Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1874-05-07

Our neighboring town of Whining
ton seems to be afflicted with burglars.
Two smoke-houses were robbed on Sun
day night, week ago, of nearly all
their meat. On the same night the hard
ware store of Messrs Fulton & Peters was
entered h. some boys, and three revolvers
and eleven po.aet-knives were stolen: the
boys were arrested and bound over to
court: they were from eleven to IS years of
age. On Friday night one week ago, the
book store Of Hildebrant & Quinn was
broken open and some 500 in money and
several. .penkniyes were stolen-so we learn
by the Wilmington journal Of last week.
In to-days HERALD we publish the
speech of Hon. John Q. Smith on the bill
for increasing the amount of currency. The
speech is one that will be read with inter
est, and presents some views on the sub
ject that perhaps have been overlooked by
those who have not given the subject a
careful examination. Those who may diff
fer with Mr.. Smith we think will, at least,
attribute honesty of purpose to him. in op-
posing the passage of the bill.

since. While standing in front of coal
