JOHN CLINE is in Jail in this village, on a
charge Of Larceny. John has been semi
soldier for the last year. and left on the cars
last Thursday or Friday as was supposed, ito
join his regiment.n It seems he went no
farther than Cleveland, and returned home
on Friday night or Saturday morning-pro-
Tossing to have 81 left the army" he shed his
soger', h.biliments, and donned new suit
of citizens clothes. It seems that certain
well-fiiled satchel, containing clothing to the
amount of some fifty or sixty dollars had
suddenly disappeared from the Cleveland
Depot-it appears farther, that said satchel
was seen in the hands of "a bold soger boy"
VINO had taken the outward bound Cleveland
and Pittsburg train-whereupon Clark War
rem, who is always sup to thing or two" in
such cases telegraphed along the line a des-
cription of the man and his plunder, which
was sufficient warrant for Constable Hum
elbaugh of this village, to take the said John
Cline into custody, and lodge him in the Ra-
VIENNA Jail.
On Monday morning Cline was brought
before Justice Goldman, pleaded guilty, and
was held in $50, to answer at the next term
of Court, and in default of bail was remanded
to Jail. y

A MAN SHOT IN AURoRA.-On Friday af-
ternoon last, Thomas Gibson, an Irishman,
shot Lester Osborn with a shotgun, the
charge taking effect in the neck, or throat.
About Fifty shot entered his neck. It seems
the parties had had quarrel, and Gibson, a
vicious fellow, procured a gun, and delib-
erately stepped out and fired at Osborn, and
Immediately fed to the woods. Osborn is a
son-ip-law Of John J. Eldridge-Gibson has
no family. He was pursued, and arrested il,
Solon, before daylight on Saturday-he was
taken before Justice Worthy Taylor, of Au-
rora, pleaded guilty, and on Saturday evening
conveyed to the Jail in this village, where he
now remains. haE s

A few days since David Austin, son of Mr..
Samuel Austin, was loading a pistol with pa
per wad. He placed the muzzle of the pis-
toll against the palm of his hand, and pro-
ceeded to adjust the cap, when it discharged
its contents, mangling his hand terribly. The
attending surgeon, DR. Price, found it neces-
sary to amputate the little finger. and that
portion of the hand extending from the little
finger to the wrist. 1t is said by some of the
soldiers that more accidents occur, from the
use of the revolver, than any other weapon
used in the army and that they cost about
as many lives, as they save. There should be
great care used in handling these small wea-
pons.
The missing Randolph soldiers at the bat
tie of Murfreesboro, have arrived at home
They. were taken prisoners, carried to Rich
mond, and after time, paroled. They en-
dured great privations, and much suffering.

parents upon their safe return.
Maj. w. Steadman has been at home, en-
joying brief respite from the hardships of

LOYAL NATIONAL LEAGUE IN RAyENNA.-
By the proceedings of a meeting held in Ra-
VIENNA, on Saturday evening last, it will be
seen that "Loyal National League" has
been formed. The meeting was well attend
ed, and was earnest, determined and resolute
in spirit. The speech of Judge Day was
eloquent, patriotic and forcible, and was most
cordially responded to. The remarks of 9th
ers were pertinent and to the point. Before
the conclusion of the meeting, over two hun
dred names were found to have been subscrib-
ed to the League. The movment is popular
the loyal delight thus to manifest their patriot
ic ardor in behalf of the permanency of the
Government, whoever may be its temporary
administrators; and signers will be daily add
ed.
Will not the good and loyal people initiate
this worthy example in every township of
the county2

ment of Wall Paper at the Rayenna Book

papering old rooms. At any rate, call and
see these papers, quality and prices.

sings and declares thus:
