THE EAGLE. FRIDAY, AUG. 9,1867. . Local fit Miscellaneous. New Advertisements. “Bee Hive ’—Geo. F. Russell. Two Horses Stolen.—On Thursday night last, considerable commotion was observed in the camp of the horse jockeys.— Several strangers were noticed prowling around, but strange to say, although their conduct was enough to excite suspicion, the raiders were unmolested. In the morning an iron gray was missing from the stable of Abram Crabs, bay from James Gilson’s stable, and a bay livery horse from Fort Wayne, from the stable of the Miesse House, subsequently found hitched to the fence on the Mud Pike road, just above the Catholic graveyard. As there was a valuable horse in the stable, at the time, that usually occupied the stall the livery horse was taken from, it is supposed the thieves in their hunry did not discover their error until too late, and not liking a horse so generally known, left him as above discribed. As soon as the citizens learned that two horses were stolen, they turned out promptly, and started out on the different roads in pursuit. Sheriff Stoops, and Robert Blackburn, were fortunate enough to strike their trail and succeeded in flushing the rascals near St. Marys, Ohio, and succeeded in capturing the horses. The thieves made a narrow escape under cover of the darkness.

This is about the first instance when there was a prompt and general pursuit of horse theives, and its success will, we hope, encourage the people ; to organize en masse and pursue theives until overtaken.

Is Decatur a Den of Horse Thieves ?—Our citizens in pursuit of the horse theives, last week, were in nearly every town and hamlet in a radius of forty miles, in search of the thieves. The inquiries they made were naturally followed on the part of the citizens of the places, by inquiring where they were from ? At the mention of Decatur, almost the invariable reply would be, that as they harbored horse thieves over there, they could not expect anything else but to have horses stolen, and they could not sympathize with men who permitted such outrages to continue from year to year without taking proper measures to protect themselves. This is plain talk from neighbor to neighbor, and our record, to our shame, shows that they have something more than rumor to found it upon. In a period of two years some thirty horses have been stolen from the neighborhood of Decatur.— Besides this, a considerable number of stolen horses have been recovered here, that either were, or had been in the hands of George FetiCk, and others run off a few hours before the owner appeared . and furnished an accurate description. If a horse was stolen within fifty miles of this place, the common expression has been “go to Decatut for him.” Under the circumstances, good reasons exist why our neighbors . ahould answer the question which forms the caption of this article in the affirmative. And if our people wish to relieve themselves of the unjust odium attached to them, by reason of the thefts committed in their midst, let them organize for their own protection, and take proper steps to apply the remedy. If they wish to encourage further .. lawlessness, continue to patronize those whom they have good rea/St>ns to believe belong to an extensive gang of horse theive's; associate, with them as' boon Companions. If they wish to discountenance them, the way is plain, and det them walk therein, and our people will cease to be robbed with impunity. For ourselves we intend to lash them whenever opportunity offers; We will neither ask or receive quarter; threats will not intimidate u», and when the people do not back us-RP We wiah .to leave this eoinmnmty. 1

Blackberries.—Blackberries are plenty at ten cents a quart. Wheat.—New wheat is selling at 8180@200 per bushel. Flour at six dollars a hundred. Low Water.—There is hardly enough water in the St Mary’s river to run an ordinary fire engine. Below the dam, large fish have laid up for a rise. Sold OuT.-—William Blackcburn has sold his interest in the grocery of Mann <fc Blackburn, to James H. Stone. The new firm will continue the business as heretofore. Changed Hands.—Mr. George Phillips has sold out the mail route, from Decatur to Fort Wayne, a Mr. Baughman becoming the purchaser. The four-horse coach, we understand, is to be withdrawn, and a two-horse hack take its place, for the present. To be Completed.—A subscription is in circulation to raise means to complete the Presbyterian Church, and also to procure a bell. Our liberal minded citizens can secure an opportunity to subscribe for the same, by calling on the pastor, Rev. A. B. Lowse.

