N. Y. Tribune The queerest method ever employed by a woman to catch hus- band was that successfully carried out by spinster of Perry. Mo. Three weeks ago the store of Smith & Kelly was rob- bed of goods valued at $500. No trace could be found of the robber, but suspicion fell on Henry King, one of the most popu. lar and upright young men of the place. Neither the public nor the victims would believe the rumor connecting King with the robbery, and there was no arrest. Two weeks ago King gave the town another great surprise by marrying well-known woman, who is old enough to be his moth- er. He wound up his honeymoon Tues day by taking poison, and left note ex- plaining the cause which prompted him to take his life. He said it was true that he was guilty of the burglary, and that his guilt was discovered immediately by the woman who became his wife. The day af- ter the burglary she summoned him to the house, and after showing him conclusive proofs of his guilt, informed him that he could take his choice between marrying her and going to the penitentiary. King said that he pleaded that he was too young and she was too old, but she would stand no excuses. She admitted that abe was a trifls old, but held she would make him a better wife than some giddy young thing. King yielded, and was married. The honeymoon lasted just week. The young husband was saved from suicides grave, and on recovering said he preferred the penitentiary to his wife. s'No more bride for me-" he said to his friends. The case has caused widespread sensation.

A burglar was caught in Barton & Holmes's store at West Warren, Mass, early Saturday morning. He gave the name of Joseph Harding of this city, where he claims to have family. Mrs. Eva Harmon, who lives directly opposite the store, heard crash of glass and saw the man enter through the hole he had made in the door. Constable Dufresne and MT. Holmes were summoned and Harding taken. He had broken the money drawer open, but had taken nothing from it. Some canned goods and pair of shoes were found near the door. Justice Tyler bound him over to the October term of court al Worcester.

GA marriage occurred at Eatontown the other day, says the Newark Advertiser,
 Sat which the bride was aged fourteen years, or rather will be on the 2Oth of this month, and the groom was ffty-fve. A feature for speculation is the complication of family relation resulting from the mar: riage; The groom was the brides step grandfather. Her step-mother is now her step daughter, because she married. he1 own father, great grandmother to her hus- bands children, and step grand daughter to her own husband" <

THz warning of the Crystal Lake corres- pondent should be needed. It Is bad policy to make the groves of that lake q rendezvous for Sunday carousals, looking at the matter from the polite standpoint alone, to the ex- tent of open deseorations of the day, thereby bringing the place into bad odor, for every other form of disreputable action is pretty sure to be close behind open Sabbath desecra- ton. There are often families in camp about the lake on summer Sundays who can be per- manently driven away by the practice of open Sunday balls and picnics in its public groves There is more money for the property owners in the vicinity to make the lake resort for decent people than for the other kind, and mild admonition ought to be sufficient to re- strain all without resort to legal aid.
