It wti mentioned in the last number of The Union that a couple of stores in Rensselaer had been burglarized a night or two previous, and that on the same night these offenses were committed a valuable horse was stolen from tbe neighboring farm of Samuel L. Sparling. Early next morning a jaded horse was found tied to a fence near the bridge over Carpenter's Creek at Remington which proved to be the one taken from Mr. Sparling. Subsequent inquiries elicit the fact that a man was seen early that morning, carpet-bag in hand, traveling down the railroad track towards Wolcott, at which place be boarded an eastern-bound train ■that had overtaken him. After robbing tbe stores in Rensselaer he probably started toward Remington on foot, but finding a horse at Mr. Sparling's, borrowed it to help him along his journey; considering the greater danger of detection with a stolen horse in his. poosession he left it at Remington and proceeded on his. way, The officers who slsrted in pursuit missed him by going vest from Remington instead PfeasL
