WASHINGTON, Manon 16TH, 1872.
THE ELECTIONS.
The glorious‘neWs coming hither from the
granite hills 'of New Hampshire, came the
nearest to producing a political millennium
of any partisan struggle which has ever
occurred in these United States. .The Rt:-
publicans were of course jubilant, and now
the Democrats and “passives,” all along the
line, are joining in either sincere orfefgned
halleluias of rejoicing over the same result.
The true and earnest men of our party, who
love its‘principles and the sublime record it
made in history, more than they do oflce or
leadership; see in our grand triumph in New
Hampshire ‘an earnest guarantee of its in-
dissoluble integrity, continued ascendancy
and preeminence. All'the rest of thef‘black
spirits and grey" afi‘ect to believe. that it will
result 'in such 'ovcrweening confidence on
the part ofthe Grant Republicans, that they
willuurely renominate him, and do all sorts
of ridiculous and fatal things, and thus will
the’ party leaders, if not 'the party itself, as
at present championed, be annihilated. We
believe many prominent men of the opposi-
tion in Congress, are honest in this convic-
tion, forgetting the possibility and even
probability that thousands now allied to the
Democratic party, would, in event of its dis~
ruption, vote for Grant in preference to any
“mongrel” which ~ is to be neither Republi-
can or Democratic, nominated at Cincinnati.
Be all this as it may, it is a most novel and
unprecedented spectacle to see both parties
trying to out shout each other in their re
. joicin'gs. Not the least gratifying and im-
portant result to that‘Sts‘te, and the nation
secured by this victory, is the certain re-
election to the United States Senate of Mr.
Patterson. Able, cultured, pure, resolute in
the right, and independent in conviction and
actiou,we esteem him a model statesman,as
well as a courteous, christian gentleman.
He is among those few public men who can
not be withdrawn from ofiicial service with-
out serious loss to the country. It will be a
cause of congratulation here at the White
House, (as‘we chance to know) and through-
out Congressional circles, if Connecticut is
equally fortunate and wise.
‘ CONNECTICUT.
, Senator Henry Wilson and Hon. Henry
O'Conner, (late Attorney General 'of- Iowa,
and one of the most eloquent-men in the
west,) lcft'last night to canvass 'our State.
Senator Ferry will leave on Thursday, and
will ‘speak' with Senator Wilson at his meet-
ing in Norwalk on Friday evening, the 22d.
On Monday, the 25th, Mr. Fury is expected
to' speak at New Haven, and during the
week at Other points in the eastern portion
-' of the Shite, returning on Saturday to be
present at the meeting of Senator Nye, who
has faithfully promised to “close the column”
at Lockwood’s Hall, the evening of the 30th.
There is the greatest possible interest felt
here in our success. We even have the good
wishes and 'bcuedictions of the Democrats.
It'is something of a puzzle, yet we know
that several. of their Congressional ora'to'rs
have declined to speak in Connecticut be-
cause they wished it to go Republican. We
are certain the Republicans can stand this
sort of thing if the Democracy can, yet .we
hope its only effect upon our friends will be
tOIStimulatc item t9 greater exertions. One
thing may be relied upon with certainty,
the 'same New Hampshire detail and effort
put forth in Connecticut to get to the polls
every voter, - will result in an equally
glorious. victory. All the information we
get here from the different parts of our State
is Of the most cheering character. Indeed
this is our only individual cause of anxiety
as to the result.
"_ INTHESENATE.
Legislation has progressed with com-
mendable cclerity in the Senate. Mr. Sher-
man no doubt contributed to this result.
In the early part. of the week he administer-
ed the following “o’er true” rebuke :—He
said he had prepared a record which he
would ask the Senate to hear. The Senate
had spent three weeks in debating a resolu-
tion for an investigation of the New York
custom house. It had spent three weeks in
defeating amnesty. It had spent three weeks
in discussing the sale of arms. . It had pass-
ed'no bill of any importance, no bill relating
to taxes or tariff, no appropriation bill. All
it had done was to pass a resolution for final
adjournment. . ,
There was one-“personal" explanation be-
tween Mr. Trumbull and Chandler. not.
creditable to so grave a body as the Ameri-
can Senate, and which, let us hope, there
will be no occasion ever to repeat.
_ , THE HOUSE. , ,
The,St. Croix and Superior Land bill, and
the Union Pacific’s application for half of
Goat Island in San Francisco Bay, occupied
most of the week. Representative Strong
‘ mude an eloquent. speech in defence of his
assailed State. He also reported bills secur-
ingrelief to the Postmasters of Berlin and
Thompson, and to Gen. Whitaker, ex-post-
master of Hartford, for stamps stolen from
their respective ofilces. Judge Kelly made
'a most able and eloquent speech yesterday
in vindication of protection and the labor
interests of the country. We wish a copy
of this speech might be placed in the hands’
of every voter in Connecticut. Maj. Gen.
Wm. T. Clark, of Texas, has his speech in
his desk awaiting an opportunity to fire it
off. When “he rises to explain,” the Mum
editor and others of his detractors may" ex-
pect to be “set down hard," for “Billy’s”
dander is up. ~ -
' TRUMBULL AND stream.
The presentation of our marble'statues in
the House, Will probably be postponed till
I after our election, as our members all intend
leaving for home next week. A sculptor
has cutout the originally depressed names
and let! each in raised letters, had thus very
much improved the appearance of their
bases. While this was going on, a party
_ gazing at the mute symbols of the departed
' statesmen, under an impression that they
were designed to represent the two living
representatives .of the respective tamilies
bearing the same names now in the Senate,
was heard to observe to a friend : "That
stator ot Sherman’s well enough, but I'd
kick that of old Trumbull out, alter he went
. and stood by Andy Johnson on his impeach-
ment.” The super-“loyalty” of his indigna-
tion savedIhe gazer from any rude correc-
tion of his error. Itis a really interesting
coincidence that there should have been
among the most attentive listeners among
the Senators, a descendant of each, and
bearing the same name—Mr. Trumbull, of
Illinois, and Sherman, of Ohio, both also of
Connecticut origin. Hon. R. L. Baldwin,
once a member of the Senate, was a grand-
sonofold Roger Sherman. So are Hon. E.
R. Hoar, late Attorney General, and Geo. F.
Hoar, now Of the House of Representatives,
and Wm. M. Evin-ts, at present of the Ala-
bama Commission. ~
g runes RECEPTION.

