ARREST OF Horse E-THIEvEs.--Som
during the latter part of April, two men came
to this town and hired horse and carriage OF
Mr.. William V. Grieves, with the understands
ing that they were to return in about week.
AT the expiration Of the week, Mr.. Cir ewes re-
ceived letter from them, dated at one of the
interior towns of Pennsylvania, containing ten
dollars, and saying they were enable to COM
plete their business in the allotted time, and
named day when they would return. Not
making their appearance still, Mr.. G. became
apprehensive of the fate of his horse and carri-
age, and in few days proceeded to Philadel-
phia and put several policemen on " the hunt"
who promised TO do all that could be done to-
wards arresting the gentlemen. Finding, at
the expiration of two weeks, that they had ac-
cOmplshed nothing Mr.. G. set about the task
himself lie followed in their wake from the
town in Pennsy lvania, (from whence their letter
was dated,) through that State into New York,
from town to town, sometimes on and then
off their k,'-travelling day and night, until
he reached Utica, in the northern part of the
State, and within two days ride of Canada,
where he found them. When confronted, they
began 20 cry like children, declaring that they
intended to return, but had not enough money,
&c. They were arrested, examined before the
Recorder, and committed to Jail in default OF
81 900 bail, to appear at court and answer the
charge of horse-steaing. Their names are
Simon II. Lemon and Samuel H. Josephs-
Jews from Philadelphia, and men of education,
one of them, we believe, 4 lawyer. They
had previously hired horse and carriage for
several days, when, returning promptly, they
got the confidence of Mr.. G.
On Saturday last, after an absence of two
weeks, Mr.. Grieves returned home, bringing
with him his horse and carriage, which were
but little the L" worse for wear" The gentlemen
proposed to sell the team Gas was learned by
MIR. G.) in several of :he towns through which
they passed, but failed, either by their price,
or the unwilIingness of the people to purchase

TIE CRoPs.--The prospect of the wheat crop
we are pleased to be able to state, is improving
since the falling of the late showers. There
are some good fields, but the majority of them
are seriously injured, while a number will not
be worth harvesting. The oat crop could not
be more promising, and the prospect is in favor
of large yield. The hay harvest about at
hand, will be very heavy. Corn though in
some fields much cut by the worm, is starting
off finely. Many potatoes will be put into the
ground the present season.
