ty, the pedestal for which is now rising
out of New York harbor, has been
graphically transferred to our office
through the courtesy of the Travellers
Insurance Company of Hartford, a cor

good deeds of this character. The COM

American Press an edition of the off

has sent copy to every newspaper in
the land. This engraving being issued
under the suspIcies, aud for the benefit
of the Pedestal Committee, this act of
the Travellers involves its contribution

says on Monday night an outrage of an
unusual character was inflicted on the
personal property of Matthew King,
who resides on John Bridges farm. At
Cleversburg Junction, ,on the Harrisburg
and Potomac Railroad, two miles south
east of Shippeosburg. The outrage con-
sisted of st.avIng the tails, and clipping
the top knots OF two OF Mr. Kings most
valuable horses, and the perpetrators,
not satisfied with this deyiilsh piece OF
work. next Gu, the gum boots, or con
ductors upon a grain drill, and almost
broke TO pieces good hay rake. Mr..
King is an industrious, we'll behaved
citizen, and had his sale advertised for
Wednesday, when these articles we're
to be disposed Of The horses were IN
prime order, aud we're valued at 5000,
but this DutilatIon must have very

the time OF the sale. 1t Is to be hoped
that proper efforts will be put on foot
to ferret out the scOundrels concerned
in this diabolical act, and have them
brought to speedy justice, for such
fends have no place in respectable
community.
