A rumor Of frightful proportions comes
from Owensboro, according to which there
must be perfect epidemic of social crime
there at present. The first outcropping of
the sad state of things was the attempt of a
young and beautiful girl, who form
erly resided in Rockport, to commit sui
eide. She cut of her hair and was running
wildly toward the river with the intention
of lesping in, when she was caught and re-
strained by policeman, who returned her
to her home. The gossip which followed
this mad attempt brought oat the fact that
the poor girl sought by suicide to escape
the disgrace which it seemed impos sibie
to otherwise avoid. The young woman
has hit 1ertO born an irreprOschable repu-
tatiOn, and the shock to her widowed
mother is terrible in it's effect. Letters
from OwensborO say that five other young
girls in that city are in disgrace on account
of sins similar to that which drove the girl
first mentioned to seek death, aud that
they have all been expelled from the pub
lie schools in consequence. The effect on
the mind of the attempted suicide Is so
disastrous that at last advices she was il
sane, and it seemed probable that death
would not be long deterred.-Rockport

About six weeks ago Messrs. A. G. & w
c. Msuzy, wheat buyers of this place, dis
covered that some thief had been stealing
wheat from their warehouse. Seeing that
pile of frst-class wheat of the crop of
1874 was depressed on the top and pre-
sented the appearance Of having been
drawn off from the bottom, they made ex-
aminstlons to discover the "leak." In the
floor, under the pile, they found an auger
hole plugged up WITH q corn-cob. Mr..
VIM. G. Msuzy had previously learned
that James Levi had been taking wheat to
Carmichael's mill for grinding that
was of the same quality as
that stolen and proceeded at
once to set a simple and ingenious trap
for the detection of the thief. He mixed
shot and small scraps of paper upon which
be hsd written his name, in the wheat just
over the hole, SO that the next sack OF
wheat drawn of would contain these silent
but unimpeechable evidence of guilt. The
plan worked admirably. Last week Levi
took what proved to be mis- last sack of that
wheat 10 mill, for it contained those little
tell-tales that fixed his guilt. Mr.. Mauzy
was informed of the fact and last Friday
Levi was arrested. He waived an exami-
nation and was lodged in jail to await the
action of the grand jury.-Rushville Re-
