|, Notorious Charactcr Caught.


For some months past a number of
farmers residing in Delaware county,
Pa, near Booths Corner, have been
systematically robbed of their poultry.
Those who had been plundered, notified
the police of this city and also the county
constables, of their losses, and a strict
watch has been kept up for the purpose
of catching the thieves, but to no avail
until Friday morning last.
On that day about 3 O'Clock in the
morning, a police officer of Chester, took
charge of "A team that was passing
through that city, the occupants thereof
escaping. This action on the part of the
Chester officer, led to the arrest of John
Sholl, and has been the means no doubt
of breaking up the gang of plunderers.
After the arrest of Sholl, the efforts of
the officers were redoubled, and on Sat
urday afternoon county constable Isaac
Dillon proceeded out into Brandywine
II Hundred, and succeeded in arresting the
notorious Harry Scott, alias New York
Scotty. 1he prisoner was taken to Ches-
ter, and delivered over to the custody OF
the officers of that city. 1t appears that
he and Sholl, together 1t issupposed have
for the past two months been stealing
poultry, and after killing it, made regu-
lar trips to Philadelphia, twice a week
The farmers who have been robbed state
that their losses together will amount to
about $500. On Saturday Isaac Smith
procured search warrant from Esquire
Hagany and upon searching the proper
ty of Sholl discovered "a quantity of poul-
try belonging to him.

A Mysterious Murder.

Willis James was believed to be the
murderer of five persons in Clark coun-
ty, Mo-, but he has been acquitted,
there being very slight evidence against
him. If he is innocent, the crime is in
deed mystery. The murdered persons
were the Spencer family, consisting of
a farmer and his two sons and two
daughters. The father and one son
were killed in barn, the other son and
daughter in the house, and the re-
naming daughter in a field close by. No
motive for this horrible butchery has
been discovered. James is relative,
and it is not known that there was any
quarrel between him and the Spencers.
No robbery was committed. James
gave the first information of the crime,
having, as he said, found the bodies on
going to the house on an errand. There
was little blood on his handkerchief.
but he said that it had come from his
nose; and several splashes on his hat.
that looked as though they might be
blood, but chemist was not willing to
swear what they were. Conviction was
impossible on such slight evidence, and
no more could be obtained.

Words of Wisdom.

Moroseness is always the evening of
turbulence.
Charity is frequently best displayed
in helping others to help themselves.
Men, till matter be done, wonder
that it can be done; and as soon as it is
done, wonder again that twas no sooner
done.
Suffer not your spirit to be subdued
by misfortunes; but, on the contrary,
steer right onward, with a courage
greater than your fate seems to allow.
Away sspeak the truth, but speak it in
pleasing manner. Truth is the picture;
tine manner is the frame that displays it
to advantage.
Men frequently do not exercise as
much discretion as some of the smaller
animals. In prosperous times all labor
ers have abundance. Then is the time
to save for winter and financial storms.
Angels in the grave, will not question
thee as to the amount of wealth thou
hast left behind thee, but of good deeds
thou hast done in the world, to entitle
thee to a seat among the blessed
Koran.
The great wealth of nations has always
been and must always be based on agri
culture. Ont of the earth, directly OF
indirectly, comes all upon which men
subsist and need for food or raiment.
In it's employment, come freshness and
an independence known to no other oc-
cupation.
Quarrels, like thunder storms, would
end in sunshine if it were not for the de
termination to have the last word. If
you are scolded or criticised just bite
you lips and keep still, and it will soon
be over; but if you retort you are in
''for three years of the war;" Many
man pours himself in torrents of rain
for five minutes and then breaks out into
the sunshine of good temper again will
settle down into a three days dismal
drizzle if he is weak enough to insist on
having that last word.

Bijah as q Farmer.

The first peep O. day on these glorious
mornings finds Bijah crawling through
the fence surrounding his little farm.
which he has named "The Bower" A
sign on the station-house side reads:
"cAwsHUN
"An COWS are notyfide to keep off
these lands, or will be sued cording to
law. Also, boys not allowed to cline
the trease or tease the Vegetables. P.

"B. JoY."
Yesterday morning, after a months
hard work at agriculture, Biiah found
that he had put in the following:
at. sage tea, bu. beans,
Jewsharp, peck potatoes,
20 lbs. hay, Some old rye,
2 lemons, l ID. Rio coffee.
OF course, he is only making a COM
mencement. 1t will take year or two
before the chrome and sage tea get
firmly rooted, and one can't expect over
half yield of lemons and coffee the first
year. The early hackman, rushing past
" The bower" yesterday morning, saw
Bijah putting Jumps of sugar on a hill
to coax his hay to come up, and heard
him gleefully singing:
"Oh who would be sailor man,

Oh who would drive four-horse stage,
Or would lawyer be?
Oh who would sit in Congress,

The Telephone in japan

The telephone was no sooner brought
under the notice of the Japanese gov
ernment by the agents for japan of Bells
telephone, than experiments were at
once ordered by Mr.. Ito, the minister of
public works. The first essay was made
along q wire stretched from the Office of
the Great Northern Tele graph Company
in Yokohama to the telegraph station in
Honcho Dori, and subsequently conver-
sation was held between this place and
Toxic along the ordinary line wire. The
experiments having proved to be entire
ly successful, number of instruments
were purchased and the police stations
in the metropolis, the emperor's palace.
and the government departments are,
or will soon be in telephone communi-
cation with each other. On the public
works department being put iato con-
nection with the palace, the emperor
and empress were present, and expressed
their surprise at the result.

