Horse Thieves Are Busy.
A team of valuable horses was stolen
Monday night from the barn of Amos
Shotta, who resides on his farm at the
Hagen church, Farmington township,
Clarion county, about a mile from Ty
lersburg. The thieves got many hours
start, as Mr. Shotts did not discover bis
lots until about five o'clock Tuesday
morning when he weut to do the chores.
A son of Dauiel Brewster, a mile or more
this side of the Shotts farm, saw the team
being driven by their home in the direc
tion of Tionesta shortly after midnight,
but thinking it was Mr. Shotts did not
give the alarm. The thieves also took a
fine new top buggy with black box and
red running gear, valued at f85, and a
good set of light driving harness. Tho
horses were a well matched pair of four-
year-old mares, steel gray in color, the
load borne being a trifle darker than the
other. They would weigh about 1,200
pounds each, were very lively and good
roadsters. Mr. Shotts and Mr. Brewster
traced the rig clear to Tionesta by the
manner In which one of the horses was
shod. Between two and three o'clock
Tuesday morning several parties saw the
rig being driven rapidly through town In
charge of two men and beard tbem cross
the river bridge. The lat trace of them
was at 'Squire J. C. Hoovler's, a mile
and b half up Hunter run, who saw them
pass his place going at a lively clip. All
these parties could describe the horses
and buggy, but attached no significance
to the fast driving. Sheriff Stroup and
Mr. Shotts went over into Crawford
cc unty Tuesday morning to see if they
could find any trace of the thieves or
the horses. Should they succeed lu get
ting away it will be a big loss to Mr.
Shotts, as be refused $150 for the bare
horses last week. Mr. Brewster's stable
was also tampered with, as he found all
the doors standing wide open In tho
morning.
Later news is to the effect that the
thieves doubled on their tracks and
crossed back to this side of the river, as
a team aud rig answering this descrip
tion, in charge of two men, crossed ou
the ferry at President at 10 o'clock Tues
day morning.

A Grand Old Man Passes Away.
From tbe Palo, Mich., Post we learn
of the passing away on the 2d of Septem
ber of a citizen once an honored uie.nber
of this community, Mr. Jabez Chapman
Percival, whose memory is still revored
by many of our older residents. Mr.
Percival was born at Greenbush, liens
salaer county, N. Y., Jan. 21, 181G, and at
the time of his death was therefore in the
91st year of his age. Iu 1810 he was
married to Polly Cautield Brooks, of
Olean, N. Y. As a result of this union
six sons were born, four of whom sur
vive. In 18T)7 the family moved from
Olean to Newtown Mills, Forest county,
where they reinainod until 1868, when
they removed to Palo, Mich., whore the
aged couple continued lo reside until
called to a blessed reward beyond tbe
grave, the faithful, loving helpmate pre
ceding him to "that bourne' but a few
short years. Mr. Percival was carpenter
by trade, and as a matter of choice be
continued to follow that avocation to
within a short time of bis demise, re
taining his physical vigor and mental
faculties in a remarkable degree to tbe
end. He loved to commune with nature,
aud while he resided in this community
found much tune to indulge in the pleas
urable pursuit of the wild deer and other
game which abounded in those days, a
pastime we understand he fouud much
pleasure and recreation in after he had
reached the great age of 80 years.
It was in the church where the charac
ter of this venerable patriarch shone
brightest, and where his work of more
than seventy years told most for tbe
cause of christiauity. At the age of six
teen years he united with the Methodist
Episcopal church, and ever afterward he
was faithful, loyal aud energetic in the
Master's cause. In bis daily walk and
conversation he was upright and honora
ble, having the profound respect of young
and old alike, a grand old man whom
everybody loved and revered. At bis
funeral bis four surviving sous, James,
Fred, George and Will, his grandson
Charles H. Percival, aud Ira S. JelTers, a
friend of many years' standiug, acted as
pail-bearers, and bis body was laid to
rest beside that of his beloved wife.

and barus and fences.
One mau in ten will buy a gold brick
or groeu goods, if be has the money and
gels a good chance.
Devoe at $1.75 a gallon Is better than
cold: adultorated and short-measuro
paints are green goods and gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, of the
labor and wages of painting; it is all
paint; full strength and full measure,
There is no othor such paiut within ten
per cent. Ten percent of labor and paint
is w.irth saving; and ton Is the leant.
There are scores of paints that throw
away half of both gallons and labor on
whiting, china-clay, ground stone, ba
rytos, benzino, water all they are good
for is to make gallons of nothing and look
like paint in the can; more gallons to
buy and more gallons to pay for putting'
on gold bricks and green goods. Here's
bow they work.
Judge I. D. Fairohild owns two bouses
exactly alike in Lufkin, Texas. J. II.
Torrence painted both houses; one De
voe, ol4 gallons; the other with another
paint sold at snme price; 25 gallons,
That 25 gallon paint is weak and 15 por
cont whiting; that's why it took D'4 gal
lous more.
