The Lost Children Of Wynockie


There are few who have not read with moist
eyes the melancholy story OF the three little
brothers who were lost in the mountains, near
Wynockie, New Jersey, on New Years day ;
and who, after wandering about for - hours,
persisted from cold, hunger and fatigue.
From where their bodies were found, the
lights of sixteen dwellings could be seen and
woman testified that, on the night Of their
death, she thought she heard children's voices,
from the high rock upoa which they stood ,
calling repeatedly, Papa, papa, papa -
,Iohnny, the youngest, was found wrapped In
his brothers coats, with the next youngest ly
ing beside him. The eldest had apparently
kept watch upon the highest point OF rocks,
until overcome with fatigue, and benumbed
with cold, he had rolled from his lookout to the
ground below. ....... .a....

PERJURY.-James CALL resident of HOOK
ing county, is now confined in the Vinton coun-
ty Jail, on charge of perjury, in procuring q
license OF Judge Mayo of this county for the
marriage of Carni Call, hisson, aged about IL
years. and Harriet Davis daughter OF COL
Levi Davis ofLogan, aged about lB years. Cali
resided about two miles from Logan. He wish
ed his son to marry the daughter of Col Davis;
Col, Davis being opposed to the marriage Gail
sent his son to this county about the I'D OF July
to procure license. The son informed Judge
Mayo during their conversation, that he was
resident of Washington township, Hooking
county, and that his father consented to the
marriage, that Miss Davis resided in swan
township, Vinton county, that her father was
dead, but her mother consented to the marriage,
The Judge advised him to procure the written
consent of his father and of the mother Of Miss
Davis He went away; and on the 18th oil Jul
ly the father and son both put in appearance at
the Probate office, making second application
for license. James Call consented TO the mar
riage oihis son and swOre that Miss Davis was
residentof this county, and that her father was
dead, and then gave the Judge written consent
of the mother attested by one witness The Ii
cense, upon this representation, was issued.-
The truth is all the parties reside near Logan,
and the father Of Miss Davis is alive. Miss Da-
Wis had accompanied her lover and his father
to this pace-all stopping at the Hubert House,
where they were markedly US, Mcdowell
Esq, within half an hour after the license wa'
issued.
A warrant was sworn out by Col. Davis for
the arrest of Call for perjury; on the Sth inst
he was arrested; on the 9th inst. he was trans
ported by rail to this town, where he had pre-
liminary examination before Esq, Mcdowell,

Attempt to Rob the Noble
County Treasury.

On Wednesday evening, July
9th, the Treasurer's office of
Noble county was broken open
and an attempt made to rob
the treasury.
The first thing known Of the
affair was at an early hour next
morning when Treasurer Fos-
ter came to his Office, and found
the outer door of the Office
propped open with a broken
board, the rooms darkened by
oil blinds, the iron door of the
vault wrenched off, and two
doors of the safe torn open.-
The villains had become alarm.
ed when they reached the third
and last door of the safe cover.
ing the burglar proof depart
ment and the money. Not a
cent was taken.
Some of our people had ris,
en- about half past three this
morning and started for Mi,
eta and Woodsfeld, and it is
supposed that their movements
around the public square
frightened the robbers away
and saved $25,000 to the coun.
ty. There is no police in our
quiet little country town and
hitherto no watchman at the
Treasury, but hereafter an
armed watch will be kept in
the Treasurer's office. On en-.
tering the Office early we found
chisels, hammers, saws, levers,
wedges and pieces Of broken
iron lying on the floor. The
great iron door Of the vault was
literally bent and torn to pieces.
This had been done by driving
in between the door and its
fastenings long slim wedges,
and then introducing a long
scantling and using it as a lev
er. Thus six heavy iron bolts
were broken and taken off,
The safe was then attacked |
with the results as described. |
No person saw the scoundrels
here while at work, but they |
were seen between this place
and Lowell, three men on foot,
dressed going toward
the Ohio or Muskingum rivers.
The same three had been seen
near Camphell's Sta
ton on Wednesday evening
about dusk. 1t was observed |
by persons who saw them that
they had iron tools in their
sacks, as they were heard rat
tling.
The Commissioners offer
81, 900 for their apprehension
and conviction.

One of the most remarkable

One of the most remarkable
events of the political campaign
now soon to open in full vigor
is an attempt to revive the old
Wing party. The effort to do
this has not, as yet, extended
beyond an isolated point or two
in Tennessee and Mississippi,
and it is their thought that the
move is simply a Radical de-
vice to keep the Conservative
elements from uniting in one
solid mass against the party
Of course, this is the correct
explanation, but our friends, the
enemy, are hard pushed when
thus going down among the
dead men for aid. H..

J. T. Raper, Editor Of the Vinton
Record, takes part in Small Troub'
les in a Family, and ISLANDERS The
Husband.
Communicated
Editor Enquirer: l very much
dislike to see public journal en-
gage itself in the publication of any
thing that is calculated to weaken
personal confidence, or strengthen
ignorance and superstition, vice and
crime; and much more disgusting is
it to hear ofa public editor publish
ing everything he may chance
to hear, Of q public or private char.
acter, much ofwhich he has positive
knowledge of being false and lO,o.
But when public jouanals, soliciting
the patronage oftho public, and pro.
Tossing to cultivate and refine So
ciety, will stoop so lO,o; will let
themselves down SO far beneath the
the dignity of a man, as did John
#. Raper, editor proprietor of the
Vmton Record, in his last issue, in
relation to Sylvester WILDER and
wife. l have noticed with what
peculiar impudcncc and unblushing
shame this same editor has attacked
other citizens, and how calmly they
resigned themselves to his power
Perhaps they had respect for the old
proverbial saying, that "a barking
dog was not dangerous" and thus
passed his lying and scandalouS out
rage upon them, without giving it
notice. This may have have beon
the better course for to have pur-
sued; nevertheless, l have known
dogs that have paid their life by
reason Of their fOlly-in meddlirg
in what was not their own matters.
Reasoning from these premises, |
am somewhat at loss to know just
how to treat this canine species;
whether to let him bark away, un-
or not; whether his word
be called in question, or 60 for
truth when false. Accepting the
old theological doctrine, that this
dog with whom I am dealing, had
his life, body and soul contaminated
in the fall, and the doctrine OF total
hereditary depravity predominating
in him-being fully demonstrated
and proven in this case,renders him
an object of my consideration, tho
m unworthy one. Firmly believ-
ing in that sacred injunction Of the
Holy Word, that if l shall resist the
levil he shall flee from me, am
constrained to admonish him, that
will be we'll for him not to let my
better half ever lay eyes upon
lin, unless he wishes to be known
Is y Mexican dog ever afterwards.
Something surprisingly strange that
his Can- Can Canine species shall
walk this wide world over without
making tracks pointing from
whence he came and whittier he is
;oing.
1 know that l am wasting paper,
nix, and time in making this COM
nent upon him, and were it not
act, that he has sunk so far below
he common level of humanity as
o be worthy of notice, 1 should
eek redress in some more proper
hammer. But L am sUlornuIy CON.
inced of the fact that, when his
limy, filthy person is lurking about,
is well for me to lock my doors and
eep both hands upon my pocket
ook.

What confidence can a voter
place in any promises made by
by leaders Of the Radical party.
In 1868 the convention which
nominated Grant, resolved that
