D. p. Field, residing near Kenton,
had the greater part of his right foot
foot sawed off in a saw mill, near that
place, on the 25th ult., and was obliged
to have the rest of the foot amputated.
The residence of James White, at
Kenton, was burglarized on the after

arrested for the theft. They had sold
silver watch, which was among the
missing articles, and were calaboosed
for a hearing.
George Trager, conductor of a
freight train on the c. s. &. c., fell
from the train when near Kenton, on
the 10Th, and the cars passed over his
left leg, just above the ankle joint. He
lay by the track for an hour before
being discovered, and then was taken
,, to Kenton, where the limb was ampu

Fred. Muzzy, freight conductor OH
the C. S. & C. RR., was killed at Tiffin
on the oath. He was coupling cars,
when he had his head crushed between
them so badly that he died soon after.
The cars were unsafe, as all such are
that only allow few inches of space
between them. They belonged to
coal company and not to the Railroad
company, but the Railroad companies
should refuse to haul such cars.
VIM. Knissel and wife, saloon keep

Two young men, residing near Cary,
were arrested on the oath for stealing
one set of harness from Daniel Wal

neighbors. The first suit, brought by
Carr, was settled by the payment of

Walborn, was not settled, and the
young men now abide in the Jail at
Upper Sandusky. They came from
Pennsylvania, several years ago, and
have been pursuing a course open to
suspicion for some time past. They
were watched, and the harness was
found where they had hidden it, in a
hollow sycamore tree.

is little doubt but it was followed by
some person who saw him draw the
money.

at New London. A young man who
clerks in the store of Church, Minor &
Co., had been out to see his girl, and
returning late, discovered the fire. He
gave the alarm and the fire was prompt
T ly suppressed
1t must be, annoying to young man
standing at the gate of an evening, to
have his departure hastened by the
, approaching footsteps of one he sup
: poses 10 be his sweetheart's brother,
and then discover, after taking his de-
parture, that the footsteps were those
of his rival. We could excuse young
) fellow for tramping his hat in the
mud, under such circumstances.
