Complicated Odse.-A singular and compli-
Gated case came 10 light last week. II seems
that MIR. Fox, of Delaware. In order 10
make himself safe in some property he had
under execution, brought 10 this county two
horses, pair Of mu.es and carriage
Where he disposed of the mules we have
not been appiised. The carriage he traded
to Mr.. Pleasanton, near Church Hill, for
cattle, and the two horses with Mr.. ]. o.,
Rasin, Of this town, for two others her ses.
One Of the hOrtes he obtained from Mr..
Rasin lie traded 10 Mr.. II. nj. Hopkins for
another horse, and with these started home.
When a few miles above Church Hill he met
and traded both horses 10 Mr.. Wilmington
for two other horses. II subsequently tu n
ed out that Mr.. John Bewley, of Smyrna,
held prior execution against the Whole
property This gentlemen with an officer
came over on Saturday and claimed his
property. Mr.. Rasn gave up the horses
huu M IithshutOn lub CuIiihBes MI.
RaSin then took Possession Of the horses
held by Mr. Hopkins aud replevied the one
held by MIR. Wilmington. Mr.. Hopkins
subsequently replevied his horses, and Mt.
Pleasanton put off TO Delaware after his
cattle. Here tue case rests at present. Ga
Friday Messrs. Rasin and Hopkins are to
determine before magistrate who own the
horses in dispute between them, and Mr.
Wilmington will doubtless find ont in a sim
liar way who owns the horse in dispute be-
tween them. Fox is fraud, and ought to
be placed In "durauce vile"
P. S. -Messrs Rasin and Hopkins start
ed yesterday ior Delaware to recover the
lost property, with view, we understand,
Of compromising their case, II satisfactory
arrangements can be made -CentreUiI'
