generous heart. That very day he
told Grace the whole story of his
disgrace and, how Johns Normandy
was suffering for them and she
was touched by the recital, and
thought of every means to liberate
him.
"The money, James, where is it
nowv'
"Normandy placed it in the safe,
unknown to any one"
"And has it not been found p
Would not the whole matter be
looked upon rs great blunder and
would not Mr.. Normandy be liberat-
ed at once, and exonerated from all
blame, if the money was found
there ?''
Away went James Blenchford,
without waiting to answer his sis
ter's question, and within ten min
utes was mounting the steps to the
bank. He sauntered up to Ganson.
and carelessly inquired if there was
anything new in Normandy's case.
"Nothing," replied Ganson. ssHe
protests his innocence, and I am in
clined to think he speaks the truth -
$50 am I, Ganson. Do you know
I am half certain that it is all q
great mistake-that the money is
tnow somewhere about the safe!''
81 wish it might prove so. 1t is
a hard blow for Normandy, and if its
gone, who else could have taken it
He has the key to the safe"
Il don't believe it is gone," said
Blenehford, controlling himself
wonderfully. I would like to have
anothe search made. I will ask
father. and here he comes"
Jonas Blenchford felt very sore
over the disgrace Of his favorite
and especially since his daughter
had returned, and spoke in the
warmest terms of her treatment dur
ing the ride. He was, therefore
very willing to do anything to clear
the matter. He readily consented
to make another search for the
missing money, though he was well
satisfied that it would be fruitless
And indeed it came very near be-
ing so. For full two hours they
looked, pulling drawers, turning
and unfolding papers, till every one
but James was satisfied that it was
not there. He, knowing, or fully
believing that Normandy told the
truth, did not give up, and at last
brought the package to light
from an obscure corner where
it might have been overlooked s
score of times.
With cry of joy, Jonas Blench
ford took the package, and counted
out the money, all in bills Of a large
denomination.
cts all right, boys !'' he shouted
"Normandy is innocent"
| Then all was confusion. James
ran home and told Grace, and they
rejoiced together; while their father
went in person and procured the re-
lease of Normandy, telling the
strange story as he went. 1t was the
happiest moment of his life when
John Normandy took his place il
the bank again.
James profited by his bitter exper
ience. He never again swerved
from the right, and is living now, 6
respected citizen of his native place
Grace has never forgotten her
extraordinary leigh-ride, and never
will, for her name is now Grace
Normandy, and she loves her plain
noble hearted husband with true af
fection.

HERvY BANK RoBBERY.-The Ma
tional Bank of Norwalk, Conn.,, was
entered by burglars on Thursday
night last, and the safe blown open and
robbed. The burglary was not dis
covered until the next morning. The
vault had been broken open, and ly-
ing on the floor, at u distance of 10
feet, was the iron door of the safe, a
mass of iron weighing 1000 pounds,
where it was blown with powder.
The explosion occurred about l
o'clock in the morning, and was heard
by several persons, who endeavored
to ascertain the cause, without sue
cess.
The loss of the bank amounts to
about $4,000, and that of private de-
positors to $4,000 or $4,000. The
burglars tools, which were left behind
are similar to those used in the Ocean
Bank robbery. One of the depositors
was exceedingly fortunate, he had
placed his entire fortune in an old
pocket-book in his box, which was
found in the rubbish all safe.

FRIGHTFUL CASUALTY AT INDIAN
APOLIS.

Explosion of Boiler at the Fair Grounds
20 pessons Killed and fully 100 wound
ed.
The telegraph of Friday evening,
gives the particulars of a terrible acci-
dent which occurred at the Fair
Grounds at indianapolis on that after
noon, by the explosion of steam
boiler attached to the saw-mill of
Messrs. Sinker s. Co. of that CITY,
The explosion occurred a few min
utes before four o'clock when the
grounds were crowded with visitors.
The boiler was fred up for a trial of
speed with another saving machine.
Just before the explosion there was a
pressure of l20 pounds of steam, and
the blue steam from the lower gauge
indicated lack of water in the boiler.
The explosion was upwards. and the
sound was like the report of a heavy
cannon. Had the explosion been hor-
izontal the loss of lite would have
been much greater, as thousands were
i'll the immediatee neighborhood of
the scene of the disaster.
The excitement was fearful when
the cause of the report became known.
There was rush to the scene of the
disaster, to ascertain the injured, and
the most heart-rending scenes were
witnessed when children discovered
parents, or parents children. Several
bodies were blown to atoms, and por-
tions, were picked up. that had been
scattered over the grounds. Ten per-
sons were instantly killed, four OF
whom were so horribly mangled that
their remains could not be identified,
and up to eleven o'clock on Friday
night eleven more had died, and others
were expected to die. About hun
dred others were injured but not dan
gerously. Three horses were killed.
A piece of the boiler weighing 400
pounds was thrown fully one hun
dred yards into cattle stall but the
beast was uninjured. The wounded
received every attention. The gates
of the Fair were kept open on Satur-
day, the admission fees to be appro-
priated to the wounded. Those pres
ent who had been on many a battle
field: say they never witnessed more
fearful and sickening scene.

