DAYTON, o., March 20.-Two youths,
who give tlIeir names as Edward Hen
bricks and Manuel Spohr, were arrested
here yesterday and have confessed to
having been engaged in number of bur-
glares in this city. Among the number
which they have committed is that at the
residence of Mr.. McGregor, which was
entered about two months ago and robbed
OF 500 IN gold coin.
The colored men of this city will meet
nekt Sunday evening to express their
gratlhcation at the passage of the Civil
Rights Bill.
The German Baptist Church, on Buck
eye street, caught lire last evening from
the bursting of kerosene lamp, but the
flames were eXtinguished before any con-
siderable damage was done.
Great excitement was occasioned here
yesterday by the shooting of young
man named Frank Lockwood, of Butler
township, this county. Lockwood was
driving a load OF grain to this city, and
about three miles from here was met by
TWO drunken men in wagon, who block
ed up the way and refused to let him
pass, and while he demonstrated with
them one of the villains fired at him
with gun, striking him in various parts
OF the body with load of small shot.
He is not fatally injured, but his wounds
are severe and painful. The cowardly
Tufiians at once fled across the country,
and Lockwood is not able at present to
give any adequate description of them.

India rubber sidewalks are4 coming
into fashion out West. For small towns
they are Notwithstanding econ.
omy with durability. The. first expert
ment was made in Dany1lle, Iowa,
where three hundred yards were put
down on one OF the principal streets
All the boys in the place ran over it, but
there was no noise. A leading mer.
chant stopped in front of his house;
then jumped on his heels. The elastic
forces hidden in the rubber threw him
over the gate to the roof OF the piazza.
But after a few trials he was able to
alight on the steps with the graceful &C
curacy of flying squirrel. The chief
drawback to the walk is it's odorous ia.
miliarity in hot weather, but it can be
neutralized by weekly wash of borax
and coal tar. Its principal advantage is
that it can be stretched. AS the town
grows, it is pulled out towards the sub
urbs. Two yoke Of cattle can lengthen
it three miles day.
