WATCH REcovERED.-On Thursday
last, Mr.. c. F. Goeppinger received q
letter from Cleveland Attorney, in
forming him that the watch aud chain
stolen from him in that city on the
11th of March had been 'spouted' ata
faro bank for S125, and that he could
obtain the same by paying the amount.
On Friday last Mr.. &. went to Cleve-
land and deposited the money with
the Attorney and recovered his prop
erty. He had advertised in the
Cleveland papers to pay reward Of
500 for the return Of the watch and
chain, but was forced, in order to re-
cover them to pay $25 more. The
thief had marred the inner case by
fling and sandpapering it in order to
erase the inscription. Mr.. G. has kept
faith with the VILLAIN who robbed him
even though he had to pay more than
he agreed. 1t is pity the guilty party
cannot be brought to merited punish
ment.

The elections in this township and
village passed off very peacebly. though
considerable excitement and anxiety
was manifested about the polls. The
Republicans, as usual, had everything
their own way, the Democrats mani
festing very little interest In the fight.
The vote was pretty large for Spring
election, considering the condition of
the roads, though from 300 to 400
voters did not put in an appearance ct
the polls. Never before has there
been 80 much scratching done at an
election in Ravenns, most of which
was done ON the candidates fer! Mayor
though it was not wholly confined to;
to that office. There were over $50
split tickets polled. We give below
the result at the different polls:
