TIL, tnrniral in Rio Do Ianeiro.

There are two totally distinct sea-

an altogether different appearance /; the

A Youthful Horse Thief.

The Blizzard Of Saturday last says:
Constable Hugh Brawley, of Guys
Mills, Crawford County, was in tnwn
Friday night in search of a youth
about eighteen years of age, by the
name of Harry Connselman, who is
wanted at Guys Mills for stealing
a horse and Winchester rife. At
Cooperstown he traded the stolen
horse for a brown mare weighing
about 1850 pounds, receiving ten
dollars in boot money TO offset a
couple of ringhones which the mare
possessed.
No information was received here
concerning the young mar and his
outfit and il is not believed that he
came to Oil City. From Choppers,
town he was traced to Kelly's Cor.
ners and it is supposed now that from
there he went in the direction of Tt
tusville or cut across the country for
Forest Comfy.
