The old saying that an idle brain is
the devils work chop and idle hands bis
TOOLS" Oh. how true this saying is. It
is to this shop that the tattler goes for ma
terial wherewith to blight some happy
home or attempt to win the character and
reputation of their fellowman, by falsify-
ing his good name, and forever destroy
ing his bright prospects for the future.
You cannot realize how low down and
contemplate village tattler is; until you
have seen some OF the results OF their tat.
tier tales.
While Harry johnson, a shoemaker,
employed by John Marquette, was being
shaved last Saturday night, a sneak thief
entered the shop by back window, and
stole two purses aud a bag containing
silver, amounting TO $l3O. Instead of
putting the money in bank for safe keep
ing, johnson hid it away in the shop, with
the result above stated. 1t is supposed
that some one knowing the hiding place
carried it away. We are informed |
that there is suspicion as to the guilty |
parties, and hopes are entertained that
at least some Of the booty may be
recovered.
