ONO REPusLlcASs.-A large number Of
Union Republicans in Ohio have issued .
call for convention Of Republicans 10 elect
delegates 10 Philadelphia, closing with the
following appeal
Come up, then, Union men, to the con-
vcntior, and see that the best citizens Of
our State are sent a. delegates to tho Ma
tional Union Convention to sustain the
President in his efforts to restore the union
Of these States. II citizens belonging 70
other political organizations choose to CO.
operate with u upon this our own plat
form, TO give il practical effect. 10 proof
that, however high partisan strife may run
in ordinary politica, contests, the issue now
before the countryside restoration Of the
Union-rises above ell party feeling or sec>
tionalism, and appeals directly to the pa
'riotism Of the nation to take care that the
republic suffers no dctriment."

took Miners early morning train, at half
past five, for Rutland. A telegram for
their arrest was sent to Rutland but Two
OF them GO off at Chester DEPOT where
Starkey's morning train was met, anil
came directly back and passed through

self, they offered to pay his fare, which be
accepted, thai he did not know their busi-
ness only they said they were runners
that he stayed in a car on the depot
grounds,elc, all OF which simply confirmed
the belief that he was one of the three
burglars, and that they expected to take
a 3 o'clock train TO Springfield 10 the
morning, but as no such train rams now,
they slipped up in their calculations and
took the next earliest train TO leave the
place.
On Tuesday last Mccormick was brought
before Justice A. 5. Campbell for exami-

$3.50 fol. his appearance a, County Court.

THE Corn CRop.-There has been
much alarm felt throughout this section
of country concerning the safety of the
corn crop, on account of SO much wet
weather. We are assured that, as yet,
the prospects for crop Ofunusual guam
tity and quality was never better. The
rains have somewhat retarded its ma
turity, but a week or ten days of sun
shine and favorable weather will put it
out of all danger from frost The frost
has done no damage to it yet. In few
localities the crop is prounced al
ready out of danger from frost. Until
the grain shall be fully ripened there
will be more or less apprehension felt for
the salty of the crop; but as the season is
not yet so far advanced as to expect
damaging frosts we have little cause at
present for any unusual anxiety for its
safetV

CITY AND STATE ITEMS.

ARREST OF A SwINDLER.-Night before
last man named Robert A, Clark was
arrested at Wellsville, Ohio, and yester-
day morning he was brought to this city
and lodged in jail, to await trial upon a
charge of swindling. 1t seems that sew
eral months ago Mr.. Joseph Cow, clerk
in the employ of Clifton & Bro, of Pitts
burg, came to this city on business for
that firm, and while here canvassed some
little for books sold by them. Cow did
a fair business in the way of canvassing,
but not havingl come here for that pur-
nose. found it necessary to return to
Pittsburg. Before leaving, Cow met
Clark and asked him to close out the bal
ance of the books, and settle for them
when he returned. Clark proceeded
with the work and soon disposed of the
books: He then pocketed the funds he
collected in Cows name, and absconded,
leaving Cow q victim to his "Butlerism,"
in the sum of about two hundred dol
lars. Mr.. Cow soon heard fthe piece OF
rascality, but not knowing where Clark
had gone to, paid Citizen q Bro. dam
ages, and concluded to await future luck
to capture the swindler.
Not until Wednesday night did MIR.
Cow hear or see anything of Clark, and
then he met him by mere accident at the
Wellsville dining saloon-Gow travelling
westward, and Clark eastward, and both
having stopped for supper. Cow recog-
nized him in q moment, and it appears
the recognition was mutual, as Clark be-
gan to make tracks. Mr.. Cow succeeded
in having him arrested and brought to
this city, and he was yesterday lodged in
Jail Cor further examination before the
Circuit Court. =.
