Correspondence. e.11n = =,
By a recent order of the Probate
Court an additional Justice of the
Peace was ordered for this township.
Why the necessity of for three magis-
trates is not apparent to anybody, as
there is scarcely legal business enough
to keep one j. p. in remem brance of
his official position. AT an election
last Saturday for two Justices of the
Peace, only. thirty-two votes were
pOIled, which indicated a very un-
healthy state of affairs-a supineness
and lukeWarmness that is not COM
mendable; for the same want of in
terest in the election Of officials of
higher grades may be expected. In
fact we have had similar case in the
recent election of members to the
Constitutional Convention but very
few votes were polled, and some
members were elected without oppo-
sition. The frauds and stealings that
have been recently exposed in Con-
gress seem to not only discourage,
but disgust the people. A few years
ago justice election in this township
would bring out three hundred vo-
ters, and good old rye would flow as
freely as water, and the winning can
didate would not have more than half
dozen votes to spare. Those were
honest but lively and rollicking times,
''ven peeshness was peeshness,0 when
Congressman and some of the clergy
were honest. and the people did not
have both eyes on the almighty dol
lar, and both hands clutching filthy
lucre. Frank Squire and A. a. Bar.

but how many / am not now in

There is a rumor prevailing in the
religious community, which every
good person must certify hope to be
true. 1t is this ssThat the conven-
ton of Gospel Ministers which has

Al BRACE OF DANGEROUS THIEVES
Last. Sunday, as the people were
going to church in Randolph, they OBJ
served a couple of young men appa-
rently tramps, laying lndthe shade OF
the trees, and passed various opinions
with regard to their appearance, sc.
They afteFWard entered the house of
George Crime, and stole therefrom
one hundred aud fifty dollars. The
old man and his son George went to
Church and left the house in the care
of Peter, the youngest of the boys
He locked the doors and went over to
neighbor's house, in company with
anothe.. Young man. The tramps
must have watched him, for in little
time they burst in the back door,
unlocked the cupboard. and helped
themselves to the above mentioned
articles, and took a piece of pie each.
They were metiby the two men leav-
ing the house and eating the pie. The
old man spoke to them; he said -
esWell, boys, you got aepieee." One
of them answesed, ayes, siri we
were hungry, and the boy gave us a
piece of pie eaeh.Dd Young George
seeing the door opened, went in and
supposing his brother was in the
house, he shouted, @Pete, adedyou
know anything of those fellows. p
But he, soon discovered the state Olaf
fairs. The neighbors were notified,
and as Crime and his family. are good
Deighbors and we'll respected, they
turned out en- masse to hunt the
thieves who took togthe woods and
sWamps. N. Knapp, one of our con-
stables, got up with them near iMogay
dore, and went with them lin COM
pany athat vitlarge. There he de-
manded assistance, and to the dis
grace oil Mogadore, be it said, nthe
people refused to assist. The epnsta-
BILE had no warrant nor weapon for
defence. However, he attempted to
arrest them, but they ,demsnded his
papers, and coolly drew their reyolv-
ers, telling him they were prepared
for such an emergency and that he
had better not be fool. So they
walked off with their booty in day
light, and in the presence ,oftweIye or
thirteen men, young and old, in Mog-
adore. A good specimen of the big
dog kind recommended by. one of our
hHmanitarians was on the premises
above recorded but no matter how
ugly he might be to peddlers or
agents, he seemed to be on good terms
with the thieves, for he didn't disturb
them IN the 1e7o least. tliaa, ,KoYER-

The heavy rains of last week pro-
duced a disastrous flood in the Hock-
ing Valley. The entire bottom land
from the head to the mouth of the
river was submerged, and the grass
wheat, corn, and oat crops from Rush
Creek to the Ohio River are reported
ruined, and immense damage done to
fences, bridges and other property
Several of the salt-works in the
region have met with serious loss.
1t is estimated that million dollars
would not make good the losses to the
people of the Hooking Valley by the
food.

Passed of very quietly here, with
but little excitement, no quarreling or
roWdyism, and no accidents OF seri-
ons nature. The eold-fashioned7 pa
triotic celebration did not pan out
very extensively, either in point OF
numbers or amusement. The exer-
cises opened at the early hour of mid
night by round of saltpetre thun-
der from the cart-wheels,1 which
aroused the quiet citizens from their
slumbers and the dose was repeated
at early morning dawn. This grand
and patriotic exercise was followed
by the noise and confusion incident
TO such an occasion.
The exercise of the fremen took
place at half-past ten a. m, and their
performances were highly enjoyed by
all.
The Band furnished some Of their
D choicest music at intervals during the
day, which was pleasant feature of
the days doings.
The exercises at the stand we're
commenced according to the pro-
gramme, and progressed so far as the
commencement of the oration, but the
orator had not proceeded far before
black, murky cloud in the west pres
aging heavy storm, compelled sus-
pension of the exercises, the crowd
sought shelter from the pelting rain,
and Gen. Garfield left undeliVered of
z his speech. .581sla
In the evening the crowd in town
to witness the pyrotechnic display was
three or four time larger than was in
attendance during the daytime. The
streets were SO completely thronged
in every direction as to render them
almost impossible. The display of
fireworks was quite creditable, and
there were some very fine pieces
The balloon 81. A. Co. refused to
perform its Office. After being inflated
and ready to start upon its aerial voy-
age, it was found to be so heavily
numbered with Credit Mobilier and
salary swag that it collapsed and was
soon committed to the flames.
Great things were promised of this
@old-fashioned" patriotic celebration,
but 1t can hardly be said that it filled
the bills; and we opine the managers
OF the affair are satisfied that the at
tempt to run Fourth of July cele-
bration in the interests of party or
its pet, under false colors, or without
consulting the people, win result in a
disastrous failure.
