Over a year ago, T. c. NIghman, of our
city, bought a pair Of young horses from
a stranger named Rogers, living in Ash
land county, and who proved his identity
and standing before Nighman would buy.
The bargain was made and concluded,
and Rogers went on his way, removing
west to Indiana. The horses changed
hands two or three times, and all was
thought right till a couple of weeks or so
ago, when a Mr.. Simon Clay, of Ashland
county, happened to be in Massillon, saw
of the horses and claimed ii as his
Clay got out a writ of replevin and took
that horse, and found the other south of
Canton n few miles, getting n Nh. Clay, q
cousin, ut MassIllon, to go his security in
double the amount. OF course the narties
thus deprived of their horses came back
on NIghman. who Investigated quickly,
and made a trip to Ashland TO find the
whereabouts of Rogers. He soon got the
necessary papers, a requisition from the
Governor of Ohio, the order Of arrest from
the Governor of Indiana, and in due time
brought Mr.. Rogers back to Ashland Co.,
In limbo. Rogers found no difficulty in
making proof that the horses were his and
not Clay's, his brother-in-law. 1t seemed
Rogers stood high as an honest man among
his old neighbors. The next thing for
Nighman to do was to nab Mr.. Simon
Clay, and this was quickly done. Clay
was brought to Canton and lodged in Jail,
charged with perjury, having sworn that
the animals We're his property. He had a
hearing before Esquire Slanker last Thurs
day, but waived examination, and falling
to get bail, was remanded to Jail to await
his trial at the mex term of our Common
Pleas. The horse case is likely to cost
some one dear.

Euronenn War News.

Cable dispatches report the Prussian headauar-
tiers at MeauN. twenty-eignt miles eaSy northeast
from Paris, while large parties of their scouts have
been seen actually within range of the fire of the
forts. Their advancing armies seem to be ap-
preaching from various points Of an extended
seml-clrcle, sweeping around from Sedlis, on the
northeast, twhere they captured a railroad train
on Thursday, aud fired on some others.) TO Meiun
and Fontalneblcau ON the SOUTH; hut heavy bodies
of troops are much nearer Paris. The day and
hour when they will take position within striking
distance depends. of course on the length of time
which may be necessary TO bring up the rear Of
their immense force. They will not cease to move
uD until the army Il in full strength. A strong
force has been sent out from Paris 10 encounter

BILE to detached parties. Some fighting has taken
place within six miles Of Paris. II j. claimed that
Trochu has 4l"uuo men under arms in and around

wOrkmcn. The estimate is probably exaggerated

complete and there will probably be little further
from thar city until some decisive military
events have occurred. Meanwhile her citizens
appear TO be resolute IN their determination to
make the most vigorous defense possible. The
reports Of enrolment of considerable forces of
volunteers throughout the country continue, and
il is possible that from this material effective
armies may yet be consolidated. Indeed, one has
already been organized for protection Ofthe prov

besiegers. have completed their third line, have

should not Immediately succeed, il is not prOba-

bombardment. COlmar, some miles souto ofStras-
burg, has been captured by Baden troops, after a
brief struggle. A panic has seized the merchants
of Havre, and they have been putting their goods
and yaluables on shipboard with all speed. The
capture of that place is evidently anticipated.

A large number of our German felIow-citizens
ladies and gentlemen, met in Harter's Hall on
Wednesday evening last, and organized by calling
John kaber, Esq, TO the chair, and II. Meyer and
Mr.. oemhil vice presidents, and J. c. Langhans
Secretary.
An able and eloquent ad dress was delivered in
German by DIR. Meyer of Cleveland, which fire.
quently elected applause. Judge Underhil COM
-menced some remarks, but the cry of fire inter-
rnpted the proceedings and brought the Judges
speech TO a close.
The following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The excessive ambition of the En-
peror Napoleon has involved the German nations
stroy the unity, rights and freedom of our native
fatherland; and,
WHEREAS, Many thousand of our german breth-
rem nave sacrlhed their lives for their country,
leaving thousands of widows and orphans,in their
efforts to save the honor and rights of the German
nation, and in defending their country against
who, As we hope, at Sedan, betrayed his nation for
the last time; therefore be il
R~eSOtrod, That we admire the bravery of our vic
toriOus brethren, whereby the enemy was driven
back and the disturber Of peace captured, and
hope that out Of this baptism of blood will arise
q general peace and = free united Germany.
RoSotcod, That the Germans. land those friends
who sympathise with their course, be-requested
70 contribute to the Patriotic Aid Society, for the
wounded defenders of Germany, and the widows
and orphans who fell for the fatherland.
ReSOtreL, That subscription lists shall be circu.
lated in this meeting, to give those present an
opportunity to subscribe literally.
Rcsotrod, That the Executive committee be in
structed to forward to the Central committee in
the old country, all collected funds in the short
est and cheapest way.
ResolUed, That we tender oar sincere thanks to
the speaker, DR.. Jacob Meyer, for his iberality
and his patriotic, rs we'll as his enthusiastic
speech.

