A Horse Thief on His Travels.

Wednesday of last week man drove I'd
with horse and buggy to the American
House on the West Side. He registered
his name as William Harris, and said he
was in search of horse and buggy which
had been stolen from his father. He took
supper and sauntered out. The kind heart
ed landlord, Mr.. Charles Ferry, waited up
for his guest,until the ''wee sma hours" and
his continued absence made Mr.. F. th ink
that Mr.. Harris had considerable Cuisines
With Under Sh erif Giles in endeavorine
to hunt up the stolen property. Next morn
ing at breakfast there was e. s'tacant chair
al the table, although the horse and buggy
were still IN the barn. MIR. Ferry was not
kept long in suspense as to the true status
of William, for soon along came member
of livery firm in GAINESVILLE, claiming the
horse and buggy in the barn as his proper
ty, both having been hired by Harris and
never returned. The claimant stale az a
further link in the chain Of evidence against
the fellow, that he left horse at James
vile which had also been stolen by him,
the owner coming few days after and get
ing it. The GAINESVILLE man drove off with
his horse and buggy, but MFR. Ferry's guest
has not come to breakfast yet, although
Charlie is eagerly looking out for him.

warned o! the extreme danger of the under
taking the tree having been dug around
and the roots cut Unfortunately for him
| he paid no attention to the advice of tho sc
standing by and commenced ascending the
tree. Just as he neared the top the tree
came down with crash and Mr.. NJ with
it, resulting in both his legs being broken al
the ankles in a terrible manner, some O

Cheese in jefferson County for 1878 amour
ted to tribe over 100000 Tbs. This was
worth at least $1,000 By comparison
with the census report OF 1870, and calcu-
lating the increase since (Which has been
quite marked) We estimate the butter pro-
duct for 1873 to have been at least mil
lion and a half of pounds. The average
price for the year was about twenty cents
a pound, which would give value of
100000. 1t will thus be seen that the val
ue of the dairy product Of this connt1y
was at least 100000. This will show the
importance to our people OF fosteri ne an
industry which shows such stro ng and
stable results Union
