ing win be held al Thomas Hulls, on Saturday
the 26th Of February, 1858, to take into cons id.
sration the propriety Of making plank Dad
from Hannibal Ferry 10 the Illinois Bluffs"
Il il unnecessary 10 comment on the great
importance Of this enterprise TO the trade OF
Hannibal. The road will cost about Ten thou
sand dollars. Stock TO the amount of FIVE thou
sand dollars has already been taken by the Han
nibal Ferry Company. Our citizens generally
have subscribed portion of the remaining five
thousand dollars, and if they have any regard
fOf their own interests, they will Immediately
come forward, in liberal spirit, 10 contribute
towards making up the balance. We do moi
forget the enterprise and wealth of onr Illinois
ncighbOrs, or doubt that we can depend on them
for assistance, but our citizens have too much
spirit to look across the river for means TO ac-
eomplish the whole work.
We entertain confidence enough in the pros
poet Of the amount Of stock being soon made up,
10 say that the road will be commenced in the
Spring. t

SUPPOSED HORSE THEE ARRESTED

Last Wednesday, OdenJahl and Lathrop had
4 lively chase after supposed horse thief, and
succeeded in naO5ing hun. They were on the
way to Greenbush with a lot of candy, and had
reached the bluff the other side of Smith Creek,
when Lathrop called o lendlhl's attention to the
color Of the coat worn by pedestrian ahead Of
them. Both recognized at once that the indi-
vidual correspondent to the description they had
received Of Charlie the person who stole the
horse from Nauvoo. Odendahl called out to the
stranger and asked him the time Of day. when
the latter broke for the woods at a keen Jump.
In moment OIendahl was out Of the buggy and
after him, gun in hand. Lathrop followed as
rapidly as the state of the ground would permit,
with the vehicle, breaking up, in the operation,
about twenty-five dollars worth Of candy At
ter chase Of perhaps a quarter Of mile,
Odendah overlook the stranger and drew bead
on him, at the same time calling upon him to
surrender. The stranger drew a bowie knife,
but Odendahl perceived the movement, and by a
sudden stroke knocked the weapon into the air.
By this time Lathrop had come up, when they
secured the fellow and brought him BACK to
town.
In his pocket was found several bogus dol
lars, and ten or twelve dollars in genuine gold
and silver coin. Upon his examination, the
gr.ui.e COIN was returned 10 him. but it has
since been disclosed that it belonged to John
Reed, Esq, and had been stolen that day. The
individual was forwarded to Nauvoo in care of
body guard, the same day.
Those concerned in his arrest certainly de-
serve credit for their promptnesS and engergy
in apprehending hin.-[Oquawka (Il.) Spec

ever was burned, except the tent and the pri-
vate papers Of one Of the company. 1t is prob
able that The Bear Greek route will have to be
survey ed. Should this be done, it will be per-

gineers will be ready to submit the results Of
their iabors to the Board of Directors. TIL,
surveys have been very thoroughly and com
