interested in an evening service with occa-

MYSTERIOUS. About three o'clock last
Monday, boy took up, on the prairie, half
mile below town, a horse with bride and
martingalc on, and with cash in the neck
almost completely severing the wind ppe.
The horse was recognized as belonging to
man named Dent, from the vicinity of Mag
nolia, who had stopped at the Central Hotel
on Friday, and staid until Monday morning,
when he paid his bill and left at eight or
nine o'clock. About one o'clock the hostlcr
at the hotel says hc came back to the stable
and euquired whether his horse had come
back, stating that lac had thrown him and
run OIL The man then left, and an hour or
two afterwards the horse was found as above.
| 4 brother of Mr. Dent was in town yester-
/ day, enquirng in reference 20 him, and stat
I ing that he had not since been heard Of, and
expressing fears that he has met with a Sc
,ious accident We understand search has
been and is still being made for the missing
man, but thus Far without result. The horse
meantime is in the hands of a farrer, and
will probably be saved.

y MEMBER OF THE GREELEY FAMILY IN Dir.
rscrAy.-On Friday of last week, a man
named Samuel Greeley was brought to Otta-
Wa by constable from the town of Hope.
in this county, and lodged in Jail, charged
with having stolen forty dollars from Gilbert
McCaeb, farmer in that town. From
Grcclcy's own account and the evidence eli
cited at an examination before Esqr. Fisher,
it appears that Greeley had been hired at
Brooklyn, y. Y, 10 come to Illinois and
work on the Great Western railroad, east OF
Decatur. Arriving at Decatur, he didn't
like the looks of things, and concluded 10
make his way back home. So he took the
II. Cent? al r. r. aud got as far as Tonica,
in this county, where, running out of mo-
ney, he hired out TO Mr. McCalcb, to work
on his farm. Now this is the same Mr.
Nee. who was robbed several months ago
of 5000 by some scamps from Madison,
Wis, and having come in possession of a
hired Greeley, he took il to Tonica andplac-
ed 1t on deposit, retaining $40 in gold,
which, for better security, he hid in box
an his garrett among some carpet rags.
But in spite Of his caution, few days af
terwardS the money was missing aud search
being made, found in Greeley's pockets.
Greeley Acknowledged tic theft, and gives,
as his account Of it, that, while lying in bed
and dreaming Of his wife AMI home. he re.
ceived . strange, overpowering impression,
that in box in the garrett (of the existrncc
of which he AYERS he was till then ignorant
he could find the money that would carry
kim home; and obcying the impulse of the
malgn spirit, he arose, made search. and
found it, lie declares il was his first as it
shall be his asst olleRce Of the kind lie
says he is acousn Of Horace Greeley, and as
he is very restless man, foil Of large talk,
and says he occasionally breaches, delivers
lectures and temperance speeches, the family
resemblance seems enough certainly to give
p'ausbllity to the story.
