Then know that will catch it, and my

Every tinkle of the single has an echo
And thousand burning fancles into active
being spring.
And a thousand bees and hornets meath

AS listen to the patter of the shingle-
Oh so warm.
In a splitter comes my father-whOm |
supposed had gone
To survey the situation and tell her to lay
To see her bending DER me as 4 listen to
the strain
Played by her and by the shingle in wild
and weird refrain.
In sudden intermission, which appears
my only chance,

split my Sunday pants"
She stops moment, draws her breath, the
single holds alOft.
And says: {" had not thought of that

And thou. oh, family doctor. put a good,
soft pOultice on.
And may with fools and ounces everlast-

SHOT BY AN OFFICER.
A Fight in Which Policeman Gets the
Best of His Man.

About o'clock this morning Officer Jas.
McNicholas, of the Sedamsvlle Police Dis
trict, had occasion to arrest John McCel-
Ian and Bill Mcclure, on the Delhi Pike,
in Sedamsville, for stealing milk from
buckets set out by residents in that vicini-
ty. On the way to the Station-house Nc
Guire broke away from the officer and ran
to the house of Wm Scott.
After McNicholas lodged Mcclellan in
the Station-house he went back after
Mcclure. In the meantime Scott had
posted Mcclure of the officers approach,
and the latter being unable to find MEG uire,
took Scott into custody for aiding pris-
oner to escape On the way to the lookup,
Scott suddenly turned on the officer and
struck at him. McNicholas lodged the
blow and drew his slungshot. A rough
and tumble ensued, and Scott succeeded in
getting the weapon away from the officer
He started to 60 away, but turned around
and came at the officer, saving: 'I'll give
it to you anyhow, - you" McNicholas
pulled his revolver, large 3S caliber, and
fired. The bullet struck him in the groin
and he fell. The wound is an ugly one
and will probably be the cause of his
death. The officer assisted in carrying
Scott to the house of his father, on the
Delhi Pike, where physician was called to
relieve his sufferings. Scott is said to be a
dangerous man, and goes by the name Of
bill Davis"
