and carried here in a few days. That
was speedy work. Things in their
workings are always speedy after
they reach focal point but before
that slow. The horses were raised
by twenty different owners during
the slow process of four and six
years; that was slow work compared
to the grouping process and sale
within few days. The sale scatter
ed them more rapidly than they had
been gathered, and the money OBJ
tanned for them had in most cases
been accumulating for about as long
a period as the horses had been grow
ing.
The Perry county Democrat of
August Is, says: On last Sunday
night the residence of Mr.. John X.
CRUDE, in Centre township, was en-
tered by thief and $195 taken from
under the pillow of Mr.. CRUDE. The
boldness of this robber renders it
necessary for everybody to be on
their guard. First, the burglary of
Capt. Mortimer's store; next, the
stealing of money from the panta-
looms pocket of Mr.. Brown, and now,
the abstraction of money from under
the head of sleeping man, and yet
not a clue to the perpetrator of these
thefts. Depreciation of this. kind have
been very rare in this community.
Our population have long sustained
their reputation for law abiding, NOR
al, upright citizens, and it is the i'm
preston of some that the burglar
does not belong to this neighborhOod.
Be this as it may it has become nee
essary to take measures to secure
him and give him his just deserts.
The Carlisle Her aid relates the
following shocking Cain and Able
performance as having taken place
in Cumberland county: There lives
few miles northwest of Fewville,
in Miffiin twp, two brothers by the
name of George and Andrew En-
sminger The two for some time
past had been disputing about a
tract of land-both claiming it
and while Andrew was at work in
the woods on Monday morning,
George came out and renewed the
dispute by asking him who gave him
the authority to work there. He
claimed that he had no right to it,
and told him if he did not stop
working he would put stop to it.
George being very angry at this
time. at once fell upon him with
heavy iron cudgel striking right and
left with it, but Andrew succeeded
in warding off the blows and finally
got the better of George, knocking
him down and soon had him disarm
ed of the cudgel. George then beg
ged to be released, and Andrew let
him up and moved away short dis
tance from him, supposing that the
dispute which had long been in ex-
istence between them was now set
tied and was ell right. George was
freed but moment, when he swore
he was going to shoot Andrew, and
drew revolver Andrew ran, but
only few steps, when he fell badly
wounded by shot from the revol
yer in the hands of George. The
ball entered his right side passing
through the lung and coming out
the breast. This, no doubt, fright
ened George somewhat when he be-
gan to mediate over what he had
done, and he went to Andrews
house and informed the family of
the crime he had committed, and, it
is said. afterwards helped to carry
the wounded man home. Both men
bear good regulations, and the hor-
rible crime has astonished the whole
neighborhood, as they were never
known to quarrel before, other than
having some few words about this
land. At the last advices Andrew
was still living, but poor hopes We're
entertained of his recovery. George
has escaped and has not been heard
of since.
