The Journals attention has been called to the fact that only one of the alleged jointists who recently escaped from the officers, had been arrested. The man Mcclure, or .ossssihsa ssssihsateyer his name might be, who l4t bn, 1ed for Arnold, was not arres, seeSYpnsequently our censure of

Jackson, howev- CT was arrested by both the mar shal and the constable, and there were three seperate charges against him--one warrant sworn out be- fore the mayor for blind tigerlng and two before the justice of the peace for running gambling house. But both the marshal and constable forgot to put him un- der bond; or at least that is the excuse the marshal offers. The constable says that he arrested Jackson late at night, just as he was fixing to start to Newport anc Jackson told him he was already under bond for the other charge and was then going to Newport to employ counsel to fight the cases and would return the next morning.

ARE PARTNERS, INDEED.
Finding of Religions of the Orient" Leads to Slight Rufding of
 Wifely Harmony.

The harmony in which Mr. and Mrs. Jabez Green had lived for nearly 40 years was slightly ruf- fled when, at the close of lecture in the first course ever given in Wraynhan, Mr. Green stated that he should like to know more about eastern religions.
 "Jabez," said his wife, firmly, ''you know what you believe, and what other folks believe different needn't be anything to you eX- cepting as you're sorry for 'em be- ing blinded"
 Mr. Green looked unconyinced, and a slight coolness arose, but in time il passed away. Mrs. Green redoubled her attentions in the way of griddle-caIes and hot soap stones, and her husband kept the wood box filled to the brim. He had a reason for so doing, inasmuch as certain half-hours in the barn were passed in absorbed reading of an old brown-cOyered book which JabeZ had bought second hand in Nashua. and of which he had never spoken.
 'More l read it, the more thank full l feel I'm not one O those heathen follls,' Mr. Green nut tered one day, as he hung up his old coat in the shed. with the brown book safely hidden in it's deepest pocket. When l get all through maybe I'll tell her how strengthened 1 am in the faith maybe 1 will"
 He went off for his afternoon nap, but later on, at dusk, feeling in the pocket for the brown book as he started for the barn to do the milking, he found that it was gone. As he passed his hand helplessly up and down, Mrs. Green opened the door that led out from the kitchen to the shed.
 Lost anythingw she asked, briskly.
 "N-no, not exactly" said Mr. Green, feeling like criminal. 'I was just looking"
 If you were looking for that book on Religions of the Orient you can't have it till after supper" said Mrs. Green with decision. "I see by where your slip was when 1 took the book out of your pocket this afternoon that you'd got ahead of me one full chapter. You shortened up your nap to-day or should have caught up. You can't have it till tomorrow"
 "Why, how do you know" began Mr. Green, feebly; but his wife gave him a gentle shove.
 Do you know we've been mar ried over 40 years" she said, gayly. You'd better button that collar up close, for it's cold in the barn, even when you aren't stopping to sit down and read. 1 knocked against that great bulge in your coat the first day it was there, as I went after some old tin to stop a l, 4
