Discovery Of 4 Band of Robbers
Capture Of sheir Tesm and Con.
tents.
THE ROBBERS ESCAPE.

For the past six months our police have
been on the alert to discover the perpetra-
tors of series OF robberies that have been
committed in different parts of the country,
and more particularly about Worthington,
but withoutsuccess.
Some four or five weeks ago, farmer
living on. the Lewis farm, some two miles
from Worthington, was robbed of twenty
bushels of wheat and fifteen of oats. A
week or two later, farmer had his hogs
stolen. - sgss .sssas
These depredations were conducted so
quietly that it was impossible to discover
the raseals. A toll-gate keeper on the
Worthington road has had his suspicious
of certain parties, and has kepta quiet sort
| of a watch over their movements.
"a Night before last two horse wagon,
driven by ohe man, with another asleep in
the straw in the bott M. passed through the
gate about nine o'clock. The wagon was
empty, The gate keeper thought these
men would do to watch, on their return.
So he made his preparations. About four
o'clock yesterday morning he heard the
wagon returning, and it seemed to be
pretty heavily loaded. He allowed it to
pass through the gate, and get some dis
tance on, then calling his son, lad of II or
Is years of ageyhe, hitched his horse to his
buggy and followed them. He let the wa
gon keep ahead of him until all the cross
roads were passed but one, and then drove
just far enough ahead to keep it in hear
ing. just before they got to town he lost
the sound. Al milkman coming to town,
was inquired of, but had not seen the wa
gon. The gate keeper was satisfied that
they had turned off on the by-road, and
driving back, was confirmed in his view by
the "sign.- He followed until the bad
condition of the road compelled him to put
back.
Driving hastily to town, the gate keeper
took Marshal Murphy in with him, and
started out the Harbor road. just about
daylight the Marshal came upon the wagon,
and commanded halt. No sooner did the
men in the wagon see him than they jump
ed to the ground and took to the woods,
making their escape, the Marshal's pistol,
for some reason, missing fire. 1"i'aa
. The team was secured and driven to the
station house. In the wagon were found
four hams, just taken from sone ones
smoke house, and a lot of bags, evidently
lately filed with oats, and which, our opin-
ion is, the robbers were compelled to emp
ty in order to get through on the mud road.
One OF the bags is marked D. Weimer. and
another Comstock & Co., Columbus, Ohio.
1t is not known who the men are, but. it is
thought they are part of a aregularly or
ganized band of robbers having their head
quarters near this city.
Our farmers should organize themselves
into vigilance committee, and rid the
county of these fellows.
Since writing the above we have heard
of the stealing OF a wagon load of hay by
some of this same band. str5 sss

An ExrEsIvE NORTON HoUsE.-During
the past four years the wholesale notion
house of Harris & Sigler, Nos. 10Y and 109
East Town street, has been famous through
out Central Ohio for the magnitude of its
business and the equity and promptness
with which the firm conducted all of its
transactions. Notwithstanding the extent
of their business, Messrs.. Harris &. .Sigler,
believing that by proper cultivation and
care the. wholesale notion trade of Colum-
bus could be greatly increased, dissolved
as did the firm of Carpenter, Hankins & Co.,
well known wholesale grocers of this city.
and on the first day of January last new
co-partnership was formed under the name
and style of Harris, Carpenter & Co., COM
prising all of the members of both the
former firms and having for its purpose
the enlargement and continuance of the
Wholesale Notion and Fancy Goods trade.
The new firm possess capital, experience,
energy and such other facilities as will out
strip a Il competition in their special line
of trade. The store rooms-four in num-
ber, occupied by the old firms, Nos. 1Ol,
1O5, JOY and IO9 East Town street, known
as the Carpenter and Harris & Sigler block,
have been thrown into one,making a mag
nificent salesreom one hundred feetsquare,
in which the House of Harris, Carpenter
&. Co. will conduct their business. An ex-
animation of the store rooms exhibits a
large and discreetly selected stock of goods,
| without doubt the largest and finest ever
displayed in the West, and one that cannot
fail to give entire satisfaction, both in price
and quality, to merchants in all sections
Dealers who have heretofore purchased
goods in the east can profit materially by
an inspection of Harris, Carpenter 6 Co.'s
stock and price list.

OF the medicinal virtues Of Rsbacks Blood
Pills, Stomach Bitters and Blood Purifier oyer

humanity is shown in many ways, but especially
is it evinced in this important fact That resPon-
sible' druggists and merchants all over the conn

their best customers and friends, while, at the
same time, it is quite as much to their pecuni
airy interest to recommend other medicines.
The reason for this is obvious. They are in
positions to see the pre.eminent efficacy of the
pills in cases of Liver Complaint and all oh.
structOns of the bowels and, in fact in all cases
where a cathartie medicine can be employed.
While the Bitters, by their G emile tonic, samu.
liant and laxative properties, and as safe and

trial, and the Blood Purifier ia acknowledged
