calls for an expression of pity. What may or

death. 1t behooves then that somebody consider
it and adopt some way of ridding US Of not only
a nuisance, but future dread. Now is the time

Horse Thieves.

On Saturday afternoon last, three men
rode through Austintown from the North
quite furiously, and attracted considerable
attention. A gentleman about mounting his
horse for home, which lay in the direction
the men were travelling, galloped OF after
them, until he reached his barn, the men
still running their horses. They turned from
the Garfield road towards Cornersburg, and
after travelling a few miles, two boys on their
way to pasture, seeing the ''John Glipin''
speed, followed owed on as fast as their horses
could travel. When near to Mr.. HENRY
WEHR's, in Cornersburg, the men saw sew
eral farmers in the road and one got from
his horse and let down a bar and three rode
into the woods. The farmers, supposlng
they were sheep buyers, paid o-attention to
them, but on Sunday morning Mr.. Wehr
went TO the woods and toundt the three horses
with the saddles on their backs, but nc ri
ders. The fact flashed upon his mind that
the men were horse thieves, and fled from
the boys, suppOsing they were officers follow
ing them. The horses a-e pretty well stiff
fened by hard riding. They were taken 10
Mr.. WIS barn and locked up. Two ofthem are
chestnut colored mares, and the other a light
bay horse. Nothing has since been seen of
the thieves.
Since the above was in type, we have re-
ceived a circular from the Sheriff of Sum-
NIT county, stating that the horses were
stolen from Bath township, On the night of
the 18th inst, and offers a reward of SIS for
the recovery of the horses. w. G. MOORE,
Esq, of Youngstown, took the horses to

passed, which contains no provision as to the time
when it shall take effect, shall take effect on the
first day of May next after its passage" The cit

last summer. Some have formed themselves into
a club for the purpose of taking up all animals
running at large in violation Of said law, and we
wish that the citizens of other townships would do
the same.
The people of the Western Reserve tried for
more than ten years to get such a law passed, but
failed in consequence Of the opposition from the
other portions Of that State. And now that we
