O. Huckuum a horse. After tho trade
was made, the buyer, while inspect
ing tho auimal admiringly, detected
a Htrikiug reeomblauce to a horse
that was stoleu from him four years

strawborty marks, or whatever ahorse
that has escaped from the fold has for
that method of private identification,
aud fouud it exactly whore it for
merly was, aud ho wbj convinced that
he hud recovered his long lost equine.
Dr. Greeulee tolls a straight story
as to how thu horse came into bia
possession; says ho traded for it, aud
uo amount of cross quostiouiug could
shake his testimony. It is therefore
probable that, iu the abseuuo of evi
dence to couvict, he will uot be prosecuted.
