A GANG OF THIEvEs-ExTENsIvE AR
REsrs.-For some months past it has been
known to the officers of the Pittsburg.
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, that
there was an extensive gang of thieves
along the line of said road, committing de-
predations upon goods passing over tine
road. These missing goods have been paid
for quietly, and in the mean time prepara-
tions were making for the arrest of the
thieves. For this purpose, police officers
were detached from the police departments
of Pittsburg and Chicago, and stationed
along the line of the road. 1t is said that
one of these was secreted for number of
nights under theplatform at the Railroad De
pot in Orrville. From this hidingplace he
saw them taking goods form cars that were
purposely left standing there. When all
things were ready, additional officers were
sent along the road, and the arrests made.
The number arrested between Pittsburg
and Chicago, is said to be about one hun
dred and fifty. Orrville alone, contributes
about dozen. Three of these are sons of
Mr.. Cooper, formerly of Wooster. Crest
line seems to have been the headquarters
of the gang. There are l6 to 20 in the
Wooster Jail.

EMIGRATION TO THE WEsT.-The Gin
cinnati Gazette says:
A letter received from Meadville Penn
sylvania, says:
"About two hundred of the best citizens
of this county will go to Kansas during the
course of the spring"
A letter received from Ogle county, Hi
nois, states that upwards of one hundred
families will emigrate from that neighbor-
hood.
Vermont, Maine, and Connecticut, will
send large colonies.
The same paper adds:
Ohio, like New York and Pennsylvania,
is now under the Western fever. Great
numbers of persons have already begun
their migration to the West-cbiefy to
Nebraska, Kansas, and Minnesota. There
is something inviting in the adventures off
removal to the West-of struggles with
the forest and prarie, with the growth of a
new society, and with the growth of fam
lily striving to rise to the surface of the ri
sing waves. But notwithstanding these
attractions, there is much greater one in
land speculations. Lands are as much a
matter of trade as dry goods or horses
when an Ohio farmer can sell one acre, and
buy ten with it, he will risk the inconveni-
ences and haldships of the frontier to ac-
complish the speculation.

legislative.

A Bill is before the Legislature of this
State, and will probably become law,
which provides that where the head of a
family shall not own five hundred dollars
worth of real estate, personal property to
that amount in addition to that already
exempt from execution, shall be accessible
to crditors.
A resolution has passed both Houses
requiring the Attorney General to collect
certain moneys belonging to the State from
JOHN G. BREsL1N.
An important bill, intended for the pro-
lection of the ballot-box, was passed with
only four dissenting votes. 1t was intro
duced by Mr.. Heaton, of Butler, and is
entitled "a Bill further to amend the act
entitled an act to preserve to purity Of
elections" passed March goth, 1s4l.
1t provides that before any one shall be
permitted to vote, he shall be an actual re.
sident of county for thirty days, and of a
township or ward for twenty days previous
to any election. The original bill provides
ten days in township or ward, but it was
thought best to lcngthen that TIME.
1t is believed that in case the bill be-
comes law, land there is every probabili-
ty it will, that it will have a material in
fluence in preventing that wholesale system
of "pipe-laying" and fraud that has been
so frequently practiced in many of the Con-
gressional districts of this State.
The right of suffrage is one of the most
sacred rights ever conferred upon an Amer
can citizen, and the only means to preserve
it in its purity is to guard the ballot box.
A bill was introduced extending the con-
troll of married women over their property,
and bill was passed which came from the
Senate, making it penal 10 trespass upon
lands, orchards, gardens, etc. Such as ta-
king fruit, cutting hoop-poles and timber.
Also one requiring vote of the people on
building of bridges which cost over S., 900.

Horrible Sufferinss of a Man
lost on the Prairie.

On the 18th of December, young man
named Mccormick, about eighteen years
of age, started from point on the Iowa
river, four miles above Alden, to cross over
to Wall lake, distance of twelve miles,
with an OK team and sled load of provis-
ions, for his home. He had not proceeded
far when he was oYertaken by one of those
violent snow storms and drifts which have
been so plenty this winter, and lost the
road. After wandering about all day in
the binding and drifting snow, he took the
cattle from the sled, in hopes they would
find the way home, but this failed. He
then determined to leave his cattle, and by
his own efforts try to find some human hab-
itation. He accordingly started, taking
his dog and his gun, but the dog left him
and went back to the sled, and he himself
became so exhausted that he threw away
his gun.
Night soon set in, and the tempest ragged
with unabated violence, and giving himself
up for lost he sunk down in the snow,
never expecting to rise again; but after
resting short time, he made one more eff
fort, and looking round he found a large
snow bank. In this bank he succeeded in
making himself kind of burrow, into which
he crawled, and which in good measure
screened him from the storm. Here he
slept comparatively comfortable till morn
ing. The storm continued the next day,
and he wandered about in a bewildered
state, and during the long, stormy day
struggled desperately, without knowing
whittier he was going, to find a settlement,
but in vain; and as night again spread her
sable curtain over the desolate waste he
sank down exhausted, benumbed, his limbs
frozen, to die; but aobut eight o'clock in
the evening he heard the barking of dog.
This aroused him to make last effort for
his life, but bis frozen limbs refused to do
their office, and he was compelled TO crawl
on his hands and knees. The dog kept
running and barking before him, and guild
ing his course by him, he dragged himself
along over two miles distance, and reached
a house about two o'clock in the morning,
having been on the praire A hours with
out food or drink.
He was brought to Alden, where he now
lies in a low, emaciated, and critical state.
One of his legs has been amputed; and
the other has literally rotted off above the
ankle, and as soon as he is able to undergo
the operation, it will be amputated.
Probably history does not record more
horrible suffering, or more desperate and
prolonged struggl for life, than this young
man has undergone. Imagination can
not conceive his feelings while battling for
life, or his feelings now, when he thinks,
in case of recovery, he will be left a deform-
ed and hopeless cripple.-Dubuque Herald.

PERFORATED POSTAGE .STAMPs-A
GREAT CoNvENIENcE.-Hon James Camp
bell, the Postmaster General, has recently
introduced an improvement in the postage
stamps, which adds greatly to their public
convenience. He has had them prepared
on sheets with perforations around the bor-
der of each stamp, so that they can be sep
arated, one from the other, without using
a knife or pair of scissors. Besides the
saving time in this improvement, there is
greater security that the stamp will adhere
to the letter, for the points or rough edge,
left by the perforations will stick better to
the letter, there being none of the risk of
the edge turning upas when it is continu-
Gus. This plan of perforating letter stamps
is practised in Europe, and Mr.. Campbell
had the contractor to procure machine
from that country for use here. The
