times from various causes, especially
strong drink in devious ways; through

THREE HORSES STOLEN.
The Thieves.trom West Virginia.

Three horses we're stolen in the neigh
borhood of Carlisle, last Saturday night,
two ofthem from Mr.. Spence and one
from Mr.. Curtis. Parties at once star
ted in pursuit of the thieves but up to this
time we have no further report. Recently
quite number Of valuable horses have
been stolen along the borders OF Belmont,
Monroe and Noble counties, the thieves
in every instance hurrying across the
river to the mountain Businesses Of West
Virginia. There is no doubt that a regu
larly organized band Of horse thieves
are prowling through this section, with
their pals located in different places, who
select the valuable horses and assist in
thefts. A close watch should be kept by
the officers for these outlaws their aiders
and abettors.-Noble County Press, 2Sth

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The House proceedings to-day were q
repetition OF those OF yesterday, the only
exception being that the Senate concurrent
resolution for final adjournment was taken
up and its consideration postponed till the
Goth Of May. This was in execution OF the
policy decreed in the Democratic caucus OF
yesterday. When it came to. the question
OF seconding the previous question on Mr..

frauds in the presidential election the Re
publicans fell back upon their manGuyre OF
Withholding their votes, leaving the House
apparently without quorum, as the Dem
ocrats were only able to muster I21 votes.
After some unimportant moves on the par
liamentary chess board the Democrats real
lied their inability to make any progress in
the.matter OF the resolution, and moved TO
adjourn; which motion, after being once
defeated on a yea-and-nay vote (many Dem
ocrats voting with the solid Republican
phalanx). was finally conceded in.
Immediately thereafter the Republicans
went in the chamber for the purpose OF
consultation. The announcement OF the
call for the meeting was greeted by the
Democrats with derisive ieers and laughter,
and with NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF trl-
umph and defiance by the Republicans.
The result OF the Republican caucus was
the adoption OF resolution characterizing
the Democratic movement as revolutionary
and subvcrsvc Of the business interests,
good order, and prosperity Of the country,
and that it must be resisted by all proper
legal and parliamentary means.
