Horse Thieves About.

The stable of Mr. Andrew F. Mixsell, in
Stroud township, near the Fair Grounds, was
entered on Tuesday night, Sept. 2sth, and a
valuable Horse stolen. The Horse is described
as a " Dark Bay years old, 144 hands high,
both hind feet white, star on the forehead, and
small white spot on the right side, caused by
the rubbing of the saddle
On the same night the Carriage House of
William S. Reese, Esq. in the same neighbor-
hood, was entered and a falling top Wagon
and sett of pretty worn, Silver-plated Harness
stolen. The wagon was made by Whitesell &
Bethlehem, Pa. The Harness
was partly covered with patent leather, leather
fly net. One of the girths had silver plated
buckle and the other black buckle. Two
brides were taken, one with the letters w. s.
r. on the left blind, and the other bride with a
red piece across the forehead. 1t is pretty well
ascertained, that both Horse and Wagon were
stolen by the same thieves. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for the return of the
and the arrest and conviction of the
thieves.

The last desperate artifce of the Cop
perhead leaders to carry Pennsylvania
next week is to issue reams of fresh ma
turalization papers to men who are un-
provided with them, wherever they can
be found. Many thousands of Democratic
voters have been manufactured in Phil
adelphia during the last three weeks by
Senator Wallace's committee. BY the
peculiar process employed it is as easy to
make ten thousand votes as one hundred,
except the manual labor of filling up the
blanks. Philadelphia is now full of row
dies and thieves brought there to vote on
these papers made to order. Wallace and
his assistants have faithfully tried to
make and import enough new votes to
swamp the supposed Republican major
ity in Pennsylvania, but we are yet con
fdept that there are sufficient intelligent
and patriotic men the State to disappoint
their hops.

pistol and snapped it twice in the citi-

What Grant and Colfax will receive,
is indicated by Horace Greely, after full
survey of all the ground to be travelled
over between this and the November elec-
ton. He says:
l. Grant and Colfax will probably re-
ccive the electoral vote of from twenty
four to twenty-eight States.
2. Grant and Colfax will be elected
whether New York votes Republican or
not.
3. Seymour and Blair are sure to carry
two States, are likely to carry six, and
may even ten. But the last figures are
improbable. And now, Friends of Free.

HA- Connecticut voted at her town cleo
tions for town officers, on Monday last, and
in the result are heard mutterings Of Repub-
hcan thunder, most dismal to Democrats,
to burst forth on the Sd of November. Large
Republican gains were made in almost evory
town, and had the election been general in
stead of a local one, brilliant Republican vic
tory would have been the result. But we can
wait. 1t is not long till November Sd, and a
victory which is 30 certain to come will be Just
as acceptable then as now. Vermont has spo-

The way to make Converts.

The Democrats finding the converts from
Republicanism to Democracy so few and far
between, rs not to afford them material for an
item more than once in campaign, have taken
to manufacturing changes out ofthe whole cloth.
And they do it up nicsly too, selecting none
but the best men for the converts. In the
Milford Herald of last week, we find quite a
number of these Manufactured Changes, all
arranged in half column of the paper, and
headed Conversions to Democracy" Among
the changes Republicans, and Democrats else
where than in Pike County, will "smilo' to
find the following paraded:
Gen. John g. Fremont has declared
his intention of voting for Seymour and
Blair
Judge Bingham, until recently one Of
the most influential radicals in Georgia,
COhio], has declared himself for Seymour
and Blair.
Ex-Gov. Curtin supports Seymour and
Blair. He says Seymour saved him and
Pennsylvania in 1868, and he can't 60
back on him now.
1t is said that Governor Fenton, OF
New York, has declared his intention to
vote for Seymour and Blair.
As these gentlemen are all at this time do
ing yeoman's service on the stump, some Of
them in Pennsylvania, for Grant & Colfx,
and have been for the success of these men
from tho beginning, We hardly know wheth-
er to rank the editor of the Herald as a knave
or fool. The Democracy of Pike must be
made of rather soft material to allow itself to
be imposed upon by such deliberate, wilful and
malicious lying as this.

That the soldiers of the Union army

date April Oath, 1868. The soldiers of

Justice William Strong, of the Su,
preme Court Of Pennsylvania, elected in
1857, resigned his seat upon the bench
a few days ago. In his letter of resigna
tion, addressed to Governor Geary, he ex
pressed the wish that Hon. Henry W.
Williams, of Pittsburg, might be appoint
ed to fill the vacancy. Judge Williams,
it will be remembered, was the competitor
of Judge Sharswood, who was elected last
fall by fraudulent voting in LuZerne and
Centre counties and Philadelphia. The
appointment was rendered to Judge w.
by the Governor on Wednesday last, and
on the same day it was accepted. This
charge will have the effect of placing a
majority of Republican Judges on the
bench of the Supreme Court. Judge
Strong was elected as Democrat, but
has been good Union man since the
Rebellion.
