Horses Stolen.

On Friday night last, some scoundrel
visited the field Of Mr.. Berj. F. Flem-
ing, about two miles from Fairmont on
the Fairmont and Clarksburg turnpike,
and appropriated a valuable horse
without go much as returning a vote oil
thanks. The same night a new saddle
was distracted from the stable Of Mr.
B. D. Fleming, on the same turnpike,
four miles from town. Another valu-
able horse was running in the field with
the (now) stolen animal, but it was not
molested.
We learn that two horses were stolen
from a neighborhood on Bingamon, a
few nights previous to the occurrence
above noted.
We warn our citizens TO be on the
alert. A gang of cut-throat, horse
tbieving desperadoes were lately run
out of Wetzel county, by a sel appoint
ed vigilance committee, and the indica'
tious are that the counties bordering on
Wetzel will now have to suffer from
their depredations. Farmers, look well
to YOUR stables; if you catch a man
stealing your horse, and you are sure o1
his object, "shoot him on the spot

Importation Ffauds.

Within the last few months the
United States Government has brought
suits against number ofprominent bus
mess houses in this city, claiming heavy
damages for alleged frauds in importa-
ton Of goods. In most of the heavy
cases the accused firms compromised
the difficulty by the payment OF heavy
penalties. Three Of the quits brought
are against the largest importers OF
sugars, and all based on charges eimi-
lar to each other. From one Of these
houses the government claimed about
$4,000, but the firm effected a com
promise by the payment Of $4,000.
A charge OF fraud is brought against
an old and prominent firm.of sugar
importers. and to keep, the case from
coming to a trial this house was will
ing to pay the government $4,000.

Ahc ~ Il. SehtFdl tallrOHU case.
Mr.. Fairchild, attorney. and Mr..
Worcester, treasurer, of the New York
Central railroad, had an interview with
Commissioner Douglass to-day, in order
to make some arrangement in reference
to their petition filed in a suit to recov-
er the railroad script dividend.
1t tappears the law provides that no
suit can be entered to recover monies
from the Revenue Department until
there has been an absolute refusal to
refund. In the case of this company
the Commissioner never yet refused to
refund, but merely to abate. Under
this condition OF affairs this company
find it necessary to have Douglass make
such refusal in order to effect some ar
rangements with the United States
Prosecuting Attorney, to amend their
petition; otherwise the suit already
brought falls to the ground.

A Very Lively Contest
Is now going on in the Democratic par
ty in Maryland, for the succession to
the seat of Senator Hamilton, whose
term expires on the 4th OF March, 1875
The vacancy will be filled by the Leg
islature to be chosen this fall. The
candidates are Senator Hamilton, Con-
gresham Swami, of Baltimore; and
Hon. Pinckney Whyte, the present Gov
ernor OF the State. Senator Hamilton
though an able orator and lawyer, is
moi regarded as very prominent in the
race. In case however, it be detsrmin'
ed to allot the next Governor to the
western part of the State, it is probable
that Mr.. Hamilton will be nominated
for the position. The election for Gov
ernor will come off in the fall OF 1875.
The struggle for the Senatorship is
practically between Governor Whyte
and Ex-Governor Swami. Mr.. Whyte
has already secured large majority
OF the Conservative members OF the leg
islature nominated yesterday in Balti-
more, and if the Democrats carry the
legislature there is little doubt OF his
election to the Senate. He is popular
with the masses, and has very decided
ly the inside track in western Mary
land. 1t is feared, however, that owing
to dissentions in the Democratic party
in Maryland there is some doubt of the
Democrats obtaining majority in the
legislature, though they have a large
popular majority in the State. If the
Republicans should by any possibility
carry the legislature, Postmaster Gene
raj Creswell, by the use Of the federal
patronage, will have himself returned
to the Senate. This is the present OBJ.
iect OF his ambition, and he has cleaned
out all the opposition in his own party

Love Victorious.

For a year or two past Thomas Nc
Teddy has been waiting upon girl whose
parents live on Tenth street. The girls
parents have endeavored to prevent the
match, and the lovers arranged to slip
quietly off to clergyman yesterday fore
noon and get married. Ten O'Clock was
the hour set, and Thomas was seen hang
ing around the corner of Michigan ave
nue. and Tenth street, having five-dollar
bill for the preacher and hard-looking
fist for the man who should cross his
path. The girl made an excuse to go out
and do some shopping, but as she left the
house her mother became suspicious and
called in the father, who was hoeing cab
bages. They tracked the damsel down TO
the avenue and saw her join Thomas,
when they rushed after her. The lovers
ran over behind Woodbridge Grove, and
being overtaken there McLeddy stopped
and put Grape band under his father-in-
laws eyes, while the girl pulled her
mothers hair and used her sharp nails.
1t was rather more than the old couple
could stand, and while they were promis-
cuously scattered around on the grass
Thomas and his fair one boarded street
car and made their escape and were prob
ably legally and lawfully married before
high twelve. Several neighbors saw the
affair but they were like the woman
whose husband was tackled by bear

Carving a Turkey.

