AFTER THE GAMBLERS.
Crap Shooters, Poker-Players, Etc, win
Have To Take TO The Woods.

General complaint is made of va
rious little games and gambling de.
vices introduced into saloons to en-
tice the boys and lead them to ruin.
These complaints are made to Attor-
ney,General Pitt, who says he will
be compelled, at the next term OF
the court, to bring down the law in
full force, and will insist on the
courts calling the attention of the
grand jury to such matters. The ga
loon-keeper who allows gambling in
his house of any kind will, under
the oath taken as prescribed in the
license, lay himself liable under the
additional penalty of perjury. 1t
has been a custom with many in the
State to pay the privilege tax with
out taking out the license, thus
evading the oath. Hereafter those
who undertake to carry on business
in this way will be indicted on every
offense subjected to distress warrants
and all of the penalties attached to
tipping without license.
The oath which saloon keepers are
under law required to subscribe to is
as follows, which, it will be seen, is
very stringent and binding, and will
hereafter be given in charge to grand
juries:
do solemnly swear or affirm that
| will not, under the license which !
am about to obtain, knowingly per-
NIT, or connive at, any gambling tor
money, or any other valuable CON
sideration, in the house in which l
may retail spirits, or in any other
place of which | may have contro',
ether dir. c'ly lor indirectly and if any
person should game or bet, to my
knowledge, (and | will exercise due
diligence to knOW,) | will give infer
nation thereof to the grand jury OF
my county, at the next term of court.
So help me God.

A little son George Nicely, of Ligonier,
cousin Of the Nicelys, called at the jail
this morning and was was warmly re-
eeived BY both Of them.
Ca. Lowry, the Ligonier undertaken,
called on the boys this morning. They
asked him very nerTously about the pre-
parations for their funeral and burial,
and we're well satisfied with what be
told them.
Both Of the Nicelys were confident
up to the last minute that their father
and mother would call on them before
their death, and Joe was very much dis
appointed a. he vas not rational on the
occasion Of his fathers leave taking with
him earlier in the week.
At12ij o'clock Rev. Beall, pastor Of the
Evangelical Association church Of this place
and the Rev. Zinl OF the Lutheran church
Of View Cenireville, went to Joe's cell and
after usual solemn preliminaries administer
ed the communion using the conventional
bread and wine as symbols. Joe joined
heartily in the services and responses. Once
or twice his tears overeame him and he
broke down as the minister read the solemn
and beautiful words incident to the celebra-
ton of the sacred rite. A hymn or two was
sung and the services for the dead followed
close upon those that acclaimed Joe's reeep-
ton into the church. Al the conclusion of
the services Joe began the hymn in dis
unct but weak voice that at times was husky
"If ever l loved 10y Jesus 'tis now singing

mains, not even the faces Of the dead
men. When I arrive home I shall at

prepare them for burial. They are TO be
placed in two Of my coffins and buried
in them. These are the old mans orders
He said 20 ne this morning, the cofiins
that YOU may bring them home in may
be as good and may be even better than
those I shall be able to bury them in,
but they must be buried in my collins
and you must burn those that they were
