BURGLARY IN New PHnADELPH1A.-
On the night of the 18th, some burglar or
burglars broke into the Hardware Store of
A. I. Raft, and carried away about two
hundred dollars worth of goods, in the
shape of shooting irons" sllver-plated
knives and forks, pocket rules, &c. The
entrance was effected by q window into
the cellar and by boring through the door
and drawing a hook, fastening the door to
the cellar. 1t is supposed the burglars
had light, as they were very choice in
their selection of goods. taking the best in
the showcase. Who the parties were is a
matter of some speculation, but suspicion
generally rests on an individual who stop
ped for a few days at the Empire House,
registering from New York. He had
been in the store that day and looked
around considerably, but only purchased a
key-ring. He left the Empire House in
the afternoon, and went to the exchange,
as he said, to be with a friend who was
stopping there, but disappeared some time
during the night. As soon as the burg
larry was discovered, kilograms were sent
in all directions but nothing has been as
certained ofthe whereabouts of this stran-
ger. The same night a horse belonging to
Fred Gekler was taken from his stable,
but 1t returned during the day. 1t was
probably taken to carry off the plumber.
On Sunday of last week, a man by the
name of John Countz, aged about 80 years,

ME Williams, a lady of about seventeen

HCombs. The crime wal committed about
two weeks ago last Sunday, while the par
ties were out buggy riding. He showed
her a revolver for the purpose of frighten-
ing her, and after the deed was committed
he took her home. Everything passed off
quietly till the william again called on the
young lady and asked her to ride with
him. She refused. He then asked her to
marry HIM, which she also refused to do.
He threatened bloodshed if she would not
marry him, and that il she welded any
body else he Would mar her happiness for
life. The young lady soon after cornmun-
icated these things to Mrs. McCombs, the
lady for whom she worked, when the pro-
per arrangement was made and the arrest
followed as above stated. The trial came
/ of at Johnson's Corners, Summit county,
and created a great excitement. The ac-
cused was acquainted with Miss Williams

was aseertained that he had a wife and
two or three children in another State, but
