We present our compliments to our
friends of the Register, and beg leave to
say that we have a cucumber vine in our
garden that twines around a pole, and
that it blossomed aud now bears a cucum.
Der about is inches from the ground, and
we most cordially invite the editors of
the Register to call and see it, 1t will
be a source of the highest pleasure to us
to inform these gentlemen of the growth
of this vine, and relate to them the man
ner in which it was twined. if they will
only reciprccate, and unbosom themselves
to US as to how high the masters master
expects to grow or elevate the one that
perhaps will be selected to 60 to Lewis
town. We will also beg that for the
privilege of seeing our suspended cucum-
Der they tell US of the tactics or system
used by the ring master. But while we
faithfully promise to reveal not one word
as to the height of the elevation, we in.
sist upon the free exercise of the right to
write to Horace Greely all that they may

| | On Sunday evening last, while Henry
Ebberts and wife, of Perrysville, were
attending church, thief or thieves en-
tered their house and stole therefrom a
tin box containing Sl4O. in money. and
valuable papers amounting to 500 more.
The box of valuables we have been in
formed-was KEEP. in the basement story,
between joists, above cupboard in the
wall. The children of the family had
been put to bed before Mr.. and Mrs. Eb-
berts left for church. The door of the
house was left unbolted. When they re-
turned they found the door ajar. Moth
ing. however, was said to the children
until Monday morning, when inquiry was
made concerning the matter. The chill.
dren knew nothing as to how the door
was opened. A suspicion of robbery
crossed the minds of the parents. The
valuables we're looked for. They were
not there. The thief or thieves had
found them. Fifty dollars reward is Of.
fered for the apprehension of the robbers
and the return of the valuables.
ALL the talent, editorial and reporto-
rial, that the Register and Republicans
possess was engaged to shape the article
that appeared in the Register last week
in regard to the meeting of the Republi.
can County Committee but the united
efforts of the brilliant talent of the two
papers could not combine words in such a
manner that they would express the re-
fined sentiments of the writers. More
and abler aid must be secured. To re-
cure it committee composed wholly Of
the senior editor of the Register sailed
forth to make inquiry Of one of our most
distinguished local writer's as to the mean
ing of certain word or words. The in
formation was received-though the use
for which it was intended was not stated
at the time-the committee returned, and
tie article was finished amidst a grand
chuckle all around.
1t is no wonder that the article was a
great one, when it is considered that the
editors of two papers and number of
reporters Of the species tina: cannot write,
but who are SO high-toned that they can
stand at open windows and doors sjar,
and quietly steal near to parties engaged
in private conversation, and report the
same highly colored-united theis talents
