I'elly Thieving.
A great deal of stealing in a small
way has been going on in this city
some time, and is seems impossible
to put a stop to it. When His
Honor, Mayor Felder, gets a guilty
wretch before him in the council
chamber, he gives him a snlli-
cient number ol days to remember
the act, anil Impress it very sulll-
ciently on his mind. It is the same
way when a larger case of larceny
gets before Judge Pilsbury, hut for
all that it seems that the negroes
will Bteal. The other day a negro
pocketed three plugs cf tobacco at
McKenzie’s and was caught out
with it. Gene Doughtie was in
for giving the fellow a taste of a
blacksnake, but no one was around
to take care ot the store while he
did it, so he had to content him
self with making the darkey pay
for it, amt firing him out of the
s'ore. Not long ago a darkey stole
a bottle ol line wine from the same
store, hut drank it up before he
was caught. Hardly a day passes
hut some negro is caught stealing
something from a store. How to
put a stop to it no one knows.

Another llaru lim ned.
Just at midnight, on Tuesday
night, the citizens were roused by
the fire alarm, and the fire comp*
nies hurried to the engine house,
but found that llie lire was too far
off and under too great headway.
It was soon found that Dr. B. C.
Black’s barn had been fired, and
the building, with four hundred
bushels of corn, several stacks of
fodder, fanning implements, and a
ualf and several goats destroyed.
A valuable cow was also burned
very badly. After the woodwork
had burned away buckets of water
were thrown on the burning corn,
and fifteen or twenty bushels saved.
An investigation ol the orctnises
was made by Marshal Lingo,
Wednesday, and tracks were found
leading oil from the building,
through an adjacent field. The
tiaeks appeared to be tnose of two
persons running, and the supposi
tion is that uflcr firing the build
ing the incendiaries made their es
cape before the fire was discovered.
It is to be hoped that the fire fiends
may lie captured and summarily
dealt with. This is the fourth fire
that has occurred within the last
few months, all of them being
barns, and all ol them fired in an
inexplicable manner. It is time
that the guilty villains were brought
to justice, and not until they are,
