DECISION REsERvED.-The hearing
Of the charge Of larceny preferred
against Edward Otto, boy Of twelve
years of age, before Squire Clohan on
Saturday night, resulted in the Justice
reserving his decision until this
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The State
proved that the boy was caught in the
act of coming out of George Snyders
cellar with roll of butter, weighing
perhaps pound and hall, on Friday
morning about 6 o'clock, and that the
girl who saw him took him by the arm
and compelled him to return it. She
swore positively to his identity.
The father, mother and sister OF the
boy, on the contrary, swore that he was
not out of bed until 7 o'clock and not
out of the house until s o'clock on that
morning. A dressed chicken. taken at
the same time as the butter, was taken
back by the boys brother, it is affirmed,
and hid in an clubhouse.

FIRE IN MARTlNsvlLLE-The Depot
Destroyed.-The alarm of fire yesterday
morning, about one o'clock, was caused
by the burning OF the railroad depot at
Martinsville, Ohio. The depot build
ing was of frame and was built in 1854,
if we do not mistake. 1t, together with
the platform was totally destroyed.
There was but little freight in store,
and the only additional loss we heard
of was ten barrels Of flour, the books
and furniture in the Office and two
trunks. The trunks belonged to lady
who arrived in Martinsville on Satur-
day, and left her baggage to be called
for to-day. One of the trunks must
have contained a considerable quantity
OF specie, for on yesterday we saw the
boys fishing out silver half dollars,
dimes and half dimes from under it's
remains.
How the fire originated is not GER
tainly known, and is matter Of dispute.
Some say that it was the work Of an
incendiary, as there had been no fire in
the building. Others declare that as
the fire was first discovered in the
neighborhood OF the stove in the Office
the fire must have been caused by the
stove. The loss will not exceed $1,000
we should Judge.

A NOVEL. WAGER
JJliJT TIT T1llL
A. MAN HAULS A BUGGY
q -. 49, N
Over Fifteen Miles in 4:25.

One of the oldest wagers we have
heard OF for long time was made on
Friday night and.bandsomely won on
Saturday.
Andrew Hites, the well known driver
in the employ of Young & Huseman,
at their livery stable, made a wager OF
$50 that he could draw a buggy weigh
ing 260 pounds from Young & Huse,
man 9 stable to Frank Lawson's place, in
Triaielphia, and return, in six hours.
The distance is about fifteen miles and
half, with two or three pretty tough
hills to climb.
The preliminaries being settled, Andy
was harnessed into an open-top buggy
of the required weight. Andy's oppo-
nent disputing the weight, the cushions
and rug were put in, making, as was
afterwards found, the total weight 2S9
pounds. Just at IL o'clock Saturday
noon he started, accompanied by the
judges appointed to see that the terms
ofthe wager were fairly complied with,
the man who had wagered that Andy
could not do it, and several other par
ties. From the time-keepers notebook
we take the following:
Leaving the stables at - clock NJ,
precisely, the first mile stone was
reached at 1921; the second at l2:45 !;
third at 1919; fourth at Log; fifth
at 1:22; sixth at 1885, seventh at l:5O,
arriving at Frank Lawson's at 2O2.
Returning, the time Of the miles was
not kept. He stopped at Lawson's six
minutes for refreshments; at Aug Roett'
gers four minutes, and at Frank
Walters five minutes, arriving at Young
& Huseman's stables, the starting
point, at twenty-five minutes after four,
having won the wager with an hour and
thirty-fve minutes to spare. Deducting
the stoppages on the return trip it will
be seen that he came back at about the
same rate of speed as on going out
Bets of two to one that he could not
accomplish the feat were freely offered
before he started, without takers. A
good many dollars changed hands on
the event, though.
An immense crowd greeted Hites on
his return, and he was the hero OF the
hour. Cheer after cheer went up as ne
came prancing into the stable almost
as fresh as when he started.
Hites is a rather understood, firmly
built, wiry man, of twenty-five or thirty
years OF age. He will weigh about
147 pounds, and is not over five feet six
or seven inches high. He is not the
man one would pick out as a model oil
endurance, but he is, as we heard one
Of the boys say, "a tough little cuss.
That man Of his physique should be
able to haul buggy weighing 2S9
pounds at the rate of four miles an
hour, is a matter of establishment.
Andy now proposes-to wager that he
can draw the same buggy to St. Glars
vile and back in ten hours. If he can
do that, he better set up for a draft
horse at once.
