surf; even il they had TO chase him
through the village, to catch him. As
the costume they wore was conducive to
rapid running, and they looked ss if they
meant what they said, and he had on his
good clothes-ddn't want to scandalize
the community by the spectacle of four
nearly hacked beings in full hue and cry
after him, he concluded to let the clothes
alone and satisfied his conscience by call
ing them men of sin and children Of
Belial.
ODDS AND ENDS.
All thieves are not roguos. A poor
fellow was before one of our Judges the
other day, charged with stealing some
brass boxes from the railroad company
for which he worked. Ho confessed it,
but said he bad not been paid for weeks;
he had no money and on going home he
found his little daughter crying because
she was hungry. He could not stand
that and took the boxes and sold them to
get food for the little girl. The Judge
suspended sentence" and would have
been brute if he hadn't--A whale,
weighing $4,000 pounds and measuring
60 feet in length, has been on exhibition
In Patterson. Whales are getting COM
mon, and the show didn't draw, except
in the way of flies and mosquitoes. The
proprietor got in debt for board at the
hotel. They offered to pay in whale
chops and whalebone fritters with blub-
Der sauce, The landlord couldn't see it,
although be smelt it, as all the town did
An attachment was gotten out against the
whale, and constable put in possession.
Now he wants to know what to do with
it. He don't dare to leave it, and he is
getting sick by watching it. His wife
says if he has any attachment for her, be
will throw up his attachment for that
whale, He says he will 'throw up
everything else if he has to stay within
100 feet of the vile thing. We are wait

terson official. PIcnics are ripe in July
and August. There was one on Staten
Island few days ago, "Life, Truth and
Justice Association" which is so new and
novel name, that it ought to be patent
ed. The seekers for Life, Truth and JUS
tice are colored, and they didn't propose
to allow any white partakers in the trim
ity of virtues. Some pale-faces intruded
into the festivities, fight ensued, and
razors flashed as thickly as diamonds at
Long Branch ball. A dusky maiden
nearly slashed the Life out of one of the
interlopers, and was bauled before JUS
tice, who, after the testimony was all in =.
concluded there was not Truth enough
in the whole party to stock dime novel,
and sent half Of them to Jail. The ways
of Life, Truth and Justice. are not ways
of pleasantness on Staten Island.-A
dynamite cartridge was deposited in one
of the branch post Offices of the city. The

the right end.-The quickest voyage
