BURGLARY.-We are informed by
Prof. Glass, of this vicinity, that the
burglars made raid on his premises q
few nights since, and that his family
was terribly alarmed in consequence,
1t appears that the Professor (who is
also q minister), WIS in Noble county
conducting series of meetings, and
Mr.. J. j. Dcker5on, whose residence is
almost adjoining that of Prof. Glass,
was absent in Barnesville, thus leaving
the ladies of both families alone and
unprotected. A young lady of Mr..
Dickerson'S hou= ehold, halbaen spend
ing the evening with Mrs. Glass, and
on leaving home fastened oil the doors
with the exception OF one which could
not be fastened from The outside. Upon
returning with little girl TO pass the
night at home, she was surprised to
find this door fastened ON the inside,
and becoming alarmed made good her
escape to the house of Mrs. Glass. Both
ladies being upon their guard kept
close watch upon the house Of Mr.. D.,
and in a short time it was lit up, and
they could see the shadows upon the
windows of the lien moving inside.
In short time one of the men passed
out, and standing near the window of
the Professors house, gave peculiar
signal which was answered from vari-
Gus quarters of the locality. The lights
were eXtinguished for a little tine then
relit and again eXtinguished. 1t
then is stated that on the following
night they returned, and drawing the
staples OF the locks on the granaries,
procured sacks, and taking MI. Dick
ersOn's horses, carried away a cousid-
cradle quantity of grain of various
kinds. The horses were found in the
stable next morning, bridled and COW
cred with sweat. The day previous
a man had inquired of Mr., DIS little
son "if there were any men about the
house." Prof. Glass has been engaged
singing christianity into the hearts of
men-has preached the gospel of peace,
and now he is determined to try the |
gospel of shoot, and when G. w. G. |
runs his eye along the barrel of pistol |
and pulls the trigger, the bali is bouud |
to so somewhere. The sincere wish |
Of the public is that If they return he
may succeed in making their skin look |
ike cullender, and that they may be
spoken OF ss ''it' and 1.-The corpse" on
he day after the shooting match.
FoR THE PAST TWO DAYS Mrs. Sam
lei Fennell has been dangerously Ill
rom the effects of pleurisy and ague;
he is also suffering from the effects of
,eing thrown from a wagon a few
months since, from which accident her
eg was broken. Mr.. Fennel states
hat on two occasions she was supposed
o be dying, but that she rallied again,
nd that now her physician gives as
uranee Of her recovery. DIR. Hubson
