@We are requested to make the fol-
lowing correction in regard to the ARRAY
which took place at the store Of Mr.. IA
ron, on Saturday the 9th inst. Had Conn,
told Mr.. Aaron, as an officer who under
stood his business would have done, that
he was an officer, and that be had under
arrest person for stealing a ten dollar
bill, which he bad traced TO his store, we
are satisfied that the difficulty would lot
have occurred:

lie first says that the constable, Conn,
came into my store with warrant for the
arrest Of the young man who had stolen
"the ien dollar ill.," and that he arrested
him there. This is entirely mistake
Mr.. Conn (As soon afterward ascertain.
ed) had made the arrest before coming 10
my store; but he concealed from me both
the fact that he was an officer, and that
the young man with him was lis prison
er. had not the slightest knowledge
that Cohn was constable, or that he had
a warrant for the thief. might Owl"
again says that Conn, in the store re-
quesled me to let him look ut the "bill :"
that | handed it to him a1d that he put
the "bil' in his pocket. This, too, is a
mistake. Conn had obtained possession
of the "bil" at the shop of Hall & Out-
calf before coming to my store. Your
contributor also says that, when the con-
stable put the "bil" in his pocket, | pitch.
into him to get the money from him.
1t is untrue that | "pitched into the con.
stable to get the money from vim. -
When Conn started to leave the store, my
brother Charles demanded that he should
retdrn the "bill." Conn refused, and
started toward my brother, VIXEN I, ap.
pretending fight, interfered to separate
them.

EWe understand that the 1st Bap.

unanimous call TO the Rev. e. f. Strick-
land, (now OF Lancaster) TO become their
Pastor. We congratulate our Brother on
bis entrance 10 this important field Of Ia.
Dor. We doubt not that the Great Head
of the Church has designed him to become
an instrument in His hands of bringing
many to the knowledge Of Christ in the
important field he is called upon to occu-
|py."
We copy the above from the Journal
d Messenger. religious paper published
at Cincnnati.S . We' have also to record
the fact that the Rev'd gentleman will
take leave Of his congregation inthis city
on Sabbath evening next. We congratu-
late Mr.. STRICKLAND upon the increased
prospect Of usefulness thus preserted to
him, as We believe the 1st church in Pi.

Still we very much regret the necessity
which win deprive Lancaster of one OF

We congratulate the citizens of Piqua
