THE whole of the reward of $l25,
offered for the recovery of the
horses and buggy recently stolen
from Dir. Taylor, farmer residing
in the town of Morrison, Whiteside
county, was paid over to Detective
Murphy, Of Warren, who was instru-
mental in recovering the property
and turning it over to the owner.
Mr. Murphy also apprehended the
thief and caused his arrest, and will
be paid the further sum offered for
his conviction, as soon rs the fellow
is tried, abundant evidence of his
guilt having been obtained by the
authorities. Ga(epa Ga=e5te
Deputy Sheriff Healey is entitled
to as much credit for the capture
of the thieves, as Muphy, and more
too, from what we have learned of
the circumstances. Healey was the
first to get onto the right track Of
the thieves, and captured one before
Murphy secured his game. Honor

A SIGNIFICANT STORY.

They found thr man in a wretch

children were gathered around him.

He is Il hard-working, sober man.
But he could neither get work nor
pay for that which he had already
done. To day he went ior tic last
time to collect debt due him by a
rich family, but the gentleman was

from tasting, and seeing us starving
drove him mad SO it ended that

The banker, having fed and warm

A WITTY PARSUN.

A Scotch clergyman by the name
Of Watty Morrison cntrcateu an Off
ccr to pardon poor soldier for some
offence he had committed. The Off
Ger agreed to do soif he would in

should ask. Mr.. Morrison agreed to
this. In Il day or two the Officer dc
mandcd that the ceremony Of hap
tisn he performed on puppy. The
clergyman agreed to it; and party
OF many gentlemen assembled to wit
ness the novel baptism. The pnrson
desired the officer to hold up the pup

Of ofchildrcn, and said:-

Of Scotland, l must proceed accord

Well, then, Major, | begin by the us,l
al question: You acknowledge your

y roar Of laughter burst from the
crowd; the officer threw the randi.
date for baptism away, and thus the
witty minister turned the laugh
against the intidcl who intended to
dcride the sacred ordinance.

RICH WITHOUT MONEY.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands ofmen with nothing in
their POCKET, and thousands without
even pocket, arc rich. A man with
a good sound constitution, a good
stomach, good heart and goo,,
limbs, and a pretty good head piece
is rich. Good bones are better than
gold; tough muscles than silver; and
nerves that fash fire and carry energy
10 every function, are better than
houses and lands.
II is better than landed estate to
have had n tight kind Of a father and
mother. Good breeds and bad breeds
exist among men rs really rs among
herds and horses. Educntion may
do much TO check evil tendencies, or
TO develop good ones; but it is n great
thing to inherit the right proportion
# faculties to start with.

disposition-who is naturally kind,
