menced making out the Duplicate OF Iaxe

years old named Sophia Richter, was ar.
rested on Wednesday afternoon by consta'
BILE Horn, on charge of stealing $50 from
Abraham Stotts. She gave bail in the sum
of $500 before Squire Gulick for her ap.

FEN1AN MEETING To-NIGHT.-The ad.
journed meeting of the friends OF Ireland
will be held at the Emmet Guards Armory
tonight. Stirring addresses will be deliv-
cred. All those who wish to join the civic
circle or the military organization are re.
quested to attend.
SERVED RIGHr.-We saw yesterday in
the Mayors office, warrant for the arrest
of man for hitching his horse to shade
tree contrary to the ordinance. This is
right. The man who has no more sense
than to tie his horse where it is in danger
of destroying shade trees should be made
to paw right smartly for his ignorance.
WHAT, INDEED?-We are informed that
q young lady of this city, after reading at
tentiyely the title of a novel called "The
Last Man," exclaimed, Bless US! If such
thing were to happen, what would become
of the women?" We think more peril
nent inquiry would be, "What would be-
come of the pocr man?" We fear his fate
would be lamentable one.
A CRAZY MANA man named MunsoD
from Munson Station, was found at the de-
pot last evening raving crazy. He had
$1s5.40 and a silver watch on his person, all
OF which is in the Marshars hands. 1t is
desired that his friends should come for
him as soon as possible. He is in very
bad condition and needs watching. He
threw away his watch and money previous
to his arrest at the depot.
MESSAGE FROM THE GovERNoR.-The
Governor on yesterday sent message TO
the General Assembly enclosing commu-
nication from che Superintendent of the
National Cemeteries of the Department OF
the Cumberland in relation to the revision
and correction of the lists of Union soldiers
in Ohio, buried in the United States Gene
teries of that Department. The Governor
recommends such legislation as will Sc
cure a correct list.
RECORD OF BIRTHS AND DEATHs.-From
the returns of the births and deaths made
to the Probate Judge, for the three months
ending April l, 1885, we take the following
facts: There were 50 males bora and q
females, making total of III OF these, les
were white and colored. The total deaths
for the me time is l2S. Of these. as fal
as reported, a were single and IL were
married. The births, it will be seen, are In
excess of deaths 43.
LocALs.-During the past two or three
days the duties ofye Local have been ex-
ceedingly onerous. In the large cities, To-
cal items are generally confined to one-half
or three-quarters of column. Here,
where items are generally as "scarce as
hens teeth" ye Local is expected to fur
nish tor his readers at least one and half
colum IS of entertaining local matter
Sometimes this is possible, when business
is brisk and the weather is propitious, but
when the opposite is the case then com es
the tug of war"
EXAMINATION OF THE TREAsURY.-Tht
special examination of the county treasury
ordered by law, was made yesterday by ID
B. Wilson, Esq, the examiner appointed

955,92 in the treasury of all funds CORES
ponding with the books OF the Treasurer

the books of the Treasurer are kept witt
much neat1ess and accuracy, and that HI
is convinced that the Treasurer has faith

conformity with law.
