Owing to the increase in the business
of horse-thieving the citizens of North
Strabane and CHARTERS townships, met
at Patton's Mil some days ago, for the
purpose of adopting measures for the
protection of horses, and after consul
tation q company was organized called
the CHARTERS Horse Protecting Com
pany--the purpose of which will be
searching after stolen horses that be-
long to members OF the company, and
arresting and bringing to justice the.
thieves. John Uric is president and
r. ". Johnson secretary of the com
pany.
A correspondent of the Reporter and
Tribune suggests that the people in
each township of the county contribute
a block or tablet to the county monu-
ment that is being erected to the mem
DRY of fallen soldiers, on which shall be
inscribed the names of those from each
particular township.
Company A, Tooth Pa. Volunteers, in
a card, return thanks to the people OF
West AIiddletown and vicinity for their
kind and patriotic welcome on the 18th
inst. Atthat welcome, by the way, we
notice that Mr.. Boyd Crumrine made
a very Interesting speech, in the course
ofwhich he paid the following tribute

that locality to the war and returned
no more: fT q TIF y

Werlich, John Wherry; thus reads the
noble roll of honor of those who laid
down their lives that their country
might be snved. When the sun shall be
shorn of its rays md the moon shall
vanish forcver-when the heavens shall
be rolled together rs scroll and the
dread angel of the Apocalypse, stand
ing on land and sea, shall say that time
shall be no lnOre,-stin then will the
glory of these MINES be as the. imper-
ishable adainant. But not until a re-
union shall be effected in n better world
where mothers who are widows, and
children who are fatherless, and hearts
which are tenantless of friends, shall
once more meet with the fond objects
of their loYe,-not until then will any
words of sympathy that YOU or can
express, or any gratitude that nation
can give, become u balm that will soothe
the offerings or fill the aching void in
the families, relatives and friends OIL
the honored ones 1 havenamed. Verify
their names are written upon a roll
that is far more imperishabIe and full
of glory than any that earth can give;
and their spirits now walk upon the
streets of n golden city whose palaces |
will protect them, FREQ from the march,
bivounc and battle, in peace and happi-
ness foreverI ,a} ilti |
