MORE Internationally for the first time In
a year our city has been troubled with sneak
thieves. To oe sure we are always having a lit
tie of this kind Of business, but during the last
week or ten days the profession" has been con-
sderably reinforced and the business more brisk.

night the house of Mrs. Wille's, of South Market.
street, was relieved Of large cake and a breast
pin. The same night the houses of Mr., Julius
Reno and John Z.ltIer, of West Tuscarawas street,
were broken into, nothing but eatables were taken
however, but at Mrs, AndersOn's, on the same
street they secured a few dollars iu money and
small amount of clothing. Monday, during the
absence of Mr.. Lehnan's family, who lives near
the North school, two men entered the house, col.
lected about everything they wanpd and were
just about tO leave with their buldles when Mrs
Lehman entered aud frightened them off
The big haul however, was made at the residence
OF john Lahm, on North Market street, during
Monday afternoon, while the family were at The
circus The burglars entered by window in The
Kitchen, from whence they gained admiltance 10

probably in the house half or three.quarters OF an
hour. A ilne leather satchel was used to carry
away Two fine suits, a pair of fine boots, new
Shirts stockings, &C., besides some jewery aud
S2j in money. They made thorough search of
the hOus-, aud would undoubtedly have carried
away more but for the increased danger Of deleC.

maker and Mr. Roberts. OF Plum street, were Wis.

THE STORM.

Sunday evening Canton and vicinity were Wis.
tied by the heaviest rain Of the season. We hear
Of cellars in every part Of the city which were
flooded. A great many people were riding when
the storm came up, and those who had remained
at home from conscientious scruples-or because
they had no horse-sat at the front window and
smilIngly watched the soaked pleasure seekers
drive slowly home. When the rain had subsided
the children all over the city swarmed into the
streets and launched stiCk-or themselves-into
the deep water. Several lads near the depot
went to sea In the mortar boxes, which are kept
near the Shriver run, and were aaOat, and one
little shaver went overheard into too deep water.
One Of his co nrades caught his hair when he
came to the surface, however, and he was drawn
on deck and allowed to empty himself OF the
muddy water before he wenthome to be complete.

ALMosT,-A half dozen boys were passing the
Eagle block Tuesday morning, aud one Of them
led by the natural boy instinct charged on large
vitriol bottle which was standing at the side of
the building, He worked out the cork and poked
a stick into the fluid and then pulled 1t out and
playfUlly struck JohHny Willick across the eyes
with it. che Wilick boy raised the hair of every
body in the vicinity with his screams, and the
other boys were paralyzed, but gentleman led
him into Davis & fuckers drug store where sweet
oil was applied and an examination made. His
eyelIds aud nose were badly burned and his eyes
iDfamed but he ha fortunately closed his eyes
in time to exclude the fluid, and 1t is probable
that his sight is not injured, Leal Pea who was
the cause Of the accident, had unconsciously
smeardd his panLaloons with the stuff and while
he was very sorry to have hurt his comrade,
showed that he was considerably exercised over
the destruction Of his trousers.

THE REGATTA-The race for the championship
came of as per announcement at the lake satur
day afternoon, and was witnessed by quite mum.
Der of lovers Of the sport. AS our Cltizens
probably remember the match was made last fall
and at the first trial resulted in tie which was
settled by the race Saturday The day was almost
all that could have been desired. From the start
to the fnish Ballard pulled about 80 and Myers
about 40 strokes to the minute, with Ballard
moving rather faster than Myers, bu. as in the
first race he pulled away of the course to the East
and when Myers was at the turning stake Ballard
was six or eight lengths to the East. HnweSer,he
made up about half Of this on the return pull,
coming in between three and four lengths behind
much to the disappointment of the crowu who ex'
pected closer race, and If Ballard had kept the
course better, as he does in training, he would
have made Myers pull faster for his champion
ship.

And all those who know our friend Abram Miller

may regret to have him quit that business but
certainly will say the right man is in the right

The sHow.-Monday morning our streets oiled
up at an unusually early hour with people from
all corners OF Stark county, and by ten O'clock
the streets We're crowded and all the windows
were ocoupiedtn e1peclationof of the parade, and
every body was repaid, for II was without doubt
the hnesI street parade ever witnessed In Canton.
Golden charlOts mirrored and beautifully painted
wagons, magnificent horses Shetland ponies, five
large elephants, camels, harnessed zebra, den
OF hyenas with man among them, two fine
bands, The Tally Ho coach. a Mardi- Gras carnival
OF hideously masked beings and a train of ar.
mored ana glltterlng courtIers and cOurlezans are
sights not often seen In Canton or any other city.
Both the afternoon and evening performances
were witnessed by immense throngs who, 80 far
as we have heard, came away feeling that 1t was
the best circus and menagerie that ever visited
Canton, The whole institution Is moved about
on trains, which lay at the depot from Sunday
morning until Monday night, where they were
visited by many people, The actors travel In fine
sleeping cars and the animals, wagons and horses
on cars specially fitted up for the purpose. The

versary Of his 6ilh birthday. Mr. ThOma was
