We have heard from various sources
and from men We believe TO b. reliable, that
there il in our Iosn what would in some
places be called thief, and What many
here call the same thing. A man without
the courage to break into another's house,
but Yho appropriates the money OF anoth.

serviog Of great pity. When trust is be-
trayed, il should be called by its proper
nams, and the man guilty should be brand
ed ''thief"
