Last Sunday night or early Monday
morning, the barn of Thomas Powers,
near the stone church, was entered and
his horse and carriage taken by two in
toxicated persons and driven as far as
the road was passable to the Farmer S
Inn," and left hitched to the fence. The
owner in the morning, followed the
trail by the tracks of the horse and took
his property, but as in too many cases
the offenders are left to go on, without
receiving proper treatment at the hands
of the law.
A balky horse belonging to Charles
Cole made quite a demonstration near
the stone bridge, one day this week. Its
determinations not to go, and the efforts
of the driver to get it along, resulted in
it's rearing, falling and hitting its head
so as to considerably brulse it, and Il o
foundering so impressed some of the
children that were among the spectators,
that several stories have gone out from
them, as that the horse was led away to
be shot; he dashed his brains out and
could not live; and that purse of
three dollars was to be made up to buy
a better one, provided it should die. 1t
turns out no damage was done.
