Horse Thikt arrkstbd. Last night
bout half past eight o'clock, nlgbt watch
man Peter Kinney, arrested a man named
John W. Jones, a laborer on the Warren Jt
Venaogo Railroad, charged with horso
teallng. Tbe circumstances connected
with tba affair appear to be as follows: Oo
Monday night Inst, Mr. Samuel T. Nelll, of
Tituaville, bid a valuable burse stolen from
his stable in that city. Telegrams wore
sent to different points In tbe region for the
officers to be on the alert, and here tba mat
ter rested for tbe time being. About half
past three o'clock yesterday morning, Mr
Kinney noticed a short sized man leading a
horse through tb town by tbe baltar. tor
tbe momsut be supposed tbe man bad rode
In alter a phyaiclau, and so let tbe matter
drop, alter taking particular notice of tbe
man and horse. Laat evening, however,
be waa accosted by Mr. Levi, a Rousnville
clothing dealer, who asked Ills assistance in
arresting a man lor obtaining a suit of
clothes under lalse pretences, describing the
man, and also stating that be ws a horse
thief. Mr. Kinney turned round at Ibis mo
meot, and "spotted" tbe identical man
walking along but a abort diatance away,
who bad passed through leading a borse the
night be lore. It was but tbe work, or a mo
meat to arrest Jones, wbo owned up to tbe
whole affair. Said be bad stolen the borse at
Titusvllle; walked down the Creek leading
the animal all tbe way as far as Rouseville,
where be sold tbe horse to a men named
Phillips, receiving therefor $50 in green
backs aod a note for $75. Immediately af
ter ho gave tbe note to Levi lo exchange
Tor tbe suit of clothing, and alter receiving
the clothing Immediately left- Levi, In tbe
meantime, became alarmedand . followed
Jones np to Tarr Farm, and demanded tbe
clothing, Jones replying by kuooking him
down with a stone. Tblsdid not appear to
Intimidate Levi to any great extent as no
followed bis man up to tbls place, where
the arrest was mado as above stated. Mr.
Kinney beld the prisoner for a abort time,
and then turned blm over to officers Atweli
aud McHugb, who plaoed him in tbe lock
up for sale keeping.
This morning. Chief of Police Rouse and
Mr. Nelll appeared before Justice Reynolds
with 'the proper warranto, and the prisoner
was turned over to tbein. lie was takeu lo
Tituaville on 12:20 freight train. Before
they arrived, Mr. Levi brought suit against
Jooes for obtaining goods under false pre
tences. Ou tbls charge, (or want or suffi
cient evidence, tbe prisoner was discharged
Much credit is due watebman Kinney for
bis promptness in arresting Jonea, and be
la justly entitled to tbe reward or $50 offer
ed by Mr. Nelll, and we are pleased to learn
it will be paid to him. As faithful a watch
man as be is entitled to a "streak of luck''
once In a while mora especially when gfee
has fairly earned It.

Roman'tig iv Truk. A strange story Is
told of a Boston womsn wbo sailed many
years ago, being then a girl of eighteen,
with her missionary husband, for India.
"Tbe vessel was wrecked," we are told, oo
the Arabian coast, aod all on board petists
ed save ber husband and herself. lie was
preserved ouly to tall a victim to Arab
cruelty and she to Arab slavery. While ber
beauty lasted she waa the favorite wile of
tbe moat powerful chief In tbe South Are
bian desert, but when that waned, she fell
from ber 'bad emence,' and waa transfened
to tbe barem of an inferior sbrlk. And so
abe lived, praying for death, but not daring
to die, till, ;bandnrd from one barbarian to
another, abe, a Boston lady, In whose veins
Bowed tbe purest Puritan blood, found her
self the wife of an Arabian water carrier.

H there is any environment wbieb can de
grade a human being or harden a yoong
beart, it Is tbe atmosphere of merely fash
ionable lite. Yon may takd the tenderest
and most beautiful girl, the one that is
kindest at borne, and loves ber father and
mother best, and put ber .Into tbe highest
circle of fashionable life,, with plenty of
money and plenty of scope to do as she
pleases; lot ber dress herself as aba will;
cover bere'ir with diamonds and pearls,
costly silks and laces; let tbe love of ad
miration become tbe controlling passion;
and by and by all tbo tenderness ol that
young nature passes away; ber thoughts
concentrate upoo herself, what a figure she
ia cutting, wbo her admirers are, what con
quests abe can make; and by aod by tbe
youthful, beautiful modeaty Is gone, and
the way is open for vice that, in the begin
Ing, would not have been dreamed of, or if
thought or, put away as utterly impossible.
A short time ago a little babe in Portland
Maine, died, and, as is sometimes tbe case,
was laid away In tba bureau drawer till
the funeral. The day of the funeral came,
and the bereaved was convulsed with grief
over the little casket, and sobbing, laid it
all away In tbe cold ground. On ber re
turn home she thought she would go to tbe
drawsr and gaze once mora at tba place
which would henceforth be consecrated,
when what should meet ber eyes, when tbe
drawer was opened, but tbe lifeless corpse
of tbe child I bat bad been entirely forgotten
in preparation for tbe funeraf.
We And tbe following notice of C lrncroES
& Dixie's Minstrels, in the Tidioute Jour
nal.
The minstrel performance last nigbt drew
crowded bouse, and was first'ClaES in all
respects. Some of tbe ballad singing, espec
(ally, was very fine, and was greeted with
bearty encores. Tbe end men were perhaps
not quite up to tbe standard that is, they
did not tbrow themselves into those con tor
tionswbicb delight the boys aod street
gamins, but taken as a whole the performs
ance was worth Its price In provoking mirtb
and driving away tbe "blue devils."
This excellent troupe will appear at Sober
Opera House, to morrow evening. Do no
fail to attend.
An Indiana gentleman, who loet two
wives within elgbteeo months, made tbe last
