It is toward the end of an after noon in December, and Wilfred Rol leston is walking along a crowded London street with his face turned westward. A few moments ago and he was scarcely conscious of where he was or where he meant to go ; he he was walking on mechanically in a heavy stupor, through which there stole a haunting sense of degradation and despair that tortured him dully. And suddenly, as if by magic, this has vanished ; he seems to himself to have waked from a miserable day dream to the buoyant consciousness of youth and hope. Temperaments which are subject to fits of heavy and causeless depression have their compensations sometimes in the very violence of the reaction which follows; the infesting cares, as in Longfellow's poem, "fold their tents, like the Arabs, and as silently steal away," and with their retreat comes an exquisite exhilaration which more equable dispositions can never experience. Is this so with Twolleston now? He only knows that the cloud has lifted from his brain, and in the clear sunshine which bursts upon mm he can look his sorrows in the iace, and that there is nothing so terrible in them after all. It is true that he is not happy at the big city day school which he has just left. How should ho be ? He is dull and crabbed and uncouth, and knows too well he is a general object of dislike ; no one there cares to associate with him, and he makes no attempt to overcome their preju dices, being perfectly aware that thev are different from him and hat ing theoa for it, but hating himself, perhaps, the most. And though all his evenings are spent at home there is little rest for him even there ; lor tne wort ior me next day must be prepared, and he sits over it till late, sometimes with desperate efforts to master the diffi culties, but more often staring at the page before" him with eyes that are almost wunuiiy vacant. All this has been and . i3 enough in itself to account for the gloomy state into which he had sunk. But and how could he have forgotten it? it is over for the present To-nieht he will not have to sit up struggling with the tasks which will only cover him with fresh dis grace on the morow : for a whole month he need not think of them. nor of the classes in which the hand of eyery one is against him. For the holidays have begun; to-day has been the last ol the term, is mere no reason for joy and thankfulness in that? What a fool he has been to let those black thoughts gain such a lioia over mm j Slowlv. more as if it had happen ed a long time ago instead of quite recently, the incidents of the morn ing come back to him, vivid and clear once more rrorning chapel and the doctor's sermon, and after ward the pretense of work and re laxed discipline in the class rooms, when the results of the examination had been read out, with the names of the boys who had gained prizes and their remove to the form above. He had come out last ol course, but no one expecied anything from him; a laugh had gone round the desks when his humble total closed the list, and he had joined in it to show them he didn't care. And then the class had been dismissed, and there had been friendly good-byes, ar rangements for walking home in company or for meeting during the holidays for all but him ; he had gone out alone and the dull blank- ness had come over him from which he has only just recovered. But, ior the present at all events, he has got rid of it completely : he is going home, where at least he is not despised, where he will hnd a sanctuary from gibes and jostlings and impositions; and the longer he thinks of this the higher his spirits rise, and he steps bristly, with a kind of exaltation, until the people he passes m the streets turn and look at him, struck by his expres sion. "They can see how jolly I'm feeling," he thinks, with a smile. The dusk is falling, and the Phops he passes are brilliant with lights and decorations, but he does not stop to look at any of them; his mind is busy with settling how he shall employ himself on this the first evening of his liberty the first for so long on which he could feel his own master. At first he decides to read. Is there not some book he had begun and meant to finish, so many days ago now that he ha3 even forgotten what it was all about, and only re members that it was exciting? And vet, he thinks, he won t read to-night not on the very first night of the holidays. Quite lately yes terday or the day before his moth er had spoken to him, gently but very seriously, about what she call ed the morose and undisciplined temper which would bring misery UDon him if he did not set himself earnestly to overcome it. And there were times, he knew, when it seemed as if a demon pos sessed him and strove him to wound even those who loved him and whom be loved times when their flection onlv roused in him some hideous epirit of sullen contradic tion. He feels Boftened now, somehow, and has a new longing for the love he has so often harshly repulsed. He will overcome this sulkiness of his ; he will begin this very evening ; as soon as he gets home he will tell his mother that he is Borry, that he does love her really, only that when these fits come on him he hardly knows what he says or does. And she will forgive him, only too gladly, and his mind will be Suite at ease again. No, not quite ; iere is still something he must do before that He has a vague recol