Dent be Melancholy.

If We would habituate ourselves
to look upon the pleasant eide Of
things. to rejoice over what we have,
and grieve not for what we have
not, we should find ourselves much
more pleasantly handled than we
usually are. We conceive it to be
shame, and when regarded 10 its
connection a sin, to be moping about
under such bright skies and over
such pleasant fields with the "blues"
on. Boys should be taught to cover
up their melancholy thoughts as they
would bury out OF sight their dead
canaries. Girls should be educated
to the notion that Hthe danes" are
not genteel, snd that to be so sad
when there is no good ground for il
is vulgar. Just as The tree is
bent" etc. A generation we hope
for, who will bold il religious duty
to reflect the happy face of nature
from their happy faces. Everything
50 universally wheels into The right
lines az last, ana proves that lt ls all
tor the best, that we verify believe q
very long face ought to be put down
as nuisance 10 the street, and a
bore within doors; and IL that were
not sufficient to abs:e ii, let is be so-
thoritiyely announced that it will be
considered as black flag, thrown
out as token Of an evil conscisDce.
Sorrow is sacred, and grief is not
always TO be avoided. Bot meIan-
choly is humbug. sham, and a.,

KILLING A FRUIT THIEF.
Tho Extreme 20 which n Man may Not Go In
Defending his Property.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Oct. 25.-On Saturday,
the 10th inst. the Tannehill murder trial came
10 close. The fncs In tho case are briefly
these: ON tho evening of Aug. IL, 1873. William
McNuit. aged 90. went to tho blacksmith shop
Of Isaac Pnirh in Housionville. aud proposed
that they should 20 to Mr.. Tannchil's peach
orchard. about Ave and half miles distant.
and get some peaches. Tho proposition was
agreed to. and they set out in a onehorso
wagon. On the way they passed. the house OF
Samuel White, and persuaded Joseph McNu,t.
who was working ut Whites to accompany
them. The three arrived Mt Tannehil's
little before Q T. VI. In passing the Tnnnehill
house they saw window raised and n light
burning. and therefore drove past the orchard
near thu road. and waited nearly hall an hour
Tor the 1annrhllls 10 retire. From the wood
they went to the orchard. They had not been
there more than q minute, rs Joseph ,McNutt
and Patch testify. before n shot was fired. None
Of them knew from what direction IT came.
Tho thrco Jumped over tho fence and ran
short distance Wiliiam MrNuit began - stag
ger, and tlcn fell 10y the roadside. Patch hur-
fied for q ncighbor. and In about half an hour
;hcl, Lad brought the wagon and started home.
but William died on tho way. The man that
flredthe shot was John Tannchill. In less than
i've minuics after the shooting he. returned to
tho house. and. on being asked II he had seen
any person. said that he had seen three men
in the orchard and had shot TO scare them
away. He did not know that he had shot any
one until the next morning.
The shooting crented much excitement. and
there was some talk of lynching the murderer.
Tannohll was arrested and released on bail.
The trial was begun on the 10th. There was
strong array u counsel on both sides. The de-
Tense showed that Tannehill did not see tho
man; that he did not shoot with intent TO Kill /;
that, public sentiment applauds man Tor de-
nal thieves and punderers and proved the UNI
exceptionable good character 81 Tannehill.
The prosecution held that Tannehill carelessly,
II not purposely. shot in the direction Of the
thieves, knowing them TO be about; that il was
gives no man the right 10 defend his property
by such violent means. The jury after do.
liberation OF ak hours. rendered verdict OF
" mRnslaughtcr.'
This case is Of peculiar interest to fruit grow
ers. Through this section of country there are
orchards. vineyards, &C. Some Of these are
doubtless committed by tramps. but many OF
them are not and the owners have begun to
look about for some more available and ready
means OF protection than the law.
