plsce:
A young man named Coffman burnt
his fathers barn valued at ZOO, and
then stole $3.50 in money from the old
man. Another youth Of the name Of
Frazer, robbed his father of $500. The
body of an unknown man was found in
the street, on Wednesday morning of last
week, who had been murdered the night
previously. The cholera is decimating

married about six months, he prepared to
visit Crawford county in company with
his bride. But few days before he was
70 start he was accidently killed by crate
Of crockery falling on him from the Sec
ond story Of his warehouse. The event
was duly communicated to his family in
Ohio. That was about eighteen months
ago.
About three months since the father of
the deceased was startled to see carriage
driving up to the door. A very interest

and introduced herself as the widow of
the dead son. Great was the Joy of the
household at the visit of their beloved son
and brothers. relict. She said she was
going to Rhode Island, and could not re-

Three weeks passed by and she had
worked her way deep into the affections

for her departure-they had exchanged
miniatures-the farewells were said-the
blubberipg was at its height, when she
called the old gentleman to one side and,
with great embarrassment, told him that
she had lost her pocketbook on the cars,
containing all but trifle Of her funds
She felt diffidence in making the request
but if she could not apply to her "belov'

and month passed, but nothing was hear

old gentleman became alarmed, and ad

description given, the woman who per
