WEST CovINGToN. .
The first leap-year party given in this
locality took place at the residence of
MIR. George Clark last Friday Light. It
was we'll attended by ladies and gentle
men from Cincinnati, Covington, Lud-
low and West Covington, and was very
enjoyable affair. The young ladies footed
the bills like little men, and did all in
their power to make the lords of crea-
tion comfortable and happy. We are de-
cidedly in favor of these parties, and
trust this will not be the last.

George Scott, found guilty Of burglary
the other day, asks for new trial.
1t is claimed that the Police Commit
tee appointed by Council to investigate
the charges of negligence and disobe-
dience against Station-house keeper Reid
will report in favor of acquitting him,
and that Council will adopt their recon-
mendations. .t...
William Russell, colored man, we'll
known about town, was arrested Satur-
day evening for highway robbery. P. G.
Adams makes complaint that two men,
of whom Russell was one, robbed him of 4
gold watch and chain. The watch, it il
claimed, was given up, but that Russell
felt so happy at owning the chain that he
walked off with il. ..l ..Htt H-.,.a'
John Bailey has already received his
dose for highway robbery, to which he
plead guilty, and now comes John Sher-
wood, who says he is not John but Chas.
that Is to say, Charles Ternan, of Toll
edo, was also convicted of highway rob
berry Saturday. The Mayor and Police
Judge Of Toledo came down to testify in
the case. John, that is to say, Charles,
is a bad egg.
The Coroner's verdict in the case of
the infant found in trunk at Selma,
already reported, was that the death
took place from natural causes and en-
tirely exonerates the unfortunate
mother, Mrs. Colwell, from any suspicion
of having caused it designedly. The
facts, however, elected at the inquest
were that, at the time Of the occurrence,
the mother left her bed, and gave birth
to the child out of doors in the snow,
some four months subsequent to her
marriage with James Colwell, section
boss on the L. M. Railroad at Selma, and
that she wrapped the dead body of the
child in an old skirt, and, after placing it
in a trunk, went back to bed without
communicating TO her husband the
circumstances. The whole case has a
most unsavory odor, although the Coro-
ner's jury did not find reason to believe
there had been deliberate infanticide.
