WATSON'S WOOL.

Last week we made mention OF the
the t. on the night of the 30th ult., from
the barn of John Watson, ) miles north
west of this place, of ten fieeces of wool.
After the theft Mr.. Watson and his
neishborS went diligently about ferreting
out the parties to the affair. 1t was as
certained that a buggy with two men
from this place, had gone toward Cadiz
on the morning before, and had return
ed the same night in this direction. On
its return it passed th; ough toll-gate No.
2, Cadiz Pike, about o'clock at night,
and about three hours afterward passed
through the toll-gate just north of this
place,.5 miles distant from No. 2. Mr..
Watson resides about three-foulths of a
mile from the pike, between these two
roads, and his premises is reached by a
private road through another farm. On
examination of the gate entran > from
the pike showed buggy track from the
direction of Athens, which lei through
the gate and into sod field where the
vehicle is supposed to have been left.
and the plunder carried horseback to it,
as a short distance from the barn were
strange horse tracks similar in shape to
the track which had accompanied the
buggy. Mr.. Watson. after discovering
these these things, came to this place,
and found that on Friday morning a
buggy had been hired from the livery OF
J. E. Butler, the parties furnishing their
own horse, and the colored man in cha; ge
of the stable had been cautioned by tie
parties not to disclose the fact that they
had hired it-and that they had return
ed between II and o'clock on Saturday
morning In the buggy was found fl
bers of wool and clean linen lap-dust-
er, which was tal-en away by the parties,
was not returned until next morn ng,
when it was brought back very much
soiled and greasy. All of these circum-
stances led to the arrest OF Sterling
Riggs and VIM. Downing, the parties
who passed the toll-gate3 together, and
who left and returned to the Butler sta
bles together. They were taken before
Mayor Riley on Wednesday evening and
entered into recosn;Zance, with Vim.
Campbell as SUI ETY., in the sum of 5000
each, for their appearance at o'clock on
lHuTsudy' AG Guo dppOlnleu uOur Wln.
Downing appeared in Court, but Riggs
absented himself. The case was further
continued until Friday, to give Riggs a
chance to put in an appearance. On
Friday the preliminary hearing of
Downing was had, w. S. Kenuou, Esq.
and Pros. Atty Mitchell, for the State
and J. ". Shannon for accused. A num-
Der of witnesses we're examined, and the
hearing occupied the entire day. The
Court held the accused in the sum o,
$500 for his appearance at Court, and
the bond OF Riggs was ordered forfeited
to the State, he having fed the realm.

THE extensive planning mill of Arm
strong & Smith, Bellaire, together with
its contents, consisting of machinery,
lumber, lath, shingles, and large guam
tity of wood work ready for the builder,
was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday
night about midnight. The origin OF
the fire is not definitely known. 1t
started in the engine room. One theory
is that it caught from fire which was
smouldering in the slack, and the other,
that it was incendiary is strengthened
by the fact that a lady living in the
neighborhood saw party with a j hit a
short time before the flames broke out
in the neighborhood where they we e
first discovered. The books and papers
of the firm were saved by the perse-
vering efforts of some daring men who
dragged out the safe and desk in the
niche of time. The loss is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000. The building
and machinery was owned one-half by
Mr.. Julius Armstrong, and the other
haIf by Mrs. Carroll widow of the late
Wales Carroll, and Judge G. w. Carroll,
of this place, in equal shares, and was
valued at about $4,000, upon which
there was an insurance of $4,000, placed
among eight companies. The stock was
owned by Armstrong & Sm:th-upon
whom the heavy loss falls, for there was
but $500 insurance upon it.

