COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Jnhnary Term. 1891.
The jury empannelled for the trial
of George Richardson for the larceny
Of the money of Mr.. Francis L. Stock
ley, returned the verdict of one year
in penitentiary, with recommends
ton to Governor for executive Glenn
ency, in consideration of the age of
the boy, his previous good character
and the unusual temptation in his
way to commit the theft. In pur-
suance of the verdict, a petition set
ting forth the facts, signed by every
member of the jury, Judge of county
court, clerk, sheriff and Common
wealth attorney, will be taken to the
Governor by Mr.. U. B. Quinby, one
of the attorneys of the prisoner, and
application will be made for a COM
mutation of the sentence to county
jail, which will doubtless be granted
and should be. 1t was in evidence
that the boy was Is years of age,
heretofore was of exceptionally good
character, had entered the store and
taken money from safe both left open,
was penitent as soon MS he fully real
lied the crime and acknowledged the
same.
In the case of the Commonwealth

murder of George Twyford, n verdict

THEY ARE BROTHERS.
MORAL:
To be found in Sing Sing.

"When you read Ward McAllis.
ter's book you have picture of
what our civilization has done for
the rich," says a writer who COM
pares the two extremes of New
society. eff you will walk through
the Mulberry street district you
can see what it has done for the
poor. Between the two extremes
you will find people of brains, Of
heart, of virtue. But among the
four hundred, and in Mulberry
street, you will find two classes of
people who are counterparts of
each other. With all their differ
ences they are marvelously alike.
One is rich, the other is poor. One
class is respected, the other is
despised. One class is polished,
the other is boorish. One class is
clean, the other is filthy. But both
are brainless, both are heartless,
both are sensual. One class eats
pate de foie gras, the other garlic,
and both live to eat. One class
drinks champagne, the other bad
whisky, and both live to drink.
One class dances at Delmonico's 8,
the other in dives, but both live to
dance. One class is brutalized by
poverty, the other is sensualized by
luxury. The elegant Mr.. McAllis-
ter, filled to the chin with six kinds
of wine, trying to get into his car
riage, and the filthy loafer soaked
with stale beer, sleeping on lum.
Der pile, are brothers. Both are
idlers, both are useless, both are
supported by the labor of others.
Both are useless, both are barnacles,
One has been lifted to the top by
our social system, the other has
been kicked to the bottom.

man, striking at him with his fore
feet, one of the hoofs hitting him in
the head. Heyman lodged to get
out of the way, when the mule
dropped on all tours and snapped
at him with his foaming jaws.
Heyman attempted to dodge into q
corner, but in doing so came face
to face with the mad beast. He
yelled to the others to kill the mule.
One of the men drew his revolver,
but before he could fire the mule
had made another snap at Heyman
and bitten off his nose and part of
his right cheek. Then the shot
rang out and the mule fell dead.
Heyman's nose was sewed on,
but he has only slight chance of
his life. He is crazy from fright,
and the doctor says he is likely to
die of blood poisoning. If he lives
he will be noseless. The mule
nearly killed man who tried to
shoe him about a year ago.

THE FOOLISH SHEEP.

mo animal that walks on four
feet is as big a fool as a sheep"
says a sheep raiser. 1--WE have
to watch them every minute and if
vigilance is relaxed for an instant
the entire flock is likely to practi-
cally commit suicide. In hand
ling most animals some degree of
self-help or intelligence can be re.
lied on to aid the owner in saving
their lives, but sheep seem to set
deliberately to work to kill them
selves. If caught in a storm on
the plains they will drift before
the wind and die of cold and ex-
posture rather than move 100 yards
to windward to obtain shelter in
their corral. To drive sheep
against the wind is absolutely im.
possible. ! once lost over 1000
head because I could rot drive
them to a corral not 200 feet
away. In the corral they are still
more foolish. If a storm comes
up they all move down wind until
stopped by the fence. Then be-
gins the proceeding SO much dread
ed by sheep men, known as pill
ing The sheep will climb over
each others back until they are
heaped up ten feet high. Of course
all these at the bottom are smoth-
cred. Not one has sense enough
to seek shelter under the lee of
the fence, as a horse or a dog
would do. Again, if sheep gets
into quicksand its fate teaches
nothing to those that come imme-
diately after, but the whole flock
will follow its leader to destruc-
ton. No more exasperatingly
stupid brute than sheep walks"

Said the former:
"I'm going to get out of the bus.
mess and get into something else.
There isn't a living in it. Why,
ten years ago l thought nothing of
going out among the farmers and
buying enough stock in one day to
clear SIS or 800. I just about
set my own estimates of weight so
won at both ends"
"Yes," said the other, "the bus
mess has gone to the dogs. That's
why I left it. Now every farmer
has scales in his barn yard and
takes a newspaper, SO he knows
Just as we'll what his stock is worth
as you do. I used to 60 along the
road in the morning, make a farme,
a low offer for a bunch of cattle OF
sheep and, after he had haggled
awhile and refused it, I would &C
on. About noon my partner would
come along and offer him about IL
per cent less than I had. So, BY
the time I came back at night III
was mighty glad to sell to me
But you can't play that game now
The newspapers have broken i
'up."