lection of a long-standing coolness between himself and his younger brother, Lionel. They never have got on very well together; Lionel is go different much cleverer even al ready, for one thing; better looking, used to hang, and hurries up to the door with the heavy Georgian perch impatient to get to the warmth and light which await him within. The bell has got out of order, for set ESTABLISHED, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. JUNE 25, 1884. only a faint jangle comes from be low as he rings; he waits a little and then pulls the handle again, more sharply this time, and Btill no one comes. . When Betty does think proper to come up and open the door he will tell her that it is too bad keeping a fellow waiting out here in the fog and cold all this time. She is coming at last no, it was fancy ; it seems as if Betty had slipped out for something, and perhaps the cook is up stairs, and his mother may be dozing by the fire, as she has begun to do of late. Losing all patience, he gropes for the knocker, and groping in vain, begins to hammer with bare fists on the door, louder and louder, until he is interrupted by a rough voice from the railings behind him. "Now, then, what are you up to there, eh 7" says the voice, which belongs to a burly policeman who has stopped suspiciously on the pavement. ' hy," says Kolleston, "1 want to get in, and I can't make them hear me. I wish you would try what you can do ; will vou r The policeman comes slowly into the gate. I dessay, he says iocu larlv. "Is there anythink else? Come, suppose you move on." A curious kind of dread of he knows not what, begins to creep over Wilfred at this. "Move on?" he cries; "Why should I move on? This is my house : don't vou see ? I live here." "Now, look 'ere, my joker ; I don't want a job over this," Bays the con stable, stolidlv. "You'll brinz crorvd around in another minute if you keep on thot 'ammering." "Mind your own business,' says the other, with growing excitement, "That's what I shall have to do if vou don't look out," is the retort, "Will vou move on before I make you ?" "But, I sav," protests Rolleston I'm not joking ; I give you ray word I'm not I do live here. Why I've just come back from school, and can t get in, "Pretty school you come from growls the policeman ; " 'andles on to vour lesson books, if I knows anything. 'Ere, out you go !" Rolleston 'a fear increases. "I won't ! I won't !" he cries fran tically, and rushing hack to the door beats upon it wildly. On the other side of it are love and shelter, and it will not open to him. He is eold and hungry and tired after his walk ; why do they keep him out like this ? Mother r he calls hoarsely "Can't vou hear me, mother? It's Wilfred ; let me in !'! The other takes him-v-not roughly by the shoulder. "Now, you take my advice," he Bays. lou am t quite yourself ; your making a mis take. I don t want to get you into trouble if vou don't force me to it Drop this 'ere tomfool game and go home quiet to wherever it is you do live." "I tell you I live here, you fool !" shrieks Wilfred, in deadly terror lest he should be forced awav before the door is opened. "And I tell you you don t do nothing of the eort," says the police man, beginning to lose his temper. "No one don't live 'ere, nor ain't done not since I've been on the beat Use your eyes it your not too far gone. tor the first time Kolleston seems to see things plainly as they are ; he glances round the square that is just as it always is on foggy winter evenings, with its central, inclosure shadowy hiack mass against a reddish glimmer, beyond which the lighted windows of the houses glow in yellow bars of varying length and tint. But this house, his own why, it is ail shuttered and dark ; some of the window-panes are broken ; there is a palp gray patch in one that looks like a dingy bill ; the knocker has been unscrewed from the door, and on its scraped panels some one has scribbled words and rough carica tures that were surely not there when he left that morning. Can anything any frightful dis asterhave come in that short time? No, he will not think of it ; he will not let himself be terrified all for nothing. "Now, are you going ?" says the policeman after a pause. Rollestoii puts his back against the door and clings to the sides. "No!" he shouts. "I don't care what you say ; I don't believe you ; they are all in there they are, I tell you, they are they are !" In a second he is in the consta ble's strong grasp and being dragged, struggling violently, to the gate, when a soft voice, a woman's, inter cedes for him. "What is the matter? Oh, don't don't be so rough with him, poor creature," it cries pitifully. "I'm only exercisin' my duty, mum," says the officer, "he wants to create a disturbance 'ere." "No," cries Wilfred, "he lies I I only want to get into my own house and no one seems to hear me. You don't think anything is wrong, do you ?" It is a lady that has been pleading for him ; as he wrests himself from his captor and comes forward she sees his lace, and her own grows white and startled. "Wilfred 1" she exclaims. "Why, you know my name 1" he says. "Then you can tell him it's all right Do I knew you? You speak like is it Ethel ?" "Yes," she says, and her voice is low and trembling. "I am Ethel." He is silent for an instant ; then he says slowly, "you are not the same nothing is the same; it is all