nate-for the police.

There is no truth in the report that Mr..
Josh Frock, who owns the York road newspaper
route lost another horse this week. In the case
onstrate that horse could live without being fed
but the doggoned thing wouldn't hold out long
enough to fully established his theory. But
we must admit that cleft over" newspapers are
not nourishing food for horse.

procession in the 10th district, which marched
from Lynch's tavern to Smiths, on the Jarretts-
Vile pike; also in the Sd district, at Pixies

This thing has developed into a sort of "protrac
ted meeting" and may continue until the 4th of
March. Manifestly, our Democratic friends have
SCOT it bad"
There are great many tramps on the
road and the mystery is, where they all come
from. Among them we occasionally find rowing
printer o the worst class. One of these paid his
respects to us on Thanksgiving day. He had
"frescoed" eye and other adornments which made
him very repulsive looking. He was not one of
the kind that wanted job. He only needed few
u
without any of the latter.

pondent of the York Gazette says: "0n Wednes-
day night of last week. a couple of horse thieves
entered the stables of Mrs. Elizabeth Kolter,
widow of Christof Kolter, of this place, and stole
a very fine horse, buggy, harness and spring
wagon. They went south over the Baltimore
pike as far as Cockeysville, when they changed
their course going in the direction of Westmins-
ter, Nd. They were traced that far by two men,
but no clue has been had of them since. Had
proper means been used in the pursuit. they could
have been captured.

at Mr.. William Ensor's this side of Partition, they

ners and buggy, hitched up the team, came on
through this place, going north. 1t is supposed
they are the same parties making return trip
Mr.. Ensor is in hot pursuit of the thieves and it
is hoped he may capture them. Since these horses
and property have been stolen there has been a
general locking of stables. The first party, find
