A Horse Tratusaettoe.
A young man of this city is in difficul
ty if certain statements are true. It is
alleged that a few days ago he was in
New Castle, where he hired a team of
bay , horses and a fine decade buggy.
Bringing the turnout to Pittsburgh, he
finally succeeded, after several unsuc
cessful negotiations, in selling the ani
mals, oned'or seventy-five d ol
l s ea
the
other for sixty. Previously he had
been keeping them in a livery stable on
Third avenue, and one of the firm upon
learning the price at which the horses
had been sold—far beneath their value—
telegraphed to New Castle. In answer
an (Meer arrived in the city with a war
rant for the young macre arrest on a
charge of stealing the horses from Mr.
Charles Nov% proprietor of kinky
stable at New CaStle. Mr. Norris re.
covered his horses, and his case will
likely end there, as the friends of the
young man have agreed to pay' all the
expenses incurred. The accused is quite
Oting; and there is talk, so it is said, of
hqving him committed to Abe House of
Refine.'
