A ONCE M)l ED DRSPERADO TURNS PRfiaCBER. Abe Buzzard, once noted as the "Terror of Welsh Mountain," is no a free man and a preacher. The board of pardons at Harrisbarg, Pa , has released him from the eastern penitentiary of Pennsylvania on two grounds one that he was wrongf ally convicted on the charge which added nine years tc his sentence, and the other that be had been "soundly con' verted" while in prison. For many a year the papers told of the doing" of the "Buzzard gang" in the rugged wilderness covering adjacent sections of Lancaster,Chfc8ter and Berks conn ty.Pa. Many conflicting stories were told, so let as first hear Abe's: "I was au outlaw from necessity, not from choice, as the following brief outline of y early life will show: I was born on Christmas night, 1:52, in a little log house near the Welsh moantains. I was one of a half dozen children born to poor but respectable and hon est parents, who did all in their power to teach us our duty to God and our fellows. My father, John Buzzard, 'was a deeply religious man and named me for his favorite Biblical character Abraham. When the re bellion started, my father was among the first to offer his services to bis country and died fighting nobly in her behalf." His mother married again, and there were quarrels. The six boys were driven oat, Abe says, in child hood. Two girls, born to the second marriage, are and always have been honest. He goes on to tell how he committed one crime and was then charged with all others and harassed till he became an outlaw, and then concludes: "I was arrested several times and escaped as often, ol ways fleeing to the mountains. While lu hiding after my last escape I realized that God loved even me, and that his love would and could lead me from sin, as it did Paul of old. I resjived to return to the Welsh mountains as a missionary and preach tbe gospel of God's love and Christ crucified t my old companions and earnestly en deavor to save them from a further life of sin and shame." Bo he surrendered early in 1885, and in spite of an agreement to the con traiy, as he claims, was sent io serve out his 13 years' sentence Lancbter county tells a very different story. According to her citizens, "the old woman was a thief , and allthebOjS took after her. They followed htr about and stole from the houses where she worked. They have all Biz been in jail, and finally Ike tried to give up Abe and get the $1,000 re. ward. There was a regular gaog, two or three dozen of white and black men and women' holding the Welsh moantains and living on the coun try." :;.;:':;; Ike died in tbe penitentiary. The other four Buzzards reformed. The colored men got off with light sen tences, and now Abe is a preacher. His first sermons were delivered in Philadelphia to the largest audi ences the churches would hold, and preached well. Every hearer agreed on that.

Io the cse of Henry .Frlck, of Nor- rietowu, Pa., who is eighty five years old, bliod, cupid only led to the In sane asylum. A lunacy commission decided last week that because Frlck was eager to wed a second wife was do proof of insanity, and le,t the old mango His children had caused the investigation. That victory spurred on the aged lover, who was enamored of a widow residing near Belfry station. But two physicians have concluded that Frlck is insane, and he is now in the Norristown Asylum. LAY OF SUMMER DAYS. Richmond State. " I would not sing alway," the poet sadly cried ; " Oh, let me sing one lay, and then to glory glide." The poet eang his lay, and then was taken sick. The coroner couldn't say who threw the brick. Down in the mead own are daisies 'mid the dew, but in Ricbui )ud town the people frown, and gently articulate as they exchaoge wearied greetings,and mop fifty cents' worth of perspiration from their mas sive brows with fifteen cent hapdken chiefs: " Is it hot enough for yon?" A LIVE LIZRD ON HER BREAST A pretty, stylishly dressed young woman walked into a New York jew elry store and asked to be allowed to look at some stick pins. She picked out a pi a with a gold chain attached about six inches long. "Now I'd like you to fasten the end of the chain about the neck of this little animal," said the young woman, as she pulled a small box from her pocket and re moved a green lizard about six itches 1 tog. The jeweller opened his eyes in astonishment as the lizard squirmed about the young woman's hand. "What," he exclaimed, "you don't mean to wear that lizard as an ornament, do you?"1 "Certainly, 1 do," replied the young woman. Mr. SittnT shuddered, but succeeded in attaching the chain about the rep tile's need, and the pretty girl stuck the pin in her coat and walked out with the peculiar green adornment over her breast. SNAKES KILLED BY WHOLE SALE. John Litaker, of China Grove. N C, felled a large oak tree and COm menced to saw it up. In the third cut, about six feet up the tree, what appeared to be', blood followed the course of the saw, there being a COU siderable boUow In the log at that point. It was split opto The whole inside was filled with half torpid snakes of tbe water mcooasin species. They were about two feet long, about an inch thick, and of a dark broWu color Mr Litaker promptly killed the entire squirming mass, and on a careful count there wei found to be 914 snakes. On splitt'tog open ftttv other cut of the log the two Old snakes wer found. They were in a half torpid condition also. They were also killed, making 216 snakes killed in one day, and because of the cool weather it was not a first class day for snakes, v THE ISSUE JOJ.NED.
