It is Not Generally KNOWN

That the shortest possible route between the East
and Great West is through St. Louis, over the st
Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line.
This road has gained surprising importance by
reason of immense expenditures in the last two
years. of over two omion dollars, besides earnings,
in improvements of roadway, in relaying their
line with best quality of new steel and iron rails,
on broad new ties and by substituting for ordinary
cars new reclining chair coaches elegantly carpeted
and fitted, with dressing rooms with toilet conven
fences for ladies' gentlemen and families travelling
with children lCihout any ertra charge. This line
runs six fast Express trains between the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri Rivers, two more than any
other road, and connects with all the great Land
Grant Roads in the West, and has adopted all mod
ern appliances for comfort, speed and safeguards
against accidents, including night and day watch
men, who inspect the road before and after the
passage OF each train to see that everything is in
order. We recommend those contemplating trip
West to take the st. Louis Kansas City and North
ern Short Line, it being the only line running
through cars between St. Louis and Omaha, and
for tickets over this excellent line refer our
readers TO any ticket agent selling through tickets
to the West For map, circulars and time tables
address either Geo. D. Teller, Buffalo, N Y; or
P. B. Groat, st Louis, Nc, either of whom will
furish any information desired.

Crime-On the evening of the Goth ult.
Henry Harrison Cries, formerly of Hancock
county, but latterly of Missouri, was arrested
at Findlay on charges of seduction, abortion
and forgery, at the instance of Mrs Mary 4.
Wood, sister of defendant, 1t appears that
in 1871 Cries was running saw mill, in Madi-
sontoWnship, Hancock county, near his sisters
residence, and he boarded with her. She had
a daughter, Alwilda, aged l6 years, between
whom and her uncle a marked intimacy sprang
up, so much so as to occasion remarks, and
oblige an effort on the part of friends to break
it up. In December she was taken i'll, re-
covered, and was again taken i'll about the
2jth of December, of that year. A physician
was called from Hardin county, who, after
examination, stated her condition, and that an
attempt had been made to procure abortion
Soon after she was relieved of the fetus, but
refused any explanation. A boy, however
stated that Cries sent him to drug store for
certain medicines and instruments, which he
obtained in Kenton and delivered to Cries.
After her recovery, the girl still kept Cries
company, notwithstanding the remonstrances
of her friends. Late in 1872 he left, and soon
after Alwilda went on q visit to Richland
county, as she said, but met Cries on the
road and went with him to Missouri. where
they have since resided. As they had not
been molested, Cries returned to Hancock
county to testify in case before court, and
Mrs. Wood learning the fact, had him arrest
ed on the charges above named. The forgery
was charged in that he altered note from
500 to $500, which she had given to parties
in Ashland county. Cries obtained bail on
the Charge Of fOgsry, but was sent to Jail on
the other charges. We CLEAN the above from
