CAPTURED AGAIN.

Last Saturday sheriff Aaron Sanford brought to Newtown a man named Isaac Il. Gall, who some five years ago he ar. rested, charged with mutilaling horse belonging to Mir Isaac Briscoe, of Taun, ton Officer Sanford took the fellow to his home for safe keeping, and as he re, quested certain privileges, on account of sickness. Mr. Sanford let him go into the yard two or three times. Eao... sila.s.s Mr. Sanford had his eye on him. The last time that the man went out he acted 80 strangely, MT. Sanford followed him outside, and from the prisoners move. ments divined his intentions to escape, and as he was making tracks from the barn Mr. Sanford fired upon him two or three times, without effect Gall made good his escape, and has kept out of the State, until recent crime of rape, made it necessary for him to leave New York, and coming to Danbury fell into the hohoo VI CuiCI ol OICC SlOlul, WHO, knowing that Sheriff Sanford wanted Gall telegraphed to him, and MT. San ford went 10 Danbury and got his man, last s .turday, and took him before Jus tice Betts for trial, Gall plead guilty to the charge, and being put under bonds, which he could not raise, he was taken to jail, in Bridgeport, by the Sheriff. Gall is powerful looking, over six feet in height, and has squinty eye, and a cast of countenance best admired behind strong iron bars. As Gall has already served term In the Sta'e's prison it's diet will not terrify him, should he be sentenced again, which is very probable.

 Many things have come before the pub lie as curative agents, but no one ofthem has stood the test that electricity has. IL has grown in favor every year, and tho by no means considered "cure-all," il relieves or cures wide margin of dis eases.

Progress Of Christianity in India.

A paragraph has lately appeared in
several papers giving an extraordina-
ry account of a religions movement
taking place in British India. Ac-
cording to this statement, no fewer
than 10000 persons in the District of
Tinnevelly have, owing mainly to the
ministrations of Bishop Caldwell, in
seven recent months placed themselves
under instruction with view to bap-
tism; and village after village, laying
aside its heathenism, is seeking adj
mission into the Christian fold. 1.-THE
event." it is further stated, is without
precedent" Certainly, assuming the
statement to be correct, the event is
unprecedented; but the Madras Mail
casts doubt upon the whole story.
The first news of the affair, says the
Mail. came from London, and it adds:
"Our Tinneyelly correspondent, who
lives in the heart Of the Society for
the Propagation of tie Gospels Mis-
sion Districts, has told US nothing
about so remarkable an event. If
there is really any reason for doubt on
the subject, which we do not by any
means assume, the Propagation Socie-
ty will, it il to be hoped, speedily clear
it up by the publication Of authcnti-
Gated evidence.

The Chinese solomon.

A version of the real Solomantic
story is to be found in China. AS in
the Hebrew tale, two women had each
OF them an infant, one of which died
by mlsadventure, the bereaved mother

suggest so cruel a measure as divis-
ION of the infant. but simply ordered
that it should be handed to a domes.

official life He rightly surmised that
the real mother would gladly accept
so good chance for her offspring
while the pretended mother, who only
wanted the child in order to dispose
of it, would demur Judgment was
accordingly given in favor of the tear

DISCRIMINATING Yellow Jackets.

W. G. Graves of Pine Flat sends us
the following mode of killing yellow
jackets. 1t will be a cheap way of
getting rid of these pests, which do
much harm. especially in fruit drying
time: Take an old pan that will hold
water, and fill it two-thirds full; pour
three or four spoonsful Of coal oil on
the water and hang piece of meat
fresh or tainted will do, ii makes no
difference to the jackets-so that it
does not quite touch the liqnid. Put
the pan near the place infested. They
will fly around the meat aud drop in
to the oil, which will kill them in five
seconds. BY this plan you can Kill a
bushel in one day, if you have that
many to cxterminate.
