AM OLD THIEF.-Some weeks ago fell
low about As years of age stole half of a
dressed hog, and sold it to the keeper of
beer hall. The thief was arrested and
sent to jail. He had previously been
sent up twice for stealing clothing. A
day or 80 ago he was released, and al
once went to work at his old trade, that
of stealing. After spying around for
some time. he noticed several barrels of
bottled beer in back room of the Ar
lington Hotel. This beer is worth about
Sl7 barrel. He hunted up a customer,
TO whom he agreed to sell eleven barrels
Of beer at S. per barrel. The fellow
then went to the hotel and attempted to
get away with his stolen property, and
succeeded so far as to get it rolled GU,
of the building, when policeman
swooped down upon him and locked
him up. He was examined and sent to
jail, where he will remain until the
meeting of the next Grand Jury. Yes
terday he gave his name as Morris. AT
the time of his previous arrest he gave
it as Williams. He evidently thinks
there's nothing in name. His next
theft will probably be a hot stove, as he
generally takes something that he can't
get away with.

COUNTY FAIR.-It ia almost time the
Trustees of the King County Industrial
Association we're preparing for the ex-
hibition of 1854. None Was made last
year for two reasons, one being that no
really suitable place ooald DO obtained,
and the other that the people were fully
occupied with the railroad jubilee at the
time the fair should have been held.
The association has about $500 in its
treasury, aud, the season being favora
ble,.it should be prepared early this fall
to hold fine exhibition. The Trustees
should give this matter careful thought,
and take decisive action immediately
after the fourth Of July. The Frye Op
era House will be ready by the ist Of
September, aud IL would be happy
thing for the association to open it.

ANGELS BEcKoyED HER AWAY.
The sun had set beneath the hills.
The breezes waved the forest trees.
The crimson rays gieamsd on the clouds.
And zephyrs murm1red monS the
leaves,
When angels left the ethereal land
And passed beyond the shining way;
They paused awhile 10 view the form
Before they beckoBed her away.
Her features wore a happy smile.
Ard. as we gaZed she looked more fair ;
50 weird she seemed as still she lay.
We think she saw ,he angels there.
She longed 10 pass away from earth.
To reach that 10 nd of lasting day;
A lingering smile she cast to M,
And angels beckoned her away.
Down In the " ildwood there's a mound.
Where wave the ancient forest trees,
For there they laid her form away.
And now the grave is strewed with
leaves;
But she has gone beyond this world.
Beyond the golden sunset ray.
To well in that bright, mystic land,
For angels beckoned her away.
