What Might He Done with Burglar
When Not BurglinE.
The question, What shall we do with
our burglars in the intervals of their

a man who appeared recently at the

story, says the London News, was one
Of vulgar crime in most of its details.
Tie had been caught breaking into u
house and he was now sentenced to IL
months hard labor. It was particular
ly we'll deserved, as he was an old Of

show that since his last release from
gaol he had been getting living by re-
porting inquests for newspapers. No
one can cast the first stone at an honor
able profession on that account, for
was not Mr.. Peace a gentleman with a
gig of his own and distinguished mu-
steal amateur? The more interesting
question is whether the prisoner was

demoralizing in their tendency, as they

on the other hand, ought to be purify

ness of the police courts, with it's abund-
ance of awful examples, should make
a man four square in moral resistance
to every i'll wind that blows.

Natural Dentistry.

A curious fossil that bears q fantastic
resemblance to the work of some pre-
historic dentist is mentioned in recent
book, 1.-THE Gold Diggings OF Cape
Horn" An acquaintance Of the au-
thor's, during journey from the Strait
Of Magellan up the coast, stopped under
vertical earth bank to pick out fossil
that he saw protruding. The rel4s
proved to be part of mastodon's lower

was in bad condition he was about to
throw it away, when he saw in split In

Death of Hon. John w. G.ilo,.

Hon. John w. Gillet, who but
few days ago resigned the office of
county Judge of Accomac county be-
cause of i'll health, died yesterday
morning at his home in this village
at about o'clock. after being pros
trated on his bed for a period OF
nearly five weeks. For quite while
it was apparent that he was becom-
ing debilitated from frequent and
severe attacks OF rheumatism and
other complications; but being a
man OF great energy and earnestness
he held to his post when most men
would have let go. Surely one OF
the landmarks is gone in Judge
Gillet's demise; and no man
in this century has made
more lasting impress on his coun-
ty's affairs than he. He was 70 years
old next October. Commencing Of
fetal life when boy as deputy for
Thomas r. Joynes clerk of the court
he was Mr.. Joynes' successor in office;
which position he held till 1861, when
he was removed by the Federal au-
thorities. Again elected clerk by the
people in 1865, he served till March,
1860, when he was again removed by
General Canby's order because he
would not take the iron clad oath.
Then he practiced law till about
seven years ago when he was elected
by the Legislature county judge and
went upon the bench. No man in
judicial robes has ever been more effi-
Gent; no man has ever administered
the Office of Judge with more firmness,
more earnestness, more impartlality,
and with q keener appreciation OF
his relation to State, county and peo-
ple. He will be missed indeed, for
he was 80 we'll informed as to his peo-
pie that he was sought by all to
whom he cheerfully gave the infor-
nation they sought. His remains
will be placed to rest tomorrow in
the family graveyard in this village.
