THE SEED AND THE Sewers

Ever so little the seed may be
Ever so little the hand,
But when it is sOwn ii must grow, you see,
And develop its nature, weed, Hover or
tree;
The sunshine, the air and the dew are free
At its command.
If the seed be good, we rejoice iA hope
OF the harvest it will yield;
We wait and watch IA its sprin9ng up,
Admire its growth, and'count on the crop
That will come from the little seeds we
drop
In the great wide field.
But if we hccdlesSly' scatter wide
Seeds we may happen to lind,
We care not for culture or what may be-
tide,
We sow here and there on the highway
side
Whether they've lived or whether they've
died
We never mind.
Yet every sOwcr must one day reap
Fruit from the seed he has sOwn
How carefully then 1t becomes us to kccI
A watchful eye on the seed, and seek
To SOW what is good, that we may moi
weep.

HORSE STEALING.-CAfruRE, BY
Town SARGEANT CARRAoo, OF THE
SUPPOSED THIEvEs.-Last Saturday,
about 10 o'clock, two men rode
through town, mounted ON two very
fine horses, which looked as though
they were about ready to drop from
hard riding. They went on up the
pike toward Palatine About two
hours afterward-12 o'clock-two
men arrived at the Wallace House,
on the look cut for two horse thieves.
Their description of the men and
horses corresponded exactly with
those that had passed through town
two hours before. Immediately AL
frey Carraco, town Sergeant, accom-
panied by Marccllus Carraco, James
Bell, and Ed. Shay, started in pur-
suit of the thieves. They got on
their track Immediately, and started
up the river road after them. 1t APP
pears that Sargcaht Carraco was
ahead of tile rest of them, aid came
upon them at Pleasant Valley, nine
miles from town. One of them was
q young man, and the other an old
man GO years of age. Carraco ar
rested the young man who was in the
act of getting drink of water neal
the old Jones House, and turned him
over to Bell and Marcellus, and went
to arrest the old man. He was met
by the old man with an AK, ready foi
business. He Immediately leveled
his shooting iron" on the old fellow
and ordered him to surrender, which
he did The party then returned tc
town with their game, and put them
in Jail. They gave their names as
John Harris and John Parker. The
man from whom they stole the horses
was John Griffith, of Jones' Mills
Westmoreland County, Pa, where
they got the horses three days prcvi
Gus. They had stolen saddle from
VIM. Mall, of Bakersyille, Somer
set County, six miles rom where the
property was stolen. Mr.. Griffith rec
ognized the horses as his, but says
he never saw the men before. A re.
ward of $50 was Uttered for the ar
rest ofthe men, which Sergeant Car.
raco received, and divided among the
party. A preliminary exaihiiiation
was held before Squire Hayes Satur-
day evening, the result of which was
they were held to answer an indict-
ment for horse stealing. They would
not willingly return to Pennsylvania
and will have to remain in Jail here
until requisition is obtained from
the Governor, when they will be re

