TII E EAG LE. “nKBS iTplikol TEE COUNTY. ’ . _ ... LOCAL & MISCELLANEOUS. FRIDAY, jaro. 29, 1866. HjUEtil - —. J T Mew Adverti-iementa. £T Sheriffs Sale—Jacob Styljw, f * Hot Weather.—The weather ha’ bean unusually hot for the season, during the week, the thermometer ranging as high as 95 degrees, Farenheight, in the •hade. PiCNio.—The Catholic congregation of this place have made extensive preparations for a picnic on th« Fourth, the proceeds of which will be used for the benefit of the church. Woot,.—Wool continues to arrive freely, prices continue at about 40 to 50 cents 'per pound. The outside figures paid du ring the Week being 53 cents, there hav ing been considerable competition among buyers. These prices, we think have been hardly exceeded in any market within the reach of our farmers. Wheat Crop.—Farmers of lata seem to be about as unreliable as the telegraph working up stnsaUooal itema—decidedly “panicky ” Last wtekthe wheat crop would t.ot be worth harvesting. This waek, while the Weevil are reported as baring destroyed considerable wheat, thare is every probability of harvesting a much better crop than last year, both as regards qusntity and quality. And we think the harvest will prove the truth of our statement.

Correcting Asses-ment Internal Revenue.—Col. H. Craven, district assessor of U 8. Revenue, for the 11th district, has beer, at the office of the deputy assessor as per appointment, during the week, hearing appea'a from the assessment list. There were but few complaints made, which were soon disposed Os. The Col. is an improvement on his predecessor, VV R. Pierce, who as the story goes, when appealed to in cases involving but a small amount Jhought them too trifling to receive attention, and cases involving a considerable amount concluded they were too Urge for him to assume the responsibility of a decision, with a wave of the hand dismissed them. AuorSa’s Report—We noglecte l io call attention to the farmers of hecoun’y as set forth in the report, last week Br reseting to the report it will be seen after redeeming all outstanding county orders issued prior to June Ist, there is a stir plus in the treasury of $247 17 Bounty •nd Volunteer fund the indebtedness of the county foots up $5,203 59. The transactions of the Other funds are interesting also. and taken together the report is a gratifying exhibit of the finances of the county, and the people may have just cause to feel thankful, that »nfd the ep idem'e of defaulting officials that has so extensively prevailed throughout the country for the last few years, they have not suffered through the weaknes«, imbecility, or dishonesty of their officials. Down With Horse Thieves—The Gre>yt Western Horse Insurance and De tective Company insures horses from theft for a small sum and also offers a standing reward of one fourth of the value of any animal which they have insured

on its being recovered, and 81,00 for the arrest and conviction of the thief. An description and measurement of -each animal is taken, including all marks OF brands, and in addition, all horses and mules are branded on the left fore foot with the letters “H I. Co.” A copr of thia description is, furnished the owner and one retained bytheeompany Policies ol insurance are transferable in case of sale, wh : ch is absolutely necessary as ■ the person would soon be arrested by the company's detectives without such transfer. And persons having'business away from the neighborhood where 'hey are . known, should put their policies in their pockets as evidence of ownership in case they meet with any of the detectives.— In case an animal that has been insured, is stolen, the person owning the same should inform the agent, also the Slate Office, so that prompt measures can be taken to arrest the thief and recover the horse. This is the only effectual remedy to nut an end to borse stealing. As a horse branded by the company is not salable without the policy, and in nine cases out of ten the thivf turns auimai so insured loose as soon as the brand is discovered. John King is agent for th* company and to whom applications should be made for insurance. He tp»y b* found at Decatur on Saturday of each wc*k.

Arrest of Horse Thieves—Deeper ate Fionr—Correction. —L<st we<k we noticed the arrest O' two horse thieves near Ossian, after a desperate fight.— Since we have learned that there was but. one man arretted, and die following is a correct account o< the affair: the I; rse was stolen on Thursday night, June 14th, the thief making bis way to this place, leaving the horse a short; distance in the Country, and was no less | a personage than J, C Carpenter On [ Friday morning three men arrived here' n pursuit. Carpenter being in town meanwhile and talked wish them, but | without exciting their suspicion. The men alter remaining a short time, ief t on ; the road to Fort Wayne, which they kept |as far as Middletown, and then struck I across to Ossian. Carpenter meanwhile, , reported that he was goint to Vanwert, | i but instead went to 0 sion where the parties met, end demanded his Surrender; but one of the men being too eager was disarmed by Carpenter, but in the mean time he was seized from behind bv on-- . of the others, and in endeavoring to ea cape struck backward with his pis’. ?' . , 1 injuring the man in ths sac- who ha i 1 • 11 loned him but by the as stance of <• others he was speedily overcome. Bluffton Banner says snjn after hi’ tuie, he attempted to throw away a large i amount of counterfeit postil currency. Carp- nt r first made his advent here some six months since, and claimed to be a Union refugee !cpm Ark mass During •he time he bought, sold, and tral-l hor 1 srs. making seveial trips to Dayton and Cincinnati, and would be absent several w eks at a time For sone time past there has been a large amonni o' counterfeit postage currency, and more la er|v counterfeit national currency ot dis ferent denominations, in circulation in His vicinity, and fir a con id r.ble time strong suspicions hav- rested on Carp-n- --, ter as die tn in who was engaged m its I introduction. Last week there was a gentleman here from Union, inquiring lor him, who stated that Carpcmer had given him a fifty dollar counterfeit note with other, money in payment fora horse. Carpent-r claims to have served on G-n Lew Wallace’s staff during the war, and is a tall, large, dark complexion-d p -weriul tn in, who for his late distinguished services, should be transferred to some of bur B'a’e institutions as a high ' private for a term of years. We have no ! use for such men running at targe. m ceivid oftjiate Insurance Coni pany One Hundred and Ft'tv Dollars, being full payment for loss and danuve under Policy No 2098; issued by said Company Slid loss and damage occurred June 9ih, 1866 Decatur, June 24' h. 1865 PERRY JOHNSON i State I.NscifANCE Company—There has been considerable said of lute coni cerning the business of Insurance as trans I . acted by some of our home companie', and especially in this vicinity oi those whose offices are located at Fort Wayne, j I There is we think, lust cause for dissat I faction in the manner with which they i j have c-inducted their business, but we will make one exception, the ‘'State , Company. This company has never i made an assessment upon its policy bold i era, and so far as we know, all losses ! have been promptly p->id in eash. The , late losses of Perry Johnson and J H. | Filling, of this conntv have drea l ? be. n adjusted and paid in a manat-r entirely , saiisiac'efr Vol ihe parties and honorable to the company The gfa'.e Company is in the hands of some of the most reliable m-n of Fori Wsyne who are conducting 'he husin- ss with a view of making -it a company that will stand the test of 'time, and we understand in Fort Wavne. where it is best known, it is rapi ilv be- ■ coming the popular company, and is in suring a large per cent of the new buil--1 dings erected there during the present season We are glad to notice the prosperity of at least one home comjany among many lai'ures, and hope that ere long the money paid tor insurance will go into the bands of local companies, and as far as possible retain our money at home, instead ot building up eastern capitalists, es is the case at present We notice we j are not alone in this view, as some of our : business men in town are renewing their I policies in the “State Company.” ~ < A rural editor, arriving in the city, came to the conclusion that there were . two things that were made to be lost—sinners and umbrellas. _____ I f Why are machine feeders-in like mil- t itary floggers?
