MARIETTA RAILRoAD.-Important
changes have been made in the time
ofleaving and arrival of trairs on
this road, at Cincinnati, and, OF
course, corresponding changes at
Portland. The mail train now leaves
Cincinnati at Clio A. NJ and arrives
at 5:25 P. NJ, being two hours and
fifty minutes earlier in leaving, and
forty.five minutes later in arriving.
In going either East or West, pas
sengers who take the Road at Port
land, will be sure 10 meet with close
connections on the NJ. & c. Road at
uamden.
These changes will very materially
lessen the night travel between here
and Portland, and thus make this
route one ofmuch more Importance to
our citizens. 1t will also give US ar
earlier mail.

A robbery and murder occurred in
Parkersburg. W. Va, one night last
week. The County Treasury was rob-
bed of all its funds, and drayman,
who had, on the previous day. sold out
all his affects with a view to moving
away, was murdered in his own home,
by some one who broke into it during
the night. Some "White Oak" oil
men are suspected of being the guilty
parties in the murder case, and have
been arrested, but the Treasury robber
was still at large at the last accounts

We were an eye witness to most
marvellous scene, in our County Court

one Bible at the same time! Two of
the parties were sitting down, and held
the book between them, while the other
two looked over their shoulders. All
of them seemed to read with great
avidity, as if it were book they had
never expected to see again. AS one

did not wonder at his anxiety to retain
possession of the sacred book as long as
possible.-Pomeroy Telegraph.
