The farmers Of Hancock county
have 81 last organized = Farmers
Club. Great interest is manifested
in il, and the result viii be of great
use 10 the membeTs.--..-....On Tuesday
night Of last week the Touring mil
OF !. Parker & Co, was entered
through q back window and five sacks
Of flour stolen. The officers arrested
John Schwab and Harry ETb, who on
being brought before the Mayor, testi-
led that while in 9. state Of intoxiea-
tioa George Grouse had induced them
to commit the deed. The -four was
foun1 secreted on Crouse's premises.
John Schwab was ordered to return
the -four and pay the cos-s Of prose
cution, and Harry was fined > and
costs. George Grouse was bound over
to court. Some weeks ago man,
whom we viii call L, living down
the river a few miles, received n cir
cular from some firm in New York
City, stating that if he would send
them SO, they would send him in re-
turn something worth 500. Think
ing, no doubt, that he was going to
make haui'' off Of them, L. sent
the SO to this very liberal company,
expecting il return ten times that
amount in-welI we don't know what.
In 2 few days a small box came by
express to l., marked c. o. d. SO.
L. did not exactly understand this,
but he raised the money and lifted
the box, thinking he would make S6l
anyhow. Having secured his prize
he started for home, but before he
had gone far his anxiety became so
great to see his fortune that he sat
down by the side Of the road and with
a couple Ofstone5 broke'open the box,
and commenced to examine his treas
ure. which consisted in a dozen cast
iron bag hooks, worth about ten cents.
You may imagine his feelings-we
don't care about it. People who came
along that way shortly after say that
the air had q Blush tint, and that
there was n strong smell of sulphur,
from which it is thought that he swore
some..........Last week, in the case of
the State of Ohio, rs. Jones, the Court
asked the prisoner where he lived,
and he replied "down here" jerking
his finger over his shoulder toward
the jail
sANDUsKY COUNTY.
On Friday evening last as two sons
of Mr.. Aaron Dersham, who resides
in Washington township, were riding
the horses to the pasture field, one of
them wanted to remove his boot, and
in order to do so without dropping
the hitching strap to the ground, he
fastened it to one Of his legs. He
then tried to remove his boot. but in
doing so sat too far back on the horse,
which kicked up and threw him off.
The horse then started to run, and
dragged the boy by the leg about forty
rods, through a pair of bars and over
a culvert, injuring him very serious
". The other boy Immediately has
tened to the barn and informed the
father of what had occurred, when he
hastened to the spot and relieved him
from his perilous position. The lad
was insensible, and was found to have
his jaw broken in two places, his head
badly cut and bruised, and numer-
Gus bruises about the body. DIR. Rice
was Immediately sent for, and togeth-
er with DR.. Phillips, dressed the injur-
les, and made the sufferer as comfort
able as possible. He still remained
insensible on Monday, but it was
thought he would recover unless in
fIammation supervened......L. f. Ans
den, out of a fleet of four vessels out
in a late storm, loaded with lumber,
IosU two full cargoes and a deck load
1ff another. The scow Elyria, loaded
for him at Oak HarbOr, went ashore
at Erie, Pa, on Sunday night. The
vessel is supposed to be a total wreck.
The crew were saved. The Schooner
VIM. Kelley, commanded by Capt.
James Campbell, who is well known
by almost everybody in Fremont,
having carried lumber for Amsden
the whole Of this summer. The
Schooner Snow Drop was in the same
gale, and in order to save her the deck
load was thrown overheard. The loss
of Capt. Campbell has caused a gloom
to be east upon all of our seafaring
men of Fremont, and others who had
become acquainted with him.
