Some unprincipled person has been in
the habit of getting peoples horses and
riding them after night; few nights ago
some one took John Clendening horse
and rode it. John going to feed in the

night of the 9th Mr.. Robt Gold pitched
his horse in front of the Post Office; some
one removed it and hitched it in the

will be caught there by breaking up this
habit.

OF trying to smash things up you should
encourage them for some DAYS you may
be wanted to take their place and the
fact that you paid your fare assisted by
few drinks of whisky don't give you
the right to do as you please by a long
ways.
