Arthur Fisher of this city ''"•fug pwed about 55 bushels of clover moved it to Mr. Nibliq -A/waJ lIS0 ’ an( l cleaned it over for market, sacked and weighi Njit. Ho had taken two sacks of the seed to sow on the farm and yesterday his attention was called to look over his seed, and upon examieation found that there had been taken 14 bushels valued at about SIOO. Mr. Fisher has not the slightes clue to who the party was, he is using every effort to sift tbe matter and find tbe crimnal if possible, and if found he will see that the criminal reeps bis reward, by being placed behind the bars for a term of years.

The frantic mother.immediately came to the cab where the poor child lav overturning it and snatched it from the flames. The fire was soon extinguished but the baby was binned to a crisp in several places. The little one suffered the most excruciating agonies until seven o'clock p. m. when death came to its relief. The child was buried in the Catholic Cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Wedding Anniversary On last Sunday evening while Henry B.
