obedient boy, started for store where
he was employed, since which time he
has not been seen or heard of by his
parents, despite the most persistent
searches for him. On Monday last,
their, daughter aged 1lvears, ,st.rtad for
school, and, not returning, her moth er

Kate Page, a beautiful young girl,
had hearing at Richmond, Va, on a
charge of house breaking and larceny.
She appeared fashionably and tastily
dressed. Mrs. Emily Wright testified
that the prisoner was seen to enter the
house of the witness, and after her
departure $10.50 was missing from
trunk in her room. Two days after
the house was again'entered and $50 so
was stolen. The evidence of her enter.
ing the house was not satisfactory, and
she was discharged. But for the slight
doubt in her favor, Kate Page would
have been punished with stripes, as the
law makes it imperative on the police
justice to administer the lash on all
parties convicted in his court OF petit
larceny.

The furry in which our Superior
Court at New Castle was placed on
Wednesday last by Mr.. Jonathan
Rhoads the witness who refused, to re-
move his hat was settled in somewhat
different manner by Charles the Second
King Of England about two hundred
years ago, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing which we extract from City
Treasurer, Francis Vincent's notes. 1t
says:
VIM. Penn (the founder Of Pennsyl-
vauia, and the former owner of the
State of Delaware, which he purchased
in two deeds from King Charles bro
ther, James Duke Of York, afterwards
King James the 2nd,) came into the
presence of King Charles, with his hat
on and stood before the King without
removing it. King Charles immediate
ly took off his hat. "Why do you take
of your hat Charles" said Penn to the
King. "It is the custom said the King
in this house for but one to be covered
at a time.''

1t has been generally believed that u
large proportion of the workmen in fac
tories in this country, where exception
al skill is required, are foreigners.-
This has been particularly true of
watch making. But Mr.. r Il. Robbins,
Treasurer of the American Watch Com
pany at Waltham, Mass, declares that
of the more than one thousand people
now en- ployed in their shops not five
per cent. are of foreign birth, and that
very few of this number were ever
watchmakers or machinists. He asserts
that it is wholly to the genius and
skill of Americans that the reputation
of the factory is due.
