, "rHE STORY OF A GOLD WATCf-
! Two UNPROTECTED YOUNG FEMALE
ARRESTED FOR LARCENY."-The alb "
is the caption ofquite long item in thu
Davenport Daily Gazette OF the 10th
inst, the gist of which is that a letter
was received the day previous by the
marshal, written at Upton, aud request
ing the arrest aud detention of three
young women, who were described, for
stealing a gold watch and other jewel
ry-$2OO worth. the letter said, Two of
the described were soon found, arrested
taken to Jail and searched, but no prop
erty found.
The Gazette further says:"the accused
are quite good looking, about Is or ~
years of age, and have the appearance OF
being physically able to make their way
through the world. They give their
names as Robidee, and claim to be Sis
tiers. Their statement is, that the letter
which has caused them this trouble was
written by a man in Upton, who did 1t
to get even with them for giving
shelter to his wife when she was COM
to leave him on account of ill-treatment.
The third female described in the letter
was the wife. She has not yet been
found. That they can clear themselves
of any theft, they say they have no
fears. When they get a chance they
propose to have the writer of the letter,
who, they allege, has signed fictitious
name to his communication, arrested,
and shown up in such way as an
honest husband would not fancy. They
have no idea of having their pleasure trip
SO interfered with without getting
even."
The next days Ga=cHe continues the
"Story ola Watch,' by saying that tele-
grams to the writer of the accusing
letter and the Sheriff of Cedar County
were unanswered, and the girls had been
released; and, being out of money, sent
to \ hotel until they could hear from
friends. This is the last we hear of any
of the parties to the scrape, all of whom
will be recognized 10y most of our citi-
zens, to whom the interesting part of
the affair will be the assurance that
Upton has met with Il loss which can
he counted naught but gain.

"SIMoN BuSKUMFUNNy" writes to
the Mechanicsville Press from Clarence
to give, as he says, 1.-THE erciting news
of our quiet little city, and vicinity"-a
quiet excitement no doubt. Railroad

ton; and, we infer, the cause of the
excitement. We learn from Simon's
letter that the line Of road running
from Sabula to Iowa City, (the projected
Milwaukee, Iowa and Kansas, probably
is, or must come through this place" -
Also the rumor that the portion of the
North western r. II. from Cedar Rapids
to Clinton will soon be abandoned, and
more feasible and less expensive route
established by the way Of Anamosa."-
The writer adds the statement that the
citizens of Clarence are not at all troub-
led by this impending crisis because
"they expect the road above mentioned
which will he a greater gain than the
toss of the other" In order to estimate,
however the total gain from the change,
it will be necessary for Simon to inform
his hearers how great gain "the loss
Of the other is considered to be.
Simon sympathizes with Stanwood, in
case the Northwestern should elope, as
follows: But for q moment think OF
poor, little, old down-trodden, deserted
Stanwood. Herscitizens arc trembling
in their boots. The consequence OF
which is, shattered foundation Of COW

CHRONICLE THE OSTH.-And it came
to pass in the reign of Joseph the
Taurine, who in those days was ruler
over the city of the Tiptonjtes, which is
in the borders Of Cedar, in the land of
the Hawk eyes, that, having authority
from the great council, the sons of the
children of Cedar gathered themselves
from their tents by ones and by twos
and came up to the polls and declared
after the manner Of their nation, that
no more ale, wine or beer should be sold
throughout all the country of Cedar by
any of the people thereof.
Now it had come to pass before, in
the reign of Smith the elder, that the
children Of the city Of the Tiptonites had
SO declared; and because of this there
had been much anger in that city kim
died against they who ruled; and one
Hit-ite whose surname was Bascom had
drawn near to that city, oven to the
very gates thereof, and there had pitch
ed his tent and tapped his kegs, and did
there offer to the dry and afflicted chill
dren of the city fluid consolation. And
the place OF habitation of Bascom was
known among men as the Sap House.
Now when the edict was made in the
later reign Of Joseph that within all the
borders of Cedar no fluid consolation
could be offered to any of the inhabi-
tants thereof, behold there was mourn
ing in the house Of Bascom, which is
the Sap House-Bascom mourning for
his customers and refusing to be COM
forted because they were not-going to
last much longer.
And even before the evil day drew
nigh, while the time of his visitation
was yet afar off, did Bascom remove
his habitation, which is the Sap House,
from without the gates of the city and
drew nigh to the temple of justice
which is in the very midst thereof
Nor is it to be known at all from that
day henceforth as the place Of fluid
consolation, which is the Sap House,
but it shall be instead to all the people
of the children of Upton but a dry
stumbling block, where nothing that
doth int >xicate, save only herring and
bologna, shall enter in or have place.

EsTRAY HORSE AND BUGGY.-About
ten and half o'clock last Saturday
night, horse came leisurly drawing
an unoccupied buggy up Cedar
street. When about opposite the court
house, he was observed by ID. NJ. Bos-
sert, who took possession of the rig and
drove it to the livery stable. 1t proved
to belong to Wear, at Clarence, and had
been hitched by its driver some seven
miles southeast of town. The hitching
strap was broken or cut, and the young
man who was thus left to walk home
and ruminat, upon the uncertainty Of
doubtful things, is of the opinion that
some one saved the walk that was
left to him by, driving the horse to.
or near town. 1t does seem somewhat
singular that the horse, which was high
spirited, should walk all the way alone
without even disarranging strap of the
harness.
