CARRoLLToN. - Monday last, Sheriff Roatch
started to Columbus with young Purcell, but to
the surprise of everybody he returned to this
place Wednesday at noon with the prisoner. The
reason of this peculiar proceeding has been kept
very quiet up to the time of this writing, but the
general impression prevails that the commitment
drawn up by the county clerk is imperfect. The
papers describe the prisoners offense as being
assault with intent TO dishgure," whereas such
offense is not known in the statute and the War
den could not hold him. The heCommitmentshould
have read, putting out an eye with intent to
disfgure." The prisoner is in the custody of the
sheriff. and will be taken back as soon as the
error can be eorrected.-ChrOniele.

MARSHAL WEBB.-We learn that our city Mar

however It Is little cool for our city Marshal to

NAvARRE--A party Of young Cantonians last
week, went to Navarro for a sleigh ride, taking
their young lady loves along. Previous to starting
however, they wrote the proprietor Of the Roches
ter House to engage an Orchestra for them to have
social dance all by themselves. So Mr. Smith
the landlord, sent over to Mt. Eaton and engaged
the band at an expense Of twenty dollars and
when the party got there and had the supper and
enjoyed the dance and came to settle the bill they
were not a little surprised at the amount They
had supposed an Orchestra could be had at Ma
varre cheap. Verify the adage proves true that
they who dance must pay the fiddler.

to appoint delegate and alternate to the Toledo

President in 1880, and wants the government to
issue greenbacks in such superabundance that
every one can borrow on his property to about one
third Of Its value. This would be rproariOusly
