 An Expedition after Tieues. On Fri day night last party of ten set out after thieves, by the back wood leading to Ca naan. Meeting at Ferris Hotel they learned that suspicious looking person had talk en breakfast at the hotel, and had purchased cheese, oats, etc, They also ascertained that one of Henry Joyner's cows lad been milked iR the pasture, and that man had been noticed under tree about half mile from the road.
 From the incidents narrated and the sug. gestion of Landlord Ferris and MT. Leroy, President of the Society for the Detec- tion of Horse Thieves" they searched the "Buel Green Woods" Nothing was seen of them going down, but on returning they came upon two men on horseback, who made no response when questioned. In attempting to secure the robbers they escaped under cover of darkness. The two horses were captured, minus the thieves. The next morning some of the party went down to the woods, and found in very se- cluded spot, thicket of pines, where the horses had been picketed. Near the spot a workman's dinner pail was found Tn which milk had been kept. The ears of the gail were wound with thread to prevent any noise in carrying. As the horses are in safe hands and the thieues have been part ly identified, undoubtedly they will leave very quickly this. section of the country.
 Winsted Opera House.-On Thursday evening. July 3rd, and Friday evening, July 4th, the clever actor, Lawrence Bar rett, will play in the new Winsted Opera House. On the first evening Bulwer's play entitled "Richelieu," will be acted. On the second evening the popular play called ''Rosedale" will be produced. MT. Barrett is to be supported by complete dramatic company. The following item, taken from the Cincinnati Enquirer, speaks we'll for him:
 Forest was right-Lawrence Barrett IS the Richelieu of America. We are glad to know that we but echo the universal yer dict at the breakfast table this morning, when we say that the presentation of Rich elieu at the Opera House last night was complete. Before the audience, not Law renee Barrett, but Cardinal Richelieu him. self appeared. ''Thro' plots and counter plots-thro' gain and loss-thro' glory and disgrace" the love of France is the breath that gives the old man life. Linked in his heart with his love for Julie, France reigns supreme. To see the old man and know it is Lawrence Barrett, young man, one can but know he has caught the full inspiration ! Of the thought that Sin the lexicon of youth, which late reserves for a bright manhood, there is no such word as fail, !" and Lawrence Barrett is master in his profession. The support of the leading character was good throughout. Miss Gil- man, as Julie, is gem. MT. Norton, as De Mauprat MT. Southard as De Bradas, MT. Lang as Louis XIII, MT. Pearson as Joseph, and all are good, and received thelr share of the applause.
 We are glad that Cincinnati will have one more opportunity to hear Lawrence Barrett tonight as Elliott Gray, in Rosedale, his favorite character of thousand nights and we are glad to feel certain that all of his last nights audience and all their friends will greet him tonight.
 Signs of Madness Sn Dogs.-It is well understood by medicai scientists, that the madness of dogs hsy period which IS pre- monitorY and harmless. If these periods were generally known. the dogs could be put out of the way before they become dor, hn oe oe Bordeaux has issued the following instruc- tions on this subject:
 A short time, sometimes two days, after madness has seized dog, it creates symp- toms in the animal which it is indispensi- ble to recognize.
 l. There is agitation and restlessness, and the dog turns himself continually in his kennel. If he be at liberty, he goes and comes, and seems to be seeking some thing when he remains motionless, as if waiting; then starts, bites rhe air as if he would catch a fly, and dashes himself, bowling and barking, againt the wall. The voice of his master dissipates these hallu- cinations; the dog obeys, but slowly, with hesitation, as ii with regret.
 2. He does no: try to bite he is gentle, even affectionate, and he eats and drinks, but gnaws the litter, the ends of curtains, the padding of cushions, the coverlids of the beds, the carpets, etc.
 3. By the movement of his paws about the sides of his open mouth one might think he was trying to rid his throat of 8 bone.
 4. His voice undergoes such change that it is impossible not to be struck by it.
 5. The dog begins to fight with other dogs; this is a.decidedlY characteristic sign, if the dog be generally peaceful.
 The three symptoms last mentioned in- dicate an advanced period of disease, and that the dog may become dangerous at any
