Yesterday morning as We were proceed
ing towards our sanctum, mentally elect
ing the next occupant Of the White House,
we stopped BY our fellow townsman, Mr..
John Vending, who remarked that he
wished to see US relative to an item which
recently appeared in the Courier. Mr..
Vending, who as many OF our readers
may know, was short time ago seriously
afflicted with severe sickness, stated, that
while thus confined to bed for five weeks,
during which his LETT leg was powerless,
his attention was called TO statement in
the Courier OF wonderful cures effected by
the St. Jacobs Oil. He sent for bottle OF
this Great German Remedy, and states
that after using the article for but q few
days he was OH his feet again, and that it
entirely cured him. AS such information
is not only pleasing, but OF great interest
to everybody; we cheerfullv give our
readers the benefit thereof, and we con:
graduate our friend on his recovery and
the public on the fact, that reliable cure
for one OF the most painful OF all ailments
has at last been found.-La Fayetie Daily

ALLEGED ROBBERY OF AN Attorney
Last evening Mr.. John Walton, the
attorney.at-law, called at the City Build.
inc and complained that he had been rob.
he'd Of a large sum OF money. He first
named sixty.five dollars as the sum taken,
and afterwards said 1t waseighty.tive. This
Inconsistency, with the fact that Mr.. Wal.
tom was somewhat under the influence OF
intoxicants at the time, made the police
rather cautious about acting upon his
COMPLIANT, but finally he became so i'm.
nort,nate that Officer Shorts accom-.
panied him to Squire Phillips office,
where an affidavit was made al.
leHinS that the theft had taken place, and
that Noah Price, the well known Demo.
cratic ward politician, was the thief. Wal.
TOMS story was that Price had taken the
money from his vest pocket. Armed
with warrant the officer arrested Noah,
who al tirst declared thar he had not been
with Walton during the day, but finally
that he had, and that he
had received some money from that gen.
Ileman. He claimed, however, that Mr.:
Walton had given 1t to him. He produced
fiity.two dollars OF the money, which was
restored to the owner, who then declined
q prosecute Price. Squire Phillips &C.
,ordinely released Noah, but 1t Is said he
viii be rearres.ed this morning.

JAMES KEHoE's DRATH.-We have al
ready referred to the death, by drowning,
OF james Kehoe, former resident OF
Wheeling, and man having many warm
friends in the city. His brother-in-law
master at Ripley, and the other day the
following letter was received in response:
RIPLEY, ONO, July 81, 1880.
DEAR SlR:-The Postmaster has handed
me your letter Of inquiry in relation to the
finding ofthe body of James Kehoe float.
ing in the Ohio river at this place. In
answer: On last Thursday was called
upon to hold an inquest on a body found In
the river here, and upon his person amem-
orandum book OF accounts, appearing 10
be with some Misunderstanding items OF
charges to him OF cash. The last entry was
dated July 10, 1880. Also memorandum
book, being society pass book-name,
"Amalgamated Association Of Iron and
Steel Workers Of the United States; Scioto
Lodge No. Q, Portsmouth, Ohio" In 1t is
his name in the caption James Kehoe."
There was also found in his pockets
passage ticket, steamer Fleetwood. Also
red and white cotton handkerchief. In
the pass book a S. National currency b1li
and forty cents in silver and spectaCles
iron frame). All these are on deposit In
the Probate Court Of this county. He was
buried in the Potters' Field OF the Ripley
Cemetery.
From the far advanced state OF decom.
position was unable to make thorough
post m0rtem examination, only seeing the
face and neck. OF course body floating
day and night was liable TO be run over BY
steamboats,, and the marks on the head
might have been made by the wheel OF a
boat, or by striking against ,obstructions
along shore.
The papers had It that on Monday night
man stepped overheard into the'river
from of The steamer Buckeye State, at
Vanceburg. We believe 1t to be the same
body.
Upon ascertaining the names ! imme.
diately teleVraphed VIM. Ellis, Financial
Secretary Of Scioto Lodge No. 9, as atore.
said, at Portsmouth, OF the finding Of the

Of Portsmouth, telegraphed me:
Did James Kehoe's body show guushot
1r knife wounds?" In answer, / said that
could not see any, and that the body was
10 deComposed that we were unable TO
make thorough post Rlortem examination.
believe these are all the facts coming
o my knowledge.
The orphan children have my deepest
ympathy in their sad bereavement. Am
lad 10 hear that they have good homes.

Honorable Justices of the Supreme Judicial

1t having been publicly announced that an

ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC.

ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC.
AUGUSTA, Jan. l5.-This evening Gene raj
Chamberlain issued the following address to the
people of the State:
AUGUSTA, Me-. Jan. 15.-To the people of
Maine: Believing that l ought to do every
thing to allay agitation il the minds of citizens
of this State, l hereby give assurance that up
to this moment calm councils have prevailed
and that see no present occasion for public
alarm. regret that messages should be sent
from any quarter which bring crowds of men
of both political parties into this city. This
is great embarrassment in preserving peace
and in reaching a proper solution of
the difficulties before us. Whatever threats
are made l have fears for my personal
safety. If our people will feel confidence that
the dispositions made for their protection are
sufficient, although not obtruded upon the
public sight, and would all keep and counsel
patience, SO that the political and legal ques-
lions could be calmly considered, our trouble
could soon be in Il way for settlement. My at
titude towards the Honorable Mr. Lam
son, as matter of duty, has been
made known in my reply to his inquiry ad-
dressed to me on the 18th day of January. At
the same time regard him as in position
to contribute in Il high degree to the efforts to
nave us from anarchy and ruin, and justice re-
quires me to say he has by all means in his
power aided in keeping the field clear for q
lawful and peaceful solution of the matters in
issue. (Signed) JOSHUA l.. CHAMBERLAIN.
