Egg~ Ii will be seen from the following ex-
tract from the Richmond Enquirer, that Joliet
and Alley, the notorious horse thieves that
have been infesting this section, have been
recaptared at Richmond, Virginia. They will
PROBABLY remain there for the next FIVE or six
years
NoToR1oUs HORSE THIEVES AND CoNvIcTs
ARRESTED Saturday evening last special
officer James Tyler and Detective Knox ar
rested one William Joliet, alias Carson, alias
Breeder, on the charge of horse stealing and
Jail breaking in Page county, Va. Joliet was
arrested some time since, and confined in
Page county Jail, for stealing several horses
in that and adjoining counties, and tried,
convicted, and sentenced to six years impri-
sonment in the State penetentiary. Before
the Sheriff of Page county could make his ar
engagements TO bring him here, he, in compa-
ny with another desperate named Alley, who
was confined on a similar charge, broke Jail
and stole two valuable horses from Mr.. Mena
fee, of Warren county, and made their way to
this city After arriving here, and being
without means, Joliet disposed of the Two
horses, selling one to Mr.. John Weaherford,
in the nelghborheod of Richmond, and ex-
changing the other with Mr.. Foster. who
lives near the Hermitage Fair Grounds, for
very fine mule.
He then came to town and sold the mule to
one Charles Logan, ON Bakers alley, for $35.
Officers Tylor and Knox were en- the track
of the man for several days, and succeeded
in arrested him at Logan's house on Saturday
evening last. He protested his innocence,
saying he was not the man. But Tyler ard
Knox were too old in the business to be de-
ceived-consequenily be was locked up for
safe keeping at the first police station. The
Sheriff of Page county has been notified of his
arrest as well as the owner of the horses of
their recovery. r. soq.a j 1oof ".
Edwin Alley, alias Graves, was also ar
rested night before last at Carbon Hill Pits,
in Chesterfield county, by Officers Tyler and
Knox, and brought to this city. He was lock-
ed up at the First Ward station house. The
two will be kept here until the Sheriff of Page
county comes down with proper papers to turn
them over to Wardwell.

T EFT US PROTECT OURSELVES THE
l 4 physical structure of the human being is
vulnerable everywhere. Our bodies endowed
by nature with a certain negative power, which
protects them, to some extent, from unWholesome
influences; but this protection is imperfect, and
cannot be safely relied on in unhealthy regions,
or under circumstances of more than ordinary
danger. Therefore, it is wisdom; it is prudence;
it is common sense to provide against such con-
tngencies, by taking antidote in advance; In
other words, by fortfying the system with HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERS-the most
complete protective against the epidemic and en-
demic maladies that has ever been administered
in any codntry. As remedy for dyspepsia,
there is no medicine that will compare with it.
Whoever suffers the pangs of indigestion, any
where on the face of the earth where HostetteI's
Stomach Bitters can be procured, does so volun-
tarily; for, as surely truth exists, this invalua
BILE tonic and Alternative would restore his disor-
dered stomach TO healthy condition To the
nervous it is also especially recommended, and in
cases of confirmed constipation it also affords
speedy and permanent
In all cases of fever and ague the Bitter is more
potent tn an any amount of outline, while the
most dangerous of bilious fever Yield to its
wonderful properties. Those who have tried the
medicine will never use another for any Of the
ailments which the Hostetter Bitters processes to
subdue. To those who have not made the eX-
pertinent we cordially recommend an early appli-
cation to the 3itters whenever they are stricken
by disease of the digestive organs. oct
