| In answer to the little item in last week S
| paper about notwithstanding, we are hand
ed the following. The writer thinks the au-
| thor of thatitem should first pluck the beams
! out of his own eyes before seeing notes in his
neighbours eyes: We know the Bible tell us,
! Six days thou shalt labor, and on the sew
| enth thou shalt rest. That means not to
draw lumber; but does it mean to go berry
| ing, fishing or visiting, or not?'
bold attempt at burglary was made on
| the jewelry store of Mr. Mayo last Sunday
| morning. Mr.. Mayo and the children had
| just gone to church, when Mrs. Mayo, who
was doing some morning work in the back
part of the building, heard a noise in the front
part, occupied as store and shop. Thinking
something had fallen, she thOuGhtlessly went
| to see what it was On opening the door she
was confronted by a medium-sized man lean
ing against the safe. Being discovered he
clapped his hand to his breast pocket as
though after some weapon. Mrs Mayo was
| greatly frightened, but had strength sufficient
! to rush to the door and scream. The man
| took fright and Immediately fed down into
the basement, from which he escaped to the
rivers bank, where bushes concealed him
| from view. Unfortunately no men were
around to give pursuit. The same person,
as is supposed, was afterward seen near the
| south part of the town.
