OF the new tariff. The Tariff takes about
s1T5 or 81 of the material Of suit-and does
BOT reduce the price OF labor. which Is nearly

and the quality" of the materials-durability,

POgT BYRON, Oct. 3.-The follow
ing incident did not take place in
Port Byron, but one of our citizens
viii vouch for the fact. as he is &C
quainted with some of the parties.
The relating Of it may offer some
suggestions which may be useful if
any of your readers should be placed
in similar circumstances. A young
man was returning home late at
night and saw a light in a store.
Upon getting nearer he saw that the
light came from bulls eye lantern
in the hands of a burglar. Being
afraid to alarm the proprietors OF the
store, who lived quite near. be went
further away and got help. return
ing with seven men besides himself.
The man in the store seemed quite
busuv occupied tying up under
clothes, stockings, dress goods and
other useful articles into bundles.
The crowd on the outside had two
double-barreled shot guns in their
possession, but could not decide who
should do the shooting, some Of them
contendiug that they must not shoot
at all unless the burglar resisted ar
rest. and others insisted that they
must shoot at once for fear the bur-
glar would get the drop on them
Finally in passing one Of the guns
from one person to another it was
discharged in the air. and the bur-
elar at once made for back window,
which was not guarded. and from
which he had previously removed
two large lights of glass and parl OF
the sash. BY the time his would-be
captors arrived at that part of the
building he was gone, taking with
him a revolver, gold watch. what
small change was in the cash drawer
and several other articles. And
alas! it was then too late TO shoot
him. The valiant posse who were
after him do not enjoy being asked
how>they caught the burglar.