owu'tbrme'r connection with .the press, gave
ltis‘- annual reception and" supper to the
critterlrfaildjourualists here. Editors Colfax

was a brilliant one, as was to have been ex-
pected, the “supper" elegant and sumptuous
and the’host around everywhere among his
guests in all his own native nobility of’soul
just as if he had never descended from the
editorship of a first class Main'e newspaper
to be Speaker'of the American Congress.
THE NEW UNITED STATES BANK—Com-

. It isreported, on the authority of those
who are watching the subject closely, that
the Ways and Means Committee are agreed
to report in faVOr of repealing the duty on
coal and salt,and also have agreedto report
in favor of a reduction at the duty on wool
and increase on the duty on woolens.
Chemicals and medicines were also placed
on the free list. Opium, quinine, aniline,
and some other chemicals are not included.
. The Senate Military Committee have
agreed to report favorably upon Dr. Mary
Walker’s , bill,‘ to give to volunteer lady
nurses during the late war twenty dollars
per month. .
The Congreslsional Union Executive Com-
mittee has perfected its organization by se-
lecting a finance committee and treasurer.
The following is the committee: Senator
Chandler, chairman ;‘ Senator Cameron,
Representatives Ketcham, Halsey and
Starkweather. ‘ W. S. Huntington,- Esq,
cashier First National Bank, was elected
treasurer. _
PERSONALS.
Representative Starkweather who has the
chairmanship of the hardest committee in
Congress, has been detained at his room for
several days from overwork. He is now
better and expects to_be at his post again
during the week. Gov. Buckingham, will
return home in a few days to do what he
can for our success on th ‘ t day of April.
. Hon. N. D. Sperry, Hon. 0. H. Platt,
Editor A. L. Train, and Gen. Whittaker of
Hartford have been here in part on business
and in part on matters connected with the
campaign in our State. ..
‘Hon. C. C. Hubbard, and wife, and Miss.
Fay 0t Middletown, are registered at the
Ebbitt. ' ' .
Chas. L. Rockwell Esq, Cashier of the
1st, National Bank of Meriden, is.expecled
here next week.
The miscarriage of our last week’s letter
to Norwich provoked no amiable feeling
towards the careless postal route agent, yet
it'resulted in an unexpected 'compliment.
An employee in one of the departments
'here, expressed his disappointment at its
omission, ashe had come to keep the run
of Washington, as well as Connecticut news
from his Gazette. Being a Connecticut boy,
it was entirely natural that the grouping of
items of local and state interest, should at-
tract his attention. Another party having
been Gazetted among the personals, writes
back, that he is sure our paper “must have
ten thousand readers,” from the innumera-
ble-questionings which have “come to him
from all quarters of the globe,” concerning
his Washington experiences. If we are
able, in the last hurried moments of the last
day of the week, to group any facts of in-
terest to our readers, we shall patiently
submit to an occasional baulk in their
transmission by mail. ‘ B.
The Norwalk ,Fire Insurance Company
has just issued a'fine map of Connecticut, in
colors,with all town and county boundaries,
roads, railroads, &c., and with the popula-
tion of eachtown in 1860 and 1870 printed
in the margin. It is probably nearer correct
than any other ulap issued, and therefore
very desirable. The'Meriden Recorder says
if it :— ..
We acknowledge the receipt from Messrs.
Otis do Beebe, Real Estate and Insurance
Agents, of one of those elegant maps of the
State of Connecticut issued by the N orwalk
Fire Insurance Company. It is ve nicel
arranged showing each township y has 1'
in a diii‘erent color; it also gives the popu-
latlon of each town as ascertained by the
census in 1860 and 1870, b which we see
that Meridrn had a ponu atlon of 7,426 in
1860, and 10,511 in 1870, an increase of 3,085
in three years. {53139 in addition a list of
the phloem and directors of the company.

