A certain lawyer ot Carthage, Mo., attended 2 prayer meeting a few evenings ago, and being called on by the shepherd of the flock to lead in prayer, he readily assumed a recumbent position and delivered himself thusly: “*Know all men by these presents, that we, as devoted humble petition- ers, would offer up our teebdle peti- tions to the throne of grace, express- ing our heartfelt thanks to the Most High tor all the blessings of life, to wit: Life, health, strength, tood and raiment. And we would implore the Supreme Ruler to continue these blessings as aforesaid.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 7, AN OLD OFFENDER. —————~—____ A Negro Thief Who Has Been Carrying | on an Extensive Business in Horse Flesh. Nevada Mail. Officer Mapes passed through here yesterday en route for Fort Scott, with a negro man named Kouch, whom he helped capture near Rich } Hill,in Possession of stolen property. Speaking of the prisoner, the Fort Scott Tribune says: Kouch turns out to be one of the most notorious thieves in the country. He has been playing his vocation for years in | Western Missouri and Eastern Kan- sas with the most astonishing success Mr. Mapes gives the tollowinz record of Kouch since the 14th inst. On that date he stole a horse trom a | man named Turner, near Hoover, Mo. He rode the animal two miles and it refused to cross a bridge,when he was compelled to turn it loose. From here he went a mile and a halt beyon¢ and stole a mare, heavy with foal, from a Mr. Thompson. He rode this animal to the Rich Hill coal mines, where it got loose trom him and went back home. Kouch lounged about Rich Hill a few days ; and then stole a mare, colt and sad- dle from DeWitt Smith, three and a The not lead, so he turned it He brought the four mare to within miles of Fort scott. | Here he traded it off to J. W. Fair- man for a sorrel horse and cow. He left with man and brought the horse to Fort Scott, leaving it in the care of a colored the cow }man named Moore, in East Fort Scott. This was on the 23d. On | the night of the 24th he went to Lee Gray’s and stole his mares. On the 25th instant he traded one to a Mr. Shoemaker, near Girard,tor a buggy, set of harness and $25. The other Mr. Hershman for a big sorrel horse. He put this horse in the buggy he got trom Mr. Shoemaker and returned to Fort Scott. This was on last Saturday. He went to the house of the colored one he traded to a |man (Moore) and took the sorrel horse he sto!e from Fairman, tied it behind his buggy and started for Rich Hill. It was on his way to Rich Hill that Mr. Mapes captured him, returned from Rich Hill, ac- companied by DeWitt Smith, who identified the and saddle which had been stolen from him,and left for home with his property. Since Mr. Mapes started into this search a week ago, says the Tribune, he has captured and returned to the mare harness and buggy, horse and DeWitt Smith’s horse and saddle. property stolen and returned is about $700.
