HoRsE AND BUGGY SToLEY.-0n Tuesday
night last, about - O'Clock, horse and bug
gy were stolen from the stables of Mr.. Jacob
Zacharias, on the Littlestown pike, near this
city. The thieves stopped at the toll-gate,
near by, and inquired the road to Gettysburg.
This circumstance gave the clue to their route
next morning, when Mr.. Zacharias, accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff John Haines, start
ed in pursuit There were three persons in
the party, two white men and negro. Their
joint weight, it is supposed, bent the axle of
the Jenny Lind carriage in which they all
rode, and Mr.. Zacharias and Mr.. Haines were
enabled to follow their course by the zigzag
track of the wheel. When they reached Get
tysburg, Mr.. Zacharias stopped for the night,
but Mr.. Haines, getting fresh horses and Sc
curing the services of detective Myers of Get
tysbarg, pushed on after the thieves. AT
Bendersville they heard that the party had
passed through that town. At Pineville two
young men were employed as guides to con-
duct them over the mountains. The pursuit
was kept up until they reached the next chain
of mountains, when they espied their quarry
slowly toiling up the mountain side, the ne
gro walking, the two white men in the car
rage. Seeing that they were pursued, they
suddenly turned their horse from the road
into the woods, sprang from the carriage and
took to their heels in the mountain, leaving
the horse and carriage standing, which in a
few minutes was in the possession of Messrs.
Haines and Myers. This was within about
one mile of Brushville, Cumberland county,
Pa. Pursuit of the thieves in the mountains
being hopeless, Messrs. Haines and Myers
returned to Gettysburg, arriving there about
2 o'eleck on Thursday morning. The thieves
were recognized by persons in Pennsylvania,
who saw them pass. Their names are Jacob
Kaufman, William Hellman, and John Burns,
the latter a negro, said to be only recently
out of the Pennsylvania penitentiary. The
detectives in Pennsylvania are on their track.

BALTIMORE AID HANOVER RAILRoAD.-0ur
Hampstead correspondent writes The sec
ond annual election of Board of Directors
of the Baltimore and Hanover Railroad Com
pany, was held at the hotel of H. II. La
motto, Hampstead, on Tuesday, the 7th in
slant, when the following gentlemen were
elected: Capt. A. W. Eichelberger, J.. F.
Melsheimer and Stephen Keefer, OF Hanover,
Pa; VIM. H. Hoffman, of Baltimore county;
Calvin c. Wooden, of Carroll county; and
Chas. W. Slagle and W III. Vickery, Of Bal
timore city. These gentlemen comprise the
Board of Directors for the ensuing year.
Quite number Of railroad contractors were
present, seeking contracts on the remaining
sections of the road. The skepticism of the
eroakers is rapidly passing away, and the
certainty of the Ridge Route is looming up
before their aifrighted eyes, and like the ghost
of Banquo paralyzes the arm of him who
would destroy so valuable an enterprise. The
grading ofthe road issuing from Maple Swamp
is slowly, but surely, approaching Hamp-
stead, whence il will proceed by an almost
direct line TO Emory Grove, where it inter-
seets the Western Maryland Railroad. The
line of the road, from same two miles above
Hampstead, until it reaches Emory Grove, is
along the ridge or watershed dividing the
tributaries of the Patapsco Falls from those
of the Gunpowder, and amid fertile and de-
lightfui region, affording the finest sites for
building country seats, with pure air aud water
and delightful views along the whole distance
of 10 miles There is no other railroad in
the State projected or built upon a watershed,
and none, therefore, so highly favored in
these respects.
The Board organized by electing Capt. A.
W Eiehelberger, President; l.. F. Melshei-
mer, Secretary, and r. NJ. Writ, Treasurer.

LARGE FAILURE-The Baltimore Morning
Herald, of Wednesday, says THE paper
of A. p Baer & Co., and 8 Cheapside, cor
ner Of Lombard street, hide and leather
dealers, went to protest on the first day Of
the present month, and the firm closed their
store last Friday. A meeting of creditors
will be held on the 18th instant. The Balti-
more creditors are III. G.. Curtain d Co.,
Geo. Appold & Son, Jenkins & Bro, VIM.
Crane and Deford l. Co. The amount due
the above firms is small. The liabilities are
said to be about 100000, and the assets are
unknown. The firm has been in existence
about fourteen years, and the lailrre is attri-
buted TO bad debts and a gradual decline IL
business.
Our community sincerely regret the embar
rassment of this Unknown firm. 1t afford
ed employment to large number of hands,
who will now be thrown out of work. The
leather manufactured at their Tannery, G
short distance below this city, has always
stood high in the market, and we hope the
suspension is only temporary. 1t is too i'm.
portant an interest to be permitted to fall into
decay.

Welded ut Last.

A gentleman from Waxahachie, now
visiting in our city, informs us that con-
siderable excitement was created in the
social circle of his town last Wednes-
day, by the marriage of Mr.. Nicholas
Sims, wealthy farmer of Ellis County,
aged seventy, to Mrs. Dunlap, an es-
teemed lady of Waxahachie, of some
sixty summers. In the State of Tennes-
see they had in the days of childhood
lived together; in youth had loved with
all the fervor of the hearts first passion,
and when grown, rtlmor says, plighted
their faith, but the pledge was broken
and the lovers separated. The lover
married another, whose death hemourn-
ed several years ago. The lady twice
bowed at the bridal altar, and twice has
wept over the grave of departed hus-
band. After forty years they met in
this distant State, and, though his form
has lost its youthful pride and vigor,
and her once rosy cheek and sparkling
eye have somewhat faded, the love of
former days. is aroused from its long
slumber, and at the residence of DR..
Sweat, the brides son.in-law, in the
presence of a few old friends, the broken
pledge is fulfilled. Such remarkable
renewed of an early attachment is seldom
found, and challenges even fiction for
an equal. Time, we learn, has dealt
kindly with the couple, and they look as
though they may yet enjoy many happy
days of welded bliss.-Dallas (1eIas)
