AnOiher Horse 7HiG Caught-Mt
Den DiScOrered.-An interesting trial
was held on Saturday last before Jus,i-
ces Doo!iitle and Curtis, which resulted
in committing to jail man by the name
OF Leonard, for horsc.stcaling. /, APP
pearcd on the trial that a regular den had
been prepared on the farm Of DR.. Dag.
gen, above Lockport, which was con-
strucicd by building large hay stack,
and excavaiing horse stable underneath,
and below the surface Of the earth. The
entrance was concealed by covering it
with boards and scattering hay on them
so as 10 give it the natural appearance OF
4 hay stack. How many horses have
passed this den to distan, market, is un-
known; but when discovered two were
in it, which, however, were taken out and
disappeared before legal steps were taken.
A pile of manure was found in the stable,
and a considerable pile several rods from
there, thrown into a slough and conceal.
ed by high grass. 1t had been conveyed
there from the stable OH wheel.barrow
The evidence was quite satisfactory, and
The gentleman was committed to a cell
quite as far below the surface rs was his
horse s,able-lhere TO await his trial.
The time has arrived for the energetic
prosecution of the mdrauding scoundrels
who have lately Ii, upon the western
country for the scene of their ou,rages.--

Wright, suspected of being an accomplish
with Leonard, had hearing before two

appointments for Neio York.
The applicants for appointments in New York,
may begin to look out for the break Of day. Mr.,
Senator Jones, in opposing resolution Tor hold
ing afternoon sessions, yesterday, remarked that
such sessions would at present be out Of the ques
ton, because the Senators from the first district
had been every afternoon of the past, and would
be every afternoon of the present week, engaged
in conference with the Governor, upon the subject
OF appointments for New York. These matters
must be considered as OF no small moment, when
il takes the combined powers OF the Governor and
three Senators 10 decide them. The probability
is we are informed, that lew removals, and conse.
quenlly few appointments, will be made, sex
cept for cause" There is much meaning in the
last phrase, if people could always understand
what idea our dignitaries wish to convey. Judges,
commissioners and notarles may now be on the
qui uire, as they will know their fate in the course
OF the present week.
