the habit of exhibiting great portion of his
goods and wares at his front door, as an adj
yertisement. Among the rest, on Tuesday,
there was a suit or two of mems clothing.
Just after payday the Paddys are very nu-
merous about the aforesaid city. They have
Savings Banks there, in which to deposit
their earnings. One Paddy was admiring the
quality Of the material in a pair of pants at
the store door which no one appeared to be
guarding. His fingers were seized with vio-
lent cramp and clung to the pants, apparently
so firmly that he felt compelled to walk away
with them unobserved. He, with few more
ef his comrades got off somewhere-got dry
and short of funds, sold the pants and invest
ed in other more suitable material. The pur-
chaser wore his new pants to town, was OBJ
served and about to be arrested. He ex-
planned and the crampy man was arrested,
fined 81 and costs, and now languishes.

hence the attempt at self destruction.
