Peterson's Magazine for Decern
ber more than maintains Its unrivalled
character. There are two beautiful
steel engravings, besides a superb steel
fashion plate, the latter exquisitely
colored In addition, there is a mag

work, printed In colors, which at re
tail, would cost fifty cents: this is pre
sented to the subscribers of "Peterson"
as a Christmas gift. A charming
etory, "Mrs. Million" is as charmingly
illustrated. The number contains a
Supplement, with a fullttized pattern,
for a winter Paletot, the pattern alone
being worth more than the price of the
number. All these costly embellish
menta are afforded by the enormous
circulation of "Peterson," which, as
the publisher says, enables him to
give more or the money than any
other. We canot leave this subject
without speaking of the very high
character of the stories in "Peterson."

Horse Thieves.
On Saturday night last, at Farming
ton Centre, Warren county, a team of
horses were stolen from the barn of Mr.
Samuel Garfield. The buggy had evi
dently been taken from the barn and
returned, f.r Mr. Garfield had run It
under the shed with the tongue out,
and It waa found In the morning In an
opposite position. At Mr. Brown's,
Mr.. Garfield's father-in-law, and a
short distance from the latter'a place, a
top buggy, buffalo robes, whip, etc.,
were stolen. Aa Mr. Garfield was
going home on Saturday evening he
noticed two suspicious characters near
his house, and who took particular
notice of the team he drove.
On the discovery being made, Sun
day morning, that the horses were
gone from the stable, the owner of the
stolen team, together with Ira Burget
and John Dunn, started In pursuit
The fugitives were tracked through
Warren, In the direction of Sugar
Grove, by the peculiar shoes with which
the horses were shod. After going
some distance the thieves changed
their course and took an opposite di
rectlon from the one first started in.
After following the track for fifteen
miles the pursuers were within about
three miles of their starting point and
in the direction of Sheffield, at which
place Constable John Allen Joined the
party and the chase was continued
through the Warren woods, the runa
ways being sighted about three and a
half miles from Rldgway, near James
Rickard's house. Shots were fired by
the pursuers and returned by the pur
sued without any taking effect, save in
the back of the top buggy which the
thieves were driving, In which seven
bullet holes were counted. Near Rick
ard's James Gardner ran out to stop
the horses, and was shot at by the oc
cupantsof the buggy, who, finding the
game was up, jumped and tied. The
next thing we hear of them they are
seen on the Shawmut railroad. Sheriff
Oyster, Deputy Wensel, Constable
Horton and Al. Brown, with a rifle
started to make the capture.
It is supposed they only went a few
rods into the woods from the place they
left the buggy, and then regaining the
turnpike the next morning walked
through Rldgway a little after day
light.
Sheriff Oyster was on horseback, and
passed the men on the Shawmut road,
but, as he knew the chaps were armed
and as four men had undertaken to
arrest them and failed, he concluded to
push on and get help and nab the lads
as they struck the ttrockwayvilie road.
When the sheriff met them he said
" It's pretty rough walking," and they
agreed with him exactly. It is evident,
from the fact that they did not come
out to the road, that they knew the
sheriff and turned to one aide, taking
the path over Boon's Mountain. One
of the parties is supposed to be Frank
Ryan, a noted character in this section,
and who has already served out a term
in the penitentiary. The chase was
given up, ami the dealers in other
men ure Uewii are still at large.

Friday afternoon, says the Sunbury
American Daily, as the passenger train
going south had emerged from the
bridge at the narrows and was ap
proaching the crossing, Mr Henry
Shipe. seated on a wason loaded with
corn, applied the whip to his horse
ana attempted to cross in front of it.
The horse was a little slow In res Don d-
ing, however, and the pilot of the lo
comotive which came rushing up
struck the back part of the wagon
with such force that both wheels were
wrenched off, the corn sent flying in
every direction, and Mr. Shlpe thrown
out. The train was stopped and sev
eral passengers got out to see the result
of the accident, while Mr. Chas. Garin
ger, who waa working near by dropped
bis tools and hastened to render what
assistance might be needed. All ex
pected, of course, to fiud Mr. Shir
severely injured, but, remarkable aa
it may seem, he arose from where be
l ad fallen and proclaimed himself un-
hnrt. Aa a proof of his sound condi
tion he walked to a nelsrhbor'a bor-
rowed another wasron and. Aomlno-
back, reloaded bis ooro and drove on.
Mr. Ship la 76 yean of aare. and how
ha withstood such a sever shock is
marvelous. j