THERE is nothing, says Max Adeler,
young unmarried man likes better than
to 90 to dinner at the house of friend
and to be asked to carve the turkey He
never carved a turkey in his life, and with
an old maid on one side of him, watching
him closely, and on the other side a fair
girl for whom he has tenderness he
feels embarrassed when he begins. First
he pushes the knife down toward one OF
the thigh joints. He can't find the joint,
and he plunges the knife around in
search of it until he makes mince-meat
out of one whole quarter of the fowl.
Then he sharpens his knife, and tackles it
again. At last, while making terrific
dig, he hits the joint suddenly, and the
leg fles into the maiden lady's lap, while
her dress-tront is covered with a shower
of stuffing. Then he goes for the other
leg, and when the young lady tells him he
looks warm, the weather seems to him
suddenly to become AGO degrees warmer.
This leg he finally pulls loose with his
fingers. He lays it on the edge of the
plate, and while he is hacking at the
wing he gradually pushes the leg over on
the clean table-cloth, and when he picks
it up it slips from his hand into the gravy
dish and splashes the gravy around for
SIX square ydruS. just as nc HAS lllduc
up his mind that the turkey has no joints
to its wings, the host asks him if he thinks
the Indians can really be civilized. The
girl next to him laughs, and he says he
will explain his views upon the subject
after dinner. Then he sops his brow with
the handkerchief and presses the turkey
so hard with his fork that it slides off the
dish and upsets goblet of water on the
girl next to him. Nearly frantic, he
gouges away again at the wings, gets them
off in mutiated condition, and digs into
the breast. Before he can cut any off, the
host asks him why he don't help out the
turkey.
Bewildered, he puts both legs on a plate
and hands them to the maiden lady, and
then helps the young girl to plateful of
stuffing, and while taking her plate in
return knocks over the gravyboat. Then
he sits down with the calmness of despair
and fans himself with a napkin, while the
servant girl clears up and takes the turkey
to the other end of the table He doesn't
discuss the Indian question that day. He
goes home right after dinner and spends
the night trying to decide whether to COM
nit suicide or to take lessons in carving.

Value Of TOads in the Garden.

WE encourage the harmless toads 10
linger about our cabbage and other vege-
tables as they devour every insect tnat
comes within their reach. Toads thus far
this season have kept our squashes and
cabbage plants as free from all insects as
the plants can be kept. Instead OF being
hateful and repulsive animals, toads are
the most innocent creatures that ever ate
unfortunately anything that had lie
that they could swallow. They are worth
more per head to the horticulturist than
chickens, even allowing that chickens did
not scratch.
DR.. Harris reports an interesting expert
ment with toad in its efforts to swallow
squash bugs, which emit an odor exceed
ingly offensive. Dr. Harris supposed the
odor of the squash bug (corsus trtstss)
would protect il from the toad; and TO
test the matter he offered one 10 a grave
looking bufo under cabbage. lie selzed
it eagerly, but spit it out instantly, reared
up on his hind legs and put his front feet
on top of his head for an instant, as II IN
pain, and then disappeared across the
garden in series of the greatest leaps

bitter. Not satisfied with this, DR.. Harris
hunted up another toad, which lived

but with wide, sensible soles, and low,
broad heels. The way has already been
opened by the introduction, this season,
of these desirable alterations into the low
shoes called indifferently "CrOquet slip
pcrs," "Oxford ties" Newport ties"
and variety of other names. These are
to be followed in the autumn by buttoned
walking boots OF kid and goatskin, hav-
ing square toes with rounded corners,
broad soles-the widening from toe to
joint being scarcely perceptible,- and
low heels, not more than half the height
of the absurd French ones. But it must
not be supposed that, in thus obtaining
comfort, good looks are abandoned. Any
body who has worn these ease-giving
shoes knows that they are vastly more
becoming than the strictly Partisan gaiter.
The breadth of sole, permitting a cores
ponding narrOwness of the upper leather,
so sustains the foot that, even in an old
boot, it is not inclined to spread, as it
must where the upper is wide, and the
sole slender. A well shaped foot, though
it be large, is beatiful and nisshapen
foot, as well as Cinderella's, is ugly. No
foot can remain beautiful where the toes
are unnaturally cramped, or when the
entire weight of the body is thrown on
the toes by exaggerated heels.
Beyond this important change in form,
there will be but little difference in the
new fall boots. Buttoned CATERS are such
decided favorites that it is unlikely they
will be displaced before another spring,
though balmoral boots, lacing on top, and
kid CATERS, lacing on the inside, will be
somewhat worn by those who prefer nov
city to grace.--"Home and Society,"" Serb

Dark Stables.

THERE are too many miserably dark
horse stables, when it is SO well known
that light exercises a most important and
salutary influence on the whole animal as
well as vegetable kingdom. We are too
apt to think that any place will do for
stable that is sufficiently dry, though the
only opening for the admission of light
be the entering door. This is all wrong.
The eye of the horse is an exceedingly
sensitive organ, and always suffers from
long continued darkness, as when, from
partial sickness or disusc, he is kept a
longer time than usual within doors, or in
stables where the broad light of day is ex-
cluded.
Most diseases to which the animal is
subject are more virulent in dark stables
than where full flood of light can be adj
mitted Darkness is said to favor rest
and sleep, and this is doubtless true, but
it can be of no possible benefit to the ami
NAL during those long hours of wakeful
incarceration to which it is sometimes
subjected, unless it be to enable the jockey
to take advantage of the effects. A horse
brought from a dark stable into the glare
of the sunlight is confused and startled
from the imperfect vision of surrounding
objects, and by his high stepping anc un-
certain action, impresses the novice with
an idea of his spirit and action.
Even though fat may be induced by
darkness, it is not conducive to muscular
strength; for muscles deprived Of the
stimulus of light, become flaccid, and the
apparent high condition induced by this
means is soon lost by active excrtion.
Men whose employments confine them to
pOorly-lightcd apartments soon lose the
color and the energy of full health, and
the same results follow similar treatment
of animals. Light and thorough ventila-
ton should be the governing points in the
mails, and particularly for the horse.-ia-
