The Trial and Troubles Of Mr.. Guilt.

EDITOR TINES 1T is now something
over a week ago that the stable of John
Cullison, a suburban resident of Lenape,
was visited in the dark ess of night, and
fine bay four-year old FLY, a large and
very likely animal, worth at least one hun
dred and fifty dollars, the property of Mr.
C., was stolen, together with pony belong
ing TO DIR. Downs, of Lenape. Although
Mr.. CIllison has secured the country here
abouts, and advertised far and wide, no
clew to the whereabouts of the FLY has yet
been obtained. The pony, which had evil
IDENTIFY been turned loose next morning after
the taking, came back after an absence of
two or three days. This is the second time
that Mr.. Culiison has been yictimized by
stable lifters ; and worse than all, one night
last spring, they stole away his wife. The
wife returned but it is doubtful If the
same good luck happen in the case Of the
FLY, which is really valuable animal.
NJ. W. Robinson, for several years rail-
road and express agent, and postmaster, at
this place, having, by dint of strict appli-
cation and close economy, managed to
save up enough to buy farm, has hidden
adieu to the railway aud postal service.
His successor is Capt. w. l.. Seran. That
Mr.. Seran, who is staunch Republican,
has taken this office, just at the present
time, indicates no apprehension on his part
of the success of lilden, and the conse-
Guent kicking out OF Republican ap-
pointses
The X. P. Railway still runs trains
through this valley, with an irregularity
that works serious inconvenience to the
business men along the line. The manage
ment of this road is evidently weakening.
The Topeka accommodation train, which
arrived at Kansas City at an early hour In
the day and left SO late in the evening as
to enable passengers to make convenient
connections with any of the other roads, or
TO transact all their business at Kansas
City and return the same day, has been
taken of. and the corresponding train on
the A., L. & S. f. was also withdrawn at
the same time. Ii appears that the more
railroads We have the fewer the railroad
we nave INV Othy Inc
through express trains, which are run with
out the lesst regard for the convenience of
the local travel through this part of the
country.
The people Of this township don't like
the dog law, as it is called, or the Law inn
posing a tax upon all CANNES. They would
be glad to hear of Its repeal, or of its modi-
fcation, 80 as to permit every family 10 have
at least one dog, tax-free. 1t is also felt
that the dog money raised in each district
should go TO the school fund OF that district
rather than to the general fund. 1t is to be
hoped that the Legislature will awake to
the importance of this matter, and give Us
dog law framed in the letter and spirit of
broad human craftsmanship.
The bulidoze party in this end Of the
county were quiet yesterday, although that
was the day set for the general howl. DEM
onstrations such as Tiiden managers in
vited, are not expected in a community in
which whisky is so hard to get as it is here.