Democrats of Maine, we salute Won
with pride and with satisfaction You
accomplished q noble work at the polls
yesterday. Without the prestige of vic
tory, without organization, and without
money, you met the dominant party flush
ed with the pride of long continued sue
cess, fortified with unstinted means. and
armed with thousands of offices, and suc-
ceeded IN not only maintaining YOUR
ground, but in driving the enemy back
with great loss. The Republican majority
of over $1,000, which that party had in
1866, has beeh steadily whitfield down I'M
TIL, according to our figures, it will now
be less than 5000, a gain of more than
1L,oOO the present year. At this rate, one
more trial, and the State Will not only be
redeemed, but show a handsome footing
upon the right side.
In s g the united Republican vote gave
them some 1900 majority over the Dem
ocrats. The most ~sanguine Republicans
claim only some 5000 majority as the re-
suit Of yesterday, and we concede them
less than 5000, and we have certainly
made a democratic gain of over 10000
votes IN the State. Mr.. Lynch is elected
to Congress in this district by about 1000
majority, his loss from 1868 Will be about
1900.
With the meagre representative returns
at hand 1T would be unwise to venture
any opinion upon the strength of Cham

SPARE the rod and spoil the ohild," is
a very old saying and may be applicable
to some cases but, in our opinion, to beat
children rs numerically as a certain Store
keeper, the father Of a large family, in
this City, has been in the habit of doing
of late, is an almost objectionable crime.
The frantic cries of the children attract
the attention Of the neighbors, who have
been repeatedly shocked at the brutality
shown by this cold blooded parent-Rep
and Rep of last week.
Our neighbors should have given the
name of that "Store keeper" We have
statutes against inficting cruelty upon
diuab animals which sometimes should be
enforced. especially when boys abuse COWS
in driving them to the pound, and assur-
edly parents who beat their children IN
mercilully should at least be exposed.

WE learn the barn of Mr.. Cyrus Young,
n of the largest and finest in the-coun-
ty, situated near the Massillon coal mines,
was entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday
night last. 1t was well filled with grain
and hay and two horses persisted in the
burning building. We learn the barn and
its contents were valued at some twelve
thousand dollars, on which was an insur-
ance of four thousand. Not long since a
barn belonging to Henry Foltz in the
same ~neighborhood was set on fire and
burned as was also done to other build
ings belonging to the coal works. There
seems to be a bad state of things existing

Jacob Cullor, of Tuscarawas tp., in this
county, died very suddenly last Saturday
while drilling wheat. He complained Of
not feeling well, and got off the drill to
walk, when he fell over and expired. His
son was with him, but nothing could be
done. His age was 60, and he leaves q
wife and family to lament his sudden
death. His funeral took place on Mon
day, and was very largely attended. His
loss will be greatly felt in his neighbor-
hood, for he was a most worthy man.

NVertz a Kings Carriage Mnnufae-
tory.

We paid a visit yesterday to the carriage manu-
factory Of Messrs. Wertz a King Of our city, locat-
ed on Poplar and 9TH streets. Their new three
story brick building, Just completed is a fine and
convenient structure, 81 by A. The three floors
are conveniently dividedinto different apartments
for the workmen in iron, uphOlstering, and paint
ing. The workers in wood occupy the old shop
west. The large frame building in which are stor-
ed their finished work fronts on Poplar street.
wertZ x King speaks for itself. and the fact that
they never have much on hand is evidence that
their carriages, buggicS &c, meet with a ready sale.
We observed an elegant carriage barOuche style,
Just completed for Mr. Madison, of MasSillOn. Ii
is certainly a credit for any establishment and Is
worthy Of a visit from any one wishing to pur-
chase such a carriage or caring to look ut their
fine.workmanship. Messrs. Wertz & King are es-
pecialy careful to put the best of material in their
work and to see that every thing is properly put
together. This is doubtless the reason thar the
demand for their work has increased and thar they
have been compelled to enlarge their establish
ment aud increase their help. They now employ
about thirty men and all are busy.
