May, the liveryman, went to feed his horses be found that one of his most valuable animals "Tobe" by name, was missing. During the night some one had forced an entrance through the carriage room just north of the office and unhitched Tobe from the snanger. The thief also took a fine saddle and bridle. Mr. May at once had his hostler, Thomas Huff, drive to Martinsville and if possible apprehend the miscreant. About noon Dr. Whitted cale d at the stable and informed Mr. May

that lie had met a young colored man rained Wm. Oliver just this slide of Ellettsville, about daylight, with the horse in his possession. Dr. Whitted knew the animal and also the man, and thought it probable that Oliver had driven to Spsncer. Nolan Thomas of that city, who happened to be in town, said he would have Oliver arrested if that gentleman proved to be in Spencer when he arrived there. In all probability he has by this time been placed under arrest. Oliver is a half-witted fellow, well known about town, and was recently an inmate in the insane hospital at Indianapolis. Later Oliver was arrested at Spencer late yesterday evening and placed in jail. The horse was recovered. Chief Owens will drive over today and return with Oliver this afternoon. UNDER ARREST.

A flan Charged with Robbing Robert Burns. A few days ago there appeared in these columns an account of the robbery of Robert Burns, of the northern part of the county. A man giving his name as Bai.iey Martin has been arrested for the crime and is now in jail at Martinsville. The Leader says that in the preliminary trial c.f Martin, Burns was the first witness called and he testified that he had something over two hundred dollars on his person, and that the same was taken away from him. Ho did not identify Martin as the man who took it. The prosecution introduced evidence showing that Martin spent considerable money immediately after Burns was robbed, and other circumstantial evidence. The defendant was not put on the stand so the story of the defense has not been given out. See Morgan & Baker and get a nice Buggy for your better-half aud save money. MOORE MARRYING.

Taken by the Township Assessors and Complied by the Bureau of Statistics. At the earnest solicitation of this Bureau, the laft Legislature enacted a law making it the duty of the Township Assessors of the State, at the time of the assessment of property (in April and May,) to collect such statistical information as the Chief of the Bureau might require. Under this law forms of blanks containing the questions below were prepared and sent to t e County Auditors, who furnished the Assessors with the blanks necessary for their work. As required by the law, the Assessors have made thir reports to this office, where ' J have been tabulated, and show the results as given. The Bureau is under obligations to the County Auditors, and also to the Assessors, who have done the work, and whose reports show evidences of care and intelligence. The figures we give are in no case estimates, but are the re? u Its of questions asked every farmer in 1 the State by sworn officers of the State. These show a total acreage in the various crops of 10,338,766 as compared with 9,691,337 last year, being an increase of 647,429. The Bureau has, in addition, made estimates as to crop yields. The. first of June blanks were sent every As"eesor in the Sfate, sisking for an estimate of the wheat yield per acre ; replies were received from more than seven hundred, which, when tabulated, gave an estimated yield of 7 77-100 bushels per acre, which counting the entire acreage, making no allowances for abandonments would have produced something Over twenty-one million bushels. Again, th' first of July, having procured the names of the owners of threshing machines in more than 800 of the 1,016 township in the State, blanks were sent each asking them as soon as the' had threshed six jobs to enter on the blank the number of aires in each job. and the number of bushels in each job. The Bureau has received 252 replies, coming from 71 of the 92 counties, showing 55,520 acres threshed, and making an average yield of 8 o-10 bushels per acre. Taking this as an average, rather than the estimates of the Assessors, and counting the entire acreage of 2,748,210, would give a yield of 21,353,591. The abandoned or uncut acreage in the State was very large. The best estimates the Bureau has been enabled to get puts it at 8 per cent. ; this deducted from the actual acreage of 2,748,210 would give the acreage threshed at 2,52S,354. which, at 8 3-10 bushels per acre, would give Indiana's wheat crop at 20,985,338, as against 50,793,620 for last year, as shown by the report of this Bureau.

Boyd Cron yesterday moniiug recevived a telegram from Mac Wilson at Bainbridge stating that "Dr. Snyder" hh fast and valuable pacing horse was dead after a short illness.

Ou last week the horse had mad e some good time ou the track at the fair ground where he was in training and seemed to be in the best of health. Dr. Snyder was one of the best known horses iu the state and had a record of 2:174 on a half mile track. He was seven years of age and was purchased by Cron & Son at the age of two years. The gentlemen have for the past live years entered him in many races, both at home, in the state aud abroad. He has paced a mile in 2:15 but ho was given a track record at Franklin two years ago of 17. He was a line looking bay stallion. He was i red by the trotting stallion "Duquesue" having a record of 17: and Dam "Pusspatchen." The horse has u long pedigree aud

comes from blooded stock. The loss is quite a severe one to Mr- Cron as he had great hopes of the horse's future success; he having iu the paat pulled down many stakes. Mr. Cron went to Bainbridge yesterday to ascertain the nature of the horse's death. Dr. Snyder was the hero of many hard fought battles -The power to race "week iu and week out" is a quality that all campaigners must possess to be classed iu that category. That Dr. Snyder had clearly proved worthy to be so classed, no one cau gainsay after reviewing his performances the past season. During tha early part of the racing season just passed Dr. Snyder fell a victim to the yet unnamed disease that incapacitated so many horses from racing, and for six weeks was practically out of training. It was thorforeforo quite ate before he was iu condition to

take preparatory work, but when once "rounded to" from his ailment he was not long in showing himself capable of meeting his adversaries in "grim visage war." Most of his races took place over half mile tracks, the summaries of which show him to be an exceptionally game and consistent performer. During his racing career as a four and five year ol d he was first nine times, second four times and unplaced once. Dr Snyder also started at Waukesha, Wis. , Goshen, Ind, and Lexington, Ky., and at the first two placs won the lion's share of the money, and in the Lexington race, for the first time in his life, finished behind the money. As a four year old he was started six times and won six first moneys, and retired with a mark of 2:510, made over a half mile track. He has gone in 2:14.
