Robbed a Priest.-Last Thursda,

Robbed a Priest.-Last thursday
morning Henry Burgan, bailiff Of
SharpsbuI z, received letter from chief
of police Lands, of Harrisburg, inquir-
ing for Joseph Mongan, once resident
of the former place. The letter charged
Morgan with robblng Catholic priest,
who had recently come to this country,
of valise containing 5000 in silver,
some valuable papers and i number of
other articles. Morgan had been asked
to direct him to hotel, which he did,
but was unaL lie to obtain accommodation
for him, rs the house was full. The
priest, by Mongan's direction, left his
valise at Il SALOON and started with him
in quest of another lodging. Morgan
conducted him to an unfrequented por-
ton of the city, left him, returned to the
saloon and got the valise. Armed with
a writ issued by Justice Grove, consta-
BILE Bender and Burgan went very early
on Friday morning to the house of
Mongan's brother-in-law, Raleigh Price
at Mapleville, about two and half miles
northeast Of Boonsboro, where they
found Morgan in bed and arrested him.
Bender took his prisoner to the Hagers-
towu Jail and committed him, a telegram
having been sent to Harrisburg in the
meantime. In the evening Lands came
on and took Morgan back with him, the
prisoner consenting to 60 without
requisition.
The Harrisburg Telegraph gives the
| following additional particulars of the
robbery "While engaged in converse
ton with the priest, whose name was
Patrick McGovern, Morgan managed to
fitch the gold watch from his pocket.
Morgan boarded with family on Penn
sylvania avenue, and some days later
the boarding mistress noticed him make
several trips to the cellar. Her curios-
ity was excited, and when she thought
Morgan was out of the house made an
investigation. She discovered fresh
earth in corner of the cellar, and dig
ging deeper brought the satchel to view.
She had not more than got hold Of it
when Morgan appeared and snatched it
from her. He then left the house. The
woman placed the matter in The hands
of the police, who have been actively at
work on the case ever since. 1t has
been learned by the police that Morgan
threw the satchel and papers into the
Susquehanna river after he left his
boarding house. The gold watch was
recovered in a singular manner. Nom
gan had placed it in chimney crevice
at the Pennsylvania Avenue House and
one day it was heard to drop to the
bottom. A couple of bricks were re-
moved and the time-piece recovered.
Morgan is known by good many peo-
pie in Harrisburg and his wife lives
with her family at Steelton."

Already these destructive pests, cater
pillars, are becoming very numerous
and very annoying, many of the fruit
and shade trees fairly swarming with
them. Every one who has fruit trees
will have their hands full in keeping
these pests down. The quickest way
to get rid of them is to destroy their
nests by burning with a torch as soon
as formed.

Probable Church Change

the last session Of the Baltimore Confer
ence Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, Boonsboro' Methodist Episco-
pal Church was united with Sharps-
burg and Shepherdstown, an arrange
ment which proves unsatisfactory,
both to the Methodists of Boonsboro'
and to the pastor of Shepherdstown
charge. Boonsboro asks to be placed
in connection with Middletown, to be
served by Rev. w. NJ. Osborne, of Mid
dletown, from early June until the
next Conference. Bishop Ninde, who
has jurisdiction of this conference work,
has been addressed and solicited by all
parties, we understand, to make the de-
sired change, and it will very likely be
made at an early day if the pastor, Rev.
Osborne, consents.

Harvest il here. Some few farmers
expect to begin to cut around the edges
tomorrow, and on Mondey it is expected
that nearly all of them will be into 1t.
The crop is very good one, and the
only drawback at all is a slight guam
tity hurt by the fly. This is only in
few localities. Many farmers confidently
expect yield Of from 25 to 30 bushels
per acre. The price of wheat remains
low.
Now that it is impossible, by reason
of the change Of the mails, to answer
letter the same day it is received, we
hope Postmaster RentcE will succeed in
having u locked pouch sent of on the
$50 p. m. train to Baltimore. 1t would
also be great convenience to receive a
pouch OH the evening train from the
North. Other towns along the line en-
Joy these facilities, and we hope Shep-
