an epitome of which is here presented:
One night last week two valuable ho ses
were stolen from Mr. Henry Utzinger, of
Brady township, near the Jefferson line.
A man named James Lee, was arrested
and lodged in our county jail, on Tuesday
night, May 2lst, on charge of having
stolen gun from John Hoover, ir., of Bra
dy township 1t is believed that he also
has some knowledge of the stealing of Mr.
Utzinger's horses
On Tuesday night, May 21st, some thieves
broke into Mr.. McBride's spring house, in
Lawrence township, and carried off two
crooks of apple butter, two crooks of lard,
and some other articles. A lot of clothes,
which had just been washed and hung out
to dry, were also taken the same night, per-
haps by the same party.
Some malicious villiain on the night of
Tuesday, May Dist, entered the carriage
house of Mr. George w Gearhart, in this
borough, and cut the aprons off several of
his carriages and .buggies. 1t is supposed
TO have been the work of the thieves who
broke into and robbed Mrs Welsh's store,
on the same night-the aprons, no doubt,
being used as a covering to protect the
stolen goods from injury by the rain.
A man named David Henderson, purport-
ing to hail from Pittsburg, was arrested
just as he was going out of this borough on
Wednesday morning, May odd on suspicion
of being concerned in the robbery of Mrs.
WelShs store-an account of which we
published last week. Some ill-shaped foot
prints in the garden, in the rear of the store
led to his arrest-he having crippled foot.
After hearing before Justice Shugart he
was committed to jail to await a trial
y man named John Appleton, who
had been boarding at Mr.. Peters, in Brad
ford township, was arrested and lodged in
Jail, on Wednesday, May 22d, for beating
and abusing COW belonging to Mr. Robert
Lansberry, of Bradford township The
maltreating Of dumb brute, for revenge, is
an act which should subject the perpetrator
to the severest penalty of the law.
On Thursday, May, 23d, John Stevens
was arrested at Phillpsburg and brought to
this place, and lodged in jail, on charge of
being one of the thieves who stole two horses
from Henry Utzinger, in Brady township,
a regular organized gang of horse thieves in
this county at present, and it is to be hoped
they may all be arrested and punished.
An alleged accomplice of Stevens, named
John Barber, was also arrested at Philips
burg. on Friday, Nav 24th, and brought
here and lodged in jail, on the charge Of
having assisted in stealing Mr.. Utzinger's
horses alluded to above.
George Robins. his wife and son, residing
about one mile above Curwensville, were
arrested on Friday, May oath, and brought
to this place, charged with having shot two
hogs belonging to James y. Bloom, Esq,
of Pike township, and for threatening to
kill Mr, BIS cattle. After hearing before
Justice Shugart, they were released on bail
for their appearance at court.
Frederick Korb hotel keeper in Brady
township, had hearing on Friday, May
24th, on charge of concealng stolen goods.
and entered bail for his appearance at the
Jefferson county court 1t seems that some
harness and robe were stolen in Jefferson
county, and left at Korb's house for safe
keeping by Barber and Lee, now confined
in our Jail, but whether Korb knew of their
being stolen is not apparent-the owner Of
the articles not even knowing, for several
days of his loss.
James Huff and young man named
Fisher, were arrested on Friday, May oath,
for an assault with stones upon George B.
Logan, of Lawrence township They en-
tered bail for their appearance at the next
term of our courts.
