It Is learned from the Miltonian that on Wednesday night Inst week, between one nnd two o'clock, a burglar entered tho house of C. A.

His entrance was not made noiselessly, ns Mrs. God diaries heard him nnd saw him make ids way to tlio bureau. Before she could alarm her husband, who was soundly sleeping, the chief had rilled Mr, God diaries' clothes of his gold watch, a very valuable one, and sum of money reaching over 200. When Mr. Godclmrles awaken ed ho followed in the direction of the thief to the window and saw him descend tho ladder, while below on the pavement stood nn accomplice of the the thief who pointed a revolver nt him. nnd told him to with draw his head or lie would be shot. This request seemed reasonable enough nnd wns promptly' complied with. The thieves then made oft, up the alley In the rear of tho Front street lots.

'Many of our people know but very little about the selecting of a good horse, and the following from the ltrf, Field and Farm will prove of Interest i In buying ahorse, first look at tho head nnd eyes for signs of intelligence, temper, courage and honesty. Unless n horse has brains you cannot teaeli him to do any tiling well. If bad qualities predominate In a horse, education only serves to en. large and Intensify them. The head Is nn indicator of disposition. A square muzzle, Willi large nostrils, evidences an ample breathing apparatus and lung power. Next see that ho is well under tho jowl, with jaw bones broad and wide apart tin. der the throttle. Breadth and fullness be tween the cars nre always desirable. The eyes should bo full and hazle In color : ears smalt and thin and thrown well for ward. The horse Hint turns his cars hack every now and then is not to bo trusted. Ho is either a biter or n kicker, and is sure to be vicious in oilier respects, and, being naturally vicious, ho can never bo trained to do anything well ; and so a horse witti n rounding nose, tapering forhcad, nnd a broad, full face below tho eyes is always treacherous and not to bo depended on. Avoid the long-legged, stilted animal al ways choose ono with n short, straight back and rump, withers high and shoulders sloping, well set back, and with good depth of chest, fore logs short, hind legs straight with low down hock, short pastern joints and a round: mulish shaped foot. A IMocc of Advice. Tliu following article, from the Chicago Tribune, tells a good deal of truth in a few words s What tells so readily the standard of a town or city as the appearence of its paper? And Its youth or its age can as well be determined us by a personal notice. The enterprise of its citizens is depleted hy Its advertisements, their liheiatity by the looks of the people. Some papers show a good, solid, healthy founiidatlon, plethoric purses, and a well-to-do appearence goner ally : others show a striving to contend with the grasping thousands around them, trvinc to wrench out an existenco from a close-llsled community around them. An occasslonol meteoric display in its col- umns of a telegraph or local, or of editor ials, shows what it can do if it had th meuns, but it cannot continue its expensive work, until support conies which ought to be readily granted. .V newspaper is like a church : it wants fostering ; then it can relict credit on its location. Take your home paper. It gives You more news of immediate interest than New York or other papers j it talks for you when other localities belie you ; it stands up for your rights; yon always have a champion in your home paper, and those who stnnd up for you should certain ly bo sustained. Your interests are kin- dred and equal, mid you must rise or fall together. Therefore, it is to your interest to support your home paper s not grudg ingly but in a liberal spirit, as a pleasure, not us a disagreeable duty ; but as an in vestment that will amply pay the expend! lure.

On Wednesday afternoon, of last week, toward evening, a little daughter of Ed- ward Jacobs, of this town, was coming Iiome alono from the celebration and pic nic held at Hupcrt, over tho four hun dredth nnnlversnry of Martin Luther, when n brute, by tlio name of Charles Cook, fol lowed her and ran after her until ho cnught her. Then lie tied her to a fence by tho roadside, until ho took oft her little shoes and stockings ; after that being done, he stripped his own feet of his shoes and stockings, then loosened her, picked her up, started to wndo big Fishing Creek, tell ing iter ho wns going across, mid if she did not keep quiet lie would put her in the water and drown her. But, fortunately for the little girl, he was noticed by some hoys who were hi the creek, swim ming. They stnrted for him when attract cd by her shrieks, unit ho dropped her and ran, taking to the fields, until he reached town. He is a married man, aged about twenty-three years, with a wife and child in this place. The little girl got houie nnd told her mother. Her father, being at his work, wns sent for, nnd he proceeded at once to n justice's office, swore out a war rant against Cook and placed it in the hands of Constable Woodward, who soon after made the arrest. Cook was taken before John M, Clark, esq., and bound over to the September term of Court. Not be ing able to get any ball ho went to jail. The above arc substantially the facts as re lated by the littlo girl, and in part corrob orated by the boys who wcrs in the crock. She is between eight and nine years old, of humble but rsspectablc parents. Her fath er is a linker in this town. iXHeaHcH of AnlmalH. Messrs Editors. As I rend an article in your paper on diseases of sheep uud cattle, I am satisfied that the author is wrong in some of his ideas as to sheep snots or stag gers the. parasites that ho thinks Is caused through hcrbago is from a long fly that stings or lays their nits in the noso of the sheep. If the sheep is kept long In one place by watching them you can see tho fly strike them, fly away very quickly and the sheep will run and rub their uoscj the sound of the fly will make them run. s sulphur is dentil to insects, feed tlio sheep a teuspoonfull of the hard brimstone, to cacli sheep once a week. 2 or 3 doses will euro them. I have used it for a num ber of years and it lias not failed. As well ns in diphtheria it Is n suro cure. For cat tlo it is the best medicine I have used. For yellow water and other diseases nrlswatscl or rowl root, dose a largo table spoonful of roots cut fine repeat tho dose 2 or 3 days once a day. In more than 20 cases I have not lost. Hut there is one disenso the name I can't give but tho cow will swell at tho navel and the milk will stop to flow in u very short time. A handful of polk root will cure it very soon. Now the idea of those parasites passing through a body thence lu tho herbs, thence through tho stomach of the beast is all fudge ; us nil flesh and the water wc drink Is made part ly of living material therefore whenever the system gets diseased or the flesh dead then they work but not before. What I havo written I can sustnntlate and if you think it woitli room in your columns it may save some man's stock, If lie will try tlio medicines as above. Deceit) Recorded.
