A few days since, as a lady of rather inquisitive character was visiting our county seat, among other places she called at the Jail. She would ask the different prisoners for what crime they were in there. It went off well enough, till she came to a rather hard looking specimen of humanity, whom she asked:

"For stealing a horse."
"Are you not sorry for it?"

"Won't you try and do better next time?"
"Yes! I'll steal two."
