FOURTH EDITION,
YOuthrul Defsuiter,

This morning boy, apparent y about
l2 years of age, had a partial hearing
before the Mayor on the charge Of steal
ing money from his employer. The boy
has for several months past been
employed in large dry goods store on
Market street as a cash boy. On num-
Der Of occasions during that time sums
of money from ten cents to a adollar have
been missed when the cash accounts for
the day were made up.
About the middle of last week the
proprietor was absent from the city for
one day, and when he returned in the
evening his assistant, who had made up
the accounts for the day, told him that
the cash account was two dollars short
The gentleman feeling tired, deferred
Investigating the matter until morning,
when he found a shortage OF 81 one
dollar and a quarter of which had been
taken that morning after the store was
opened from drawer in which some
change had been left the previous even
ing Feeling certain that the theft
was committed by some one about the
establishment, four silver quarter dol
lars were marked and placed in the
drawer, and in short time they were
also taken.
1t had been noticed that the boy was
in the habit of spending considerable
money, and he WAS at once suspicioned
as being the guilty party The proprie-
tor called him aside, and TOLD him that
he wanted the money he had taken from
the drawer that morning, when the boy,
after hesitating II momclt, put his hand
in his pocket and produced the four
marked quarters.
He then confessed that he had been
taking money for several months, and
from the amounts missed it is supposed
that his populations during that time
will amount to al least SljO. A war
rant was taken ouI tor his a4r">i and
bail entered for his ,Tt"drah'" before
the Mayor this morning, al which time
he was represented by +. ii. Hotlecker,
Esq.
After hearing the evidence of the pro-
prietor, the Mayor said that he would
hold him for his appearance this day
two weeks, Ivy which time he expects
to have il copy Of the law recently
passed by the Pennsylvania Legisla,
ture, in reference to receiving youthful
criminals from this State in the Phila-
delphia House of Refuge. The parents
Of the boy are very respectable, and
keenly feel the trouble and disgrace
that has been brought upon them.

met at John Barney's, Birmingham,
Del. Co., Thursday. Alfred Sharpless
read paper on Indian corn, in which
he lauded the charms of Chester Coun-
ty scenery and how the growing corn
added to its beauty. He spoke of the
usefulness Of the plant, and included
with the opinion that hard corn should
not be fed whole as it was unacted on in
the stomach. DR.. Darlington, however,
thought that driving horse should be
fed on whole corn, as the slow digestion
sustained the strength of the animal
till the next feeding. This caused
discussion as TO whether donble duty
was not imDosed on the animal that
was required to digest food difficult TO
assimilate and work at the same time.
The Colorado potato bug it Was sug-
gested, was running out, several MEM
bers saying that they were in much
smaller numbers this year than in
previous ones, fact supposed to be due
to the multiplication of their enemies,
especially a deadly parasite. The beetle
had not been ali uHmiXed evil, as the
care and watchtulnesS it had involved
had been shown in the better potatoes
produced than before it appeard. Dr..
Darlington suggested this was due 10

the bugs In reply to a question OF

Accident al the CITY Mills.

On Saturday morning a rather pain
ful accident occurred to Robert Elliott,
of the firm of Elliott & Walker ma
chinists, at the city mills, in which Mr.
Elliott had very narrow escape with
his life. The turbine wheel, as usual,
was out of repair, as it always has been
since it was put in, and Mr.. Elliott was
employed to make the necessary repairs
to make it do its work properly. To
effect this purpose Mr.. Elliott had to
Jack up the wheel but when il had
reached an elevated position a screw
flew ont Of the jack, the wheel fell,
and striking block turned it in
a slanting course, striking Mr.. Elliott
on the head, intiicting IA painful but not
a dangerous wound.
Had the wheel not struck the block
and been turned from is parprndlc-
Elar course it would have struck Mr.,
Elliott fair on the hea'! and hav.
instantly killed him. A Young lad
working with him, who escaped injury,
would also have been crushed by the
wheel if it had not turned aside. Mr.
Elliott was taken TO his residence where
his brother-in-law, a physician from
Eeaiord, dressed his wound. He is able
10 be ont walking around this morning.
