The Leavenworth (Kansas) Conserva tive of June 1st, 'says : For some time past two notorious horse thieves and des peradoes, named Marion Keller and Mil ford Sanders, have been roaminsr through Platte county, Missouri. On Thursday last, Justice John Davis, of Parkville, is sued a warrant for their apprehension and placed it in the hands of Dan Kerns, an old soldier, for service upon these two men. Sanders had made threats that he would never be taken alive, aud had open ly defied any one to arrest him. Kerns took with him a posse of six or eight, men and after searching until yesterday noon, the posse came upon their game near Far ley Ford of the Platte river. Kerns im mediately ordered them to surrender, which they refused to do. Finally, how ever, Keller expressed his willingness to give himself up, and held up both hands while one of the party went forward to re ceive his arms. Both Sanders and Kel ler wero armed with a pair of revolve. At this, Sanders, probably thinking no one would sec him, stealthily proceeded to draw one of his pistols; but Kerns' eye was upon him, and ere he could use the weapon, the constable shot him dead. The posse took charge of the other pris oner and proceeded to 'Squire Yocuoi's, leaving the body of Sanders lying where it fell. ' There lias been remarked throuhout the country at present a perfect carnival of crime. Child killing, wife-murder, suicides and arson prevail with unprec edented variety and atrocity. Indeed, at no time since the war have the. laws been so flagrantly broken, aa regards the shields they throw around life. Tho cause is pro bably the very lax manner in which punishment is iuflicted. Iho greater the crime the moro sympathy and tho less likely the penalty. Only a stein iuflic tioo of punishment will check the tide which, bad euouj-h East, runs a perfect torrent in the West and Border States. Last week a man was being tried be fore Judge Mitchell, in Washington, D. C, for the crims of horse stealing ; the jury had just reiired to find their verdict, when an auction bell was heard announc ing the sale of some bauk property ; every body being interested immediately left the court room, and the prisoner walked out with the crowd and left for parts un-Lnovru, ForihoJeirorsoman. cd to be the ashes of Wicklif, were casf The Bible and its Translations. ; ito an adjoining brook, one of the bran No literary undertaking, since the art dies of the Avon. 44 Aud thus," ?:iys of priutiug, was first promulgated through Fuller, 44 this brook did convey his ashes the world, has been more conducive to iuto Avon; Avon iuto Severn; Severn the moral developments of mankind, than into the narrow sea; and this into tho,--the Translation of the Bible.

His character was marked spired the resources of its all possessing by benevolence, piety, and ardcut zeal, to jOrigiuality. The breath of geuius alono ; tcrity of manners, such as befitted the Ifc ri-cs ,r solitary m ijefty shows tho first champion of religious, liberty. Most!cxainp'e aB'l invites all to fullow.

The following are his reasons for this great undertaking: Oh Lord God ! sithin at the beginning of faith, so many men translated into Lat in, and to great profit of Latin men: let one simple creature of God, translate in to Enclish for profit of Englishmen. For, if worldly clerks look well their chroni cles and books, they shoulden find that Bedc translated the Bible, and expounded much in Saxou that was English, either.-j-common language of this land in this time. And not only Bedc, but Kiug Al fred that founded Oxenford, translated in his last days the beginning of the Psalter, iuto Saxou, and would more if he had lived longer. Also Frenchman BcmcrsJ and Britons, haD the Bible and other books of devotion aud exposition, transla ted into their mother language. Why shoulden not Englishmen have the same ; in their mother language? I cannot wit.j ( No, but for falseness and negligence of cicina, j euuer ior,T-- our people is not worthy to have so great grace and gifl of God, in pain of their old sins. Wicklif completed his great work of translation in 1380, and the following is a fair specimen of it The origiual spell iug is preserved in this extract from Wicklif's Bible as a curiosity.

Our lasting gratitude is to be ever given, to such, and to cherish their memory, it is our every day duty.

While the guests were at the table, two maskers canic into the hall who were no larger than children of fivo or six years old; one personated a lord4 the other a lady. Their dress was sp?err did as could be, and they danced vcrj skillfully, to the great diversion of the guests. Everybody said they could not ad mire the dexterity of those polite children: euough. Then an older officer took an apple and threw it between tho dancing couple. Suddenly the lord, and -lady rushed after the apple as though frantic. In the struggle they tore off each other's masks, and behold! instead of children, a couple of monkeys. All the company laughed heartily, but the old officer said' very gravely 44 Monkeys and fools may dress themselves splendidly, but the day soon comes when it is known who ther are. A sermon, published in an exchange, contains the following passage: 44 1 have seen a woman professing to lovo Christ more than the world clad in a silk dressv costing $75; making up and trimmings of same, 10; bonnet (or apology for one). $35; velvet mautle, 8150, diamoud ring 500; watch, chain, pin and other trap pings, $300; total, $1,100 all hung up on frail, dying woman. I have seen her, at a meeting in behalf of homeless wan derers in New York, wipe her eyes upon, an expensive embroidered handkerchief at the story of their sufferings, and when the contribution-box came round, take from a well-filled portomounaie, of costly workmanship, twenty five cents to aiti the Society formed to promote their wel fare.
