,SonE SrEaLIxG-Stealing down in Morris
County has become mania, and if the stories
hear are to be credited, the expertness Of some
OF the thieves throws +" science into the shade
After exhausting the supply Of things anir:ate,
such As horses, cattle. sheep, shoats, and dogs,
the thieves are turning their attention to heav-
Ter" articles. An instance will illustrate: A
few nights since, the owner Of saw-mill, in the
neighborhood of Council Grove, brought in from
the woods very fine saw log, which he was
anxious to manufacture into lumber. 1t was o
6ne large black walnut stick, green, with the
bark on. Night coming on before he could get
it cut up, he was obliged to leave it out upon the
bx-way. Fearing that it might be stolen, he
employed couple Of men to watch it. Supplied
with jug of whisky. and pack of cards, the
watchmen mounted astride the log, and engaged
in the intellectual recreation known as "old
sledge," by moonlight. Towards morning. the
men becoming weary of the game and the liquor,
hid back upon the log and fell asleep. See now
what happened Whilst they slept, some OF the
Morris county thieves. who had been watching
their opportunity. approached. drove an iron
ysdge into the log. hitched on their cattle, drew
out The log and cleared with it, leaving the dis.
e6nsolats watchmen asleep on the bark, with
their iug between them, and their cards laying

G5 We learn that Lieutenant Colonel Wood
formerly of the Kansas Second, but late of the
Sixth Missouri Cavalry, has resigned his com
mission and returned to Council Grove, there to
reside if his resignation is accepted. Reason OF
resigning-inability of himself and Halleck to
agree upon the policy of conducting the war
Wood is a fighting man, and ought to be in the

end Of which time he was to have certain re-

the respect and esteem of the community by his
faithfulness, intelligence, and good social quail

MURDER WILL OUT.-We have this week to
record a remarkable verification of this saying
In November, 1857 woman named Agner
widow of Ordnance Sergeant. was found
dead at Fort Riley. She was strangled to death
and robbed of $ll0O in gold. Previous to her
death, she had made will, which gave to two
female slaves, name Stna and Patsee, still living
at the Fort, their freedom and $500 each. Sus
picion Immediately fell upon these two, and they
were put in the guard house, and every means
taken to make them confess, even to putting a
rope around their necks. They were finally
released, the whole thing remaining in a state
Of mystery. The circumstance was almost en-
.trely forgotten, when a letter was received q
few days ago from Fort Laramie, stating that
some four or five months since, there died at that
: Post soldier whose name We have not learned,
belonging to c company, ID Dragons. who con-
sessed upon his death-bed to having been the
murderer 1t is seldom parallel occurs.