CRUSHED BY THE CARs-BRAKEMAN
SAFER Run OVER AND krLLED.--On
Sunday morning at five o'clock, just
as dawn had broken, Fillmore Saer,
yard brakeman of the night shift
ing crew, met with an accident which
proved fatal several hours afterward.
The unfortunate man is described as
being at best not very agile in his
movements, and on this account was
particularly watched by his fellow
employees. At the time Of the acct
dent, the shifting engine, No. 242,
was backing four cars of coke into
the siding near the ID Office, at the
upper end of Water street and Sears
was charged with the duty Of I'M
coupling them. Conductor McElwee
says he charged him particularly to
wait until the engine had stopped,
but not hecdlng the warning, he step
ped between the tank of the engine
and the cars. But before he could
step out, he was caught by the wheel
of the tender and thrown down upon
the rails. The rear tank wheel pass
cd partially over his legs at the hips
just escaping the vitals. The conduc-
tor Immediately shouted to the epgl-
ncer who stopped the engine, and al
most INSTANTLY afterward backed
about six inches. 1t was then discov-
cred that the tank shoe had caught
the manglcd man in the hip and it
was found necessary to jack up the
tender before lie could be e&tlicated.
He was at once conveyed to his resi-
dencc out Pittsburgh street and med
ical aid was summoned. His right
leg was found to be almost severed
from his body and the left very much
mangled. Tie loss of blood, the To-
cation and extent of his injuries
made it evident that no human aid
could save the life of young Fillmore
Saer He did not seem to suffer
much pain, however, and made the
remark when taken home that he was
"not much hurt" He fingered until
about eight o'clock, when he sank
into that eternal sleep which knows
no waking.
Squire Mccormick was notified
and jury of inquest composed Of
Major Benz. Pritchard, James X. Per
cy, James McGrath, Geo. b. McCor-
mick, NJ. Goldsmith and Andrew
Cutler, was summoned, and after
viewing the remains and hearing the
evidence Of the conductor, engineer
Burns and fireman Frank McCrary,
rendered verdict in accordance with
the facts.
Deceased was twenty-five years of
age and has been resident of Con
nellsvillc for soiire time past but he
was only only employed in the capac-
ity mentioned three nights when
death overlook him. He leaves
young wife to whom lie has been
married but six months.
His parents, who reside at Rivcs-
vile, w. Va, and who are reputed
to be well endowed with worldly
wealth, were notified by telegraph,
and on. Monday the remains were for
warded to tlrat place for burial. Sears
was member of the Baltic and Ohio
Relief Association and his wife will
get 81 800 ConneHsUils Courier.
The young man was son Of Mr..
Beckwith Sacr, the mans who was
drowned here few years ago, and
grandson Of Mr.. j. w. Saer, row a
resident Of this place.

The RED MEN.-On Saturday night,
the End instant, the Red Men visited
the house inhabited by Festus Elem
ing, situated in Fairmont district,
some three miles from this place, for
the purpose of thrashing him for liv-
ing and unlawftilly cohabiting with
one Melissa Pyle. When they arri-
we'd at their destination they found
the nest still warm but the bird had
taken alarm and flown away. How
ever the nest was not entirely empty
for the aforesaid Melissa was repos-
ing quietly therein. Now, the afore-
mentioned Festus and Melissa are
not man and wife, but have been liv-
ing as such for some time past in
open violation of the law, and the
night raiders determined to break up
the unholy alliance, hence their visit.
The Red Men not having found him
for whom they sought, proceeded to
vent their righteous indignation upon
the frail Melissa. They first applied
sundry shingles in which holes had
been previously bored, upon a name
less portion Of her anatomy, after
which a bountiful supply Of warm
tar, followed by soft, downy feathers,
was applied to her naked body. The
Red Men then quietly withdrew

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. TUE DROWN
ING or A LITTLE G;aL.-We neglected
to mention the happening, last week,
of a horrible accident, that occurred
on the 9TH day Of July. to Dora Co
bun, aged three years, the bright lit
tie daughter Of Mr.. Columbus Cobun,
who lives near Collins Ferry. AS
far as we can learn the following are
the facts: The little girl had gone
from her home to the river, short
distance, and was playing in the fer
ry boat, when she fell into the riv-
er. The water being deep, and Of
course she could not swim, was
drowned. When found, it is sup
posed about half an hour after she
fell in the river, she was dead, and
had driftcd to the shore. All effort
to bring her back to life proved fruit
less. The parents certainly have the
sympathy of all in their bercave-

from Dogtown; this county, to the
Waynesbirg Messenger, under tile

and ware room ON the rear porch.
Mr.. Woodruff and family lived in one
end of the house; the middle room
was the store room. Mr.. A. T. Minor

cupied the other end. The fire kin
died from the stove pipe and had

to the store before it was discovered.
The mill belonging to Mr.. Woodruff;
better known as the sShriver and
Santee" mill, was saved by making
good use of the water brigade.
This is a new town laid out by j.
w. Woodruff about one year ago. 1t

one blacksmith, one cabinet shop, land
one pottery, with good coal mine in
