TOWNSHIP Treasury RoBBED-HEAvY
Loss.-Some time last week, it is not known
precisely when, the CedarVilie Township
Treasury was robbed of $~2.336.6s. The
money was deposited by NJ. ]. C. Nisbet,
who had been for many years, Township.
and Corporation Treasurer, in a store-room
which be had formerly occupied, and which
is Immediately in frontuf his dwelling house.
For some time, Mr. Nisbit kept the money
in a cellar, underneath the back part Of his
store-room, but fearing that it was unsafe
there. he took it up stairs, and placing it in
an old nail keg, covered it up with some
waste papers, and then piled a Quantity of
nails over the papers. The money being
in gold, occupied about as much space as a
similar weight in nails would do, and Mr..
Nisbet felt certain that, in this hiding place
it must be perfectly secure. As his store
room was not used at all, and it was well
known through the town that the goods had
been removed from it, there was no proba-
bility that any one would attempt to enter it
for any purpose, especially MS Mr.. Nisbet
resided in part of the same building.
On last Wednesday and Thursday Mr..
Nisbet was in Xenia, and it Is supposed the
money was taken during mis- absence. The
store room was entered by a side deor, fast
ened by a hook in the inside. The door
was bored through Immediately above where
the hook was inserted, and it was thus ensy
to throw the nook out, and enter the room.
Mr.. Nisbet knew nothing of the robbery
until Saturday evening, when he CHANGED to
notice that the store room door was open.-
On entering he found everything in confn-
sion, boxes drawn out from the wall, the
desk forced open, and papers strewn over
the room. The money was all taken out of
the nail key, a little that had been in the
desk was taken, and a pocket book, contain
ing notes to the amount of several thousand
dollars, was also stolen. The robbery must,
evidently, have been committed by one well
acquainted with the premises, and who knew
that the money was to be found there. So
far, 10 clue has been discovered which will
lead 10 the detection of the thieves. A re-
ward OF $500 has been offered for the return
of the money and notes. The loss will fall
heavily on an already overtaxed people, and
furnishes another illustration OF the beauties
o. the su6-treasury law.
We are requested by Mr.. Nisbet to say
that, as his private affairs have been very
nauch deranged by this loss, he trusts that
those indebted to him will see the necessity
of prompt payments. He will be compelled
in many instances 10 rely upon the honor of
his debtors. and he trusts that, in so doing,
he may not be disappointed.-[Xenia News.

-phe Rev. Samuel C. Parker, of Hinckley.
Medina eouAty, met with a terrible death
Sunday morning. tho 10th inst. He was
seen to go into d field in which he kept q
bull, with a pitchfork in his hand. for the
purpose as is supposed OF driving the animal
out. About IN hon after a person called at
his house to,invite him to preach a funeral
sermon, and was directed by the faIniiy to
the field where they supposed MIR. Parker to
be. On looking for him he was found dead,
the body tossed over the fence several rods
from where the pitchfork was lying. The
horns and head of the bull were bloody, and
the bload and marks on the ground indicated
that the unfortunate man was gored and
pitched along by the vicious animal from the
place where the pitchfork was dropped to
the fence, and tiaer tossed completely over
it.

REMARKABLE VERJfICATIaN oP A DREAM
"A lady from the SaEtn, soiourning at the
house of Mr.. John Glitch, No. Sc East Fifth
street, for some weeks, dreamed night before
last tat a faverite sister, to whom she was
much attached, and whom she had left in
Mobile in the full enjoyment of health, had
| died, and so greatly was she gFieved that she
awoke at once, and could not sleep again
She was in great distress, and walked about
her room, ~wripging her hands and weeping
as if her heart would break. Several per-
sons i'm the house, among them Mr.. e. him
self, endeavoreGto comfort her, assuring her
of the folly of mourning over am idle dream
The lady, however, insisted upon the truth
thereof, Declaring that she knew her sister
was ro more. Sire had supposed herself at
the bedside, she said, and had supported her
sister in her arms. She had seen every lin
eament and expression of the face of her
relative, who grew paIer and paer, and her
breath shorter and shorter, and asking TO be
lifted up, pointed to a clock In the apart
ment where the narrator supposed she was.
and as it struck the boar of two the suffer
ing patieat fell back and expired.
During the remainder of the. night the
! distracted. woman paced the floor in all the
aeoaE of bereavment. It was useless to
reason with her to seek TO assuage her sor-
r9w. Morning came. aad the breakfast hour,
but she could not boBch a morsel of food.
Still the stonnaa Of woe swept ACROSS her
soul. i
About ten o'clock a messenger from the
telegraph office entered and delivered q dis
patce addressed 10 the lady. 1t wasdeliWer-
