Monday morning last, R. B. Cotton, Ed. Bar
nard, Cone Andrews, Edward Andrews and
Marvin Churchill, of Rootstown, were arrest
ed upon warrant issued by Justice Barlow,
for stealing sheep, belonging TO Jason Loom
is, of Randolph. A warrant was issued for
John OFT, upon Che same charge, but he was
not to be found. The examination took
place upon Monday, and all but Cotton were
discharged from custody. The testimony be-
fore the Justice developed these facts in
brief: The sheep were driven from Ran
dolph on Sunday afternoon to pen in a by
place upon the premises of Sidney Craig. In
the evening the sheep were discovered by
four men from Randolph Cotton and OFT be-
ing with them, each having a sheep upon his
back-in the act of transferring them from
the pen to acorn-feld. There were fourteen
of the sheep valued at fifty dollars.
Cotton was bound over in the sum of
$4,000, to the next term of Court. Al
phonso Hart, appeared in behalf of the State
P. B.-Conant, for defendant.

GEN. CARTEL Upon Tuesday morn
ing, we had the pleasure of brief call from
Gen, Garfield. He was on his way to Wash
lngton1, with dispatches, and regretted he had
not time to'greet his many friends. We were
gratified to meet him, and find him feeling
SO well and vigorous, after his arduous milit-
ary campaign. When time viii allow, we
hope Gen. Garfield will give his Ravenna
friends an audience, for they would be de-
lighted to- welcome him home, in apprecia-
ton of their respect and confidence toward a
true and devoted friend of his country.

KNoxv1LLD, Tenn, October 8, 1868.
Editor democrat:
1T becomes my painful duty to announce
to your readers the death of David
Carrier, of Co. L, 1o4th 0. V. I. This mel
ancholly event transpired on the morning of
the 9th of October; between the hours of L
and 2-at the hospital tent in Camp = miles
west of the city of Knoxville. The deceased
was pattern of excellence, cireumspect, and
gentlemanly in behavior. Brave, noble and
generous in every impulse. An exc. llent and
well beloved messmate. Always at the post
of duty, faithful and trustworthy under all
circumstances, performing his full duty how
ever severe the task, with cheerfulness and
alacrity. 1t is comforting to us, his brothers
In arms, to know that this our companion,
dear friend and brother, died in the full tri-
umphs of a living faith A short time Le-
fore he breathed his last, he was asked by
friend who was with him in his last moments,
if he was conscious that his time was short
With great calmness and composure, he re-
piled afirmatively, adding that he was ready
and wiling TO die. Thus passed from earth
another Of Portage County's brave and patr-
otic sons, who without a murmur gave mis-
life for his country. The deceased was in
the 31st year of his age. He was born and
had always resided in the township of Brim-
field, Portage county, Ohio, where his be-
reaved and widowed mother now resides.

HOME AGAIN.-The friends and neigbbors
of Gen. Garfield demanded of him that he
should give them an account of the move
ments of the Army of the Cumberland in its
late campaign in Georgia. Accordingly on
Monday evening of this week, he addressed a
very large and densely packed house. He
gave them a very lucid and satisfactory ex-
planation, demonstrating all that the Army
of the Cumberland achieved real success in
the capture of Chattanooga, although com
PEELED to meet Bragg in a fearful and terrible
battle The bravery of our soldiers. and the
wisdom of our Generals, especially of Gen.
Thomas, was completely vindicated He
bore testimony to both the patriotism and
bravery of Rosecrans. In conclusion he said
"the Republic cannot be saved by any one
man. Though every General were dismissed,
would yet stand by the Government" This
lecture of the Generals thus given to friends
and neighbors, was followed by three proud
cheers for our Hiram soldier boys and our
two Brigadiers, Garfield and Hazen.

Dividend DECLARED BY THE CLEVELAND
AND PITTsBURGH RAILROAD Co.-The Direc-
tors of the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad
Co., at meeting last evening, declared Div
idend of -Four per cent, payable in cash on and
after October 2oth.
tits ten years since a cash dividend was
last declared by this company, and seven years
since stock or bond dividend Since that
time the Company has passed through Sc
we're financial ordeal, and at times it seemed
impossible to save the property to the stock
holders. Under the shrewd and prudent
management of President Mccullough the
Company has been brought out of its Difficult
ties and plaeed,on footing with the best class
of dividend paying roads. The funded debt,
has been Ieduced to a manageable amount,
the floating debt is but small, the road, both
in its permanent way, and locomotive and
rolling stock, is in better condition than it has
been for many years, and yet, after paying the
four per cent dividend, there will be surplus
left more than sufficient to provide for all con-
tingencies. Herald.
