Burglars went through the house
of Justus Joyce, North of this village,
on the day of the show, the family be-
ing absent in Cleveland, and took sill
yer spoons, forks, jewelry, and about
$500 in money. They effected an en-
trance by prying open q window at the
back side of the house, which was en-
tirely screened from sight by trees
growing near. They were evidently
frightened away, as much moro could
have easily been secured had they TAX
en- the pains to look for it.
The press of the country Is doing
what it can to relieve the dullness of
the hot weather In enlarging on the
subject of sea and land serpents, but
Clermont County bears off the palm.
She claims to have one seen by at least
1000 reliable citizens, which Is 80
feet long, as large around as . beer
keg and carries his head five feet In the
air. So far he has only swallowed one
boy, but has had the effect of q hail
storm and hurricane combined on the
fences and crops where he travelled on
his way to the Ohio River. 1t affected
US unpleasantly 10 meet q snake three
feet long the other day; more especially
because It was not by previous appoint
ment, and because we did not like his
style, though 1t was evidently an un-
common ore, and ought on that ac-
count to have interested news gather
er or lover of natural history. Like
the Clcrmont County monster our
snake Is for all we know, still at large,
the palliating circumstances being a
child that would neither be hurried or
carried and in the line of weapons, a
parasol. Remembering the ancient en-
nifty declared between the serpent and
the children of Eve it seemed really
Christian-like to let that enemy alone.