We copied an item last week- from an
easternpaper, stating that Mr. Clark Bal-
dwin, of Milford, was frozen to death during
the cold snap of the} previous week. We
are glad to learn from a friend of Mr. B’s
that this was an error; he was badly frozen:
but is still alive, and is thought to be in a
fair way of recovery. He will, however,
lose several toes, and probably several fin-
gel-s."

I About $100,000-of'Connecticut statebonds
called in by the treasurer in January last
have not been- presented for payment.
They are of the denomination of $1,000,
dated Julyi, 1861, and are numbered from
601 to 1,160, inclusive. As the interest has
been stopped since March 1, holders will do
well for themselves to send them in for re-
demption.

The census report brings to light some cu-
rious facts in relation to journalism in the
United States. There are 5,845 newspapers
and periodicals published in the country,
one for about every 6,500 of population.
The average circulation is 8,660; It may be
noticed that the six sporting papers print
73,500 copies, which gives them the largest
average circulation—12,250; but those who
deprecate that state of things will be con-
soled to know that the religious journals
come next On the list, with an average cir»
culation of 11,706, and an aggregate of},-
764,358. The “literary” come next, with an
average circulation of 8,808; then the agri-
cultural press, with an average of 8,072;
and lastly the political papers, which have
the lowest average circulation—92.0284 fact
due to the large number of weekly rural
sheets with a few hundred subscribers. '

‘ We hope that the war upon obscene
publications, lately, inaugurated in New
York, will be vigorously prosecuted, and
that. .11 similar movement will be commenced
in our own town. We believe that nearly
all of our newsdealcrs would welcome legis-
lation which would drive these publications
from their trade. It is time this abomina-
ble nuisance were abated.

The Republicans ofNew Hampshire most
gallantly and nobly retrieved their State last
Tuesday by rolling up a large and unlocked
for majority for their candidate for Gover-
nor, and.clecting both houses of the legisla-
ture, thus securing the next U. S. Senator.
Well done New Hampshire! We trust that
Connecticut will help on the good workiso

It begins to look as if there might be some
hope for New York, after all Her citizens.
have met with wonderful success in their
recent fights against corruption. The break-
ing up ofthe TammanyRing has been follow-
ed by a splendid fight against the Erie Ring,
which ended in a grand success. On Mon-
day last, under the leadership of Gen. Sick-
les, Gens. John A. Dix, Geo. B. 'McClellan,
S. L. M. Barlow, and a majority of direc-
tors, entered thc Company's ' office, in
New York, took possession, elected several
.gentlemen to fill vacancies in the Board,
turned Jay Gould out of thePresideucy, and
tlected Gen. Dix in his place. Gould brought
in forty policemen, but they ’were astonished,
his gang of roughs, but when they saw the
situation they hesitated, and then con-
tented themselves with taking possession of
a portion of the building, remaining all
night. Next day Gould capitulated, and has
since resigned from the'difectory. Now he
is out, it is thought that he can be kept out,
and the affairs of the mammoth corporation
be placed on an honorable basis.
At the repul lican meeting in Hartford
last Wednesday evening General Hawley
said he believed that fitly years hence the
historian, considering the great dictinctive
features of General Grant’s administration,
from 1868 to 1872, and overlooking the
criticisms which are so largely due to
temporary and personal causes, would
write down that administration as one of
the very best in the history of the, country.

