PickpOckets and How They are
Caught.

From the Bostea Transcript
A detection occurred in the Eistern
railroad station on Wednesday, where
Detectives LittleGeld and Plnkham
sighted three suspicious objects moving
in dense crowd preparing to depart By
an evening train. The officers watched
their game some time without discover
ing any act that would warrant their ar
rest But as the train was on the eve OF
starting, grand rush was made for car
platform, and the slight fingers" were
in it. Closely following one Of them into
the car, Mr.. Littlefield discerned Sc
cretive motion on the part of one Of the
supposed thieves as he took his seat.
The detective at once proceeded to seat
himself beside the fellow, who motloned
him back, with the remark that the seat
was engaged for friend. " sea that
it is," sneered Mr.. Littleield, and with
quick motion he probed with his hand
the cushioned crevice between the seat
and its back, and pulled out well-h led
wallet. Taking the fellow into custody,
after some resistance, he announced to
the passengers that one OF them had been
plucked. A general feeling of pockets
pervsded the animated freight, and
loud voice describing wallet that had
been lost was soon heard. "Follow me
to headquarters" responded the officer,
and with his culprit he moved out of the
conveyance. His associate subsequently
arrested one of the pals" and together
the party left the depot, with reflections
on the part of the captors and captlves
that can better be imagined than de-
scribed.
Arriving in the office, the loser of the
wallet at once identified his property
value $l90-and il was restored TO him.
The thieves gave names-John Matthews,
who is also known as "Joe Keyser, and
William +. Bates-and search OF their
clothing was begun. Currency and bills
to the amount of $l63 was found upon
their persons, and to the Chief Constable
il looked swaggish," to use a profes-
sional term.
The "P. Ps." were locked up, and
Constable Jones advertised for an owner
of the booty. A Beverly gentleman an
swered the notice, and identified fifty
dollar greenback Of the amount, together
with a marked cent that he had long car
ried as a memento of q family event. He,
too, had been hustled in part of the
same station, where, at the time, there
appeared to be ample room for all to pass
without inconvenience.
One of the fellows bumped him on the
right, another on the left, and the third
ran against him in front. He felt in
suited but suspected nothing more until
he was well away from town in car,
The amount he had lost corresponded
nearly with that taken from the prisoners,
| and it was restored.

Ships lay for many months at so much de-

From the Akron (0hio) Bsacon.I
On Friday last we visited the premises
Of Mr.. A. j. Griffin, in Copiey, for the
purpose of seeing the two-legged colt, OF
which we made mention two weeks ago.
The colt in question was foaled on the
first day of June, lacking, consequently,
three days Of being three weeks old at
the time of our visit. Mr.. Griffin pur-.
chased the animal from Mr.. Plum, OF
Sharon, for fifteen dollars. On getting
the colt home, she was seon taught to
drink cows milk, upon which she seems
to be thriving nicely. 1t is a finely
formed animal in every respect, except
ING that there is not even the semblance
of forward legs. Upon one side is felt a
cartllsginous substance, under the skin,
resembling shoulder blade, but upon
the other side there is smooth rsund-
ing off of the withers, without any indi-
cation of shoulder blade at all. Its
color is nearly a jet black, with q small
white spot in the forehead, the after por-
ton of The back or rump being also beau
tifully spotted with white. Mr.. Griffin
sought to enable the colt to walk, by ad-
iusting a support for the breast, a soft
leather sling strapped over the back and
neck, and supported upon small wheels;
but, as if to show her contemptfor all srti-
fciaI contrivances, upon the machine be-
ing started she Strengthened herself up
lifting the machine from the ground and
walking off with it upon her two legs.
When we arrived ut Mr.. G.'s place In the
middle of the day, the sun shining very
warm, the colt was lying upon the grass,
| upder temporary awning, about two
rods frem the barn, where she is usually
kent. Seeming to be somewhat annoyed
by the flies and the heat, Mr.. q. con-
cluded to return her to the barn. Placing
| the left arm uround the neck, and the
right hand under the launches OF the
colt. he assisted her to rise, when, with
head and body erect, like well trained
circus horse, she boldly struck out. un
aided and slose, for the barn, walking
almost to the door, and on slightly up
hill grade, before stopping. Gently
easing her down, he permitted her to res
a moment, and then helped her up again
when she entered the barn and walked
the length of the floor, some twenty-five
or thirty feet further.
This singular creature seems to b
very trsctable indeed, and will, we doub
not, as it gains strength, be able, by lh'
aid of It's nose, to raise itself upon III
feet, and to travel entirely upon its owl
hook; while is exhibits so great a degre'
of Intelligence that judicious course o
training will probably develop 1t into Q
trick aud show horse Of extraordinary
| magniiude.