changed changed and oh, my God, what an I?" Slowly the truth is borne in upon his brain, muddled and disordered by long excess, and the last shred of the illusion which has possessed him too, and better tempered. Whatever they quarreled about, Wilfred was very sure that he was the offender ; Lionel never begins that kind of thing. Bat he will put himself in the right at once, and ask Wilfred to make friends again ; he will con sent readily enough he always does. And then he has a bright idea : he will take his brother some little TT present to prove that h really wish es to behave decently for the future. What shall he buy? He finds himself near a large toy shop at the time, and in the window are displayed several regiments of brightly colored tin warriors the very thing ! Lionel is still young enough to delight in them.. Feeling in his pockets, Kolleston discovered more lose silver than he had though; he possessed, and so he goes into the shop and asks for one of the boxes of soldiers. He is serv ed by one of the two neatly dressed j female assistants, who stare and gig-1 gle at one another at his first words, rinding it odd, perhaps, that a fellow of his age should buy toys aa if, he thinks indignantly, they couldn't see that it was not for himself he wanted the things. But he goes on, feeling happiei alter his purchase, they will see now that he is not so bad after all it is long since he has felt such a craving to be thought well of by somebody. A little further oa he comes to row of people, mostly women and tradesmen's bovs, standing on the curb-stone opposite a man who is seated in a little wooden box on wheels drawn up close to the pave ment. He is paralytic 'and blind with a pinched, white face framed in an old fashioned far cap with big ear lappets ; he seems to be preach ing or reading, and Rolleston stops idly eneugh to listen for a few mo merits, the women making room for him with alacritv and the boys star ing curiously round at the new ar rival with a grin. He hardly, pays much attention to this ; he is listening to the poem which the man in the box is reciting with a nasal and metallic sauflle in his voice : "There's a harp and a crown. For you and for me. Hanging on the boughs Of that Christmas tree !" He hears, and then hurries on again, repeating the stanza mechan ically to himself, without seeing any thing particularly ludicrous about it. The worda have reminded him of that Christmas party at the Gor don's, next door. Did not Ethei Gordon ask him particularly to come, and did he not reiuse ner sui lenly? What a brute he was to treat her like that! If she were to ask him again, he thinks he would not say no, though he does bate par ties. Ethel is a dear girl, and never seems to think him good for noth ing, as most people do. Perhaps it is all sham, though no, he can't think that when he remembers how patiently and kindly she has borne with his senseless fits of temper and tried to laugh away his gloom iot every girl as pretty as Ethel is would care to notice him, and per sist in it in spite of everything ; yet he has sulked with her of late. Was it because she had been kind to Li onel? He is ashamed to think that this mav have been the reason. Never mind, that is all over now ; he will start clear with everybody, He will ask Ethel, too, to forgive him. Is there nothing he can do to please her ? Yes ; some time ago she had asked him to draw something for her. (He detests drawing les sens, but he has rather taste for drawing things out of his own head.) He had told her, not too civilly, that he had work enough without doing drawings for girls. He will paint her something to-night as a surprise ; he will begin as soon as tea is clear ed away ; it will be more sociable thpn reading a book. And then already he sees a vision of the warm little paneled room, and himself getting out his color box and sitting down to paint by lamp-light for any light does for his kind of coloring while his mother sits op posite and Lionel watches the pict ure growing under his hand. What shall he draw? lie gets quite absorbed in thinking over this ; his own tastes run in a gory direction, but perhaps Ethel, being a girl, may not care for battles or desperate duels. A compromise strikes him ; he will draw a pirate ship ; that will be first-rate, with the black flag Hying on tne mainmast and the pirate captain on the poop scouring the oceaa with a big glass in search of merchantmen ; all about the deck and rigging he can put the crew, with red caps and belts stuck full of pistols and dag gers. And on the right there shall be a bit of the pirate island, with a mast and another black flag he knows he wnl enjoy picking out the skull and cross bones in thick Chinese white and then, if there is room, he will add a cannon, and perhaps a palm tree. A pirate island always has palm trees. He is so full of this projected picture of his that he is quite sur prised to find that he is very near the square where he lives : but here. iust in front of him, at the end of 1 . l . Vt.' 1 the narrow lane, is me puonc-uouse with the coach and four engraved on tbe?ground glass of the lower part of the window, and the bottles full of colored water ranged above. And here is the greengrocer s hew long is it since it was a barber's? surely a very little time and there is the boot-maker's, with its outside display of dangling shoes and