Horse Stolen and Recovered Thurs
day morning information reached this
place that during Wednesday night q
bay driving mare had been stolen from
Mr.. A. Foster Mullins stable, in Mt
Holly. The news was at once sent in
all directions, and searchers were on the
alert. On Friday morning Mr.. Thum-
ma, residing on the Wagner's Gap road,
about five miles from this place, brought
horse, answering the description of
Mr.. Mullins animal to the Mansion
House, in this place, and persons there
at once recognized it as the animal
wanted. Careful inquiry concerning the
matter developed the following version,
which is doubtless in main correct. Ed
Vert is young man who is native of
this place, has led wayward youth
and was last week released from the
Bloomfield Jail, where he had been held
on "a charge of stealing horse from his
brother David, of this place, He at
once returned to this county, and on
Thursday morning early two young
men of this place saw him riding a large
bay mare up one of our streets. Sus-
pecting that something was wrong, they
questioned him closely, he asserting, in
answer that the horse belonged to his
father; halfdoubting the story they fol-
lowed him and he tied the horse at the
stable and disappeared. Supposing
everything was as Edward asserted they
left. Subsequently the horse disappear
ed and during the morning Vert APP
peared with it at Mr.. Thumma's resi-
dence, asking if he could warm himself
and get some breakfast, to which an
affirmative answer was given. During
the conversation Mr.. Thumma said he
thought he recognized Vert, who
answered that such thing was proba-
bic, that he was stock dealer and had
frequently passed that way, adding that
he had traded for twenty head of sheep
and some young cattle that the seller
was to deliver there, and, as the latter
had not put in an appearance he would
walk up the road to meet him, to which
his host, suspecting nothing, made no
objection. Edward accordingly went
leaving the mare, and has not yet been

Cumberland COunty.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
One day last week, Mr. Jacob Bricker,
of Hampden township, butchered two
fine hogs during the afternoon and hung
them up in his out kitchen, intending
to dissect them the next morning, but
during the night some unsonsclonable
pilferer stole the pork.
Wednesday morning, Mr. b. Frank
Irwin came to Shippensburg with two
horses in his carriage, and stopping in
front of Altrick IS drug store man pass
ed along the pavement carryinga turkey
which commenced to fiutter, and fright
ened the horses. They broke loose and
ran down Main street at n fearful pace ;
running in Pague & Hockersmith s store
they frightened the horse belonging TO
that firm, causing him to run also. Mr..
Twins carriage was completely demol-
ished. The animals were all captured
before doing any injury to themselves.
The Shippensburg Chronicle says A
great excitement was raised in town Sat
urday evening, when the banks of the
creek which crosses this borough, over
flowed and deluged the whole territory
between Fayette strcctand Fl. G. Angles
residence. The amount of damage, how
ever, was trifling. Long and Johnson
had quite quantity of coal swept away
from their yard at the Company ware
house; the foot bridge at the tannery
was carried down the stream, while the
pavement in front of the old G. V. en-
gine house was entirely washed out; cell
lars were inundated and in many in
stances the contents destroyed. Follow
ing on down the stream no serious dam
age was done until at Middle Spring,
where the paper mill dam and a portion
of the mill itself was torn away The
loss to Mr.. Shryock will amount to over
one thousand dollars. We have not
heard of other damage having been done,
but feel confident that nearly every
bridge over the small streams through
out the county has been swept away.

