near New Danville. This team was taken
but abandoned by the thieves on the stump
town road. The next barn reached belong
ed to a farmer named Harnish, and the team
stolen there was abandoned at the Running
Pump.
The third place visited was the farm of
John Ii. Myers, at New Danville, and a dark
brown mare, with two white legs white
forehead, heavy name and tail, years old,
an old buggy and a set OF harness were
stolen. The thieves were traced to this city
and from the descriptions given are Joe BuZ-
zard, Joe Croft and William Weeder, who
are we'll known criminals The last seen OF
the thieves by their pursuers was in front
of the Lamb hotel, on South Queen street,

MANHEIM, Aug. l3.-Last evening upon
his return from Lebanon, Rev. W. J. John
son, pastor of the Reformed church at Map
helm, he was surprised by finding a mum
ber Of young friends comfortably in posses
sion of his study. The reason was soon eX-
planned when Mr.. A. Kline, in an excellent
address, presented the pastor with a crayon
portrait of himself, (the pastor). The man
ner OF presentation was nicely conceived.
The portrait is the gilt of the young men
lately confirmed, and is the work of one of
their number, Artist K. +. Hsmaker The
portrait is an exact likeness of the pastor, is
beautifully finished and reflects the hand OF
an artist of much skill. Mr.. Hamaker, is a
rising young artist. He IL a graduate from
the studio OF Abraham, Lancaster, and all
his work has received high praise from the
many who have examined the portraits he
has made. The pastor appreciates the gilt
all the more because it is the work OF the
hand of one of the number OF young men
lately confirmed.
