STARK COUNTY.

ELoPEMEST.-It turns out rather richly
for the Copperheads, that the extraordinary
Alliance elopement case, which we noticed
several days ago, had for one of its parties,
and the So called respectable one at that, a
white woman named Peat, who is bitter
Copperheadess. The Democrats have been
making such 6 big blow over miscegenation,
that they will find it hard to smoke this
little item. But it stands on the record
that this high Democratic lady, Mrs. Peat,
has gone in lemons with an anti-white
man. We understand the CoPperhead
maidens in that region, last summer embla-
zoned on their banners this device or sem
timent: "save US from negro husbands" :"
They had better be looking to themselves.
For Democrats boast that they are conser-
vatists, and conservatist worships prece-
dents, and what precedent is this. OF
blooming coppery maidens!-a white Cop
derheadess sbsconding with a negro who is
not her husband.
Now that Mr.. Peat has sent away Mrs.
Peat from his outraged bed and board, we
wonder if that excellent Copperhead of
Northeastern Stark, D. SOurbeek by name,
can't be prevailed upon to give her en-
ployment.
REMOVAL OF ALLIANCE FREE PREss.-We
learn that the Alliance Free Press has
moved to Canton, where it will dispense
milk tor Democratic babes, and meat for
strong men of the Copperhead persuasion.
Think of George Washington Barlow and
Archibald MacGregor, preaching together
at Canton the gospel of the new dispense
ton in the new church of Anti Christ. PO-
litical Paul and Barnabas, don't get to
qnarreling.
Tho Salem Republican has ga big cab
baee" to bet that Mac will floor Barlow.

MAHOEISG COUNTY.

AccIDENT.-William Best, an aged citizen
of Berlin township, MahoniDg county, was
thrown from his buggy near the Salem
depot, on the 4th inst, from his horses tax
ing fright at passing train. His thigh
was broken, and he was otherwise injured.
He is slowly recovering.
HORSE SHOW AT CANFIELD.-The adjourn
ed part of the late Agricultural Fair came
off at Garfield on last Saturday. The Ex-
hibition was confined to horses, and prin-
cipally to Roadsters and Fast Stock. There
was q fair show of horses. Some Of them
we're very good. The time made by the
winning horse was mile in two minutes
and twenty-seven seconds. This horse was
entered by Mr.. Waggoner of New Castle.
Some of the other horses made very good
speed. 227 is the ms ximum speed IN trot-
ting that has yet been attained.
DEATH OF SURGEON T. J. sHAENoN.-The
friends of Surgeon Thomas J. Shannon, of
the I16Lh o. vi, received, several days
days since, dispatch stating that the Doc
tor was 30 severely wounded in the battle of
Cedar Creek, on the Isth inst, that he sur
vived but few hours. He requested be-
fore death that his remains be sent home
for interment Their arrival was expected
yesterday, when he was to have been bur-
led with military honers. A worthier man,
and one more devoted to his country, did
not exist than Surgeon Shannon. He leaves
a young wife and large circle of friends
and relations to mourn his death

GREAT EYfIFEMEEf IN sANDUsKT.
city FuH of Canada SeOundreIs---Six-
teen OF them Arrested---One Man



The sandusky Register ofyesterday gives
the following sccountO of affairs in that city
on Thursday night:
Our city was thrown into whirl of ex-
citement last night over the discovery of
lot Of Canadian roughs or rebels, circulating
very freely among the saloons. The pres
ence of q few of them was noticed evening
before last, and one of them knocked an
old German over and searched his pockets,
but fed ere the officers could arrest him.
The robber was afterward overhauled by s
policeman and knocked down, but rescued
by bis comrades.
During the day few of them were. seen
in the saloons, but most of them kept Sc
cluded until dark, when they made their
appearance in squads. About O'Clock q
number of them broke into private house
and were shot at by the owner of the house.
Instead of hitting one of the assailing par
ty, the contents Of the gun passed out of
the open door and lodged in the leg Of
returned soldier who was passing, by the
name Of John Seward. After being shot at,
they left and dispersed around the city;
Knowing that they were being watched
they frequently disappeared, and when
again seen, would be in complete disguise.
The above facts were made known to
Mayor Gersdorf, and he Immediately or
ganized heavy police force and went to
work arresting the scoundrels, and to the
hour of our going to press had arrested six
teen Of them. 1t is supposed that they
number over thirty, and visited our city for
a raid similar to St. Adams.
Some of them protested that they were
peaeeable German citizens, whilst others
said they were Canadians, and came over TO
sell themselves as substitutes. One ofthem
claimed to be q Provost Marshal, and said
the men belonged to him, whilst another
stated that they were going to Nashville,
and from their conversation, seemed to be
acquainted in that locality.
Those that were arrested were searched
No arms, and little or Nc money was found
upon their persons. 1t is very generally
believed, however, that they have revolyeTs
deposited somewhere within the city. 1t IS
hardly q suppOsable case that thirty men
would arrive in body from Canada, TO oder
themselves as substitutes, and taken in con-
neetion with the recommendation of Rich
mond rebels TO burn and rob our Northern
cities, has significance beyond mere idle
speculation.
They will be brought before the Mayor
this morning, at 8 o'clock, for hearing, when
we hope to arrive more diiinitely at their
designs.
