VIM. Clarkson, living out in Dab
lonega township, had horse stolen
from his stable, a few evenings since,
but by some means it got away from
the thieves and returned home again.
Several of his neighbors had their
cellars robbed, chickens stolen, &C..
by people who, it is believed, belong
in the city. Our farmer friends
should polish up their artillery and
no matter whom they find providing
around at night, give them the con
tents and probably no questions will
be asked or tears shed.

good shape for the through traffic, as
new iron is to be at once laid upon

inal cases taken from this county to
the Washington county district court
on changes Of venue were settled last
week, and we've probably heard the
last Of them. In the case Of Frank
Henry, charged with shooting Theo-
dore Hill, at Batavia, some two years
ago, the particulars Of which are re-
membered by our readers, a jury was
chosen Wednesday, and the trial
ended Thursday. The jury returned
q verdict Of equity of an assault
with intent to commit mans!aughter."
Henry was indicted for assault with
intent to commit murder" The tri-
al was quite interesting, and some
good arguments were brought before
the jury. Judge Winslow ordered
John Wright, released his own recog-
nizance for $500, to appear before the
fall term of the district court. This
virtually dismisses the cases against
Wright and McIntire, they will prob.
ably be released this fall, the evidence
in the Henry case showing that one
man did all of the talking and shoot.
ing. Henry was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary.

The editor Of the Democrat takes
to heart our little pleasantly about j.
W. Carpenters flood gate and the
shad, and he writes a half-column
wall in answer thereto. The COURIER
was tho first paper in the State to
urge the project of Fish Culture, and
years ago, long before the Democrat
ever had line in its columns on the
subject, the COURIER published nu-
merous articles in advocacy of the
project. We would in no wise de-
tract from the honor our cotempora-
ry may derive from his efforts to fur
Their this object, either as Fish Com.
missioner or as private citizen, and
it seems to us-that he ought to be old
enough and discreet enough to dis
tinguish little pleasantly from op.
position to the commendable object
of increasing our fish supply, which
he rushed in and claimed to be cham
pion of long after the COURIER had
brought the matter prominently be-
fore the people of the State. The
COURIER will always be found en-
couraging and sustaining all reasona-
BILE appropriations by the Legislature
for this object, and is ready to accord
to the editor Of the Democrat the full
need of praise for all he has done to
further this laudab object.

We believe the fact is not disputed
that the child died from the effects OF
the poison; but Mrs. Cameron denies
that she administered ii to the little

the house for the purpose Of being
used as horse medicine, and that the

4 Nevada Incident.

She was q comely squaw. and had
purchased the gaudiest pair of stockings
to be found in town. Her taste was
guided by the same idea as the butcher
boy, who was satisfied to have his cart
painted any color $50 long as it was
red," and her selection fell. to that hue.
Striding out of the store, she monopo-
lized the sidewalk as q dressing room,
and soon had the hosiery filled with
solid flesh. Her feet were encased in q
pair of dainty No. Z cowhides, and as
the fashion reporter would put it, the
general tout ensemble was ravishing.
The most ludisrous part of the per-
Torrance was to watch her crossing and
recrossing the street, invariably taking
in a mud-hole in the way, and when she
reached it she made a display that
would have fired the heart of Saint An
thony, had he run to brunettes. As it
was, she entranced a sidewalk full of
loungers and furnished them with quite
a sensation. As travesty on her civil
lied sisters, it was the best and most
natural take-of that ever was seen.
