A REVEREND HORSE THIHT.-The arrest Ct
Elijah Bowen, in Maryland, for horse steal
ing recently, was mentioned. An account of
his previous debut at City Point, Va, in the
combined character of Fourth Of July Orator
and horse thief, was also mentioned. The
Monroe county (Va.) Democrat gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars Of this extraor-
dinary old sinner:
This same individual came to Edinburg. In
the county of Shenandoah, in the year lsis,
representing himself as minister of the Cos
pei, of the Moravian Faith. BY his gentle
manly department and highly interesting con-
versation, added to his refined education, he
soon succeeded in ingratiating himself into
the good graces of the most wealthy and influ-
ential men OF that portion of the county. A
short time thereafter he married a respectable
and became pastor of the German Reformed
Church, near Edinburg.
At this time he rsjoiced in the name Of Jo-
seph Welsey Bond. He made several visits
north, and Invariably brought home fine
horse and buggy until August, 1851, when he
was arrested at Susesex, New Jersey, tor horse
stealing-tried and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for three years. After being confined for
short time. he wrote an account Of his ar.
restand trial, portion of which the writer of
this remembers. After giving an account of
his arrest he says:
The COED Judge, God bless him, in accent most
Declared such a prisoner ne'er before him did
minister of Jesus, with experience of years,
Was sight all sufficient to melt him to tears.
Since that time nothing has been heard of
him until his arrest in Frederick county. Md,
few weeks since.
