during the day Monday, the storm increased,
and Monday night was more violent. Tues
day morning found everything showed up
with the storm still raging. The average
depth upon the pavements and roads in Ra-
VIENNA, was eighteen inches, though in many
places it was deeper, and in the fields and
country roads was fully two feet deep. A
smart team with a light cutter could easily
make 2:4o-that is to say, a mile IN two
hours and forty minutes.
Upon the C. & P. R. R. two freight trains
stuck. fast near the Canal bridge about 8 a. m.
Tuesday morning, and were unable to move.

from Cleveland announced that locomotives
could not be got from the machine shop on to
the Main track, and the morning mail train
could not be sent out. The train from Pitts

blockaded. k@ 9se

abstract of the number of deeds presented for
Record at the office of Jas. Norton, the
County Recorder, for the year ending on the

tics for the year ending in January, 1863, in

It will be seen that though there has been
a large increase in the number of conveyances,
the increase of mortgages issyery small. In
1862 the number of mortgages cancelled was
considerable less than the number recorded j;
in 1868 the matter was reversed, and more
former mortgages were cancelled than new
ones recorded. This change betokens
prosperity most gratifying in the benefits

Funr N FRANKL1N.-upon Monday night

FIRE. IN FRANKLN pom Monday night
last week, the barn of John Perkins, situated
a trife over a mile from the lower village of
Franklin Mills, was burned, with the most of
its contents. The fire broke out about II
o'clock, and the bright light it caused was
plainly seen in Ravenna about half-p elev
en- The barn was a large one, of the style
known as a bank barn. Its contents con-
sisted of 80 tons of hay, quantity of oats,
corn, barley, clover seed, 800 bushels of
shorts, a wagon and a large quantity of farm
ing utensils-the value of the whole proper
ty destroyed is estimated at over $4,000,
upon which there was no insurance. The
fire was undoubtedly caused by incendiaries.
The citizens of Franklin have of late been
very actiyesin a temperance reformation, and
Mr.. Perkins was warmly enlisted in the cause.
He is the Chairman of a Committee to prose-
cute liquor sellers, and in this capacity seems
to have become obnoxious festhe parties in
terested in the traffic, and the. general feeling
in Franklin is that his barn was set on fire be-
cause of the prominent part be has taken in
the matter. Upon Tuesday last week Isaiah
Keller, a keeper of a saloon and billiard ta-
BILE, in the upper village, and John Rouse,
were arrested on charge of having set FIRE
to this barn. Their examination took place
before justices Russell and olin upon satur-
day, and resulted in their being bound over
in the sum of $5o0,eO each. Bail was given.
One part Of the Esvidence was that the tracks
| of two men were discovered in the snow lead
ing from the barn, across the fields, in the di-
rection of Keller's saloon, and that the boots
worn by these two men fitted the track found
in the snow On the part of The defence
/ witnesses were introduced to prove an alibi
Ffor the men under suspicion. A.. Hart ap-
/ peared in behalf of the State. E. B. Taylor
for the accused.
