The thief whose a identity ia now known to the officers, told a plausible tale of being a Pomeroy farmer who was about to he closed out nnder mort gage and said if he could sell the moles he could pay the interest and a portion; of the" principal, whn bis creditor would extend the time on the balance.

' The Way the English Poet Received . Ralph Waldo Emerson. When Emerson, the "great American writer, came to- England be paid a ris It to Wordsworth, says nn English magazine. Wordsworth had Just re turned from a journey-and was in his garden writing a poem on what he bad Been. The visitor found the great poet a white haired, tall; sparely fcuilt man, of a rugged, rustic type wita nothing, unless it were the fine eyes. bJ bint of the poet ' , 'i I ''.'".-..', '""'i,::J'-:-.r :' Words worth 1 made no ceremony over the visit of the man from a far land, but said Instantly when be was called to greet bim, "If you are Interested in my poetry perhaps you will like to bear these lines." Emerson politely agreed, and this is what happened. Emerson has himself written the. story down -f 01 us. The' old. poet thought for a few moments, then stood forth and repeated with great animation an entire poem he had written ! (; " "The recitation." the American phi losopher wrote afterward, "was so on looked for and surprising Words worth standing apart and reciting to me in a garden walk, like a schoolboy declaiming that at first I was neartd laughing; but, recollecting myself that I had come thus far to see a poet and J he was chanting poems to me, 1 snw that he was right and thnt I wns wrong and, I gladly gave myself up to hear.' . .
