 Sunday morning men came up through here from New Milford on the track of the thief who stole Geo. Marsh's horse. Itha- mer Hawes. another resident of New Milford. also had horse stolen the same night. Sher- man Cogswell. of this village, also lost his horse Saturday night, as also did John Hatch who lost one The last account is that Geo. Marsh's horse and the thief who stole it were caught Sunday night near Norfolk and taken to New Milford Sherman Cogswell's horses were found near North Kent, loose, and John Hatch's had been taken up by some one near the same place. Some suppose Mr. Cogs- wells and Hatch's horses got out of their pas lures and strayed away. But it seems to us very strange that 80 many horses should get out accidently on the same night and then all stray fifteen or twenty miles in the same di rection. But remarkable coincidences often occur. We are glad these gentlemen have re, covered their horses anyway, and hope the thieves may all be caught, and justice dealt out to them. $
