no such thing. We stated, BY request and for

More Stolen Goods Recovered.

After the conviction of John Walker
for robbing Hoyt & Osborn's Store, linen
toned last week., and he knew he must
go to the pentientiary, he told a fellow
prisoner, BENZ. Scott, where the balance
oil the goods were hidden. Scott tho't
he would make a good haul, and kept
dark until he heard a prisoner had escap-
ed from the Sheriff on the way TO Column
bus. He supposed Walker was the man,
and that he would be back after the
goods before his own time in the Jail had
expired. He therefore informed as near
as he could, where the goods could be
found. Search was made last Friday, but
without success. Scott still insisted that
Walker told him, and the search was re-
sumed, and finally a large portion OF goods
still missing, were found on Mr.. Geo. LET
fngwelPs land, in this township. The
goods were much damaged by the late
rains, but many of them were still valua-
bic.

Fire.

During the rain-storm of astSaturday,
the barn of L. C. Jones, Esq, of this
place, was struck by lightning. and with
its contents. grain, buggy, sleigh. harness,
&c, was almost entirely consumed. The
fremen of both companies were prompt
ly on the spot, and by their ex%ertions saw
ed other barns and buildings. but a few
yards from the one burned. The falling
rain at the time was no detriment to the
work of the fremen.
In this connection we may properly
mention that many men can do more ac-
tual service at the brakes of the Engines,
han in boxing at a fire. To our own
certain knowledge, one set of men, most
ly fremen. worked at the brakes on Sat
ueday, until they were nearly exhausted.
