The School House situated two
miles west Of this place was broken
into, on the night Of the 22d by two
roughs, named J. Hoffecker and
Demo Sloat. They seemed to have
broken jail at Tiffin and reached here
TIesdAy night. They entered by the
window, breaking off the shutter.
Tney then proceeded to burst open the
stand, and then went out through the
dor and breaking that lock. Mr..
King, the teacher, arriving at'an early
hour in the morning was enabled to
track them in the snow. After over
taking them at the LOudOn Church
where they had again taken lodgings,
he had them watched till proper
authority could be secured to arrest
them. They are bad characters and

will go to Columbus, where they are

There is a certain class Of Rep1b =
cans who seem 10 consider that the
Republican party in power must do
some wonderful and startling thing.
The Administration, it is assumed,
should 90 to war with England about
the Alabama Claims; or Canada
should be annexed; or certain Islands
should be bought, and other PROPOSE
tions that appear to be for the ggran-
dizement Of the United States, but
all Of which either necessitate war or
20 deep into the Treasury Of the peo-
Ile.
An these propositions look well
enough on paper, but when tried by
the lizht ofreason they viii be found
without foundation. To the Repub-
Hcan paTty-the party OF the people
we owe an established country, firm
IL fixed forever. Since the war the
Republican party has held the reigns
Of Government, and the result shows
reduced taxes and steady decrease
Of the national debt. This is to con-
time as long as that party remainsin
power, and that viii be FOR many
years to come.
II is entirely unnecessary for the
Republican party to go 10 war or
squander treasure for islands. 1t can
stand upon itsrecOrd with perfect safe

Thanksgiving at the Ohio PenIten-
fiaFF

The Ohio State Journal, describing
the Thanksgiving dinner in the Ohio
Penitentiary, has the following:
Colonel Burr made few remarks,
stating that in common with all the
people of the land they had met to
observe Thanksgiving Day. He
wanted this done as though all men
were one family. That is, this
Thanksgiving dinner should approach
as near to the Family THANKSGIVING
as it was possible to have it. All in
prison had much to be thankful for.
There had been freedom from sick
ness and there had been no calamity.
He stated that on this occasOn the
rules would be relaxed, the men could
converse with each other and could
carry away from the table such arti.
cles of food as they did not wish to
eat now.
After prayer by the Rev. Mr.. New
ton, all commenced eating at the tap
of the bell. At first no one spoke
These silent men did not talk at once.
There was for time an absolute
bashfulness all along the line. Then
some one whispered to Joe pass the
sugar, and Joe whispered back,
(which is Bill?'' and some one re.
marked on the bigness of the cake,
and some one else had something to
sav about the coffee and gradually the
conversation buzz rose up to the
cheerful dinner standpoint. The
men enjoying the new freedom, the
dinner, and the rest that came after
ward, with some gentlemen, made af-
ter dinner speeches. Then with the
remains Of the coed dinner in their
pockets or hands, the men at two
O'Clock P. NJ, went again to work.

but five tons weight hauls train quarter Of

speed Of thirty miles an hour. Such road

one-third the present style of roads and, in
operating, the expenses are in stilAmore ia

about i've tons, and ten tons is heavy weight

carry five or SIX times that as freight. In this
