HORSE THIEVES AT WoRK.-The Concord
IN. H. Monitor says horse thieves are at work
in Rockingham and Strafford counties On
Thursday night, the 22d inst, dark roam
horse, belonging to DR.. John w. Chase of
Dedham. Mass, was stolen from pasture be-
tween Nottingham and Raymond. The same
thieves went to Nottingham Square, and on
their way stole sharness from John Simpson,
Esq. They then went toward Lee and stole q
wagon from Albert Fernald, Esq, and from
there passed on to Lee Hill, where they euter-
ed the barn of Nicholas d. Meserve and stole
head-stal and confiex reins. From there
they went TO the residence of Jerep,iah Smith
and took from the carriage house an elegant
buggy wagon, into which they harnessed their
horse and left the first wagon stolen by the
road. A reward OF $500 has been offered by
Hon. Jeremiah Smith and DIR. Chase for the
conviction of the thief or thieves, and the re-
covery of the property.

NEW WAY OF SETTLING DOMESTIC Diff
cULTIEs. We find in an exchange the follow
ing account of the way they settle cases in
Michigan which in other places are not usa-
ally adjusted without the use of bowie-kniyes
and gunpowder:
The town of Hillsdale, in Michigan. has re
Gently enjoyed a scene of hysterical interest,
which affords singular mixture of French sem
timentalty and Yankee mysticism. The Rev,
Il. II. Whipple, who bears the honorable ii
ties OF clergyman, father of family, aud Pro-
lessor of Bellies Lettres la the College at Hills
dale, has been relieving the monotony of his
collegiate and sacerdotal functions by an init
macy with the wife of one of his Deacons, to
whose honorable name we will give no fur
ther publicity. OF course, the iiaison could
not long be hidden in a little town where
there are tired eyes at every window and
where every visit is carefully observed and
estimated by neighbors across the way. Cir
cumstances favored the busy research of ma
licious eyes; the relations between the Parson
and the Deacons wife became the subject of
remark, and the secret sin seemed intolerable
to the Professor when set in the light of bis
townsmans countenances. So one Sunday
evening, after services were over he asked
number OF the prominent church members to
remain, and read to them confession which
Wouu nave Seen Impossible 10 any man not
crazed with morbid vanity and, a constant
brooding over his own mental processes. He
acknowledged bis intimacy with the unfortun-
ate lady he misled, and said he made this con-
iession in the interest of his imperiled saliva
tiOn. He then invited three of his parishion-
ers to go with him to the house of the outrag-
ed Deacon, and there repeated the humiliai-
ing confession. The injured husband received
the avowal with Christian equanimity. The
whole company Joined in prayer. The wrong
er and the wronged shook hands in token Of
forgiveness, and the next morning the Dea-
con and his wife left Hillsdae. The penitent
Professor remains, and receives a large share
OF public sympathy for his humble truthful
ness.

Under this head, the New York Commer-
ciai Adcertiser, not very radical Republican
paper, gives utterance to some sentiments Is
hat are certainly worth remembering:
The weak side of the American people Is to
forget and forgive. 1t is true these are humane
virtues. Just now we are exhibiting them in
marked manner in regard to the late G. L.
Valiandigham. Our people seem TO forget
tnat during our civil war he was almost as
malignant traitor as d rebel in arms. We
nave only to read his own writings to know
that he desired the success of the rebel arms
lor MS outspoken treason he was arrested,
I9hVicted, and sent through the rebel lines.
nc liaue no concealment of his sympathy
WIN treason. In order that the South should
win, ne was willing to have the Union perish.
ne was Us much traitor as jeff Davis.
rms is descratlng the grave" will cry some
people OF morality. 1T is heartless to disturb
the ashes of the dead, cries another patriotic
hypOcrite. Death, we know, is expected to
covera multitude OF lsins, and Vallandigham
ought to be forgiven as repenting sinner.
That great and good man, Chief Justice
Chase, with one eve on the White House
and the other on the grave, will be shocked at
the idea OF calling Vallandigham traitor.
He believed him TO be one whe1 a member
OF Lincolns Cabinet, and assented TO the sem
tence that exiled him from Ohio, He did not
then expect Vallandigham's aid to secure him
the nomination for President. The other
day when he did desire his aid he ''soft-saw-
dered" him with Courageous patriot Moses
come to lead his party out of Egyptian dark
ness-"God bless you for it." This sort of
political cant is not what should be taught to
the young men of America. When Chief
justice canonizes treason, political morality
is at very low ebb.
