edge was as keen
az Damascus blade, and just ready
TO apply to the customers throat,
when the barber. whispered in his
ear: ''Are you prepared to die P"
With bound and a shout the VIC
tim left the chair, crying: Not if 1
know it'-rushed up the street hat
less, and terrified lest he should be
pursued by the, as he supposed,
.would-be murderous barber. The
wielder of the razor has given up
conversion during business hours. .

A VERY LITTLE IN BANK.

Among the subscribers to Audu.
bon's magnificent work on ornitholo-
gy was John Jacob Astor. He was
always ready to encourage such
works, and he put his name down
upon Audubon's book for one
thousand dollars, During the pro-
gress of the work, which proved TO
be more expensive than had been at
first anticipated. Mr.. Audubon Of
ten found himself obliged to call up
on his generous patrons for assis-
ance; but he did not call upon Mr..
Astor until the letter-press and the
plates had been delivered. When
the final delivery had been made,
however, he called upon the great
merchant for his thousand dollars.
"Ah, Mr.. Audubon" said the
owner of millions, "you come in a
very bad time. Money is scarce
and hard, and I have everything
snugly and tightly invested.
And so the ornithologist called,
time after time, and was often put
off. 1t was not because Mr.. Astor
did not wish to pay, but it was from
that strong desire, growing stronger
with his years, TO keep his property
intact, and see it increased. When
he had paid away a hundred thou
sand fer aTeally benevolent purpose,
he felt good, and a man feels good
who has got rid OF an aching tooth.
It was only The wrenching away of
the money that hurt him.
At length Audubon called the
sixth time. Mr.. Astor hac COM
menced to bemoan the low ebb con-
dition of his cash in hand, when he
caught a disapproving look from his
son William, who happened to be
present.
''But," said the old man after a
pause, 81 suppose you want your
money, and, really, l should like to
let you have it. 1 may have a very
little in bank-William, have we
any money in bank ?''
Evidently John Jacob had ex-
pected his son only to answer yes;
and it may be that William b.
thought his father wished to know
something of the bank account. At
any rate, he was just fresh from the
cash on hand page Of the ledger,
and he answered:
"'Yes-we have a littleover hun
dred th ousand in the Bank of New
York, eighty thou sand in the City
Bank, ninety thousand in the Mer-
chants, ninety eight thousand four
hundred in"
"Thatll do, William That'll do |!

can give you q check for the money"

Another daughter, who was up stairs

Within the last two w eeks o Ger

bridge at the head of town. He
succeeded ih persuading Mr. Helm,
who also is German, that some

somewhere during the Revolution
airy war, and that he could find it.
He required $35 i'm money and sill
yer watch. Having no watch Of
his own, Helm borrowed one from
a brother-in-law that cost $50 or $55.
The tramp wrapped the watch in a
woolen cloth and took it up stairs
and locked it in chest, cautioned
them not to open the chest in nine
days else there might he sickness and
death in the family. Helm then
loaned him his best coat yet and
took him in a buggy to the depot.
In the mean time Mrs. Helm opened
the chest, and instead of the watch
found a stone in the .woolen cloth.
The tramp had made the watch, S35

those men who never reads, and is
too poor to take paper and get

WILLTAMsPoRT, Pa, June 27.-
This morning about ten O'Clock three
tramps effected an entrance into a
house on Washington street and
succeeded in stealing some books
and other articles, with which they
were escaping when the attention of
Mr.. Nagle, who keeps q store near
by, was called to them and he en-
deavored to stop them. One of the
three, an Englishman, about twen-
ty-five years OF age, drew large
knife and cut Mr.. Nagle's hand
very badly. Mr., Nagle then drew
his revolver and shot him through

Afterwards the wounded one was

where free thought and free speech are the

humblest Catholic can worship God and prac-
tice the tenets of his religion nnreaGrained and
unfet cred by the interference of the State.
The unprecedented progress and growth OF
Catholicism under the benign influence of free
government and constitutional liberty, shows
that the church is now, as she has always
been, the peoples best and 6ruest friend, and
refuGes the malignant slender that che is, or
has ever boen, the advocate of arbitrary power,
or the fatterer of kings and courtiers. She
teaches her children to ''render unto C9sar the
things that are Cesar's, but unto God the
things that are Gods The spirit of religious
intolerance which fret manifested itself in the
proscriptive laws and constitutional enact
ments, disquslifying Catholics from holding
positions of honor, trust or profit, of most of
the thirteen States, have, happily for us and
our posterity, been gradually amended, re-.
pealed and abolished, until the last vestige of
this discri min ating injustice has, we hope, for
