END OF A REMARKABLE CRIMINAL CASE.
One night in January, 1858, Samuel
Ketchum, then treasurer Of Coshocton
county, Ohio, was found in his office, tied
hand and foot, gagged, and considerably
bruised, the safe unlocked, and about
100000 of the county funds gene. Ketchum
stated that after he had locked the safe and
was about to leave the Office he was set
upon by robbers, knocked down, the keys
taken from him, the safe unlocked, after
which he was bound and gagged 80 as to
prevent his giving the alarm until the rob-
bers had made good their escape. The
county officials at once set to work to ferret
out the robbers. A large reward was offer
ed for their detection; detectives were en-
ployed, and in the vain effort to bring them
to Justice about $4,000 was spent. But no
clue could be found they had covered up
their tracks too well, and for nearlyt ten years
the matter remained mystery. But, about
one year ago suit for borrowed money
was brought against Ketchum, the ex-
treasurer, by James Brown, one of the
leading citizens Of that county, q man re-
puted to be worth over hundred thousand
dollars, and this led to the exposure of the
whole matter connected with the robbery.
Ketchum at once made clean breast of it.
The plot to rob the safe was concocted be-
tween himself and Brown. After they had
secured the money, Brown, in order to dis
arm suspicion, bound and gagged Ketchum,
and left him in the condition in which he
was found in the office on the night of the
robbery. Brown was Immediately arrested.
He applied for change Of venue. and the
trial was transferred to Licking county.
At Newark last week the trial was conclu-
ded he was convicted and sentenced to ten
years in the penitentiary and to pay fine

The nominations.

Of the nominations, the Philadelphia
North american says: General Geary is
veteran soldier of two of the most glori
Gus wars of the Republic. In both cases
he went to seek no holiday service. He
served fully and ably, and in the last and
greatest war he only he returned to the
bosom of his native Commonwealth when
the great army of Sherman was disbanded
after its ever-memorable campaign through
Georgia and the Carolinas.
Such hero is fit target for the sneers
OF the party that went into the Presiden-
tial campaign of 1864 with a platform
pronouncing the war a failure. The peo-
pie Ell lorsed him in 1866, when he was
elected their Governor, and we cannot be-
lieve that they viii now reverse that ver-
dict in 1869, after he has honorably full
filed the responsible duties of his high
office, but will rc-elect him by great ma
jority,
Judge Williams is no new or untried
man. AS Judge of the court of Allie
ghany county, his record is one in the
highest degree honorable to himself His
character stands enviably high with the
bench and bar Of the State, and his thor
oughlv judicial cast of mind BELTS him for
the Office to which he has been nominated.
1t is ;he same he now fills by appointment
of the Governor, made upoC the resigna-
ton of Judge Strong, and we have heard
no objection to his course and conduct on
that bench. As regards the Importance
of the office, we need only remind our
readers that of the Judges now on the
bench of the Supreme Court, Messrs
Sharswoed and Thompson are Democrats
in strict partisan sense, and that If an
other Democrat be now elected to fill
Strong's vacancy. that party will again
have entire control Of the highest Court
in the Commonwealth, three being ma
iority Of that bench.

THE late Captain G G--, of Vermont,
was always satisfied. He was one Of the
early and most successful breeders of me-
rino sheep in his part of the State. The
Captain had large native cosset that he
valued highly.
His son came in one morning and told
him that the old cosset had twins
The captain said ''he was glad she
could bring up two as we'll as one"
Soon after the son reported one Of The
twins dead He then said
The orc left would be worth more In
tdo tall tlan both"
Ia the afternoon the boy told his fathe@
th;,t the other lamb was dead.
Il am glad said he, Il can now fatten
the old sheep"
The next morning the son reported the
old eosset dead.
That is just what 1 wanted now I
have got rid of the breed"

Terrible scene In a sIcnagerie.

A travelling mena9erie, situated at one
end Of fair held in the neighbJrhood Of
Orleans, France, suddenly disappeared in
the night time leaving no trace behind
The cause WIS afterwards ascertainod to
be as follows:
The wife Of the proprietor, who was
nursing little girl OF five months, was
summoned into the menagerie by one of
the attendants, at about four o'clock the
preceding afternoon, to give directions
about the service. In passing along out
side the cages where the animals were
confined her dress swept the bars of one
which contained lion, the ferocious in
stincts of which had been excited by the
smell of raw meat, just brought ia for feed
ing time and lying at hand The animal
caught hold of the gown with one paw,
and, as the woman turned suddenly round.
snatched with the other the child out Of
her arms and dragged it within the cage
The poor mother filed the air with her
cries, and even struggled to disengage the
i1fant from the jaws of the beast, but all
in vain and when assistance arrived the
child had already been half devoured-
The horror Of the husband, who came In
soon after, was mingled with rage, and
seizing gun he shot the lion dead on the
spot. Immediately after, orders fer in
slant departure were issued.
