The readers of the Star will rememoer a bold horse stealing operation that occurred about the 24th of December, two years ago,in which the horse thief cut through the brick wall of Mr. George H. Whitney's stable, and went off with a valuable young mare. The stolen animal was net again seen by the owner until last Saturday, when she was seen py Mr. Robert Streng in the posses- sion of Mr. Joseph Payne, a tarmer of Prince Georges’ county, Md., who was attending the market in this city, and the mare was taken by Mr. Strong. Mr. Strong also had Mr. Payne arrested by officer Sprague, of the Second Ward. and taken before Justice Tueker at the Eighth precinct station-house. In the exami- nation that ensued, the mare was fully identi- fied by Mr. Whitney as his propert: , also by the man who attended her, and by Mr. Strong. . Payne produced evidence to show that the mare came into his possession in June, 165, Jeft with him to pasture at $2 per month. by &n officer of thearmy. She was then in a miserable condition, haying tost her left hind foct by rot. After her recovery Mr. Payne had used her regularly coming to the market, but though offers had been made to purchase her he always refused tosell, ashe did not consider her his property, and the owner might call for her. The Fustice dismissed the case against Mr. Payne. doub‘s thatthe animal was the property of Mr. Whitney, and he will probably endeavor to recover her by replevin, as his friends sug- gested that course. On the 6th instant Lieut. Hurley of the 4th Precinct, arrested a colored man named Nick alias Richard Johnson, who had a horse, sad- die and bridle in his possession, supposed to be stolen. Johnson was sent to jail for a hearing. Saturday the horse was identified as the prop- erty ot John L. Dufeit, Esq .ot Montgomery County, Md. which was stolen on the 5th m- stant. Johnson was committea to jail by Jus- tice Tucker to await a requisition trom the Governor of Maryland. —_e—__ OPENING or B1ps.—Atnoon to-day bids were opened at the Mayor’s office for the construc- tion of a three foot barrel sewer in 5th street. from G to L, and through the center ot square 5l4.
