came from Red Cloud, who was on
Powder River, with some thirty lodges

village of Cheyennes farther north. He
is exerting beneficial influence among
the Sioux, and hopes to persuade the
Cheyennes aud Araphoes to keep peace
with the whites; he will visit all the
dands of Sioux, using his authority and
influence for peace. Yellow Bear says
! the young braves have listened to Red
Cloud aud their prominent chiefs, aud
that there are no war parties now out.

Saturday, came off as announced. We

Kelly's sorrel, Rail, spoiled the big run

A grand runaway that narrowly es-
capped being attended with fearful con-
sequences, was the greatest event Of the
day. 1t was caused by misunder-
standing whereby the horses for two
different races came upon the track at
once, and meeting, while driving in
opposite directions, each two abreast or
nearly SO, the stallion Amboy collided
with the wheel of Lady Mack's sulkey.
The wheel WAS crushed instantly, and
in another moment the two horses We're
dashing madiy about, drawing their
overturned aud shattered sullseys amid
a scene Of the widest excitement and
confusion. The casualties, after the
smoke Of battle had subsidized, proved to
be bruised ankle for the Lady's driver,

stable, two sulkies completely democrat
lied, aud u chance for the Lady's friends
to claim that she was frightened out of

/ the stealing. The thefts followed one
another in such . way and through
such period that every one became at
length convinced that the depredators
were citizens of our own community;
but suspision, as is frequently the case,
pointed wide Of the mark.
A week ago last Saturday night, quite
. number of sets Of valuable harness
were stolen near Muscatine, and the
thieves traced into this county, spotted
and arrested. The scent was gained
and kept by one Of the robbed, Mr.. r..
NJ. Baker, whose shrewdness and petit
nacity resulted in developing the whole
harness stealing mystery.
The parties thus arrested were Thos.
C. Groom and Stewart Oche!tree. The
former has lived in Muscatine Co., and
has only been resident Of Cedar a
short time. Ocheltree is an old resi-
dent, came In contact with the law years
ago, when he kept doggery in Upton,
and is by no means "a wealthy and
prosperous farmer" That is not the
class from which thieves are often re-
cruited. It seems that the chaps got
drunk after the stealing Saturday night,
and lost out of their wagon the ends gate
aud a box containing, among other
things, q bible with family record.
Groom's name was in the record, and
the end-gate fitted and corresponded
with Ocheltree's wagon. On arraign-
ment, they both waived examination,
and were committed in default of bonds
50, 500 in the case of Groom, and $1,000
for Ocheltree. Eleven sets Of harness
aud some blankets, brides, &c, were
found by the Sheriff hidden in the
woods, but none of those stolen from
this vicinity were among them. 1t APP
pears as if this was only an outpost Of
gang Of rascals, through which all plum
der could be quickly sent off and dis
posed Of, and 1t Is hoped that further
developments may follow this one.

Our position then as respects forage Is be.
coming serious, more especially when it is
considered TO what high price meat has
risen. If in our moist island such arc tho
results, Southern attitudes feel the drouth
still more, and already our neighbors, the
French, who have had to turn their cattle
on their artificial grasses as not worth
cutting, have come upon US for supplies.
A large order of oats has been taken for
France and Dos Cd per quarter has been
paid for black Swedish qualities, which a
short time ago were only worth Is Cd; and
farmers here have been buying what
beans they could lay their hands on from
the exhaustion OF their own stocks. The
peas and beans in bloom are only few in
ches high, and how they can set and pod
well without rain it is difficult to conceive,
and though an occasional shower here and
there has fallen, as in France, all spring
corn will seriously suffer, unless the much
needed rain be shortly vouchsafed. Three
months are yet to be passed before any OF
the new spring corn can come to market,
and the old stocks are pretty well cleared
out; SO our dependence must be entirely
on foreign supplies for this period, at least
in London, while the sacrifices that have
been made in oats might have been greatly
lessened had events been foreseen. As re-
CARDS wheat, there seems no very material
damage here, and in France it is reported
to look well, though it is certainly like get.
ting in fix to be dependent on one crop,
which has but little promise; and, when
We hear that the rye in Europe has suffered
generally from the late frost, we have rea-
son to be thankful that America and South
ern Russia are in some position to fill up
possible void; but the prices in both these
countries have advanced
