The Clergy man nd the Burglar


 The Boston Herald says of the Rev. Mir. Gage, of Hartford .The Hartford clerpv- man who pluc}zily tackled and overpowered a burglar deserves more credit than was awarded to Luther for throwing his inkstand at the devil
 The New York Sun says ''That geo. graphical, pathological, sentimental preacher the Rev. Dr. Gage of Hartford, who wound up his days work last Sunday by fighting and capturing burglar, showed himself to be berserkir of the church militant This venerable yet stalwart clergyman is at times entertaining, if not amusing in the pulpit: but when he grabbed that armed professional thief and wrestled and rolled with him out of the house and down the steps to the side walk, where help arrived to secure the rascal and his pistol, he preached sermon such as he never preached before to the wicked sin ners of the unrepentant town of Hartford Y"
 One dollar has been sent to the Hartford Tunes as a subscription for purchasing a splendid revolver or some other present to Dr. Gage for his plucky capture of the bur glar on Sunday evening at the risk ot his life The Tunes thereupon opens a subscription list and heads it with ten dollar note of it's own and is ready for the next.
 The Tunes says: "Dr. Gage says he saw that the burglar had something in his hand when he clinched him, and he thought it v as pistol. Accordingly he held that wrist firmly and did not permit the villain to turn his hand But Mir. rumbull, on coming up, noticed that the burglar was turning the weapon in his fingers and getting the muzzle in range with Dr. Gage's body-a clear de- sign to kill. Trumbull's pistol at the bur glars head induced him to give up the weapon, which was loaded with seven bullets Mir. Trumbull was going out to his new house along his pistol, to be in readiness in case of an emerpencV"

More Corruption in Philadelphia.
 PHILADELPH1A, Nov. 29.-Following upon the startling developments in the tax office frauds come allegations against the adminis- tration of the almshouse by the board of guardians of the poor. It is charged that the pay rolls of the employees at the institu- tion have been manipulated, that moneys drawn from the city treasurer to settle bills for food and other necessaries have been mis- appropriated, that supplies have been bought by members of the board for their private use and charged to the almshouse account, that mechanics have been employed on pri- vate residences and their work charged to the city and warrants on the city treasury have been duplicated Afidavits covering the charges in detail will be presented to the councils on Thursday and also will be prob ably submitted to the grand jury which is now in session. Five members and one ex- member of the board are alleged to be impli- cated in the abuses.

The Pacific National Bank.
 BOSTON, Nov. 29.-The affairs of the Pa- cifc are still undergoing examination. In order to resume business the bank must sac- rifce it's present capital stock of $1,O0O, 900 and raise in addition $1, 800, GOO cash. Of this sum it is hoped that $500,00 can be se- cured onWeeks collateral for $1, ,250, 900, while the balance must be subscribed voluntarily If the bank should open it's doors again it would be subject to demands aggregating $3, S5O, GOO, and hence the necessity of 8 large amount of ready cash. In view of the great shrinkage of assets the advantage of being permitted to resume business and thereby have time to meet all claims is clear ly manifest, and if the stockholders are dis posed to put their hands into their pockets and respond generously the loss to both themselves and depositors will ultimately be greatly reduced
