| Depredations on hencoops still contin-
ue. Last week Mr.. Burk's roost was di-
vested of two fine hens, whose heads he
found in the alley not far from the coop.
Suspicion attaches the theft to certain par
ties, who may be caught up if they follow
! chicken stealing as business.
About half dozen picnics have been
held in the past three weeks. To-mor-
row the Mendelsohn Association go to
Creighton's grove, at Yeagertown, to en-
joy themselves for the day. Good singing
i'm the open air is one of the delightful
features of the picnics held by this body.
]. b. Selheimer has erected an awning
in front of his tin and hardware estab-
lishment in Market street, which will
serve as a specimen for others. Theposts
are of iror, and the top of flooring boards
covered with tin, making it neat in ap-
pearance, durable, and ornamental.
instrumental music has an agreeable
sound to most ears, but new beginners
blowing all the notes of alto, flat, sharp
and base for two or three mortal hours in
an evening, is rather whangdoodleish.-
The prayer of all Third street, from Main
to Wayne, is, that the Band will soon be
enabled to play 1.-THE girl left behind
me-" or "O'er the hills and far away"
There is a great deal of complaint about
the transmission of letters containing re-
mittances going east. That there is a
thief, perhaps two or three, either on the
cars or else in one Of the offices between
this and Philadelphia, hardly admits of a
doubt The p. NJ at Philadelphia we
think would do well by looking after
those who have access to the mail bags
from this direction.
Quite number of persons, black and
white, We're drunk on the streets on Sat
urday and Saturday night, and in the
evening regular fight took place in the
western end. No arrests, so far as we can
learn, were made in consequence of these
Outrages. The late law relative to drunk
enness, under which the party can be
made to tell where they got the liquor,
and which also makes it the duty of ofli-
GERS to arrest such parties, is good one,
and few examples would probably have
the effect of essentially Iessening the evil.
At Harrisburg, we Judge from the papers,
the law against drunkenness is rigorous
Iy enforced.
y twO-days' expedition to Licking
Greek last week resulted in the capture of
4 number of fine trout. On our return
home however we found the fourth stock /,
freight, to which a passenger car is at
tachcd, one of the uncertain things, the /
third having smashed up five ears above
and thus prevented the train
we were waiting on from making time
by some hours. We accordingly footed
it from Granville station and reached
home about half past ten at night
party, which was over the great .
er part Of the week, also met with sue
cess, but from all accounts had woful
time in going, staying and coming, diff
fcrent ones having got lost and spent the /
night with little to eat in the woods away
from camp.