U.P Sabbath School Picnic:

The annual picnic and reunion of the
Q. P. Church and Sabbath School of st.
Clairsville, was held on the Fair Grounds
on Saturday. The day being an unusu-
ally pleasant one, the smiles Oh the faces
of the members of the Sabbath School
as they arrived, betokened the aniicipa-
tion of a day of real pleasure and enjoy
ment-and such it was. 1t has been the
custom of this congregation and Sabbath
School for some years past, to hold such
a picnic annually, with the result of an
increased interest in the school. At the
appointed hour, all present assembled at
the east end of Floral Hall, when a
meeting was organized by calling David
Brown, Esq. to the char. The exerci-
ses were begun by singing. after which
prayer was offered by Rev. Thos. Balph,
who then delivered brief but excellent
address, and was followed in apprOpri-
ate remarks by Mr.. Andrew Mcfarland,
DIR. Henry West, and Mr.. A. I. Nickel
vey. The next part of the program was
the presentation of beautiful copy of
the Bible to the efficient Superintendent,
Mr.. J. =. McMechan, and beautiful
gold extension pen and pencil to the eX-
celient Secretary, Miss Mary c. Frazier.
The presentation address was delivered
by Mr.. J. K. Giffin, student of Theo-
logical Seminary, Allegheny, Pa, and
was responded to in an appropriate
manner by each of the recipients. The
crowd then adjourned to the Hall in the
order in which the different classes were
called, beginning with the infant class,
where table, the entire length of the
Hall, was laden with bountiful supply
of good things. After dinner every one
was free to enjoy himself in his own
Way

WIN. BRINKERHOTF,
Hopedale, Harrison Co., o.

THE Liberty Qndiana) Herald of last
week says that an old scoundrel who
gave his name as C. P. Miller and his
residence as Green township, Belmont
county, Ohio, came along on Monday of
last week, and contracted for Will Lev
iston's fine farm agreeing to pay him
$4,000 cash; saying he had his money
in bank at Richmond, whittier Mr.. Lev
iston conveyed the old fraud, Wednes-
day, leaving a lawyer engaged in draw
ing the deed. On arriving at Richmond,
Mr.. Miller asked to be excused, and that's
the last Mr.. Lewiston saw of the old Ca
daver. After waiting some time NJ. l..
began to look about for the purchaser of
his real estate, and finally invoked the
aid of Mayor Bennett and his police, but
all to no avail; he was gone-"plum
gone" With Gen. Bennett Mr.. Lewis
ton made the rounds of the banks, and
found no such man as Miller had money
on deposit. Then it occurred to Mr..
Lewiston that he had been taken in and
done for by a dead-beat. 1t appears
the same man had played his trick upon
a Fayette county farmer, getting a
weeks board, etc., and then silently
stealing away. He is a slick old deceiy-
er, and calculated to take in almost any
one. He is doubles eating chicken and
plum pudding somewhere now on bis
little game.

Soldiers Reunion at St. ClairsvilI,

Soldiers Reunion at st. Clairsville.
Elsewhere in these columns will be
found suggestion OF TIE Ohio Valley
News that a reunion of the ex-soldiers
of Belmont county he held at st. Clairs-
vile during the County Fair, together
with favorable comments by the Sunday
Newsletter, Wheeling.
We hope our citizens will take hold OF
this matter, and cary the suggestion
into execution. AS the Newsletter
suggests. the reunion would do ST..
Clairsville and the Fair good. Belmont
county contributed seven hundred splen-
did mento those illustrious armies which
fought under the glorifed and immortal
Thomas and under Sherman in the
and under Grant in Virgin
ia. 1t would, no doubt, he pleasurable
event for those men to meet, all who
survive after fifteen years, and take one
another by the hand; and We are very
sure it would be "a pleasant sight to the
generation that has grown up since the
war to see in line or gathered around
the festal board a few hundred of the
men who stood with the Rock of Chick
OF in the trenches at Peters
burg with Grant, or made with Sherman
the immortal march to the sea-
Since the above was written, pre-
Iiminary meeting has been held, at
which Col. Charlesworth and J. B.
Longley were appointed committee to
confer with the officers of the Fair and
secure their cooperation. A general
meeting will be held at the Court House
Saturday evening, to which this COM
nlttee is expected to report. 1t is desi-
rable that this meeting shall be we'll at
tended, not only by ex-soldiers, but by
Ill who are disposed to assist. The la
lies can render valuable assistance, and
should attend the meeting Saturday eve
hing. ~
If all our people will take hold of this
matter iii downright earnest, the re-
lnion will be made splendid success,
md it will mark red letter day in the
history of the Fair and of all who take
part in it.
