A Horse Thief Caught.

A man by the name of SAMUEL Brown
was arrested by officers POTTER, Of Plea
san, Valley, and DAoENnARr. of Boons-
boro' last week, and committed TO the
Washington County, Md, Jail, upon the
charge of stealing a valuable horse from
the wagon yard of Mr.. ITNYRE, in Boons-
boro', the property Of Mrs. DAVIS, of
Beaver Creek. BRowN brought the horse
to this place and sold him to Mr.. JAMES
A. ADAMS, for llS sum of 500, half cash
and for the other half note was given.
Mrs. d. has recovered her horse, and we
are sorry TO say Mr.. ADAMS is the loser.
Such scamp deserves TO be punished TO
the extreme end of the law.
