On Saturday night last some rasoais
stole a pair Of horses and wagon from
a resident Of Battle Ground, few
miles from Lafayette. They then
rided dry goods and grocery store in
the same place, and loaded the wagon
with the plumber, which included
barrel of sugar and sack OF coffee.
The wagon was taken to lafayette
and unloadea, and then driven. across
the river, where the horses were
turned loose. We regard this as a
theft Of creditable holiness and skill.

OSHKOSH. = The Times records the
drowning of Theodore l. and S. f. Ford,
aged 20 and IL years, sons of Simeon l.
Ford, at Algoma, near Paines mill, on
Thursday evening last Their bodies were
recovered on Saturday forenC on. The cir
cumstances attending the accident are
briefly these: The young men, rather late
in the evening, went to the river to skate.
Their absence during the night seems to
have occasioned no apprehension in the
minds of the parents, and it was not until
the day following, when cap, belonging
to one OF the boys, and torch lamp, which
they had taken with them, was found float
ing in the water, (where the ice had been
cut out to admit the passage of logs to the
MILL that fears were excited as to the
safety OF the missing young men. On ex-
amining the ice, skate tracks were traced
to the opening, and on search being made,
the bodies were found, not more than 20
feet from where they had fallen into the
water.

Plot. 1t is lucid, able document, and
will well repay careful perusal by men of
all shades Of political opinions. Its most
noticeable feature is tie novel suggestion of
the President regarding the payment of the
public debt, and this has called down upon
bis head the maledictions of every ''trooy
loif' bondholder in the country. In the
Senate, when the message was partially
read, Mr.. CONNEss moved to dispense with
its further reading, and, after lively dis
cussion, the Senate adjourned without fin
ishing the message. The harlcquins who
compose majority OF the Senate, how
ever, had not the nerve to maintain the dis
graceful stand they had taken, and on the
following day consented to the reading.
