day afternoon by Patrolman Burchinal
on charge of stealing a horse and
harness from Townsend. The animal
was recovered in Wilmington. It is
charged that Barcus drove from that

ing the evening the valuable horse was
taken from the Stats carriage and the

Among the natives Of that country it
is the general belief that the left eve

once the left optics of human BEINGS of

thinking thereby to increase the bril-
