Burglarieus--A Man Shot,

On last Friday night burglars were
discovered attempting an entrance to
Bailey's hardware store, in Rock Creek.
They were observed by the occupants of
a store on the opposite side of the street
"a Mr.. Rathburn and another man
whose name ehaye notlearned. These
two geRdemeR concluded to attempt the
capture of the burglars, and advanced
across the street for that purpose. But
it happened that one of the burglars had
been posted as sentinel, and when he
saw Rathburn and his companion ap-
proach, he ordered them to leave, and
fired a revolver, a shot taking effect in
the right leg of Mr.. Rathburn, who, in
return, fired several shots, none of
which appear to have taken effect, as the
the burglars escaped. Mr.. Rathburn
has offered a reward of three hundred
dollars, and we understand that other
parties have offered additional rewards.
We are informed that the wound sus-
tanned by Mr.. Rathburn is in the feshy
part of the thigh, and is not considered
dangerous. A report reached here on
Monday evening that two men had been
arrested on suspicion, in Dorset, and
that other suspected parties are being
watched and pursued by officers.

On Friday last the relatives and
friends of Mrs. Black, wife Of Nh. d.

Taylor, deceased, were shocked by re-
ceiving the sad intelligence, per tele-

lady, in Memphis, Tenn, from a conges-

We understand that Mr.. Furness,
Superintendent of the Warren Union
Schools, has rendered his resignation, he
having received a '1ouder call" from
Tifln. The present indications are that
but few of the old teachers will be en-
gagged for the fall term.

Railroad Meeting this Evening.

The people of gainesville have, as we
are informed, subscribed SSOO,OOO to the
capital stock of the proposed railroad
from that place to Youngstown. Those
having that enterprise in charge, are
holding meetings in the townships on
the line of the road, and propose TO meet
the citizens of Warren on Wednesday of
this week, at u o'cock, P. NJ, at the office
of Hutchins, Glidden & StuIl, to learn
what aid can be obtained here. There
certainly will be no backwardness on
the part of the citizens of Warren in a
work in which they are so largely inter-
ested. We doubt not the moneyed men
here will be ready to guarantee the
building of the Sharon railroad-com-
pleted, ready for businesses soon as the
gainesville line will reach here. All
interested, turn out.

Graduating Exercises.

The graduating exercises of the class
of 1870, of the Warren High School, took
place Thursday evening last, at Webb's
Hall, rejecting high credit upon teach
ers and pupils. The stage presented an
attractive appearance, the skill and taste
of the young ladies and gentlemen hay
ing been ingeniously and appropriately
exercised in devising decorations. Ev-
ergreens and flowers festooned and beau
titled the stage, while the motto While
we live, let us live" SPAWNED the front,
in arch form. The sentiment quoted
was to be interpreted, we have no doubt,
as a moral and intellectual injunction,
rather THANH the more ordinary and cpl
cureaa sense In the higher and nobler
application, it is MOST commendable, and
should our young friends inscribe it
upon their hearts, as a guiding principle
of life, they will find at the end of the
journey that they have not lived in vain.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. H. L. Badger, after which was
the following programme:
SaiutsteTy-Ripples-Ella VanGorder.
Bursted BUbbes-Alinnie L. Tayler.
Chinks-Fannie NJ, Dickey,
Lamp-Lighting-Kittie Il. HoYard.
The Age OF ImproYement-Benj. l..
Nillikin.
Modern Manias-Emma Minyoung.
Peoples Houses-Mary V. Brett.
Life's Mysteries - Frederick J.. r.
Crater.
Valedictory.
Battle Before Victory - Eugene L.
Weeks.
Presentation of Diplomas.
Benediction.
The presentation of diplomas was
neatly done by Nj. C. A. Harrington.
President of the Board of Education.
The music was furnished by Harris
Quadrille Band.
The bake-Oven temperature OF the hall
was a dGMpeT to the perfect enjoyment,
by the large audience, of the exercises
of the evening. They could only apply
their fans assiduOusly and sweat pro-
fusely.
The thanks of the listening portion of
the audience are due Mayor Dawson and
policemen J. J.. Smith, for their efforts
to preserve order snd quiet about the
doors and in the passage ways, On all
occasions of this kind, q beYy Cd noisy,
restless boys congregate about the hall,
and seem TO concentrate all their ener-
gles n efforts to create noise and dis
tQrbance. 1t is a nuisance which we are
glad TO sec the city officers sharply dis
courage.

