minated
Ran or horse attached to buggy, con-
tanning gentleman named Lee, and another
whose name we could not learn ran off yester-
day morning in the vicinity of st. James
| Church, Aisquth street, and dashed down Ais
quth to Gay street at furious rate. He kept
down Gay to Harrison street, and down Harri-
son to near Baltimore street, where the horse
was brought up by coming in contact with a
wagon. The buggy was completely used up,
and bot!l gentlemen thrown out, one receiving
a severe wound in the leg; the other escaped
with but trihiDg injury. We learn that they
were returning from camp meeting, and that
the horse became frightened at COW in the
street Both parties made a narrow escape
from being killed, as did also several persons in
The Stolen Goods. A large amount of the
! goods recovered by officers Hays and Snyder,
! have been identified and taken away BY the
owners. Several spoons and an overcoat found
in a house in Lombard St., have also been iden-
tilted by parties, who have had them stolen
| from them. Mrs. Armstrong, of the county.
claimed one of the birds and cages, also some
iewclry, which she had lost some time SINCE
| There is not the shadow Of doubt of all the
| goods having been stolen, and will all probably
be identified. A full examination Of the par
ties charged with stealing and receiving them
will be had at an early day, when the truth in
regard to their probable guilt will come out.

unforming. They have ordered a large num-
Der of caps from Jas. L. McPhail, No. 1872
