..Ru: happy they! the happiest of their kind!
Whom gentler stars unite, and In one fate
Their hearts, their fortunes, and their beings
blend
It's not the coarser tie Of human laws.
Unna ural oft. and foreign 10 the mind,
That blinds their peace. but harmony itself,
Affirming all their passions into love.
The seasons thus,

Still find them h,pps; and consentlng aprfng

TIL evening comes at last serene aud mild"

Onei "a Gives Visitor a Warm
Retention.

A man giving his name as George
Lowell, broke and entered the drug
store of S. I. Knox, at Oneida, early
last Saturday morning. He secured
/. small amount of money belonging
to Mr.. Knox; also small sum Of
government money, the post office
being located in part of the store.
lIc gained access by prying open the
front door with crow bar which he
had stolen from the Great Western
section house. The noise of his
operations aroused w. A. Cornell
who occupies quarters in the adjoin-
ing building. He hurriedly sum
moned Mr.. Knox and together they
started to capture the breaker. One
stationed himself at the back door
and the other at the front. The un-
welcome visitor came out of the
front door near which Mr.. Knox had
stationed himself and at the first
word opened fire with 80 caliber
revolver. Mr.. Knox, who was armed
with SO caliber revolver replied
in kind and several shots were ex-
changed. Mr.. Knox fired all the
shots in his revolver, and seeing
that the stranger was making his
escape in the darkness. gave hot
pursuit. He chased him into shed
at the point of his empty revolver
forced him to surrender and hand
over his revolver which still con-
tanned two loaded cartridges. Mr..
Knox certainly displayed a rare
quality of nerve but as he said, ut
aroused my Irish when the fellow
shot ut me-" Mr.. Knox brought his
prisoner to Manchester on the first
train and turned him over to the
authorities. The preliminary hear.
ing was held Saturday morning be
fore Justice j. NJ. Pearse, who bounc
him over TO the next grand Jury.
