On the night of Friday, the Oth of May, a horse was stolen from the premises of FRANK TOWNER, near Rome, Pa. The next day the thief was captured at Owego, by Sheriff ROB ertson, and lodged in the Towanda jail. When he was asked for his name, he said it was FRANK TWEESEU, and remarked that it was a good enough name for that job. He said he lived in Pennsylvania; also said he lived in Albion. Mr. TOWNER and the officer in Owego searched for the horse but could not find it. On Sunday last JOHN SMITH, Jr., had oc casi >ll to go into a piece of woods on his farm on the hill just back of the narrows on the other side of the river, where he found a horse hitched to a tree nearly starved to death. The horse was indentified as the one belonging to Mr. TOWNER, which had been stolen on the Oth of May. The horse had had nothing to eat in sixteen days but what it could get around the tree, and when found could scarcely walk.— Owego Times. The large number of parents and friends who were present at the closing exercises of the Graded School Friday afternoon must have been very gratifying evidence to Prof. 15URGAN and his assistants, that their oner ous labors are appreciated. The exercises were in the main highly cred itable to teachers and pupils. The choruses were without exception well rendered. The instrumental duet by MAUI> ALLEN and FRANKIE KUYKENDALL and the vocal duet by FRANKIE TURNER and EVA STEPHENS, won the young Misses much credit. A dia logue, " Little Mushroons," by three little girls, was a pleasing feature. A motion song bv the " C Primary" grade was prettily exe cuted and well received. The recitations were fine, particularly those of MAUD SKIFF and little LIZZIE MERCUR. EVAN MUIR declaimed "The Execution of Montrose" well. A wand cxerci-e by the "15 Junior" grade, showed much carefu' training. A solo by Miss ROSA ROAR DM AN was enthusiastically applauded. The most prominent performance was a di alogue by the members of the Senior classes, the girls, part decorated in " blue" and part in •' gray," representing the several states of the Union, spoke first in order of the original thirteen then in order of the admission. After the final chorus, the names of lti-t pu pils who had successful}' passed the examina tion for promotion were read.
