More stealing.

On Thursday last, George Ikard, color
ed man in the employment of Col, Yeoman,
was arrested and brought before Mayor
Bereman, on charge of stealing clothing
to the amount of $35 or upward, from Col.
Y's. dry goods store. He plead not guilty
and was ordered to enter into reconisance
in the sum of $3.50 for appearance.at Court
In default he was sent to Jail.
AF. Feltz, (coloreD one of the men
who were arrested last week on a charge
of stealing wool from VanDeman & Dews,
and who is now under bail to answer to
Court for that offense, was also. arrested
and brought before the Mayor, charged
with receiving the above stolen goods,
knowing them to have been stolen. He en-
ployed counsel and made fierce defense.
The case resulted in his being recognized
to Court in the $500. He furnished bail
and was released. A number of the stolen
articles of clothing were found in his pos
session at the time of the arrest.
1t appears, from the evidence in the case,
that Ikard had been stealing from the store
at different times for some months past, be-
ing engaged as porter, and in packing wool
part of the time in the store, and conse-
quently having facilities for carrying on his
thieving The whole amount stolen is not
known, as Feltz received the goods and dis
posed of some of them. -- e.

Riot i'm RIPLEY.

We see by communication from Major
Chambers Baird, published in the Ripley
Bee of last Wesk, that under the ordinance
in that town, to prohibit the sale of Ale,
Beer and Porter, Beer House keeper~by
the name ofsJoseph Scholter was brought
before the Mayor and fined $50 for violating
the said ordinance, which he refused to
pay and was consequently committed
to the town Jail. At eleven O'Clock at
night lot of the friends of Scholter to the
number of 75 or 100 repaired to the town
hall, in the upper story of which is the Jail,
and with axes and other instruments broke
down the large front door of the hall, and
rushing up stairs battered off the heavy
lock on the Jail, and brought out their Ger
man friend in triumph, which was celebrat-
ed by firing off pistols and marching en-
masse to said beer saloon on Main street,
where the glorification was continued for
some hours. The marshal was poEerless.
and when he attempted to interfere was
ruthlessly thrust away and ordered to leave
the ground.
In Major Baird's communication he says:
"As a sequel to the above, some coward
ly villains, who are afraid to tell their val
orous deeds, under cover of the darkness,
crept up like serpents, and with stones de-
stroyed some of the pancs of glass in my
parloF windows: they no doubt intended
to do much more damage than they accom-
phshed. The reason for this, | suppose, is
that | am Temperance man, and member
of our Town Council and voted for the
beer ordinance. n
Thus matterr stand at present. Our laws
have been ruthlessly trampled under foot
and we are tus phublicly told that the laws
cannot be executed. We shall see. Are
you thus willing to submit to the lawless
| element in Your midst? 1t is for you to an

fair, is to show what kind of men and what

Business Change.

Mr.. Henry Robinson, of the old and sub
stantial dry goods firm Of Robinson & Sill
colt, has concluded to retire from business,
and has sold his interest in the house to
B. H. Millikan-= The style of the new firm
will be Silcott 8 Millikan. The new part
ner is young man of energy, close appli-
cation to business, and excellent business
publications; and we think the house will
lose none of its popularity by the change.
Mr.. Robinson is one of the pioneer mer-
chants of Washington, having been con-
nected with the dry goods business longer,
perhaps, than any other man now in the
trade in this place.

- Hogueville was the scene of another
battle Saturday. growing cut of old Joe's
refusal to sell beer to a party of three or
four fellows who were already too full, ac-
cording to Joe's idea of the matter The
boys wanted to chop Joe up with an ak,
but an Irishman named Jack Marin,
who is ''on his muscle happened to be
there, and took sides against the chopping
business, and with his assistance the fight
was decided in Joe's favor. One of the at
lacking party, young man named Dixon,
had his head badly cut in the fracas, and
the beautyof old Joe's countenance was
somewhat impaired by the backing of an
eye and the peeling off of several patches
of hide. A warrant has been issued for
the arrest of the attacking party.

are not authorized to confirm the report
that he intends to write Waverly nOvels.''
The gentleman alluded to above seems
to have changed his mind about locating at
Waverly, and returned to his first love. We
have seen him on our street occasionally of
late. And We believe he has thought best
to retire from the literary field on the lau-
rels already won.
