Recovery Of A Stolen Horse.

The horse which was stolen, from
the stable of Mr.. John Cameron on
the night of the 25th of last March
and for which the Rising Sun De
tective Association offered a reward
of S25, and the owner Of the horse SO
was recovered and brought home
on Friday last. We mention
ed in our last issue that Detect
i've Bye of Philadelphia, had sent a
p ostaI card to DIR. Kirk, President OF
of the Detective Association, notify,
ing him that he had found the stolen
horse and to send the owner on to
identify his property.
On Wednesday of last week Theo
Brickley and VIM. j. Cameron,
started on the early train for Phila,
delphia, and in company with De-
tective Bye, proceeded to the place
where the stolen horse was found,
about 60 miles above Philadelphia.
in the township bearing the aborig
inal name of Nockamixon, in Buck s
county. The spot where the dilapi-
dated farm house is situated is Mock
amixon Swamp, a dreary rocky, for
lorn region, scantily populated. The
party rode in the cars to Milford, N.
j., and hiring buggies drove over
wild hilly, rocky road to a dingy
looking farm house, in the midst of
this aboriginal swamp, where they
found the stolen horse hitched to a
wagon with q man or lad hauling
manure from the barn yard.
The owner Of the place, Henry
Trouts, was not at home and the
claimants of the stolen horse had to
wait from 430 p. NJ. Till about 5 O..
clock, when Mr.. Trouts came home
from a stone quarry where he had
been working, Il few miles away. He
made no objections to the horse be
ing taken away. Said he had bought
the animal from man, named John
Lennon, who had brought lin to
his place the 18th of last March, 4
days after he had been stolen from
Mr.. Cameron's stable. The horse
was hitched with a splendid black
mare, which the detective has no
doubt has been stolen also, and he
was on the hunt of an owner. He
has recovered three stolen horses
from this farm, and man who is
found dealing so extensively in stol-
en- horses ought to be looked after.
A man named James Shermon has
assisted detective Bye in ferreting
out the st olen horses, merits honor.

Mr.. Bye was paid the reward, SIS
and Mr.. Cameron took charge of his
horse and brought him home, reach.

removed from amidst q wilderness
of rum shops and the dens of infamy
which are a part and parcel of the
liquor traffic. Why? If the business
is harmless, if the men and women
whom it draws about it, are fit to as
sociate with and exert such an in.
fluence as good citizens must exert,
why this agitation as to the location
of school house in which our boys
and girls, and our future men and
women congrcgate? Why is the OBJ
lection to a rumshop in our residence
districts. and there is such objection,
coming not only from temperance
people, but also from those who are
engaged in the wholesale liquor bust
ness, and from many who are the pro,
prietors OF retail establishments.
And why is it that a rumshop if
opened in section where there have
been none, will at once cause depre-
citation in the value of surrounding
property? 1t cannot be denied that
these things which we have stated as
facts, are such, and the reason for
their existence is what we wish to
have explained. The explanation is
that the business is neither pleas.
ant or safe neighborhood Leaving
out Of consideration entirely the
temptation which it places before the
young of our homes. the rumshop is a
place for brawls, for profane and in
decent language. for murder and for
the encouragement Of vicein general.
1t is the only business in the world,
unless it is business in some way
connected with it, that is liable to
produce a murder at any moment;
and argue as we may, weave what
ever theories we choose, make any
claims and professions that we like.
the solemn undeniable fact is, the
rumshop is the source of ignorance
and destructive Of manhood. We
might as we'll deny that tthe sun
shines as to deny this plain every
day truth. And now we are prepar-
ed to test the sincerity of these gen.
tlemen when thev affirm that they
are ready to discharge every duty
that devolves upon good citizens.
Under form of government like
ours it is not to be denied that virtue
and intelligence are the very corner.
stones of our political fabric. There
is not man in the whole nation who
is possessed of sufficient intelligence
to comprehend the needs Of repub-
hc, who will attempt to deny this.
The men who adopted this hypocrital
and nonsens;cal resolution will not
deny it; and yet while admitting that
fact. and protesting to be good Cit
izens, they assemble together to boil
ster up business which is the only
business in the nation which is fos.
tering crime and vice and ignorance,
and therefore threatening to the ex-
tent Of its influence. the prosperity
and even the perpetuity of the Re-
public Western Rural.

BEFORE HIS SONS EYES. Boston Shoemaker Buries a Knife In
 His Wife,s Neck.

BOSTON, Feb. 10.-Michael Doran and his wife Catharine, aged forty nine and fifty re- spectively, had lived together twenty years and had fifteen children, of which seven are now living, when about two years ago Michael saw his wife in company with another man in graveyard at South Wey- mouth, their home, and left her. Five months ago she with the children took rooms at 8 Albany Place, this city, where they have been frequently visited by Michael, who invariably ended his visits with quar- rel. To-day he visited them again, bringing his shoemaker tools with him. He began at once to fight his wife. At noon he went to the bedroom, unstrapped his bag, took out keen shoe knife, knelt and prayed, then be- gan swearing terribly at his wife and finally in the presence of their son Martin plunged the knife to the hilt into her neck, severing the main artery and infiicting fatal wound. He then buried the knife in the ashes of the stove and mingled with the crowd his crime attracted. He was arrested and jailed.
