4 SUSPICIOUS GREW. On Tuesday
last, a dory and five men landed at Cape
La Have, and represented themselves as
fishermen from the wrecked schr. Breeze,

OF the supposed skipper not knowing the

with various other circumstances have

they represent themselves. They We're

A MOVEMENT is on foot to form new
county out Of portion of Belmont and
Monroe counties, Ohio. The Woodsield
Spirit raises the following constitutional
difficulty against doing so
According to the Secretary Of States
report for 1877, Belmont county contains
h27 square miles and Monroe $50. There.
fore but l27 square miles can he taken
from Belmont, and but 30 from Monroe
without violating the Constitution. These
together would make but la square miles,
being less than half the territory required
by the Constitution for new county"
