The stolen Horse Found.

On the night of the 4th OF. July lit
tie sorrel mare was stolen from the sta
bile of Armstrong Walgamot one half
mile west of Millersburg. No clue to
either the thief or the mare could be
foun6 until last week, although eXten-
siyely advertised. : A dispatch was sent
to Millersburg from Canton claiming
the reward. Mr.. Wolgamot hastened
to Canton where the mare was found in
possession of man there who had pur-
chased her from another man who had
bought or traded with the thief for her.
The thief had been arrested on another
charge at Allegheny and is now in Jail
at Canton. His name is Robt .Oswalt OF
Strausburg, Stark Co. 1t seems that
there were three sDf them in the gang,
and that the plot was made up in Woos-
ter, about the 18th of June, at which
time Wolgamot was there with the mare
and was offered price for her by some
one or two parties who were pretending
to be buying horses. The thief took
the mare from, here to Massillon and
then to Canton. Since then he has
stolen three other horses, and on the
last was detected. y Mr.. wolgamot sold
the horse to the man who had him in
his possession, paid the reward of one
hundred dollars and brought thirty-five
dollars back with him. The other two
thieves are yet at large, for one Ol
which, a thousand dollars reward i:
offered. SiSJa &c % b. i-l

Z" Copper Bottom,

Owned by Ewing Brothers Of this place
performed feat at the Steubenville
races that never was done before in this
or any other country. In the second
heat for the $500 purse, cooper Bot
toms" driver allowed his sulky to col
lide with another and was thus thrown
out, but the horse went on with light
ming speed without break, passing
everything in the handsomest manner,
and came in first amidst terrific ap-
plause. The judges thought of giving
the heat to the other horse because
cooper Bottom" came in without
driver, but the spectators raised such a
howl of Indignation that they feared
the stand would be pulled down over
their heads. The heat was finally de-
cided to be draw. Cooper Bottom"
won the next two heats easily. The
owners of this horse claim that he is
the fastest horse in the world. He is
hard to beat, and his Steubenville rec
ord will add another to his fame.
Miss Annie Elliott, of Steubenville,
presented cooper Bottom" with a
magnificent boquet, which, of course,
was better appreciated by Mr.. Ewing
than by the horse, and it graces the
parlor mantel at his residence in this
place.-Bearerl Pa.) Rddicdl.

This Convention was held at the
Disciple Church, and owing to the great
number that had come together to en-
joy the good things of the occasion the
house was filled to ov erfi0wing. ~
As the old house was not large enough
to accommodate half of the S. S. Work
ers, that had come from the pleasant
hills and dales, they decided at once to
move to the new house that is in pro-
cess of building. No sooner was the
happy thought made known, than all
proceeded to make the necessary
change. c19@>- :. ~. ~ w
The new church had its first audience
among it's rafters, joices, slsepers-in
fact the whole building from top to
bottom was covered with those attend
ing the grand township convention OF
the 23d.
In the absence of the Vice President
NJ. Bird was called to preside and under
his excellent management everything
moved along harmoniousiy and pleas
antly, all feeling that it was good for
them to be there, Nfs4,
No big guns'' were brought upon
the grounds from distant places, but

the superfntendents and teachers from
the different Sunday Schools of Monroe.
SO that we can say really and truly, ii
was township convention. The spir-
tied speeches and excellent essays were
enjoyed by all. As this was our first
township convention we are happy to
say that it was in every respect sue
cess. A. B. WILLIAMS, Sec'y.

So,away he flew up stairs, followed by
the landlord, and into the parlor he goes,
seeing nothing but the old organ, said
'fthat was no piano, sure sThis way"
says Butler, and opened the door of a
room, and ushered him into the midst
of half dozen of old ladies. Going

Our County Fair.

1t is but five weeks to the commence
ment of our County Fair. Farmers
and all other persons shorld commence
at once looking after and handling their
stock and other articles intended for
exhibition-preparing coops for fowls
boxes or buckets for seeds and veget-
ables, so that they do not have these to
look after just as they are preparing to
get off to the Fair.
Some persons thinkbsc they have
never taken articles to the Fair, it is
not worth their while to do so, or that
it is too much trouble; such persons
are usually mistaken and when they do
become exhibitors frequently take the
best premiums, and why because they
think other persons articles better than
their own, but when they are brought
and compared they find them
selves mistaken
The Premium List is very full one,
and many of the premiums offered are
quite large for a county fair. 1t is
hoped that all the premiums offered
VIII be competed for. 1t is the variety
Of articles on exhibition that make the
show. S

some months past, and it is now nearly

thirty-six large rooms. Mr.. Bntler has
gone to a good deal of expense to fit up
things in good style. As hotel keep

ance of the Furnace for heating the
house. There are two of them-of

Either through the mistakes of few
of our friends or the evil intention of
our enemies certain false impressions
concerning the construction of portion
of the new N. E. Church in Millers-

A Return to Prosperous Times. {


For some months past the fact has
been patent. to all that there was an
unusual stringency in money matters,
and as consequence, trade has been
unusually dull. The past two weeks,
however, has 3 Sinsugurated great
change. The rapid movement of the
wheat crop at fair prices and the dis
tribution of the township funds in the
several townships, and other minor in
fluences have eoRdaced 20 effect radi-
cal change in business and financial cir
cles. Saturday last the appearance of
our streets and places of trade indi-
Gated that marked change had taken
place. Every wagon-of which there
was a multitude-was boarded by the
ready purchasers of grain, produce,
etc., as they came in filling up our
streets to a jamsEs Stores were crowded
with people, shops with purchasers,
and the old time appearance of thrift
and business, was everywhere observ-
able. 1t was apparent to the close OBJ
server that after all, wheat is the great
marketable article of this country, and
good wheat eropJwith gold prices
does more TO revive the wasted energies
of country than any other commodi-
ty. 1t Is natter of eongrafihation
that our farmers have this year been
blessed with good grain crop and with
generous prices, their pocket-books are
growing plethoric and business is taking
a new impetus, and ,tradesmen. encour-
aged and hopeful. With new railroad
facilities, We hope to see our county
and its people take Il fresh start on the
road to wealth and prosperity. A IA
vorable season will yet, we think, per-
feet the growing corn crop and thereby
add hundreds of thousands of dollars
to our local Golfers.

SOciable.

The Presbyterian Sociable was well
attended in the Park last Thursday
evening. Everything was very nicely
arranged. A threatening shower drove
a good many people home shortly after
nine O'Clock, or the proceeds would have
been ten or fifteen dollars more. As it
was the proceeds were about forty-eight
dollars. The interest in these sociables
seems to be on the increase.

A Dun.


The debt is a small one, to be sure
and apparently not worth a serious
thought. Why then not pay it? Why
be compelled to suherthe modification
of dun? Why not take that little
thorn out of your finger at once? II
viii tester. ii allowed to- remain, and
cause ten times the trouble. Why not
relieve the conscience of that little load Z
You will feel better by so doing. You
contracted the debt knowingly and
willingly. Did you not mean to pay it
Certainly you did. Then why not do it
at once? Every days delay increases,
morally, the amount of the obligation.
Remember, too, that your little debt, and
another mans little debt, and thous-
and other. mems little debts, make lit
tie fortune for your creditor, or they
enable him to pay his larger debts, or
feed his workmen, and keep his'machin-
cry going in times like these. Don't
you see how it is? You do? Well,
then, pay the amount at once, and TO-
night the ghost of that debt will not
trouble your dreams.