Maggie llltchell.
Next Thursday evening this charming
actress is to apper at the Opera House, un-
der the management of Mr. Lowell. She
will play “Fanchon, the Cricket,” in which
she has gained such wide popularity, and a
play in which the people will never tire of
seeing her. She is to be:supported by Mr.
Collier, and a select company. Maggie
seems to be giving’better satisfaction now
than ever beforc,'and wherever she appears
is greeted with crowded houses, _and urged
tocome again. The Hartford limes, 7th
inst, says oi'her recent performance in— that
city: '
Wednesday evening, gathered an audience
that excelled in numbers any which has et
been in the Opera House, this year. Syhe
has increased in intensity of acting, and ex-
erts the same glamour over her audience as
formerly. It is useles to criticise her repre-
sentation according to rules; it is effective
beyond any other, peculiar, with a charm
all its own, and has this superior advantage
that it carries every word and meaning of
the part to the listener 'With great force and
clearness. Often as many have seen it, it
always comes fresh to them. Often as many
have admired it they always admire it anew.

Collection. ‘ . .
The late LeGrand Lcckwood, besides be-
ing possessed of immense wealth, was also a
man of refined taste. He erected a magnifi~
cent mansion in his native village,Norwalk,
Conn., costing $1,100,000, and adorned its
interior with valuable paintings and works
of art, one invoice of paintings from Europe
alone costing $75,000. and the total value of
his collection as it now stands is fully $200.-
000. Bierstadt’s “Domes of the Yosemite,”
painted to order, cost $25,000; “ Sealers
Crushed b Icebergs,” original, by Bradford,
$12,000; “' he Annunciation," by VonSchan-
dal, foreign, $15,000; “Sherman’s March to
the Sea,” $10,000; “Market Scene,” by Von
Schandal, $10,000; “The Wine Testers,"
foreign, $13,000; “The Book Worm,” $15,-
000. There is quitea number of works cost-
ing from $1,000 to $5,000, and all select and'
executed in the highest style of art. A large
number of bronzes and statuary by Rogers
and other sculptors adorn the gallery.
. It is thought likely that as soon as letters
of administration are taken out, the entire
collection will be brought to this city, first
for exhibition, and afterward for sale at
auction.

from Richmond, in The South, an excellent
weekly journal, published in New York by
Southern men, and devoted to the promo-
tion of Southern interests, has the following
reference to “one particularly ,noble exam-
ple.”
“ 1 can point to a number of oung men,
gentlemen by blood. birth and, education,
who have gone regularly into machine
shops since the war, rather than clerk. I
know ot one particularly noble example:
Ayoung friend of mine, a gentleman, the
son of a large capitalist, and a high gradu-
atc of the niversity of Virginia, is now
serving his time in a machine shop in Bal-
timore. This is nota case of .necessity, but
choice. He hasmoney, and his education
and native intellect rtndered auy‘position
he might covet attainable. Such men are'
the capital of the most substantial sort in
any community. When I last saw him, he
was in the black-smith shop, but has rapid-
ly risen since. Our conversation was of
the most extraordinary character, and when
I left him, it was difficult to tell which I
found the most entertaining, his ideas on
the Greek tra edy, or blaksmithing. Cer-.
Iain y be dign tied mechanics in my eyes.”

