Recovered.

The horses of John Jenkins, and the car
riage and harness that was stolen from
North Sterrett, on Sunday night, August
10, were all recovered from the thief that
had them in charge about o O'Clock on the
morning OF the 18th, on the Landisburg
road, leading to Carlisle, at a point about
five miles from the later town. Both Jen-
kins and Sterrett belong to the horse pro-
lection company, and as soon as their loss
was made known TO the company there was
a gathering of the horsemen. By Monday
noon many men we're riding in every direc
ton TO occupy the roads that lead from Ju-
niata, SO that the track of the thief might
be found, or to get ahead of him, and thus
secure his capture when he should appear
on the road with his plunder. The COM
pany at its regular meeting designates a
rout for each member, so that every men,
ber, to-day knews where he shall ride to,
should a horse be stolen tonight. Dr. G.
d. Arnolds r0ut was to Carlisle. He has =
tened on Monday morning after he had
heard of the theft 10 discharge his obliga-
tiOn to his horse company associates, nd
by evening time he had arranged to occupy
The roads that come through the mountains
from this county. He stationed a man
named Wagner about five miles from Car
Isle, on the Landisburg road and was sta
tioning other men on other roads leading
from the mountains into Cumberland coun-
ty, nearly all night and Tuesday morning.
About O'Clock on that morning, man IN
a carriage driving two horses came from the
direction of the mountain on the road where
wagner was stationed. Wagner halted the
man, the fellow did not ask for an explana-
ton of the halt but leaped from the carriage
and ran away. Pursuers were not at hand,
and the thief had his own way in escaping.
The Doctor brought the horses and carriage
to Mexico, and thence they were taken to
the respective places of the owners. A
hammer such rs is used TO drive horse shoe
nails was found in the carriage with sand
wiches and oats. 1t is believed that the
thief crossed from Juniata to Perry by way
of Bealetown, and on Monday lay at the foot
of Tuscarora mountain. west of Ickesburg,
and on Monday night crossed Perry cOun-
ty and the mountain on its southern boun-
Diary and reached Cumberland county about
daylight, where he was caught. a des-
cription of the thief and confederate, who
il is believed were both in Patterson, may
be obtained from people in this community,
who believe that they saw them in Patter-
son, and several other places.

Mr.. Blaine's Libel Suit.
INDIANAPoLIs. Ind. Angus

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August IA.
On the Sth inst the Sentinel of this
city contained an editorial charging
that Blaine had seduced his present
wife in Kentucky and then fed to
Maine that the young woman and
her father followed him, and that he
married her at the point of a shot
gun. This having reached Mr.. Blaine
he to-day sent the following dispatch
from Bar Harbor to Colonel W. r.
Holloway of this city:
! have this moment received the atrocious
libel of the indianapolis Sentinel 1t is ut
terly and abominably false in every appli-
cation. Political ISLANDERS do not stop to
notice. but this editor assails the honor of
my wife and my children. l desire you.
without an hours delay, to employ the
proper attorney and have the responsible
publisher of the Sentinel sued for libel in
the United States District Court of India
ma. 1t is my only remedy. am sure that
honorable Democrats alike with honorable
Republicans will justify me in defending
the honor of my family, if need be with my
life.
Colonel Holloway placed the mat
ter in the hands of Senator Harrison S
law firm who this evening filed the
complaint in the case.

Mr.. BLAINE continued an agrees
i've Know-Nothing during the exis.
tence of that party until it united in
Maine with the Republican party
New York World. A Maine paper
says of the statement, it is absolute
" untrue. Mr.. Blaine had become
well enough known as an aggressive
Republican to be selected as one of
the delegates from Maine to the first
Republican National Convention in
1856, and was made one of the sec
retaries of that body. He was then
only twenty-six years old, and at
twenty-five he was "a leading spirit
in the councils of the Republican
party, in the words of Governor
Kent. But the American" party
cast votes in Maine for an ''Ameri-
can ticket in 1856, and again in IS
Sc, and again in 1860, when MIR.
Blaine was chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee. He went to
Maine in 1854, and the next year was
recognized as leading Republican
that is the fact The doings of a
young man of twenty-five are not,
perhaps, in the last degree important
but, it may as well be with some re-
gard to truth.
