y Last Friday night cowsrdly burglar
entered the IIailer & Bro. tannery tshd
broke into the Office; Mr.. John Heller,
hearing the noise, arose, aud gun ~ hand,
went out, when the thief just emerged
through the door, with soine art icles under
his arm. Mr.. Halter promptly levelrd the
gun at him, which brought the astonishpd
visitor to a stand, and at once prayed, "For
God's sake, spare my life" Upon which
Mr.. Hailer put down his gun to hear what
aIDlogy he had To offer. The thief sp-
preached nearer and nearer, and Mr.. Hail
er in waiting too long, allowed him to APP
proach too near, when suddenly the coward
knocked or pushed him down, took the gun
from him. AMI used il most unmercifully in
pounding Mr.. Hailer's head, also knocking
him on the shoulder, dislocuting the same
breaking the gun in pieces, one Of the bar
rels of which he carried with him across Il Q
Lehigh where he hid 1t under the embank-
ment. 81 | am informed. Mr.. Hailer was
so severely bruised aud bester, that he wHs
confined to his bell We would suggest
tha, the wisest way 4, d" with these night
visitors is to let themS hsves good, warm,
shot greeting. We are sure John Hsiler
will do that the next time.
Last weeks ADVOCATE brought us
very interesting letter from eur old neigh.
Dor, Mr., VIM. Craig. now Of Blue Springs.
Nebraska. Intuition and intellect at once
raIIied us 10 memorv's halls, and there We
saw him naturally, with sll OF his family,
as in days gone by; with all his innoxlous
sports, his teeth Ola his tongue. the mlu'c
eyes, pulling fingers, walking by our side,
and all at once receiving blow from be-
hind, caused by one of Willis l~gs, slappiug
it's loot ON our quarters, and Will walking
straig It along, as though none OF his M.
9's had been trrspsssing. These, as well
rs all along the line Of his integrity, int,l
lgence. modesiy and sobriety, were thrown
open 10 US as we glanced through the hall
~fa pleasant memory.
We have but very few single young
meu and ladies Of the age Of twentv.ope
hete, but quite, goodly number Of youth
and small children. Our young boys have
no lazy bones about themi and we eau
speak in the highest tones Of them as re-
CARDS the working part of them. But there
is one thing we are most vociferously op-
,sosed to, silly, foolhardy boys Of the tender
age oi IA to u years take the preposterous
notions into their heads that they are Of
mature wears. aud ought to becnme para
mours. Injul,cious, without any ingenuity
/
other hand they are pert, j"cund and pre-
varicstive. Their philoIosy goes as far as
Motlr9r Godhe, Mother Hubbard, or eome
other nursery stock. In their amalagaiaat
ell PersiAage, they seem 10 he prnogeniturt
to their primogenitors. Aud the pcavunes
for the psraphenalis had to be furnished
/ nv "iaddy." We beliAva that LahiVh Gal
parents should keep sharper watch on
their Buys and girls, in the evening gather
lngs. We like To be sociable, but, scientif'
raly. Aud we would advise our young
daughters, when such snmoth faced babe,
Ep' IA IN 10 present themselves, to tell then
10 return little longer Ia their porringer
Do not fool away the sPringtime Of you
life. ST. JOHN.
