Walton Sprague had often heard Amalio
sing the same, song, she having magnif-
cent voice. Joy and sorrow were oom-
mingled at that critical moment. The fact
was solved that they had followed upon the
right trail. Tho two captive girls had been
LUCY aud Amalie, and tho latter was still
living, and would soon be under their pro-
lection. Alas, however, the information
Jelakei had received, joined with the result
Of his ingenious experiment, proved, also,
that poor Lucy Palmedo had fallen victim
to her misfortunes. But one would be
rescued, the other would remain an occupant
of on unknoVR grave in Persian desert.
Walton had his eyes fixed upon poor Frank
Midgely as tho facts above presented wcro
fully settled. He expected to see tho youth
give signs of his great sorrow. On the
contrary the young man advanced toward
the detective and grasping his hand, said:
"Thank Heaven! old boy, there is joy at
heart for you'll"
"And you, Frank, how. my heart bleeds
for you'll"
ooh! mover mind me; Lucy at least is
happy aud relieved Of her suffering"
"l wish we could huvo carried her back
to her father" said Spraguo.

Tom Jalakei, however, bad hot been idle.
Flo had evidently been prepared for the
cxccss of his experiment, as he rapidly
drew in his kite and aa speedily sent it up
again containing the words:
"Come to tho West wall! friends await
you, fail not!"
A few moments later, and the samo voice
was heard once moro from the harom, aud
and the kite was handed down.
"Now, then, our road is clear" said
Jalakci, adding; "you remain hero aud lay
low, while run in and get little oontri-
vance which have prepared to carry our
work to succossful.oud."
Tom Jalakei was gone about ten miputes
WHOM he returned, bearing with him q
number Of ropes with large iron hooks at

perfoct case to throw his ropes over the
wall. The hooks caught, and he was ready
to ascend. Tho three men had learned that
Amalo was close prisoner, and could not
como to tho West wall
"As the mountain would not como to
Mohammcd, why, Mohammcd would 60 to
the mountain"
In other words, now that they were sure
that the object of their search was iu the
building, they had found mode of reach
ing her. Tom Jalakei was proving himself
to be perfect genius 10 thetway of strata

the way to ascend the wall was open, no told
his companions to examine their guns and
see that slf was ready for instant uso Find

 RETURNED TO HER SoHooL-Miss Bentley has gone back to her school in Warren. In my article, a week or two ago, her sisters name, Lilly, was applied to her it should have been Frederick.
 MINISTER. MT. Strong preached at the Center, last Sunday morning, and the Sab bath School had a concert in the afternoon.
 MARRIAGE.-The members of Dea. Smiths family have not all been together before for four years, but they were all present at the marriage of his daughter, Thanksgiving day. We learn that the presents were many and valuable.
 THANKsGIvNe.-This annual festival was observed by the people here as usual. There were many family gatherings, the largest one being the children of the late Daniel Bentley, who met with other friends at the house of MT. Weldon.
 PROF. HALL-He spent Thanksgiving with the family of his brother, MT. Lyman Hall, and I had a fine visit with him. He does not appear any older than he did before he discov- cred the moons revolving around Mars His present business is making observations on the moons of Saturn. He has the finest telescope in use in this country, made by the Clarks of Cambridge, Mass, The object glass is 26 inches in diameter, and the focal distance 33 feet. He still hopes we shall have pleasant morning to witness the great transit vf Venus in Dec. 1882. It appears that Coast Survey men had the means of calculating the latitude 1 and longitude of the rock on the top of Ivy Mountain, with great accuracy, and heexpects to have that for his station, and hope to live and be near hlm at that time, although I do not expect to look through the instrument at | the time of the transit He will bring several assistants, and will probably need two weeks to erect the buildings and make the prepara- l tions.

Morris to the Rescue" "
IToR LITCHFIELD ENQUIRER :

EDITOR LITCHFIELD ENQUIRER:
 Dear S~.-Under the above caption in your issue of the 18th ult., the writer speaks of my 'being an old offender in the matter of allow ing my cattle free range of the highway, also of ''lmpounding Cowles' cattle''
 The impounding of Cowles' cattle was on this wise: When went to my field near sum- set on the day of the disaster at Wallingford, found Cowles' fence separating his meadow from mine blown down, and his oxen, COWS, horse and young cattle, in my meadow in which were one and one half acres of potatoes on which Paris Green had been plentifulIy used, also some corn just right for roasting. As it would not do any good to drive the cat tie into Cowles' lot, the fence being down some thirty rods, rode to his house two miles distant, to let him know the condition of his fence, and the whereabouts of his cattle, which did in as courteous language as could. For this l received from him foul and brutal lan- guage, accompanied with threats of personal injury.
 The next morning when took my COWS to pasture, found (to my surprise), his cattle still in my meadow just entering my potatoes and corn. Something must be done Unless the cattle were watched, they would be pois- oned with the Paris Green and injured from eating the corn.
 A neighbor offered me his yard, and hiring a boy to help me, I, after much trouble, put them into the yard, and sent messenger to notify Cowles that his cattle were safe, and where he could find them. For eight miles travel going and returning, the services of the boy, the use of the yard, and my own trouble, saying nothing nothing of keeping them over night, charged Cowles one dollar and twen- y-five cents.
 III tue matter of my cattle running at large, I will say that for more than fifty years my COWS, during the summer, have been in the street twice day, going to and returning from the pasture. have also fed the grass around my house and barn.
 So far as relates to swearing, it is very pos- sible the imagination of the writer of the ar- ticle to which this refers, was so excited that he really believed did that which he himself would have done under the same circumstan- ces. That there was some tall swearing in court, do not deny, but it was according to law and before Justice of the Peace Other swearing heard none. I am with great re- spect Very truly yours,
 SAMUEL M. ENSIGN.
