HORSE STEALING.
Two OF the Thieves Captured
and one Shot.

Two OF the Thieves Captured
and one Shot.
For some time past a band of horse
thieves have been successfully plying
their nelarious trade between Illioois
and Tennessee, having a direct line Of
communication from Paris, Tenn, to
Metropolis, Ill. Within the past year
they have succeeded in stealing aud
carrying off large number of horses
and mules besides committing other
depredstions. They have at last, how
ever, come to grief as the sequel will
will show. Last week they stole four
horses and mules from parties residing
near Paris, Tenn. Having suffered
from their repeated depredations, tho
citizens of that vicinity determined upon
war Of determination, therefore. they
armed themselves ard started in pursuit
of the thieves, overtaking them near
Boydsville, little village on the State
line, where fight took place between
the pursued 1our in number) and pur-
suers, and resulted in the defeat and cap
ture of the thieves, one only escaping.
Sharp firing was engaged in by both
sides, none of the citigens. hoyeFer 70
ceived any iDjuries. One of the robbers
was shot and seriously wounded, and tho
other two captured. They succeeded in
recovering all the stolen property except
valuable mule, which was carried of
by the escaping robber.
1t is to be hoped this will put stop
to their "fun" in that part of the coun-
try.-Nayfield Democrat

Southern Lille Policies.

An important decision has been rem
dered by Judge Blatchford. in New
York, 10 suit growing out of our late
civil war, brought by Peter Hamilton, as
the executor of Duke w. Goodman, Of
Alabama, against the New York Mutual
Life Insurance Company, the points Of
which are stated as follows
The action is brought to recover s5..
900 on life insurance policy issued to
Mr. Goodman on the 9th of March
1853 It was claimed by the defence
that the policy ceased to exist on account
of the non payment of the annual pre-
MUM on March 2, 1862, and that the
previous payments were forfeited to the
defendants The plaintiffs contended
that the defendants. by withdrawing all
of their agencies from Alabama, where
Goodman resided. in March, 1861, pre-
vented the payment by him Of his sBnu
al premiums on the policy, and thereby
waived such payments. all of which be
came due after the / 9Th Of August. 1861.
the act of the defendants having prevent
ed the payments in Alabama. aud the
effect of the war being TO make such
payments in New York by Goodman un-
lawful. The Judge decided that the OBJ
legation of the company was not dissolv
ed by the war, which necessarily resulted
in interruptiDg communication with the
South. Judge Blatchford concluded
that he had carefully considered al the
views urged by the defendants, aud that
he was entirely satisfied that the plaintiff
was entitled to decree with costs. There
is ordered reference before master to
take and state an account of the amount
due on the policy. with interest, such an
amount to be computed On the basis be
fore stated, and the defendants to be al
lowed credit for the unpaid annual pre-
miums."

Grand Republican Rally.

Col. Chas r. Gill, addressed large
gathering of Republicans and Demo
crate, at Rablin Hall, last Tuesday ev-
enins. The Col, made brief review
of the many charges brought against
Pres. Grant, resuting them success
fully by statcment of facts, that left
no doubt in the minds Of the candid
portion Of the audience ofthe utter un-
truthfulncss Of the statements uttered
with so much vindictycncss by the
opposition. Nepotistn the French Ar
ms question, San Domingo, the Ala
bama claims settlem mt etc. etc, were
all touched upon in wen Of humor
and argument that held the audience
for an hour and half Mr. Greeley
was dissected, as also were his COM
peers and supporters, in i manner
that revealed the untenablncss Of their
positions Shurz and Trumbell were
shown up in their true light, as were a
score OF other liberal lights whose bril-
Iiancy la, faded to a pale sickeuing
moonshine.
The speaker was greeted with cheers
aud applause, that made the Hall ring.
At the close of the meeting, three
ronsing cheers were given for Ora t
and Wilson, and three more for the
speaker, three lur McDill our canli-
date for Congress, and three for Mr.
Scott, our candidate for State Sena-
tor. The hcart,,n2ss with which the
cheers were given attest the popular
feeling for Grant as against Mr.. Gree
ley.
The National flag, bearing the
names of Grant and Wilson was con
spieuous in the Hall, and all felt that
it was good to be present to hear the
gallant colonel speak in behalf OF
his old general, the second saviour
Of his country, and the coming Presi-
dent Of the great Republic.
