Aug. Sth, the new house of c. NJ. Rhodes
was burglarized. and lot of carpenters
tools stolen therefrom. Officer MeCon-
naughey got trace of the tools and sup
posed thief, and on the 21st, he arrested
one Jas. Z. Leonard, at Martins Ferry,
and on trial before Mayor Robinson,
Leonard was committed to jail in de-
fault of 5000 bail. Part of the tools
were recovered, and the Marshal desires
us to say to any persons having the bal
ance of the tools, got from Leonard, that
he will esteem it favor if they will re-
turn them to him, and he will refund
their money. This to further the ends
of justice.

costs. Becky, meanwhile, mOurns the

Some blatherskite, whose puerile scrib-
blings from Martins Ferry to the Ga

by his lying twaddle, says-"Wm. Clark,
a man who has spent his money and his
infuence-yea his all, for the good of
the party, was slaughtered only because
of his poverty" SC. Where the author
of the foregoing hog-swash is known. no
notice need be taken of his idiotic jab-
behring's, but lest he might think his silly

ded as true, we stop long enough to pitch
his low flung lie back in his teeth, while
We hold our nose and pass OH.