the row of naked gas-jets blown to pale blue specks and whistling red tongues by turns as a gust sweeps across them. This is his home, this dingy, old fashined red brick house at an an gle of the square, with a small pav ed space railed in before it He pushes open the old gate with the iron arch above, where an oil lamp drifts away. He knows now that his boyhood with such possibilities of happiness as it had ever held, has gone forev er. He has been knocking at a door which will open for him never again and the mother by whose side he had meant to spend the evening died long years ago. . The past, blotted out completely for an hour by some freak of the memory, comes back to him, and be sees his sullen, morbid boyhood chancing into something worse still, until by slow degrees he became what he is now dissipated, degrad ed, lost erald At first the shock, the awful lone liness he awakes to, and the shame of being found thus by the woman for whom he had felt the only pure love he had known, overwhelm him utterly, and he bows his head upon his arms as he clutches the railings. and sobs with a grief that is terrible in its abandonment The very policeman is silent and awed by what he feels to be a scene from the tragedy of life, though he may not be able to describe it to himself by any more suitable phrase than a rum start "You can go now, policeman," says the lady, putting money in his hand. "You see I know this this gentleman. Leave him to me ; he will give you no trouble now." And the constable goes, taking care, however, to keep an eve ocea sionally on the corner where this had taken place, lie has not gone long before Rolleston raises his head with a husky laugh ; his manner hat changed now : he is no longer the boy in thought and expression that he was a short time before, and speaks as might be expected from his appearance. 'I remember it all now," he says "lou are Ethel Gordon, of course you are, and you wouldn't have any thing to do with me and qnite right, too and then you marrieu 1 a V -wr -w my Dromer Lionel, l ou see i am as clear as a bell again, now. So you come up and found me battering at the old door, eh ? Do vou know got the fancy I was a boy again and coming home to bah, what does all that matter to you ? Odd sort of fancy, though, wasn't it? Drink is always playing me some cursed trick now. A pretty fool 1 must haye made of myself I" She says nothing, and he thrusts hi3 hands deep in his ragged pock ets. "Hallo! what's that I've got?"' he says, as he feels something at the bottom of one of them,-and bringing out the box ot soldiers he had bought half an hour before he holds it up with a harsh laugh which has the ring of despair in it, "Do you see this ?" he says to her, "You'll laugh when I tell vou it's a toy I bought just now for guess whom for your dear husband ! Must have been pretty bad, mustn't I ? Shall I give it to you to take to him no ? Well, perhaps he has out grown these things now, so here goes ;" and he tosses the box over the railing, and it falls with a shiver of broken glass as the pieces of painted tin rattle out upon the flag stones. "And now I'll wish vou good evening," he says, sweeping off his battered hat with mock courtesy. fche tries to keen nim back. "No, Wilfred.no; you must not go like that. We live here still, Lionel and I, in the same old house," and she indicates the house next door: he will be home very soon. Will you" (she cannot help a little shudder at the thought of such a guest) "will you come in and wait for him ?'' "throw myself into his arms, eh?" he says. "How delighted he would be. I'm just the 9ort of brother to be a credit to a highly respectable young barrister like him. You re ally think he'd like it? No: it's all right, Ethel, don't be alarmed, I was only joking. I shall never come in your way, i promise vou. I'm just going to take myself off." Don t Bay that," she says, (in spite ol herself she feels relieved) ; "tell me is there nothing we can do no help we can give you ?" "Nothing, he answers fiercely; I don't want vour pity. Do yeu think I can't see that you wouldn't touch me with the tongs if you could help it It's too late to snivel over me now, and, and I'm well enough as I am. You leave me alone te go to the devil my own way ; it's all I ask of you. Good bye. It's Christmas, isn't it? I haven t dreamed that at all events. Well, I wish you and Lionel as mer ry a Christmas as I mean to have. I can't nay more than that in the way of enjoyment" He turns on his heel at the last words and slouches off down the narrow lane by which he had come. Ethel Rolleston stands for a while, ooking after his receding form till the fog closes around it and she can see it no more. She feels a3 if she had seen a ghost ; and for her at east the inclosure before the desert ed house next door will be haunted ever more haunted by a forlorn and homeless figure sobbing there bv the railings. As for the man, he goes on his way until he finds a door which is not closed against him. The Fewer at Itome.

