bridle which he could arrange so as to carry in small satchel, and seemed to have con- siderable money with him, as he offered in vain $50. if his captors would let him go The men, excepting Adams and Doian, were members of the New Milford anti-horse thief association, and an offer of a million dollars for the liberty of horse thief once in their clutches, would receive no more attention from them than ten cent bid. He was talk en on board the c. w. R. R. milk train at Norfolk and brought to this place, thence to
 New Milford by the H. R. R. milk train, two men following with the recovered horse, later in the day. They stopped at the Warner
 douse over night, starting for home about 3 o'clock Monday morning The thief was a stranger, with black beard slightly streaked with gray, and was apparently about 50 years old. The quick work of the pursuers, in cap. turing the thief within 12 hours after his theft, was creditable performance, and will inspire healthy respect for the association in the breast of any who may be inclined to buy horse when the owner isn't around.
 Of all the remedies against the attacks of the potato beetle nothing has been found so effective as Paris green, or the arsenite Of copper. It is mineral, rank poison, and many farmers are afraid to use it. They do not like to handle it. but so far as we know there is not an instance of any disastrous ef- fects that can be traced to the judicious ap- plication to the potato crop or to any other plant. If any i'll results ave followed from It, they arise from carelessness and want of reasonable and proper precautions. Owing to the extensive sale thls article has att ined, many aduterations occur, which to the ordina- V observer are not perceptible. w.. H. Camp, the druggist, of Canaan, has purchased al large quantity, which he guarantees to bel pure, and is selling at price to defy compe- tlton. A satisfactory result is guaranteed rom it's use. 4W
