zhs Burlington Scheme,

The Mt. Pleasant Observer, speaking Of
the Burlington scheme to which we have
alluded, remarks:
Now we think il is time Burlington
had outgrown this li,tleness. Come up
and help us build this Road north and
south, through our noble State-a Road
that will place you not in ction with
Warsaw. but it'll ST. Louis certain-pos.
sibly with New Orleans and the Gulf,
on the soutl', aud with Dubuque certaiu
possibly St. Paul and St. An,hony's
Falls. or the north. Is i, not an object
worth striving for? Now, We are not
trying to persuade you not to help to
build the Warsaw and Rockford road, If
you choose to do 30, it will not affect the
construction Of The road on this side of
the river in the least, notwithstanding the
conclusion of the Hswkeye correspondent
to the contrary. 1t will be perceived thai
of the population and nine
tenths of The trade, which he has set
to the account Of the former road
are already on this side of the river, and
will most certainly stay here, if q road is
on this side.
But enough has been said on this sub
to convince the most skep'ical of the
vast advantages to be derived from q rail-
road connecting the northern and southern
of this State. We hope the voters
IF Henry county will ponder the matter
veil, and be prepared to act wisely on the
proposition that the county shall aid in
it.

APPEARANCES y DECKIrFUL.-On
Saturday last there was some excitement
in town about a case of horse-s,ealing in
Palmyra.
A valuable mare belonging to Prof. Cor
byn OF that place, with 4 $40 saddle be-
longing to ]. NJ. Dickson, having been
stolen. Dickson came up here in pursuit.
and passing through Cleghorn's sable
discovered the Identical animal, as he sup
posed. A warrant was issued for q Mr..
Perdew. who brought her here. but who
declared that he bought her some 70 miles
from Palmyra, al he could prove by q
hundred Witnesses. After some parley-
ing, the parties started for Palmyra with
a view 10 test Perdew's statements. On
arriving there they learned ,ha, tie Pro-
fessor's mare had been taken TO Quincy.
or in that direction, and sold with The sad
die. for $50. with which money the thief
bought a suit Of clothes and took the
Packet for St. Louis. since when v have
not heard Of him. Of course Mr.. Per.
dew was relieved from all suspicion, and
MIR. Dickson, BY way Of repsra,iou, paid
all expenses of the legal proceedings, a.
we'll as Of the trip down 10 PALMYRA and
back.
1t is said that the two naes are "as like
as two peas so that The keenes, eve
could scarcely distinguish them. But the
Rueerest ten In the whole affair is the in.
cident which led to the recovery OF the
stolen mare. A slave had shot another
negro whose wife the first named wished
to capture. The master of the %culprit, 10
order to save him, had run him of to ILL.,
nols. Officers went in pursuit and
brought him back. On their retui n, the
slave told the officers that the thief, with
Corbyn's mare and Dickson's saddle. had
crossed over into Ill.,, on tho same boat
with himself. Upon this information pur.
suit was made, and the property re-
covered.
In connection with this matter. -. ar.
requested to publish the following cer,i6-
cate /.
