"Karma-isf." The business of "rafting
in" timber, as it is called, was commenced in
this region in the early part of this week, in
order to have raits in readiness to run when
ever a freshet comes. The entire disappear
ance of the snow from the ground, and the
lircaking-up of the ico in the river, renders
the construction of rafts absolutely necessary,
thus early in the season, as it is not expected
that a freshet will be of sufficient duration to
permit of the construction and also the run
ning of rafts. We are not prepared to say
what quantity of timber, as compared' with
former years, will be taken to market this year ;
but that it will fall short considerably, is cer
tain. The early breaking up of the winter
prevented the hauling of much timber, and
the bad condition of the roads renders it ut
terly impracticable at present.
Capture of Alleged Horse Tuteves. On
last Wednesday evening, Charles Pierce and
Yfm. Smith were brought hero by Sheriff Ben
nett, of McKean county, and Mr. Robison of
Genesee county, X. Y., charged with having
stolen tho horse of John Shaw, Sr., who re
alties a couple miles from this borough, of
which we made mention last week. On a
heating before Justice Frank, the two men in
custody were recognised by Mr. Shaw as hav
iug'been at his house on Thursday. These
rnorj, belli of whom are young, had a sleigli
an ft a blin'I, soriel horse, and said they wore
o:nj to CurwensviKe. They proceeded to
the latter place, which is 6 miles west of our
town, put up "old sorrel" at Mason's tavern,
but n?Tt morning tlje men were missing. On
the s.irae night Mr. Shaw's horse and sleigh
were stolen. On Friday morning pursuit was
made, and the thieves traced to Germani.i, in
Potter county, where they had traded off the
horse and sleigh for another horse, a gun and
Home money 520, it is said. They both
counted the horse for which they had traded,
and rode oft ia great haste, but had not gone
T2ore than 10 or 12 miles Uefora they were
overtaken and captured. They were on the
waters of Kettle creek, about 4 or 5 miles a
bovo the Ola Bull settlement. The stolen
horse was last at Cushingville, Potter county,
no lame that he could not be brought back irj
dialely. The scamps exhibited a thorough
acquaintance of the country, and attempted to
lude pursuit by carrying the sleigh from one
road, across the intervening space, to another,
a distance of about half a mile.
On the same night, some tampering had
l-ecn done with the horses of Mr. Philip An
tra, two miles up th j river, and it is suspected
that the same persons that stole Mr. Shaw's
fcors- we re trying to help themselves, but as
aome of the family were tn Lite at night, in
consequence of sickness, they wcro scared off.
A:.- Esctrr, P.acs and Re capture. On
iionday aft-.-rcoon, about 5 o'clock, our town
was thrown into sudden commotion by the cry
t!.at the alleged horse-thieves "had broken j ul.
Instantly everybody was excited windows
were tossed up, out of v. Such popped the heads
of cm en and children men and boys ran
helter-skelter through the mud, making it fly
in all directions, in full chase after one of the
'birds," who was going at about a 2.10 pace ;
t ut a piece of jail "jewelry" attached to his
leg if jl his progress so much that his pur-
Ftook him in the brick-yard lot be-
low town, brought him Lack, and again safely
Judged him in "limbo." This was Charley,
the larger oi the two. The Sheriff had both
of them chained in a room up-sUirs ; but they
itticcceded in sawing open a couple links, with
n old case knife, and then tore down that part
cf the chimney next to and through the ceil
ing. Through this opening they ascended to
the garret, and were making preparations, by
tying together their bed-clothes, to lower
themselves out of the gable-end window, when
they were discovered by the Sheriff's wife, who
went to their cell with some food for them.
She Immediately informed her husband, who
ran to the garret, and succeeded in collaring
Bill, but the other fellow leaped out of tho
window, which Is about 2-3 feet from the
ground, took to his heels, but was caught, as
before stated. Charley Pierce and Bill Smith,
as-they call each other, ore evidently p Mast"
pair, and will doubtless severely tax the Sher
IfTs vigilance if he keeps them till our nest
Court, which meets in May. In the mean
time, they will bo ablo to fully appreciate tho
truth of tho "poick's" assertion that
"lie as prigs vot isn't hisen,
Ven he's cotched roust go to prison."
The Women Movikg. In the House of Kcp
resenUtires at Harrisburg, on Thursday, Mr.
Pureell presented a petition from thirty ladies
of Lewistown, praying for the passage of a law
eenring to women the elective franchise. A
member moved that the petition be referred to
a select committee composed of tho bachelor
members of the House, which was adopted.
The Sprtker appointed Messrs. M'Calmont,
Lonaker, Backhouse, niestand, Haines,
KniV.t, Vickers, Ramsey, Benson, Wagonsel
Jer, Westbrook, Calhoun and Eyster. These
4ftl!cwtcn are all bachelors, several past the

UyPleasant. The weather during the lat
ter part of the past week and the beginning of
the present, was as genial as In May. That's
scmething worth boasting of in Clearfleld.
CThe-Curwensville Saxe-Horn Band, we

on next Saturday evening. If they do up mu
sic as they do np everything else in Curwens

EPW. S. II. Keys, convicted in the Blair
county Court, of assault and battery on a girl,
was sentenced to uudergo three months im
prisonment in the county jail, and to pay costs
of prosecution, which one of the Ilollidays
burg papers states to be about $300.
C7Arrested B. C. Bachman, late Presi
dent, and David Longenecker, Cashier ot the

$50,000 of its lunds, by appropriating that a
mount to the payment of their own private in
debtedness. Tho former was held to bail in
$12,000, for a hearing to-day, and Longeneck
er in $24,000 to answer at Court.
7"Ttvo Women Frozen to Death. On the
17th of January two women were frdfcen to
death in the stagecoach between Muscodaand
Prairie dn Chien, Wisconsin. They declined
getting out at a hotel to warm, when asked by
the driver, stating that they did not sutler from
the cold as much as when they first started ; at
the next stopping place the' were found dead.
?"The way to wealth. Wo know, says the
Albany Journal, a respectable geutleman in
Monroe county, who many years ago, sawed a
cord of wood to pay in advance, his first year's
subscription for a newspaper. He is now in
his vigorous old age, worth a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars. Nothing like taking and pay
ing for a good newspaper, to ensure success
in life.