ning, were largely attended. Dr. Jewett,
the veteran lecturer, was listened to with
much attention, and the Hutchinsons 'did
their full share towards the entertainment of
the audiences. .
Isabella Hooker’s Grand army in New
Haven numbered twentyefive, ambitious
women. As the registrars refused to put
their names upon thelist, Isabella issued ,a
general order appointing a meeting for con-

would be upon the Selectmen.
The Independent says that an old lady
named Sheehan, wholives on the Ely Neck
road, while walking home, in the snow
storm Monday night fell through the rail-

badly bruised. The railroad was not built
fur pedestrians, and they should keep all“
the track. ' I » ‘
The Democratic Senatorial Convention
for this District, was held at South Norwalk
on Thursday last. As Mr. Woodward had
twice received the nomination, and as his
name was not strongly urged as standard-
bearer on this occasion, Mr. Sherman
Morehouse, of Wilton, was selected as the,
candidate. ' '
Two engineers,—Messrs. John Campbell,
of New York, and J. Camp, Jr., of Hudson
City, N. J .,—have‘ been engaged? to revise
Prof. Twining’s survey of the New York «95
Eastern Railway. They are to commence
operations this morning, at the State line in
Greenwich, and will probably cémplete
their work in a few days.
The Selectmen will be in session to-day
at South Norwalk, and to-morrow in the
Third District, to admitnew voters. Next
Saturday they will hold anothcrsession at
the office of the Town Clerk, in the new
Bank Building. Next week Monday and
Tuesday they will meet to hear appeals
fi'om the doings of theRe'glstrars. '

An exchange, in speaking of “newspaper
errors,” says: “Every column of a news-
paper contains from twelve to, fifteen thou.
sand distinct pieces of metal, the displace-
ment of any one of which would cause a
blunder or typographical error. And yet
some people lay claim to remarkable smart.
ness if they can discover an error in a
newspaper. When such people find‘a word
with a wrong letter in it, they are so sure
they could spell that single word right, that
they are happy for a whole day.”

The Straw not Monument".
One of our manufacturing interests which
has recently shov’vn a large increase, is the
manufacture of straw hats, by Messrs. John
P. Beatty & Bros. This firm came to Nor-
walk sixteen years ago and established their
present factory, taming out about seventy-
tive dozen hats per day. Though not en-
tirely free from the troubles incident to the
establishment and maintainunce of such on-
priscs, they have each"‘year'added to their
works and increased their business. At the
present time they haveon’ their pay-roll the
names of three hundred employees, requir-
ing a distribution of‘ three thousand, dollars
per week. They produce on an average
three hundred dozen hats per day. At the
commencement of the present season they
took possession of and fitted up the old, Al-
lerton Iron Works building, with all the
modern improvements, and produce about
two hundred dozen bats per day in that
shop. This requires two hundred and fifty
more employees. Trade is very brisk with
them this season and they are tasked to their
utmost capacity to fill their orders, trequent-
ly working nights, furnishing the young in-
dies employed, with their suppers at'thc fac-
tory. - ‘ ‘ f ' ‘

walk has gone to his rest. 'H‘enry Selleck,
an old resident of our town, with whom
almost all of our older citizens were person-

all with whom he came in contact, died last
Wednesday at the advanced age of seventy-
five years. He came to Norwalk, from New
Canaan, in 1818, and established himself in
the shbe business, and for many years was
the most prominent dealer in town. In 1840
be was elected a member of . the Board of
Selectmen, in which ofiicehe gave such gen-
eral satisfaction, that he was retained, year
atler.year, until ,‘December, 1856, when he
was allowed to retire. ' In 1859 he was call-
ed upon again to fill the position, which he
did for three years, since which time ' he
lived a quiet life,.dev'oting himself only to
standing, and in 1825-16 was W. Master of
St. John’s Lodge, and was the first M. E.
High Priest of Washington Chapter. His
funeral was attended on Saturday last hour

