Stolen Horse Recovered.

On Sunday, June 9th, valuable
horse was stolen from Col. John E.
Wood, residing about three miles
from Oakland. Search was made in
the neighborhood for some days when
a clue was obtained which was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Henry Wood, and re-
suited in finding the horse in the
possession of David d. Woodward,
residing on the National Road be-
tween UniontoWn and Brownsville,
Pa, who said he had traded for him
about week previous. Mr.. Wood
returned Saturday last with the horse,
and was also accompanied by Mr..
Woodward, who identified George
Kisner, residing near Col. Woods,
as the party from whom he had got
ten the horse. Kisner was arrested
and brought before Squire Gender,
who committed him to Jail in default
of $500 for his appearance at Septem-
Der term of court.
On Monday evening Messrs. John
Campbell and George A. Mccormick,
of Uniontown, Pa. arrived at Oak
land for the purpose of more fully
identifying Kisner, They were con-
Quoted to the Jail where they saw
Kisner, and both said he was the
same man who had been in Union
town on Monday, June 25th, and en-
deavored to sell the horse to them.
On their evidence Mr.. Gender in
creased the bond of Kisner to $500.
Kisner's friends maintain that they
can prove an 0li6i, and there are
many in the neighborhood who be-
lieve that, at least, he is not the prin-
cipal, but being young, and of weak
mind, was persuaded to play the part
it is charged he took in the affair.

The Guards at Cranberry.

In its report of the reunion at Gran
brery on the 4th, the Kingwood Jour-
nal says:
The Gilbert Band, of Piedmont, ali
at once, while Mr.. Wilson was speak
ing, broke out into playing. All eff
forts to stop them didn't stop them
till they got ready, and then they
added insult to injury by marching
off the ground with drum beating.
Evidently the Gilbert Band thought
| they were running things, This re-
mark will apply somewhat to the
Garrett Guards, who followed the
Band.
We do not propose to offer any
apology for the action of the Gilbert
Band, but wish to say that that por-
ton of the above paragraph which
refers to the Garrett Guards is incor-
rect, and likely to mislead. The
Garrett Guards did not follow the
band. About a half dozen of the
Guards, without arms, did go to town
about the same time, because it was
about dinner time and they had in
tended from the first to take dinner
at the Summit House in the village !;
but the main body of the Guards,
with the Captain and First and Sec
ond Lieutenants remained upon the
ground until the exercises were con-
cluded.
1t is due to the Garrett Guards,
many of whom made the trip at a
personal sacrifice, that the Journal
give its numerous readers the above
facts.
Here is what the Vest Virginia En-
terpriSe, published at Cranberry, says
of the Guards:
The Garrett Guards came up from
Oakland about 10 O'Clock A. NJ, and
were escorted to their place in the
procession. They were 40 in num-
Der, under the command of Capt. e.
III. Wardwell, and Lieuts. d. Nj. Ma
son, Il. s. Jamison and p. A. CHS
holm. Lieuts. Combs and Bartlett
of the Second Battalion Staff M.
N, g., were with the Guards to
whose presence much of the success
of the day is due. The department
of this crack military organization
sustained their usual excellent repu-
tation and reflected credit, not only
on the command, but the town of
Oakland, as well.

ElkinS.

The glorious anniversary of our
Nations birth day passed offin very
quiet manner in our little town.
Stores were kept open and the voca-
tions oflife persued just the same as
usual, and nothing worthy of note
transpired by which one could dis
tinguish the importance of that great
day, excepting the occasional report
of the fire cracker, discharged by the
patriotic small boy.
A. III. Goodwin is our authority for
the following: VIM. Brimble, while
on his way home from his place one
night last week, was attacked In
very savage manner by an enormous
wild cat, which he says sprang at
him with glaring eyes, and distend-
ed nostrils, and with a righteousness
only equal to that of the tiger. Not
being armed, or having any weapons
to defend himself, it was with great
difficulty he succeed in driving the
sanguinary animal off; which, how
ever. he succeed in doing by the dex-
ferrous use of a large sized club which
he was carrying.
Mr.. Thos. e. Shillingburg and
Miss Lima Chisholm started in COM
pany from the scene of their child
hood, on last Monday morning, and
wendell their way to Oakland. where
they were in a very surreptitious
manner united together in the happy
bonds of matrimony, by the Rev.
They then impatiently await
ed the arrival of the fast train for the
West, but were not slow in getting
aboard when it did come, and we
doubt very much if they paid any at
tention to the magnificent scenery
along the route until they arrived at
Newark, Ohio, whittier they went to
spend their honeymoon. They re-
turned on last Saturday evening.
We extend to them our hearty con-
gratulations and sincerely hope that
they may spend many long and hap
Ply years together in conjugal affec.
ton, and when that eventful day
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1883-07-14

will come when they shall be call
ed upon to shuttle off this mortal coil
we trust they may leave many repre-
sentatlyes behind them to perpetuate
their present good name.
We at Elkins are hopeful that
Toms passage ore this sublumary