Bee Stings.

Mr.. J. d. Hyatt, President of the
New York Microscopical Society, gave
an account of his investigations on the
subject of stings. These studies have
extended over period Of eight years
but only recently have some obscure
points been made out, The genera
form of the stinging organs of the honey
bee is we'll known BY microscopists. I,
consists of horny sheath, within which
| there are two stings, and these, when in
use, are thrust out. There is a poison bag
which discharges its contents into the
sheath. This is point well known, but
it appears that the precise method by
which the fluid makes its way from the
sheath into the wound has not heretofore
been properly explained. According to
the generally accepted explanation the
poison is supposed to flow in channel
formed between the two piercers or
stings, and in this way makes its way
into the wound. Mr.. Hyatt advances
another hypothesis, and believes he has
positive proof that he is right, having
dissected and examined upwards Of q
thousand stings.
On examining properly prepared
sting from a honey bee we notice first
that the piercers are very sharp, and
barbed for some distance from the end,
there being nine barbs pointing upward
on each one. These barbs are gracefully
curved, and it can easily be seen that
when once they find their way into the
flesh it would be difficult to withdraw
them. This explains why the honey bee
sting still remains in the flesh, while the
stings of other insects, with finer barbs.
are withdrawn.
A more careful observation indicates
that the stings are tubes. There appears
to be channel running through the
length of each one, having branches
which terminate in the notches Just
above the barbs. After careful study of
these channels, many of which were
found to contain air or water after mount
ing, and were thus proved to be veritable
channels, the question arose to their
use. The natural inference would be
that they were ducts for the poison, but
there could be found no possible connec-
ton between the poison gland and these
channels, for, as already stated, the
poison flows into the sheath.
After long and patient investigation
the explanation offered is as follows: At
the back part of the sting these channels
open into the sheath, and just in front
of that opening, attached to the stings,
is sort of valve which projects into the
sheath. When, in the operation of sting
ing, the piercers are thrust out, they
carry forN ard this valve so as to close
the front of the sheath, for which pur-
pose they are admirably adapted, and
the poison thus confined within the
sheath makes its way out through these
openings in the stings. Whence once
understood tho operation seems very
simple. There are also some objections
to the common explanation. Gross sec.
tions of the stings show that the walls
are quite thin, but strengthened in some
places by internal deposits. The form
of the stings is such that no channel can
be formed between them to conduct the
poison.

A Three.Eyed Boy,

The Dayton Journal prints II letter
from New Bremen, Ohio, which says: :
Quite wonder has lately made its ap-
pearance, about eight miles north of
New Bremen, in the shape of a fine boy
with three eyes and but one ear. Thc
parents are a young married couple, who
came here to reside from the eastern
portion of Auglaise county about ten
months ago, and have been married a
little more than that period. The child
is about two weeks old. The parents
were astounded to find on the right side of
the face an eye and an ear in their proper
natural positions, and on the left side of
the face another eye in its natural posi-
ton, and about an inch further round on
the left side of the head a third eye, all
perfect in form, but no ear where the
ear ought to be, the place for the left ear
being perfectly smooth and solid as any
other part of the head. The boy is
healthy, sound and bright as boy can
be. The eyes are perfect in sight and
action. When the eye. on the left side
of the face opens or shuts its twin does
the same, both seeming to be controlled
and operated by the one set of nerves.

Relics of the Ashtabula Disaster

The unclaimed relics of the Ashtabula
bridge horror have been sold at auction,
realizing $42.03. AS the authorities
could only afford to advertise the sale in
the local papers, very few persons were
present. The first article sold was a
small English dictionary bearing the
name of IS. Leonard" on the f1y-leaf. 1t
brought ten cents. Then followed a
basket OF broken chinaware, valuable
only as relics to the buyer price
fifteen cents. A solid silver napkin
ring brought ninety-6ve cents red en-
broidered tobacco pouch, fifteen cents;
silk handkerchief, thirty-four cents pair
of shoes worn by girl with deformed
foot, 81 pair of skates, ten cents. No
excitement or agitation was visible until
a young lady, daughter of Mr.. A. Fl.
Stockwell, formerly hotel-keeper of
Ashtabula, who had been missing since
the disaster, detected from link of
silver chain attached to watch, black
ened and burned, that the time piece
and chain had been the property of her
father. She burst into tears, and while
sympathizing women gathered around
her, aman who had just bought the watch
for few cents delivered it to her. The
works of gold watches, which when in
tact were worth $3.50 to $500 each, were
valued at 81 apiece and sold for consid
erably less. In fact, they were worth
less except for curiosities of the great
railroad calamity. There were garments
or shreds that had once been worn by
rich and poor, now practically valueless
on account of the action of fire, water,
ice or snow, or all combined, and the
necessarily rough usage they had re-
ceived in being pulled from the river
and the wreck. There were persons
present who felt inclined to drop tear
as they tenderly handled an infants
tiny shoe which, like the rest, had suf-
fered from the flames. One stocking
middle-aged woman, attired in deep
mourning-Mrs. J. B. Hopkins, of
Painesville-identified as having been
knit by herself for her brother, Mr..
John Potter, not long before the acci-
dent. He left Boston so as to take the
fatal Pacific express, it is supposed, as
has ever been heard of him
since day before that unlucky Friday
night.
