For some time past Cam Sneed has miss
ed certain lumber and nails from his stable
north of the railroad, where the articles
mentioned are sto.ed. The lock has been
repeatedly broken, and the petty burglary
carried quite perseveringly. After the last
raid upon the premises. a school satchel,
containing second reader, spelling book
and slate, with the name of the owner
plainly written in both the books, was
found in the stable by Mr. Cam Sneed
The father of the boy can have the arti-
cles by calling at Mr.. Sneed's office. The
boys name is withheld at present, as the
BAZoO does not know how the satchel GO,
there, and does not wish to do the father
or the boy any injustice. The father, how
ever, will do we'll to clear the matter up
without DELAY.

that" The officer thought he could. and
then quite a scufile ensued. Round the
room, over chairs and ON the floor the two
men struggled, until finally the officer sue

united, and there was a roll of bills
amounting to little more than $500. De-

Typhoid Fever.

Death is making sad inroads among the
citizens of the little town of Pleasant Green.
A short time ago MI. Butts buried daughter
about twenty years of age, and eight DAYS
afterwards followed another daughter. aged
eighteen, to the grave. Mr.. Lickleder,
who about eighteen months ago buried
three children within four days, is row
lying at the point of death-or may have
passed away since the BAzOo's informant
left Pleasant Green. Typhoid fever, the
disease which has already made such
ravages among the people, prevails to an
alarming degree. Everybody seems to be
sick, and many more deaths are expected.

The City's Poor.

Officer Kelly yesterday informed BA-
100 missionary that there are now fifty-two
families who are charges upon the city,
and of this number the greater portion
have one or more children. In many cases
the utmost restitution prevails, and were
il not for the charitable, a great amount of
suffering must have ensued. The mild
winter has indeed proved q blessing, for
otherwise the city would have been bur-
dened beyond its capacity, and no doubt
many would have had to seek aid from
some other quarter.

Mothers should remember it is a more

purify the blood so perfectly as Parker's
Ginger Tonic, advertised in our columns

A Merry Christmas.

That salutation wakens the dullest sen.
sihihty: strikes the tuncfulcst chord in our
hearts; lets in more warmth and drives out
more bitterness from our souls; is spoken
. and accepted by more with a hearty
Good Will and makes more men kin, than
any other expression known to US.
That Christmas is the heartiest, Jolliest
and Lest of all holidays and festivals, al
ayrec. Whether 1t comes from usage, not
now directly influenced by All acceptance
or thought of the Event which it celebrates
or whether, by the inscrutahlr wisdom ana
care Of the Maker, an ever.present and un
failing spirit Of Peace, Love and Good VIII
is specially commissioned to hallow that
day are questions that need not be asked
for each one would probably answer them
~ might best reconcile him to his ideal Of
a perfect Christmas, without any special
reference to tine actual worth Of correct
decision.
1t is enough to know that Christmas is
the best of days and it should be the pride
of Christian to connect that fact with the
names and its significance.
A merry Christmas!
1t will dissolve heart of flint, like a
crystal of ice, except it be absolutely insol-
uble and affected only by fire and doubtless
by that will such be tried.
ltmak.s the penny purchase worth a
mound, adds a worth to every article dis
played, bought or given, that may not be
G impaired with ils ordinary value.
1t adds zcst to hospitality. flavor to the
meat and drink, license t, familiar inter

St. Nicholas for October.

The last number of the present vol umn, shows no diminution in the excel lence that has distinguished the previous issues of the year, and is better augury for the volumn to come than the pages of prospectus.
 The frontispiece is faithful repre- duction of a drawing by W. T. Smedley, and is called ''When we were Boys"
 The opening story is by Prof. H. H. Boyesen. It is a quaint Norwegian legion of 'sThe famine Among the Gnome, beautifully illustrated by Birch. W. G. Stoddard contributes 8 short sketch of boy-ife, with the odd title "Radishville," and MT. Birch's clever pencil comes in play again to illustrate Miss Burnham's verses "A Realized Hope" Maurice Thompson tells, in an interesting way, of the Carolina Sap sucker, and Charles Barnard has capi- tai paper descriptive of | New York Riding School, with six spirited pictures by Kelly.
 Frank R, Stockton contributes one of his characteristic fairy tales entitled The Sisters Three and the Kilmaree,' D and also writes the Very Little Folks story, for which Addie Ledyard has drawn four pretty illustrations. "A Story of a Very Naughty Girl or, My Visit to Mary Jane," is a natural and amusing confession, from the pen of 'Lisbeth Hall. "The Captain of an Orient Base ball Nine" is manly story for boys, by an author who shows that he not only knows how to write good story, but can play ball AS well.
 'Donald and Dorothy" Mrs. Dodge's entertaining serial story, is brought to a happy conclusion exactly what it is the girls and boys must find out for themselves
 Among the many other attractions, are 8 bright play for young folks, by Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz {; paper writ ten and illustrated by D. c. Beard, en- titled "What Can be Made with Hand kerchief, " in which he shows that great resources for home amusement lie con- cealed in the, folds of those necessary luxuries some more "Art and Artist Stories; beautiful pictures by F. H. Lungren funny pictures by l.. Hop kins, and 8 great deal else.

IT has been ascertained at the post office department that, while the re- ceipts and expenditures of the depart ment for the fiscal year 1882 have not been completely tabulated, the prepara- tion of the statement is far enough ad- vanced to indicate that during the last fiscal year the receipts exceed the ex- penditures by over one million dollars. The predictions and hopes of Ex-Post- master-General James are more than realized. This notable result is attribu- table to large increase in the receipts and to the cutting down of the star-route expenditures under James's administra- tion. The department has not, pre- vious to 1882, been self-sustaining, since 1862, and it was so in the latter year owing to the secession of the southern states, with their non-paying service.