To many of our citizens the above name
will recall the erect, commanding figure.
and remarkably fresh and pleasing counte-
nance of one who bore a prominent part in
the deliberations of the General Conference
at South Norwalk, last November. He died
at Southington on the 9th inst, in the 64th
year of his age.
In the removal of this well known, devo-
ted pastor, lhe Congregational churches and
ministry of Connecticut have sustaineda
severe loss, and the denomination is_called
to part with one of it strong and valuable
men. ‘ ’
A native of Hartlanl, Conn., his robust
frame, his fine, striking «face, and salient
characteristics, were quite in keeping with
the rugged and picturesque features of his
childhood home.
A graduate of Yale College in the class of
1831, and successively a tutor in the college,
a teacher in New London, and a student of,
theology in Virginia, declining a call to
settle in New London,-iu 1837, he was or-
dained and installed pastor of the Congrega-
tional church of Southington, where he
spent his entire ministerial life of 35 years.
Not more than two or three of the present
Congregational ministers of the State have
held their pastorate for so long a period. A
man of sturdy native qualities, marked in-
dividuality, and pronounced character, he
has left upon the community, among whom
he lived and labored for more than a genera-
tion, impressions which will not soon be
efi‘aced. .
Though ' neither brilliant nor specially
profound, he was confesscdly one of the
wisest, ablest. and most scholarly ministers
in the Commonwealth. His ready, practi-
cal insight, and his life-long, systematic
studies‘had made him not only proficient in
his own department, but conversant also, to
an unusual degree, with a variety of sub-
jects not directly connected with his pro-
fess‘ion.
Owing to a constitutional conservatism
he did not always escape the imputation of
an unprogressive spirit, and yet, in familiar-
ity with current questions of public interest,
he was fully abreast with the times.
For many years past he has been an es:
tcemcd and honored member of the corpor-
ation of Yale College, and latterly also a
member of the Prudential Committec,—a
select and important Board, intrustcd with-
many of the financial and other interests of
the College,—a position for which he was
eminently fitted by his great good sense,
sound judgment, and knowledge of atfairs.
Both these offices he held at the time of his
As a preacher, Mr. Jones was always in-
structive and effective, and frequent revivals
have attended his ministry. But-preemi-
neatly he was, like Apollos, “mighty in the
scriptures.” In the very beginning of his
ministry he formed the habit of the daily,
critical study of the Bible—setting apart for
the purpose the freshest hour of the morn-
ing—without any reference to the subject of
the sermon in hand. To this habit, con-
tinued though lifc,he attributed his ability
to sustain, with increasing ease, so-long a
ministry in one place. His sermons were.
wonderfully rich 'in apt illustrations drawn
from the Word of God; and beyond any
preacher to whom we have ever listened,
not excepting either Mr.- SpurgeOn or Mr.
her‘, he possessed the rare gift of imper-
sonating scriptual characters, and «if vividly
presenting Bible scenes as‘in a picture. This
was particularly true of his extemporaneous
expository discourses,——uniform1y preached
in the afternoon of the Sabbath fora num-
ber of years past—in the‘delivery, of which
he often gave the reins to all his playful
humor, keen sarcasm, mimicry, and tira-
maticpower—a thing all the more surpris-
ing from the fact that be was uaturally‘a
man of exceeding modesty and reserve, and
succeeded. in..investihg his weekly exposi-
tions of the scriptures with'a peculiar charm,
and in rendering his. pulpit efforts, during
the last years of his lite, the most telling and
attractive of his whole ministry.
Apparently he had scarcely reached the
zenith of his power, and his people had con-
fidently hoped he might live to preach his
semi-centennial sermon. But typhoid fever
quickly prostrated his strengthfand so far
unsettled his mlnd that his stricken family
and people were denied even the comfoft of
any dying measages from his lips.
But long will he live in the aficctionate
remembrance of the people whom he faith-
fully served, and, for many a year to come,
will the frutts of his self-denying and abun-
dant labors abide among them.
His funeral was attended on Tuesday, the
12th inst, from the church where he had
ministered, prayer having been previously
offered at his late residence, by Rev. Mr.
Eastman, of Plantsville. The church,
elaborately and tastefully draped, was filled
to overflowing with a large concourse of
citizens, representing every denomination
and class in the community, and in the con-
gregation were many clergymcn from the
im iate vicinity, and from remoler parts
oft State.
‘ President Porter, (01’ Yale) a classmate
and life-long friend of Mr. Jones, preached
the sermon, the other services. being con-
ducted by Rev. Messrs. Twichell, of Hart-
ford, aud, Dunham, of Norwalk. A brief
service at the grave was performed by Rev.
Mr. Freeman, of the Baptist church. .
The sermon, which will, doubtless, be
published, was a discriminating and just
analysis of Mr. Jones’ character as a man
a christian, and a christian pastor, and a
fitting and beautiful tribute to the memory
of one who must always hold an honorable
rank in the long line of our New England
clergy.

thieves, the other night. The thieves awak-
ened the family. Mr. Wordcn’s son crept
out one way around the house to intercept
the thieves, and Mr. Worden’s colored man
scizingapistol crept out the other way
around to do likewise. The valiant knights
met, each supposing the other to be the
thief. Young Worden let the other fellow
havea crack on the head from the club,
and the other fellow gave him a pistol
wound in the arm. Things were getting
serious when recognition ensued, and all
terminated with no further mishap. Mean-
while the thieves had got off with a dozen
