MAZOMANIE SICKLE

a STAMPEDE.-Early on Sunday
morning last, a tailor who had been
employed for short time by Murrish 81
Sons, named c. Humler, being sorely
tempted of the devil to do evil. arose
from his bed in Westheiser's boarding
house, and after apparelling himself,
proceeded to appropriate to his own
use certain articles belonging to his
roommate, Mr.. Dan. Healv, namely. a
coat valued at $40 and a gold watch
chain. Rolling the former article I'M
der his arm, and carefully pocketing
the latter, he cautiously slid out of the
hotel-not without having been seen
by Mrs. W., the landlady, who being
unSuspicions, took no notice of his ac-
tons. Then this fractional part of a
man steered westward,-glided down
the railroad track and soon disappeared
from sight. In the meantime, Mr..
Healey having arisen from his couch,
soon missed his coat and watch chain,
and Immediately gave the alarm. Geo.
Whitman, the constable, accompanied
by the landlord OF the hotel, started in
swift pursuit of the Ascending tailor,
and luckily overlook him about three
or four miles west of Town. He gave
himself up without trouble, and on be-
ing questioned by Mr.. Healey as to the
reason why he had purloined his prop
erty, burst into tears. A very sensi-
tive kleptomaniac that, He was soon
after taken to Madison, where he will
be taken care of. There seems to have
been no reason to impel this man to
commit larceny, and the affair must be
set down as case of pure, innate GUS
SedneSS on the part of the pilferer.
