Horses Stoien.-One night last week, two
valuable horses belonging TO Joseph II. Taylor,
living between Kennett Square and t'nionville,
were stolen from the stable. The theft is
blamed on two colored men who got oil the
Philadelphia train al Chadd's Ford, and start
ed on prowl through the country 4 day or
two before the loss. So far neither horses nor
thieves have been heard from.
The Peach Crop.-We are informed by our
friend, William Ii. Hukill, Esq l., that the peach
crop in the neighborhood of Odessa, is almost
total failure-many large orchards not produc-
Or in tnrt ha mil nf IA
The failure is not owing to the weather but to
the curculio or some other insect, as there were
peaches enough to have made fair crop had
they not fallen from the trees before ripening.
1t appears that the young peaches were pune
tured by some enemy, and fell off, thus blasting
the hopes of the growers, and imposing pecuni-
AIRY loss.

Ndrro'cty Escaped Dro,cning.- A boy nam
ed James Powell made a very narrow escape
from drowning, on Monday morning. Young
Powell was about to start out fishing and in
springing from the wharf to the boat he missed
his footing and fell into the water. He made
strenuous but vain efforts to save himself, and
would have drowned had it not been for the
heroic action of another hoy named William
Dugan. Dugan saw Powell fall and fastened
to him, and sprang into the water just in time
to catch the drowning boy as he was sinking
for the third time, bringing him to the shore,
and thus saving his life.
Head Of tie Cldn.-John O'Byrne, Esq, by
descent is by family right the head of the sept
or clan of the O'Byrnes. Amongst the descen-
dants of the Celtic tribes this right of descent
Is rigidly kept up. The sept of the O'Byrnes
were seated near Dublin. The name means
Lord Of the Wood, from Byrne, wood. We
have several other Irish families belonging TO
the old stock, amongst them the Plunketts who
were first Lords and then Barons of the South

ably, than any place in the Union. Some pla-
ces In our midst have particular ancestry, but
we have patrician and plebian, blood of all ma
tionalities, all flowing in undistinguishablc
ccrrents through the same veins.
