HEAVY ROBBERY OVER IN 0HIo.--Mr.
Samuel GifFen, . farmer living two miles
northeast Of ST. Clairsville, on the Mt.
Pleasant road, was in the city yesterday,
searching for 81 900 worth Of bonds which
were stolen from his house on Sunday.
Mr.. Giffen and family left home about 9
o'clock on Sunday morning and attended
church, not returning until 2 P. N. As
the people residing in the country round
about are seldom annoyed by tramps, and
but few strangers are seen 10 the
vicinity, but little precaution Is taken
against thieves, and Il Is common thing
for the farmers to leave their houses
without securing either doors or Windows
against possible intruders. Mr.. Gitien
therefore, experimenting no trouble, left
his house Without fastening either doors
or windows. When he returned in the
afternoon he discovered that some per-
sons had been In the house and helped
themselves literally to the eatables in
the pantry. A further examination OF
the premises disclosed the fact that a
trunk in the garrett, which had been
left unlocked, had been opened,
and Martins Ferry school bondd
TO the amount Of $1,000 taken there.

Sl00; No. 20, due in 1882, $500. Bond
No. 3 had been transferred by Mr.. D. K.
Giffen to his father, Mr.. Samuel uiffen,
and was so endorsed.
A strange thing abou! this robbery is
the fact that nothing was taken but the
bonds, with the exception Of what proyi.
sions were eaten, although there was quite
a lot OF valuable silver ware in the
house, which the robbers could not help
seeing. 1t Is thought from this circum.
stance that the robbery was committed
by some person possessing knowledge Of
the Whereabouts Of the bonds. Mr.. GifIsn
is.inclined TO place the guilt upon the
lramping fraternity. As the bonds are
payable TO the bearer, Mr.. Gifisn Is max.
Ing every effort 10 recover them before
they are disposed Of by the thieves.