Man Drowned at Niles,

On Monday afternoon last, a man
named James Moran, an employee in
one of the Niles rolling mills, went, in
company with some others. to the mill
pond, adjoining the town, to battle.
When out about fifty feet from the bank,
he was observed to throw up his hands,
and finally went down, no one being
a enough to afford him assistance.
The alarm was given, and in a few
moments several hundred persons were
at the scene. The body was searched for
and found otter considerable effort. The
unfortunate man was aged about thirty
years, a native Of Ireland. Has a brother
in New York. Coroner Reed was sent
for, but on his arrival did not deem it
necessary to hold an inquest in a east
where the facts were so patent.

Merchants and Busness Men,

The Auditor OF theState of Ohio, in his
annual report made tarch p, $50, says that
seven of the Ohio File Insurance Compa-
mics of Ohio, nave within the past year
aGoae out or eriaence.' That the dividends
paid by the Ohio COMPANIES was a fraction
over five per cent. onthe paid up capital
and he repeats his aNice that the small
Companies by twos or threes had better
~amaigamate, consolidate, or sell out; and
that there is less Fospect of success for
small and weak Comanies each succeeding
year" Most Of Companies
of Ohio, were organized under the ill-con-
ceived act Of 1856, or mder special charters,
still looser and morecrude in their provts-
ions, passed prior . the adoption of the
present Constitution. The act of 1856, re-
quired only twenty yer cent. of the subsrib-
ed capital TO be paidin, the remainder to be
secured by individual notes merely. The
special charter, in many instances, did not
require anything to he paid in. Such laws
naturally prompted the organization of
Companies with the eading idea OF making
money, and paying dividends to stockhold-
ers, without the use q n actual capital"

laws of business proSlation, disastrous con-

Reported Murder---Big Story by a
Little Girl.

On Wednesday evening of last week,
Mr.. Bennehoff, of Greenville, Pa, came
to Warren, bringing with him a girl
aged about fourteen years, who had a
few days previous made her appearance
in that place. reporting that her father
and mother had been murdered on the
night of June IL. From the description
of the last large town she had passed
through before reaching Greenville, the
people there concluded she had been to
Warren, AMI in order to trace up the
matter Mr.. B. brought her here. She
claimed to recognize Warren as the place
she had passed through the morning
after the murder. She claimed that she
was the only daughter of Thomas Cor
nells, late of Hardin county, Ohio, who
resided within seven miles of KentoR,
the county seat. That he had sold his
farm for 5000, and other property for
$1,000. On the 18th of June they had
started from home in 2 covered two
horse wagon, to go to Edinbaro, Erie
county, Pa. They slept at night in the
wagon. She claimed that her father had
the 5000 sewed up in a pocket in an
undershirt. Her story further was that
six or eight miles west or south of
Warren she was awakened, on the night
of the 18th inst, by a cry from her
mother that "they were killing father"
She says that one of the men then
stabbed her mother, killing her instantly.
She claims to haYe escaped from the
wagon and hid in the bushes until the
murderers hitched up the team to the
wagon and drove of, taking the bodies
along. She says she followed as closely
as she could. but lost track of the wagon
when it was passing through Warren,
Just at break of day the following morn
ing.
The story OF the murder did not seem
improbable, as more desperate cases are
unfortunately not unfrequently occur
ring. But it seemed improbable that .
girl fourteen years old would follow the
wagon for eight or ten miles without
making desperate efforts to arouse the
people as she passed along, especially
after daylight, when her opportunities
were frequent. Yet it was impossible to
conceive what motive could induce a
young girl to make up such a fearful
story out of nothing. Enquiries by tele-
gragh end mail were sent to parties in
Hardin county, IS to yhethsF such per-
sons had lived there, etc, The gentle
man from GreenYille promised to notify
parties here upon the receipt Of an
answer to their enquiries. At this writ
ing TUESDAY forenoon nothing further
has been heard, and the prevailing
opinion here is that the affair is a hoax.
The giEl is stopping with Esquire Giles
pie, of Greenvile, If she conqccted the
story, she should seek a situation as a
Dime Novelist.
