A YOUNG MAN named Vennums, a
farm hand in the employ of Allen Ram
isey, residing near Jacobsburgh, stole his
way up stairs while the family were en-
tertaining large party of friends on
last Saturday, and attempted an outrage
upon his little daughter five years of
age. Upon being discovered in the at
tempt, Mr.. Ramsey almost beat the brute
to death, and then threw him down
stairs and would have shot him dead
with his rifle had not friends dissuaded
him. At last accounts the fiendish
wretch was lying at the house of Abram
Ramsey in precarious condition from
the effects of the chastisement at the
hands of the outraged father, and the
popular verdict is served him right"

A Live and Patriotic Town


Martins Ferry, which more than
doubled its population in the last de-
cade, and which takes the lead of all
towns in this part of Ohio in increase OF
population, is also ahead of all towns in
orga:iiZing a Garfield club. The General
spoke at Etnaville last autumn. Hun
dreds of Martins Ferry Republicans lis
tened to and were electrified by that
mastery speech, and when the news
reached that town that Garfield
was nominated for President, crowd
which had collected around the post
Office ut once organized Garfield Club,
instructed committee to rent the best
hall in the town, aud within an hour
after the nomination had been made,
telegraphed to Chicago the organization
Of the first Garfield club in the country,
The club met in its hall on Wednesday
night of last week, and formally elected
the following officers: PreSident-Geo.
Robinson; -President-W. B. Lewis
SecretaTY-Frank Sedwick: Correspond
ing Secretary-M. C. Mitchell; Treas
urer-R. W. Theaker. All concerned
may as well take notice that this means
business. Our information is that the
Republican columns in Martins Ferry
are in better condition than in many
years past, and our belief is that the so
called Democracy will hear some Repub-
lican thunder from queenly Pease next
October, the like of which they have
never heard before.

ANNIE NJ. NEwLIN, who for four
years. and until within the past year,
lived in the family of BENZ. Dickey, of
this place, jumped from the suspension
bridge, at Wheeling, on Monday night
of last week. and her body was recover
ed in the river opposite Moundsville, on
Tuesday. The unfortunate girl had
been domestic in the Rine House,
Wheeling, for some time previous to the
commission of the rash act, and more
than once been heard to express her de-
termination to take her own life. From
some letters found in her trunk, it may
be inferred that the trifing of one or
more young men of this place, with her
affections, and the brooding over their
broken promises. may have led her to
commit the deed.

THE County Commissioners met in
special session on Tuesday to open bids
for the construction of the new bridge
across Wheeling creek at Bridgeport.
Bridge companies from different sec
tions of the country are especially inter-
ested in having good bridge at that
point. and in consequence there was
lively competition. The following COM
panies were represented by their agents,
viz: The Penn. Co., of Beaver Falls,
Pa; Champion Co., Wilmington, Ohio
King Co., Cleveland, O.; Cleveland Co.,
Cleveland, O.; Smith Co., Toledo, O.;
Massilon Co., Massilon, O.; Morse Co.,
Youngstown, o.; Canton Co., Canton, o.
The award was made to the Canton
Bridge Company for S273O. The bridge
is to be double track, 10 feet in length,
and is to be completed within two
months. The company agrees to remove
the old bridge and keep the roadway
open for travel for S11O additional.
