Stolen Property Recovered.
About eleven weeks ago a man hired
a horsoand buggy of Daniel Scribncr,
livery stable keeper at this place, to go
and see his brother, who lived near
Clarington. After a reasonable length
of time, the property not being re
turned, Mr. Scribncr drove to Claring
ton to see about it The chap had been
to see his brother and had gone on,
and left no trace behind neither trnee,
or vehicle, or horse. I-ast week a tele
gram was received by Postmaster Hng
rty, addressed to the livery stable
keeper at Ridgway, and saying ahorse
and buggy were at a certain place in
Mutlcr county. Mr. Scribner, from
the description, knew at once that tho
property Was the same he had hired
the man to make the trip to see his
brother. The horse and buggy were
found by their owner at the farm of
Mr. Kcyster, In Slippery Rock town
ship,. Butler county, about 130 miles
from home, and nearly 35 miles right
across the country from Parker. The
thief, who proved to be Jerry Hall, a
notorious character in the oil regions,
although unknown to Mr. Keyster,
had left t he horse to board until he
should call fo'rit. On several occasions
he tailed to get the property, but fall
ing to pay for the horse's board he was
not permitted to take him. On one
occasion he wanted to take the horse
and leave the buggy and harness for
security, this on pretext that he had
sold the horse and would return and
pay for his board. Mr. Keystvr's sus
picions were aroused and he declined
to allow the horse to go without the
money being paid; Mr. Scribner
brought his property home, and thinks
the thief may yet be caught, which
would be some slight compensation for
the $50 or $60 expense which he has
been to. Jerry had previously served
a term in the penitentiary, and, be
sides had just stolen two suits of
clothes, which, with the theft of the
property in question, would entitle
him to another term in the same
place, which we hope he may receive.

The Advocate is authority for the

Company O, Clarion "Infantry,"
turnclt out fifty eight strong at the in
spection at Meadviile on Tuesday,
being the largest in numbers. As to
size of the men it took the palm. Thos
Near, a youthful member, just twenty
one, stands six feet eight inches high
in his Stocking feet, and is still grow
ing. 1 hen there twenty-six members
six feet and over. The company were
complimented highly on theirsoldierly
appearance and gentlemanly deport
ment; All of which makes us feel
proud of our boys.
The not unusual verdict rendered of
" not guilty 1ml to pay the eiwts," half
or whole, as the case may to, seems to
us one of the anomalies of justice, and
reminds us of an obi story. In tho
plantation times a Maryland planter
sent hi? trusty colored man to Alexan
pria to buy the annual supply of her
ring and Hhad. He arrived home in
due season. "Basil, said the planter,
"did you get a good lot of fish?" "Only
tol'able, Massa John." "What the
devil do you mean by tol'able, ,; said
the planter. "Dey only stink u little, '
said Basil. Which is a better defini
tion of the word tbitn any dictionary
gives, and seems to cover what the jury
in such cases evidently desire.
The court were rather startled at un
incident that transpired on Thursday
last. A woman in the court room who
held a -baby, the paternity of which
was to be proved before that tribunal,
became wearied of the law's delay.
Taking the babe, a stout youngster of
about a .year old, she carried it to the
end of the judge's seat, in front of
Judge Jer ks, and put it down at his
feet, stating who-e it was, and also that
she was tired of keeping it and the
court could take care of it. The as
tonishment of his honor can be better
imagined than described- The rigid
economy of our board of county com
missioners having prevented the pro
viding of the appliances requisite for
children of that age, the kind hearted
judge was forced to cull in the services
of Sheriff Dunkle to remove the par
ties. This he did umid an audible
smile from the members of tho bar
and the audience.
Peterson's Magazine is already on
our table for January, a triumph of art,
literature and fashion. Either of the
two steel engravings, "The Play
mates," or "The Letter at the Gate,"
is Corth the price of the number. Then
the treble sized colored pattern, "Per
sian Embroidery in Applique, etc," the
very nev est thing out, would be cheap
at fifty cents. As for the mammoth
colored fashion plate, it is simply un
rivalled ; and besides this, there are
some thirty other fashion illustrations!
Then, too, there Is a supplement, with
a full-sized pattern for a winter man
tilla, the very latest style. To praise
the stories In " Petersen is unneces
sary; they are always original, and
always the best. Two powerful novel
ets are begun, one by Ann S. Stephens,
another by Jane G. Austin ; and In
addition there ure stories by Frances
Hodgson Burnett, Rebecca. Harding
Davis, Frank Lee Benedict " Josiuh
Allen's Wife," etc., etc Now is the
time to subscribe. "Peterson" is un
questionably the cheapest and best of
the ladies' books. The price is only
two dollars a year. To clubs" it is
cheaper still, viz: 4 copies for $6.50,
with an extra copy gratis to the person
getting up the club, or 5 copies for $8,
and both an extra copy and a superb
premium engraving, " Christ Blessing
Little Children." Specimens of the
magazine sent gratis to persons wish

Messrs. Gresh ami Hyde prospected
for coal back of "'. C. Geary ' resi
dence, hist week. . They found two
veins, the upper vein about two and
one-half feet thick, and the coal of
good quality, but as no roof could be
made solid enough toadmitof its being
worked, another vein was found, ulso
an excellent quality of coal, about
eighteen inches thick. As boou as the
weather will admit another vein will
be opened, when it Is thought coal will
be found in paying quantities. The
opening of a paying coal field in this
immediate vicinity would be a source
of much wealth to KidgWay, and that
the finding of such a field is w ithin the
range of possibilities we think will
not admit of doubt. These hills are
not worth much for agricultural our.
poses, but may they not abound in that
wnlcn is of far more worth ? .

Athehton,
Teacher.
An eagcrand unknown young man
called upon a clergyman in Warren,
R. I., day or two ago, and said he
wished him to marry him to a young
lady later In tho day, and hud set his
heart upon $5 as the fee that he should
pay for the important service ; but,
unfortunately, he had but $3, und
would like to borrow $2 of the clergy
man to put it in the envelope with it.
The clergyman was worldly wise, and
the youth went away without the $2.
And he did not come back to be married.
