Too Many Turkeys.

Vim. B. Oderkirk, of Danville, and his
son Charles. were arrested Monday, on
charge ot stealing turkeys. Some ninety
live turkeys were found in their posses
sion. which they could not properly ac-
count for. As several of the neighbors
had lost turkeys, the supposition is that
Oderkirk had them in his flock. In fact.
number of turkeys found at Oderkirk' s
had red strings tied about their necks.
which neighbor says he had taken the
precautiOn to place on his own birds. for
. fear they might stray. These Oderkirks
do not enjoy very good name. 1t will be
remembered that an older son was con-
victed Of stealing in this place, some over
a year ago.

to the Sandusky Register, "that three-fifths
of the members elected to the Legislature
cannot be obtained to vote for its submis-
sion. A large majority OF the Union mem
bers, think, will, but not enough to make
the necessary constitutional majority" The
Radicals haze three-ftths of the Legislature
and will be held responsible by the ''col-
ored troops who fought nobly" for their
want of courage and boldness!
We put this on record as furnished us by
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and ask the
reader to make a note of it, in his memory
We will wager claim on some Gift Enter
prise that such thing will happen.