A Ghost Story.—Last Friday some persons passing along the road in the neighborhood of the old Ross farm, between Pleasant Mills and Wilshire, were greeted with strange and unearthly sounds, and seeing nothing they fled in mortal terror. On the following night John Ault, Daniel Garwood, Warren Passwaters, John Thatcher, Daniel Avery and George Ross (blind,) proceeded to the place where these strange sounds had been heard, determined to unravel the mystery. With hair erect like the “quills of a fretful porcupine,” they wended their way to the supposed haunt of what all believed to be a genuine ghost. Arrived at the proper place the strange and unearthly noise again became audible, at which their awful terror increased. On looking over the fence, a white outline was discovered which on close inspection proved to be a veritable ghost; the spirit of a former inhabitant of this mundane sphere; an ethereal being . divested of its mortal tenement, and clothed in the traditional white of the regularly acknowledged orthodox ghosts. As their ears were greeted with the wailing of the spirit, and their eyes saw the vision, their knees quaked as if in the presence of his most awful majesty, the Prince of Hades. Their elected spokesman dumb with terror, Roop with commendable pluck made bold to address the apparition, when it beckoned him to follow ; climbing the fence he accompanied it a short distance to an old elm, when the ghost told him that he was the spirit of a man murdered for money and buried at this spot forty years before; that his murderers failed to find his money which was concealed in his boots; that if they would take up his remains and give them a Christian burial, in consideration thereof they might have his money; that they should excavate a space ten feet square and four feet deep.— After promising to meet them again on Sunday night, the ghost made a demonstration of a belligerent character, with his wings, intimating that the interview was ended, which so frightend Roop that he took to his heels and rejoined his companions; • The strange story soon spread through the neighborhood. and the following night some sixty or seventy were present, but the ghost failed to keep his appointment, on account of his retired disposition. For the same reason, for several successive nights there has been no further communication with the disembodied spirit. The parties are making preparations to ■dig for the treasure. We shall endeavor to keep our readers posted as to the result, and if they succeed in unearthing the money, we shall try and have them raise Captain Kidd, with a view of revealing his lost treasure. There is material here for a first class- ghodt story, but we are unprepared to-day to spin a yarn, and must content ourselves with relating veritable facts, as they come, to us. We believe the yarn, from the fact that it is dangerous to dispute it in the presence of the ghost hunters. '

In 1839 my case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers spread until in 1832, under the advice of my physicians I went to Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every medicine and Sid everything I could. I had to rest mJ arm on a cushion, and had not been able to C’ sc »•> to m y head for over a year. The discharg? from two ulcers was nearly a pint a day. A2'P u * ,at * on was recommended; but pronounced dan gcrous. I could not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend bro’t me an English physician who applied a salve with which hi said he had accomplished extraordinary cures in the hospitals in England. It commenced to relieve; I persisted in its use; it finally effected a perfect and entire cure. It is now 1848.’ It is five years since I had the appearance of a scrofulous sore, and my health has been good ever since. I procured the receipt of this wonderful article—this blessing of’humanity—and have called it “Page's Climax Salve,” and allow the public to use it or not as they choose. This is a brief but candid statement, given more fully in my circular. J. M. PAGE. Geneva, New York, December, 1848. New York, Oct. 16, 1866. “I have known J. M. Page, Esq., of Geneva, N.

Consumption Curable by Dr. Schenck's medicines. To cure Consumption, the system must be prepared so that the lungs will heat. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach must first be cleansed and an appetite created for good wholesome food, by these medicines will be digested properly, and good healthy blood made; thus building up the constitution. Schenck’s Mandrake’s Pills cleanse the stomach of all billious or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is nutricious as well as medicinal, by using the three remedies, all impurities are expelled from the system, and good, wholesome blood made, which will repel all disease. If patients will take these medicines according to directions, Con • sumption very frequently in its last stages yields readily to their action. Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. It does not follow that because the bowels are not costive they are not required, fpr sometimes in diarrhoea they are necessary. The stomach must be kept healthy* and an appetite created to allow 'Syrup io to act on the respiratory organs properly and allay any irritation. Then-all that is required to perform impermanent cure is to prevent taking cold. Exercise about the rooms as much as possible, eat all the richest food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the appetite craves ; but be particular and masticate well. f2dw.ea.mo.ly.

Take Time by the forelock. The miasma which generates epidemic fevers is now rising in clouds under ’ the blazing beams of the dog day sun.— Every living body, as well as refuse animal and vegetable matter, emits unwholesome vapours, and in crowded cities and the dense assemblages which business and pleasure call together the elements of disease are evolved. The pressure u pon every vital organ is never so great as in the second and third months of summer, and common sense teaches us that these organs require to be reinforced to meet it. We hold our lives, so to speak, on a ivpairtny lease, and this is the season when the process of dilapidation is most rapid, and repairs are most required.— Therefore build up, prop and sustain the powers of nature with that mighty vegetable recuperant, HOSTETTER’S BITTERS. He who takes it may be said to clothe himself in sanitary mail, against whicn epidemic disease will hurl its poisoned shafts in vain! This is no gratuitous assertion, but a great medical fact, attested by twelve years’ experience in every climate of the habitable globe.— Extremes of temperature always disturb the functions of the stomach, the bowels, the liver and the skin. It is through these that the most dangerous maladies assail us. Tone them in advance with HOSTETTER’S BITTERS, and defy heat and malaria. Manhood: How Lost, How Restored.
