Of the robbery hsd taken tho precsution OF

the whereabouts Of the treasure and the rascally
taker are as great mystery as ever. The facts
cfthe robbery ara as follows:-Monds noon
Mrs. Jones left her room as usual and procee d.
cd to the dining room. She was alone, the Sena'
tor being in Washington. On her return, sfter
an absence Ct about one -FOUR, she discovered
that her room had been forcibiy entered and q
dimonds necklace ard other jewelry to the
value of So. GC0 had been stolen. The theft was
at once reported to Mr.. Saunders. in charge Of
the rooms, and thorough search Was institut
3D. Thus far it has been unavailing. A strange
man without coat or vest was seen in the vicinity
of the Doron House shortly before the Valuables
we're taken, but whether he is tho criminal or
not seems to be in doubt The theory prevails
that tho jewels were observed on thu person OF
the wsarer during the day Of III, Fat Mans

FROM CUR own CORRESPONDENTS.
JEFFERSON.

Eds. Tsl:-Court opened on Monday.
The grand jury have been busily engaged
since. Court otherwise is only nominally
in session, as the work on the. court room
has not yet been completed. 1t is being
pushed rapidly, however, and it is expect
ed the rooms will be ready for use next
week.
Our county fair commenced here Tues
day. Yesterday there was quite a crowd
in attendance. A large number of entries
have been made. The weather is beauti-
full and the present indications are that
there will be a large attendance to-day and
tomorrow.
Last evening the farmers and the men,
bers of the County Agricultural Society
held very interesting meeting in the
grand jury room. Mr.. B. Bateham,
of Painesville, was present and adj
dressed the meeting on the subject OF
Restoring worn out pasture lands. Re
marks were also made by our townsman
F. E. French, who was formerly sue
cessful dairy farmer in Lenox, T. B. Wire,
OF Lenox, Mr.. Hickok, of Harpersfield,
and others.
Jefferson is to have fifteen street lamps;
most OF them were put up yesterday.
The Beckwith house is to change land
lords. "Blrney'' Baldwin, who has had
charge OF the house for the past three
years, retires, and II. S. Adams, of Ashta-
bla Harbor, assumes control. ROCK

ROME.

Eds. TeI.-Hon. Freeman ThOrp ad-
dressed the citizens Of Rome on the 18th
inst, on the political questions of the day.
\ good audience was in attendance. and
for an hour and half listened to him with
close attention. We were unable to see
but that he was orthodox in every particu-
lar, and were well pleased with his effort,
which we pronounced good. He devoted
most of the time to school and national
topics, showing himself to be well inform
ed on these points.
The Hon. W. P Rowland is booked for
a speech at the Town Hall, on Saturday
evening, Sept 80. He always draws a
crowded house in this place.
We have an extra inducement to turn
out and vote this fall, as the name of
Dwight Crowell appears upon the State
ticket for clerk of Supreme court. He has
proven himself capable and gentlemany
deputy auditor, and has many warm
friends in the county. Should he be elect
ed he will make very popular clerk.
believe the county has never had name
on the State ticket before, notwithstand-
ing her uniform large majorities. Will
not the Republicans of the county, il for
no other reason, give Mr.. Crowell a $500
majority. A full vote may elect him; a
light one cause his defeat.
We saw in operation few days since on
the farm of L. and G. Il. Crosby one of
the Buckeye plow sulkies, which seem to
be a success in every particular. 1t is so
constructed that any pillow can be easily at
attached to it; then hitch on your horses
and trot off to the field and go to work
without getting off of your seat; great
improvement over the old method. Har-
rison Henry, of Plerpont, has the agency
for this county.

Historical,

The Messrs. Williams Brothers who are
preparing history of this county expresses
themselves as being highly pleased with
the interest which the people of the coun-
'ty are manifesting in their enterprise
Owing chiefly to the kind officers of the
Ashtabula Historical and Philosophical
Society, every facility and assistance are
being rendered to enable them to publish
full and reliable history, which result
they will use every endeovOr to secure.
The appointment of committees by this
Society consisting of two gentlemen in each
township in the county, for the purpose of
rendering assistance in collecting mate
rial to be used in the compilation of the
history, as well as for the purpose of revis-
ing and correcting before publication
the manuscripts of the Williams Bros, in
relation to facts and dates, is an arrange
ment that cannot fail of the attainment OF
