On Wednesday morning our quiet

past two or three month";, had been
fathomed and band of young burg.

youths. captured. For sometime past

ers in this place have been greatly
annoyed by frequent depredations OF
this character, but not until the B. &

Mr.. Jos. Hutchinson, of Baltimore,
one Of their best detectives here, who
in a very short time was on the right
trail, and sufficient evidence accumu-

Sergeant Young and Constable Math-

Weller, Slagle Souders, Edward AL

age, and of reputable families.
When Weller was arrested he pro-
duced wooden box from the cellar
of his fathers residence, containing a
portion of all the goods stolen, which
had been placed in his hands for safe
keeping. Before Magistrate Howell,
Wednesday morning, Fry and Fiden-

of Beall & Phillips, the B. & o. ware

Lippitt. Their evidence more or less
implicated the other three, all five

action of the Grand Jury. There is
not a palpable reason assigned for the
action of these youths, and since they
all had pleasant homes and were we'll

disgrace of their sons, have the SYM

that he could not land the

and wrestled with the fish until he
succeeded in landing it upon the bank.
The fish was taken to Kemp's mill

in circumference and weighed l24 TBS.
The fish became q great curiosity in

as was ever caught in this county. Mr..
Haines subsequently presented the
fish to Conductor Samuel Horn, of the

The Moorefield Examiner says: We
were told of remarkable circum-
stance connected with the life and
death of the late Daniel Thompson, of
Hampshire County, who died last
week.
One morning twenty-one years ago,
Mr.. Thompson was lying in bed, be-
tween daylight and sunup, wide
awake, as he himself claimed, Christ
appeared to him and promised him
fourteen years longer to live. A short
time before the fourteen years expir-
ed, Christ appeared to him again and
told him that if he desired he
would give him seven years long
err. Mr.. Thompson told his visi-
tor to do aS he desired, but added that
he wished not to become burden to
his family. Mr.. Thompson often talk.
ed with his friends about the matter
aud claimed that he would die on
March lltb, 1890. He never claimed
that he would die on that exact day,
but always said it would be near about
that time, either few days before or
after. In his last Illness he reminded
his friends of the vision and told them
that he was going to die, He died on
February 9th, just twelve days be-
fore the appointed time. Another
singular fact connected with the mat
ter is that Mr.. Thompson always
claimed that Christ wore upon his
breast, on his second appearance, a
very beautiful rose. The appearance
of the rose was so vividly impressed
upon MIR. Thompson's mind that he
drew it upon paper and presented each
of his children with a copy.-Ne,cs.
