PenItentiary for Life for Stealing Bacon of
the Value of 37H Cents.

On Wednesday last, Joshua Slower was con-
victed in the Hastings Court of this city OF
stealing three pounds of bacon of the value of
BIZ cents, and the jury fixed his punishment
at one year in the penitentiary; but as he had
before served two terms in the penitentiary
for larceny, he will, according to the law, he
sentenced for life. He seems to have mania
for stealing, and, if he were a millionaire, be
would be recognizedius victim of Kleptoma-
MIA, and would probably be sent to an insane
asylum. He was ably and earnestly defended
by R. l.. Gray, young attorney, but the evil
dence was two conclusive to save him. He
was prosecuted by the City Attorney J. L..
Bumgardner. 1t seems to us that this pre-
sents proper case for Communication of punish
ment by the Governor.

ST, Patrlck'S Oav,

Will some one inform US whether March
18th, which is celebrated by Catholics as 'St.
Patrick's Day." is the anniversary of the
birth or of the death of that distinguished
Saint? We observe that the papers generally
represent the celebration as that of the an.
niversary of his birth, whereas we saw it stated
some years since that it was the anniversary
of his death. Can any one inform US of the
dates of his birth and death, or, if not of both,
of one or the other? Also the place of his
birth and that of his death, and whether he
was Catholic, as is generally believed, or a
Presbyterian. as some claim that he was.

Horrible Outrage In Pocahontas

from her horse when riding alone near her
home, dragged into the bushes, and outraged
by two men, and left there in feeble condi-
ton where she was found soon after by some
neighbors; that the community IS greatly ex-
cited at this terrible outrage, and that if the
perpetrators can be found, they will be sum-
marily dealt with as such criminals deserve;
and that it occurred not far from where Ham
Collins was recently killed by Charlee Slaven
AS the account of this correspondent is i'm
probable in some of its features, and as the
Highland Recorder, published in Monterey
dated day later than the date of the letter
from that place, and the Pocahontas Times
published week after the reported occur
renee, make no mention of it, and as we have
seen no other statement of it. we hope and
are inclined to believe that it did not occur.
