Monday n;obt Rev s. W. Eatop,s horse


found his stable door opened He though
the wind might have done that Then h,
found the horse was gone. He thought tbs
horse might have got loose himself, but hs
thought il little strange that the two things
should have happened the same night. Oh
examination a bianKet and harness bride
were found missing. The bedding, hay ant
other indications in the stall showed that the
horse had left early In the night. Mr.. Eatof
came up town and in front of Mr.. Utt's be
found his horse hitched with its own halter.
There was still room TO suppose that the
horse might have got away himself Exam.
ination of the ground, (which was soft show ed
that the horse did not go out at his gate. Or
looking around the lot Mr.. Eaton found 9
place where the fence between his place and
Mr.. Maurice Mur?hey's had been laid down
and up again. He thought the thief was an
accom- odating fellow. But the fact was
learned that Mr.. Marphey's people had dis
covered The fence was down and had put il
up. The tracks of the horse at this place
and out through the fences north 10 the
street that passes the cemetery were plain.
The horse was muddy and showed fatigue.
No clue to the thief. If 1t had been Satur-
day night some might have guessed that some
one of the many lawyers clients in town
wanted to go home and spend Sunday and
wanted to 60 on preachers horse, but it
was Monday and we can't lay it to the law
| yers or their clients. II is said that one of
the Lancaster detectives is gone. If this is
the case, until further notice the detectives
are under cloud, but until chance pre-.
senfs itself TO suspend the thief, let us sus,
pend judgment. Tbs stolen blanket and bril-
die have not been returned
! Even GUs was little obscure In his ref
erence to Prof Allison. To make him UNDER
stood we win say that one cold night the Pro-
fessor passed through Lancaster in cutter
He stopped at hotel to warm up and get sup
| per. While waiting lie had lively converse
tionwith a number of well known and promi,
nent citizens, 1t seems they thought him rath-
er higher than ordinary men and so reported
the fact in conversations about him. Bosco-
bel people heard of it, and some of his brethren
in the temperance society Of which he is a
member, put him on trial for being on high.
The trial failed. No Lancaster man would 90
down there to sustain charges against a
Boscobel needs all her ministers and couldn't
be persuaded 10 do anything to encourage
one of them to leave. High ministers may
be as desirable as any others in Boscobel
The HERALD is like Lancaster people. 1t
has heard Judge McGonigaps, Gen. Calis's,
Jed Barnett's, John Arthur's and DR.. VIM
throp's talk but it doesn't know but what
they are all infdels and il won't repeat what
they say. If any Boscobel people want TO
know they must come aud inquire for them
selves
Mrs MIG, of Burton, writes Last week
my husband bought gallon of whiskey from
---, All. 1t was composed of
the following materials; drugs,l pint, whiskey,
pint aud the rest river water and molasses
or about az near these proportions as | could
tell, ! take this method of warning others
who think of buying liquor not to buy it
there or they will get cheated. If there is
10 law against selling such stuff there
ought to be-" We suppress names but will
say that the molasses and river water mer-
chants do not live in Burton. And we don't
know that we can agree with Mrs G. In fact
it might be we'll if the law permitted or re-
quired saloon keepers to put four quarts of
molaases and river water into every gallon
jug Of whiskey they sell. The lady will ex.
cuse us for suppressing the name. We have
no right TO publish names in that manner
Three blind men gave very amusing
and edfying entertainment at Library Hall
last night and will repeat the ofTense on an
entire new programme Tonight. The three
blind men are Hitchcock, the eocutionist
Evans, the violinist and Pautsch, the hutist
Mr.. Hitchcock is gentleman of refined man
ners and is not out begging. The other gen-
tlemen we presume are of the same class. We
speak ofthe first named because we have per,
sonally met him. Judging by the press nos
tees and visitors the one must be the funniest
violinst and the other the smartest hutist
alive. We shall try to be there tonight and
see and we want to meet everybody there.
''The poor ye have always with you" but three
blind men giving high~toned concert togeth.
err IS something not often met with

Burton writer's will please not cast re-
Elections upon each other. No doubt the
post Office is now where ii should be but Mr..
johnson is probably not censurable for any
thing he did in the matter. People should
give him credit for his consideration in not
reno ng the Office when he was "boss" of
the situation. Let US not have anything
more said about it, pro or con.
