PARTICULARS OF TIE BURaLARY-THS
SUPPOSED BURGLARS ARRESTED. In our
last issue we noticed burglary committed
in our place on Wednesday night ef last
week. The particulars of tho affair are as
follows: Mr.. Van Worries, on going to the
store, about Al o'clock A. NJ, found the
back door open. the thieves having bored a
hsle through the door and slipped the cross
piece back. They also tried the safe, and
evidently intended to blow it open, but for
some reason they did not make the effort.
Powder and fuse we're found near the safe.
They robbed the store of large lot of fine
pen knives, pistols, plated ware, spoons,
and cutlery generally, to the value of from
5000 to $500.
Sheriff John NJ. johnson was at once
notified, as also MIR. Joseph L. Kessinger,
who immediately set to work to ferret out
the thieves. With vigilance worthy the
position of officers, they soon struck the
trail, and by telegraphing ahead, succeeded
in arresting two men at Hamden Junction
-one of whom gives his name as j. II.
Kennedy, and the other refuses to give his
name-and on their persons was found a
large portion of the property. These men
were brought back, and were tried Saturday
morning last before Esq. Root, who held
them 10 $2500 each, but in default thev
we're sent to the keeping of Sheriff john
son.
Kennedy had papers in his possession
showing him to have been a Captain in the
18th Arkansas in the late rebellion.
We. give thieves of all kinds fair warning
that they had better seek some other field
than Athens for their nefarious work, SO
long as the present Sheriff and Joe are
here to hunt them up. Messrs. johnson
and Kesslnger deserve the thanks of this
community for their energy and persever-
ance in their arrests. IL Athens Messenger.
JUDGE d. D. T. CowEN, of Belmont
County, has presided in our Court from the
beginning up to this Wednesday morning. =
How much longer he will preside we are not
aware, as Jnd ge Mcllvaine arrived on Tues
day last. Judge q. has made very favor
able impression upon all who have been in
attendance upon Court. His charges to the
Jury are brief, logical and easily understood.
In his decisions he shows himself to be a
jurist of more than ordinary ability Hav-
ing been defeated for an election on the Sec
ond Tuesday of October, it is not probn BILE
that he will sit upon the bench again after
leaving this County, as we believe the Courts
in this district have all been held; but that
he will again resume the practice Of his pro.

County, without distinction of party, will
wish him abundant success and prosperity,
