wouid-be horse thief came to grief and
received q dessrv. castieat,on in the vicinity
OF this city one day recently. at the hands Of
Mr.. George NJ. Robinson, the widely know
horse dealer Of Augusta. On the day in
question. MIR. Robinson was driving down
State street with one of his most valuable
steppers. When in the vicinity of the State
House he met gentleman driving another
hne horse. Both parties halted and began to
talk about trading horses. Our Augusta
horseman wishing to give his companion's
animal trial before swapping, hitched his
own team up 10 the State House fence,
got into the gentleman's buggy aud the two
drove of together towards Hallowell They
proceeded a portion of the way to the latter
city, wheeled around and drove Augusta
ward. They had made but portion of the
distance in return, when much to their sur
prise and establishment they met a fellow
coolly seated in Mr.. Robinson's carria &c and
with nonchalant air driving his horse,
which he had supposed was securely fastened
to the State House fence. towards Hallowell
But radical change cane over the thief q
dreams of an uneventful ride down the Kenne-
bee valley. The team which Robinson occu-
pied was turned in twinkling. An exciting
chase ensued Whip lashes "whished through
the air and down upon the backs of the gallop-
ing equines. Shouts of encouragement urged
on the flying animals. Residents along the
street gszed forth only to see the forms of
the fleeing teams speed rapidly by, enveloped
in a cloud of dust. Pursuers and pursued
strained every nerve. Ii was better than a
circus. But the pursuing team proved
the fastest. 1t gained rapidly. The thief
finding that he would shortly be overhauled,
wheeled his team into a by street when near
the Haliowell Cemetery, and, driving into the
yard adjoining Stoddard's soap works, leaped
from the carriage and started to run up
steep hill which is hard by. But the pursu-
ers did not propose to be foled by this ma
neuvre. They hurried on after their victim
into Stoddard's yard, jumped from their
team and gave chase to the fleeing thief.
Before it was a trial of horse flesh !;
Again Robinson and his companion came
off victors. They captured the fellow and,
using horss-whip which they had brought
with them, gave the scamp a sound horse
whipping, after which they liberated him,
gave him some wholesome advice, and re-
turned to their teams prepared if occasion
demanded to meet another specimen of the
horse thief fraternity.

st. John, and vent from there to Machias,
where he lived about year, and then re-
sided short time in ST. Stephen, and finally
settled in Calais, having been . resident in
this locality about so years. By his indus

city during the last thirty years or more, and
was faithful to its requirements. He was
also very active and enthusiastic temperance

bore prominent part in all temperance

formed Il his principles. Impulsive and en-
thusia-tic IN his support of what he deemed
right. he could not fail to influence others,
AMI his influence was always for Law and or
der and right living. He leaves an example
of a long life of fidelity to duty as he under

As husband. father and citizen he merited
the CONNIE ndation Of all for his earnest pur-
poses of his good and his efforts for their ac-
complishment, and even those who differed
with him admitted his consistency.
His life was a long and pleasant one, and
he died with the consultations of his firm re-
ligious faith, and surrounded by his wife and
children who will cherish and bless his MEM

This muggy, warm weather is injurious to
trade of all kinds. To the clothing trade es-
pecially is it hurtful. Cold, frosty weather
reminds an indv idual that he is in need of a
new overcoat, a suit of thick clothing or a
new hat or cap to protect him from the frig-
idity of the forthcoming winter. He accord
ingly visits the clothing dealers and leaves
his measure. Even now many are wearing
their fall suits which answer all purposes as
long as the temperature continues as high as
for the past few days. The poultry trade is
also depressed and there is glut of fowls in
the Boston market. Give US bright, spark
ling weather W it'll the snap in it," is the cry
all along the line. and business will move.
