Of this District to Capt. McKelyey, last
Saturday morning, and is now a private

some ten or twelve horses. Eight Of
these horses have been claimed and re-
stored to their owners, in the immediate
vicinity of Wyoming. The circumstan-
ccs are very suspicious and the parties
have been bound over to appear at next
December term Of Court"

by cutting his own throat. Neighbors
rescued the man and saved part of the
remains of the woman before they were
consumed.
The keokuk Coasstituti0n reports the
arrest few days since of horse thief a.
the railroad depot at Eddyville, who
after the handouts We're placed on his
wrists, obtained permission to take what
he called ague medicine which he had in
his pocket. After swallowing the liquid,
which proved to be strychnine, he re-
fused remedies which might have expell-
ed the poison, and he died in about half
an hour in the greatest agony. He had
stated to the officer that he had served
one term in the penitentiary and was de-
termined not to serve another. H.
The people Of the United States said
that there should be no more slavery
No more there Is. They are now saying
that all men regardless of color shall have
the right to vote. They have said It
loudly, and every time they speak they