The Radicals and Reputation,

The radical stumpers and press eV-
erywhere denounce the advocates of
the payment of the $40 bonds in
greenbacks, as rank repudiators--
They seem to have become oblivions
of the past record of their party on
this subject. The radical State Con-
vention of Ohio, which met i'll the
city of Columbus on the 4th of March,
1868, among others, adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolced, That the Republican party
pledges itself to the faithful payment
of the public debt according to the
law; and we hereby express our con-
viction that, according to the laws un-
der which the five-twenty bonds were
issued, said bonds should be paid in
the currency of the country, which
may be legal-tender when the gov
ernment shall be prepared to redeem
such bonds.
Reso7ced, That we heartily approve
the policy of Congress in stopping the
contraction of the currency, and be-
lieye that the issue of currency should
be commensurate with the industrial
and commercial interests of the coun-
try.
The radical State Convention of In
diana, which was held on the 20th OF
February, 1868, were quite as explicit
on the question as were their brethren
of Ohio. Here is the resolution
adopted by them on the same subject :
RESOLVED, That the public debt,
made necessary by the rebellion,
should be honestly paid and all the
bonds issued therefor should be paid
in legal-tenders, commonly called
greenbacks, except where, by their ex-
press terms, they provide otherwise ;
and paid in such quantities as as will
make the circulation commensurate
with the commercial wants of the
country, and 90 as to avoid the great
imitation of the currency, and an in
crease in the price of gold.
This cry of "repudiation" is as
senseless as the rest of the radical
twaddle. Even the leaders of that
party throughout the West did not
dream of its being any breach of faith
to pay these $40 bonds in the legal
tender currency of the country, until
their congressional leaders had sold
out the party body and soul, to the
bondholders. 1t was upon promises
and pledges like these, held out to the
people, that they were enabled to tri-
umph. What honest man can now
support party that has so basely
abandoned its avowed principles and
violated its pledges?

The FLAG OF DISTRESS Run Up
Governor Hayes has run up the flag
of distress. In agony he cries out
that if Mr.. Pendleton shall be elected
Governor, it will sbe equivalent to
the voters of Ohio rebuking the Re-
publican Congress for so far changing
the contract as to pledge the govern
ment to the payment of the $40
bonds in gold; that it will be accept
ed as q declaration that they want
more greenbacks; that it will be
verdict that the people would soon
or drink coffee and tea free from duty
than to pay forty and sixty per cent
duty that diamonds and such gauds
shall be required to pay duty of ten
per cent. only; that in the great part
nership of labor and capital human
intellect, hands and blood shall be the
better paid member.-Wayne COuntJ

Don PIATT don't seem to think much
of Gov. HAYES and his style of speech
making, which relates to State affairs
and ignores the financial questions. In
a recent letter to the Cincinnati Com
merciaz he says:
"The fact is, we Republicans at the
West ought to, before it is too late, de-
fine our positions on these great ques-
tions. And Gov. Hayes, instead of
wasting his time in discussing ques-
tions of State policy before thin audi
ences, ought to boldly avow what he
firmly believes, that we are not chain
ed to the wheels of moneyed inter-
est that is as mean and selfish as it is
unprincipled.
We would like to know how Don
Piatt or any other Republican can
hope to avert the certain doom that
awaits the country from the success
of the Radical party and its policy.
That party is "chained to the wheels
of that same insatiate money power,
and its leaders are endeavoring to
subordinate ever other interest in the
country to its rapacity. The only
way to prevent the enslavement of the
people is to secure the success of the
Democracy, which is in full sympa.
thy with the producing classes, and
committed against the establishment
of privileged orders in this country tc
rob the laborers of their hard earned
substance.

How many Democrats in Ohio
two years ago cursed themselves for

MANTUA.
CORRESPONDENTS.

Il A collision took place at Mantua
Station last week, which came very
near resulting in a total loss of, at
least, one Radical vote at the election
this fall. 1t appears that Mr.. o. G.
Atwater, a respectable citizen of that
village, was going peaceably along the
road towards his home, with sack of
flour on his shoulder, unconscious of
danger, when horse and carriage
came up behind him, driven at furi-
Gus rate by David Pope, of Auburn,
who was on his way to hear Governor
Hayes speak at Youngstown. Pope's
great anticipations of the Governors
eloquence. the beauties and benefits of
the Fifteenth Amendment, or the
wool of his African brother, had SO
completely obscured his vision that he
was utterly unable to see an object of
the size Of man ahead of him, con-
sequently Mr.. Atwater was knocked
down and run over, thereby causing
an unexpected fall in breadstuff, and
disturbing the equilibrium and equa-
nimity of very worthy and sober
citizen, besides furnishing a source of
merriment for the by-standers, but
fortunately, without causing any very
serious damage.
DURING recent visits at the so-called
Agricultural Fairs, held at Burton in
Geauga County, and Garrettsville in
this County, several features of each
Fair were particularly noticed, differ
ing from each other, in many respects.
At Burton the grounds were infested
by pickpockets, who boldly and OPEN
iy, with stentorian lungs and brazen
imRudence, used every artifice known
to the fraternity, to cause transfer of
dimes and quarters, from the pockets
of the crowd to their own, and were
too successful by the aid of few In
dians, snakes, monkeys and other var
mints, as well as quack medicines.
swings, air guns, and such gimcracks,
to say nothing of the two prices
charged at the entrance gates. AS an
Agricultural Fair and an agreeable
place of resort for pleasure and prof
it, for the crowds of people who were
there, it was a grand mistake, but as a
humbug and swindle, it was bril-
liant success. Very differently con-
Quoted was the Fair at Garrettsville,
in its arrangements for the comfort OF
the visitors. A reasonable price OF
admission, and total exclusion of all
SHOWS and swINDLEs of every des-
Ecriptlon from the grounds, was COM
mendable characteristic at this Fair,
thus allowing the vast concourse OF
people who assembled there, to enjoy
the pleasures of the occasion, with
comfort and convenience. We hope
it will be long, before our CARROTS
vile neighbors will convert their well.

get in these days of unequal and un.
just taxation.
