"There ik nothibt lirt but to g6 to

A gentleman living in the suburbs
of Pitbuig, Pa-., has an 9robatd of
ve'ry eboe' fruit-, and he was greatly
annoyed by trespasseis who would vis
'it the orobard at night, and carry off
large quantites of apples and other
fruit. One rMorning two mon passing
along the rond sEw a man lying under
a tree in the orchard, and near the
roadside. ie was covered w ith blood
and his clothing reduced to tattera.
At first. it was supposed that the man
wits dead, but moans were heard, and
the men when ovyjr to ascertain ivba't
wfs tht unit'6r. They found the man
almost exhausted and unable to move
himself. They procured water, and
after giving the injured man a drink,
he recovered sufficiently to toll his
naihe and "fla'o of rehidence. lie de.
elined at first to tell thort h'0w he
came to boo in the condition he was
foubNd, at was finally 'perAdiaded to
an explanation. He told thoi that
he had visited the orchard for the
purpose of obtaining some apples, and
had climbod up a tree to avoid detec

how long ian remained so. When ho
recovered his consciotiusness ho felt no
pain, but on attempting to rise he
found thp.t one armu and one leg Were
paralized. Ile did not call for assiis
tance for fear ie would be arrested,
aind concluded that he would remiain

Covered his hands and face, and he
found it impossible to frighten them.
His tormentors persisted in licking
him, and finally commenced tearing
off his coat and flannel shirt, thus en
larging the exposed surface.
'This process was continued until