A Nest of Thieves A Chambersburg
Exchange says: For several months
past a number of petty robberies have
occurred in this vicinity, which despite
the vigilance of our police force have,
until recently, remained mystery as to
whom the parties were. By a seeming
ly trifling circumstance, a clue was given
which has resulted in the arrest of one
of the gang, knowledge as to the
others and the recovery of lot of the
stolen goods.

fully however, to tell her that she was
free to do and go where she pleased, and
could not be legally detained by the con-
stables who brought her to the railroad
station, believing that she had been ar
rested, under and by virtue of the
search warrant issued by Esquire

at A. V. Reineman's Jewelry Store
watch to be repaired. While at work,
on II Mr.. Relneman discovered the name
of John II. Brechbll. Suspecting
something wrong he went to Mr.. Brech-
bills residence, in an adjoining town
ship, and there learned that the watch
had been stolen from him about the mid
die of October. The Chief Of Police was
notified and Gerner arrested, and COM
mitted to jail. Here he was visited by
Esquire Jefi'ries and the police, and after
some talk, made clean breast of his
evil doings, and implicated as his con-
federates in crime three others, whom
he called Charles Brown, - Snyder,
and August September. These the po-
lice are on the lookout for and it Is to be
hoped they will soon be in the clutches
of the law.

Rather Strange. e.-Last week Mr.. John
Frymoire, of Rye twp, upon going to
the stable in the morning found a mule,
that had been apparently well the
night before, dead What is very
strange is that upon opening the mule
corn chop was found in the stomach,
though Mr.. f. had fed no chop or corn
in any shape. He can in no way ac-
count for the death of his mule.

On Tuesday morning Charlie Panne-
baker, son Of Daniel PannebalSer, of this

ted the left elbow joint. DR.. Banks rem
dered the medical and surgical attention

On Monday night the store of Mr.

hurglariously entered by thieves, and an
Overcoat, suit of clothes, pair of

window ut the east end Of the store.
On Tuesday night last Mr.. A. J. Fer
guson and wife, residing in East Water
ford, were nearly suiiocated by coal gas
that had escaped from the stove in the
room near bedchamber. Had not their
situation been discovered for an hour
later, there is no doubt but that they
would both have been suflocated.
The saw-mill of Mr.. David Beale,
situate near Bealetown, was entirely
destroyed by fire on Friday night of last

sparks of a fire which was built on the
outside of the mill by the young man

who used it for warming himself, and
who neglected to put it out when he left

violence, and that only legal processes
would be resorted to by Gov. Hampton
to establish the supremacy of his gov
eminent. No formal pledges were
asked on given during the interview, but
Hampton emphatically repeated the
statements he has heretofore made that
he possesses both the purpose and pow
er to protect all persons and classes
alike in their legal and constitutional
rights.
The President in reply stated sub
stantially that it was his purpose to
carry out in good faith the promises of
his inaugural address, as he was deeply
anxious to bring peace and quiet to dis
tracted portions of the country, and he
was satisfied this result would be at
tanned in a very short time. During
the entire conversation, which lasted
several hours, there was no discussion
Of Chamherlain's right to the govern
orship, and nothing said which contem-
plated his continuation in office, the
conversation being almost altogether
based upon the assumption of the with
drawal Of Federal troops and Ielin-
quishment of legal questions at issue to
the state courts. Hampton and his
friends say they were greatly pleased
and encouraged by the interview, and
this evening feel confident that the
state of South Carolina will soon be re-
lieved of its present political and in

Gold Mining in 81 By s...e.

Boston, March 29.-The excitement
over the rich mining prospects in Essex
county is very great. Several new mines
are to be opened, and one at Amesbury
Is o 0 to be vigorously worked. At
Merrimack a shaft has already been
sunk $50 feet, and there are five levels,
with a total length of 1900 feet, with
indications of an immense amount of
vein matter still below and beyond.
The quantity in sight is estimated at
100000 tons, besides a rich deposit of
gray copper discovered. Several veins
of quartz were recently encountered,
which are found to assay $50 to 1926 per
ton in gold and silver, apparently in
unlimited amount, and growing richer
as they descend. These veins are sup
posed to meet a few hundred feet be-
low the surface, forming, perhaps, a
bed of ore richer than any yet discoy-
cred. The working force number forty
at present, and 500 tons of frst-class
ore are produced monthly, worth $40
per ton. All the landowners in that
region have already grown wealthy in
anticipation.