La Caramboda, the woman bri gand, long a terror to travelers in this region, is dead at last, with a bullet in her heart Her operations extend over many years and were of the most daring description. For a long time the authorities found it very difficult to trace or even to ex plain the crimes which she commit- ted, ior no one suspected that a woman was the guilty person. No two of her robberies were commit ted in the same manner. Sometimes she was a pessenger and at other times she was with the bandits, and took part in the shooting if any was to be done. A woman of some per sonal charms when appropriately dre?ed. she was a fiend when about her business of murder and pillage, whom very few cared to encounter. Her male assistants were many and devoted. One of the schemes, it has been learned, was to bide her time in some town until she iound one or two men of means who were going by the dilngence to some distint point and then to tike pac-sajje with them. It is suspected that on more than one occasion she took the driver into her confidence, but when this could not be done she readily de ceived him or quieted him with a bullet, A perfect mistress of the art of dissimulation and possessing a soft and inMnuatin'' manner, she had no difficulty in working herself into the good graces of travelers who did not look for a Mexican bandit under her attractive guise. In this way she easily discovered who had money and valuables and who had not. If she found a man who ap peared to be of some consequence, but who did not have much money. she betraved him into the bands of her cenfederates, who held him for a ransom. It her victim proved to be well supplied with cash he usual ly met a violent death within twenty four hours. Leaving a town before daybreak in company with two traveb ra whom she had marked for robliery. she would coolly accept the customary innocent attentions at their hands, and perhaps indulge in a little con versation with them. An hour later. when well on the journey, watching her opportunity, she would draw two revolvers, and, before they could detect her movement, ledge a bullet in the back of each of them. The driver, busy with his team, and per haps paid not to be too attentive to what was going on behind him, would not disturb her. With her booty secure, she would take her own time about leaving the stage, always waiting until a point conven ient to the fastness of some of her con federates was reached. It was known that the highways were infested by robbers and it was not thought strange that an occa sional murder was perpetrated, but the similarity between several cases soon attracted attention and various experiments led to the discovery that a woman, operating first on one road and then on another, was at the bottom of them, The plausible stories teld by the drivers served to mystiiv the oflicers more than any thing else. They always asserted that highwaymen had done the work and if inquiry was made at one end of the route for the woman who started u was always said that she arrived at her destination unmolest ed. The absence oftelegrap's and of any regular means of communi cation made it possible to keep up this deception lor a long time. hen the woman found that she was suspected she abandoned this plan of operations and, remaining with the robber band to which she was attached, devoted the greater part of her time to the abduction of wealthy agriculturists. Her plan in these cases was very much the same as in her stage robbery enterprises. First winning the confidence ot her intended victim and getting him in volved in some intrigue, she would betray him at the proper tirae into the hands of her associates, who would spirit him away and present ly open negotiations for his return. While these were in progress she she would be busy setting her net foa a fresh victim a hundred miles away. La Caramboda's last exploit was unsuccessful, She was hovering about theSan Juanico hacienda with the intention of securing the abduc tion of Don C'ivelo Vaaquez or one of his for.s, when a fellow, who had long served in her train, deserted and commuijicated her secret to the authorities. Thy made elaborate preparations to capture her entire but, fairing in tins, they made sure of her and soon had her in irons. Hearing of her fate, her followers determined on a rescue. They pur sued the officers for twenty miles, land, overtaking them at Cannidad. 0Dpne( fir9 at .- i t ence. the troops re turned the shots and a lively en gagement ensued, in the course of which three af the bandits were kill ed and t!'e others put to flight When the troops approached their prisoner after the fight they found her dead, presumably from a bullet fired by her own friends. The chains were removed from her limbs and she was buried by the roadside. One of her captors describes her as a beautiful woman, not more than 30 years old.with clear complexion and King and abundant hair, but with a wicked eye and cruel-looking mouth when in repose.

At the great Blaine ratification meeting held in Cincinnati Saturday evening, Mr. llalstead, of the tW-mercial-Uautte was elected to pre side. On taking the chair he Fpoke as follows : Fellow-Citizens of the Natiox oPTnE United States applause and cheers J I take the chair with the understanding that order w to be preserved by the people, and for the people. JApplauscJ Any disturb ance to-night that may be properly construed to be in the nature of rati fication will be in order. LaujhUr. The object of the meeting is to ex press our approbation of the work of the Republican National Convention in Chicago applause ; our appro bation of the platfona adopted by that body, and of the nomination of James G. Blaine and Jehu A. Lo gan. Applause and Cheers.1 I j have noticed recently, frequently Hthe uanger oi mentioning those names laughter by any one who desires to go on with his remarks. 1 need not dwell on the names of our candidates ; you all know them, and knew them well. The country knows them, and history knows them, and will know more of them hereafter than it has heretofore. Applause. There seems to be no difficulty in ratifying the nomination of Blaine and Logan. Never in the histery of the country were names received in the city where they were presented as candidates for the highest ellice with such demonstrations of popu lar ratification as ia the city of Chi cago. There is no mystery in the nomination of Blaine. Applause. There was no trick about it, nu scheme, no strategy, ao grand tactics; it was expressly and remarkably a nomination by the people. It seems the names of our candidates have excited a good deal of disapproba tion on the part of some of the great and respectable public journals of the day. Several of the journals have halted a little, and seem to be disposed to hesitate a good deal, and to make a number of criticisms in ad vance of the Democratic nomina tion ; but they will find it vain to contend against the popular current that the opposition to Blaine en countered at Chicago. They are entering upon a loaesome and a dusty road, and if they don't get out of it in good time they will find it a tedious and a troublesome way. Applause. 1 don t believe that the peerle of the United States, now numbering 55,(KJ,IXX , are likely to be stamped ed and filled with apprehension and dismay because Blaine believes a little in the exaltation of the Ameri can eagle. Cheers and applause. I don't think there is any cause for alarm about what is known to be or what is believed to be his foreign policy. I understand that it is his policy to advance the American na tion to a higher place among the nations of the earth. Applause. I understand that it is his policy to protect American citizens at home and abroad. Applause. I under stand that be believes it would be a good thing to have the great Ameri can continents to come together in a peace congress that they may pre serve peaee among themselves, and take a becoming staid against the aggressions and the intermeddling of the powers of Europe. Applause. J I am not afraid of any of these things. I don't think the young men of the country are afraid of them. Applause. On the contra trary, they glory in Blaine as the highest type and most brilliant of American statesmen. Applajse.l And if there were any question of doubt as to the supreme fitness and excellence of the nomination of that most able and thorough statesman. James G. Blaine applause, and of that splendid volunteer soldier and experienced statesman, John A. Lo gan Lapplansej ; if there was even a doubt of their fitness for the great trusts now in their hands, it comes home to the whole American people that they munt make a choice be tween the Republican and the Dem ocratic parties ; and I am not aware of anything the Democratic party has done within the last quarter of a century, or anything that it is en abled now to make a promise to do anything that it has done or would like to do that commends it to the confidence and suffrages of the peo ple of the United States. Applause. We shall have to vote whether all the great departments of the Gov ernment shall, or shall not be turned into the hands of the Democratic party, and the present House of Representatives is an example and a warning. Laughter. In a word, I am opposed to trusting thb vast and complex interests of the coun try in the hands of the Democratic party. Loud applause. It den't seem to know what it would do if it could, and so far as it does its ends are evil. The Doing; of a Maniac. A Shartlesville (Pa) dispatch to the New York Tribune of June 13 says: Joel Brensinger.aged 40, a lu natic who escaped from the home of his father in Schuylkill county, pas sed through this place this afternoon He went to the residence of Mahlon Spangler at 11 o'clock last night and attempted to enter the house by force. When he found that hecould not enter he became frantic with rage destroying fences and trees, and killed a large number of chickens. He was driven away by the firing of a pistol. I his morning he entered the house of Emanuel Long. Mrs. Long being the only person at home became frightened ard ga"e the alarm to the neighbors. They col lected and tried to capture the wild man, but without avail. He fought savagely. He was covered with blood from an injury received while passing through the wood. He en tered several of the houses this af ternoon, and tried to break any thing that came in his way. Last evening he broke into the wagon shed of Charles Kaufman, and with a hatchet that was found de stroyed two valuable wagons, be sides chopping up a lot of walnut timber. At the house of John Lestz he entered the kitchen and broke all the dishes. Great efforts were made to capture him by the farmers through whose land he went to no purpose. Brensinger is of muscular build, possesses the strength of four men and weighs 200 pounds. His fa ther had him confined in an out building for some years. To-night a report irom Centreport states that the lunatic is surrounded in the woods near that place, and that an effort will be made to capture him. Gcneral Joseph E. Jonaton and General Bradley S.
