The case of Ohio VS.. John Link, in
dicted for murder in the second de-
gree, has been, on application of the
defendants counsel, continued to next
term Of Court. There was, it seems, a
defect in the service on the jurors. The
special venire was drawn but a few
days before Sheriff Newell's term OF
office expired, and returns were not
made of the summons issued to the
jurors until after he went out of office.
There was not then sufficient time to
issue another venire for a special jury,
as demanded by the defendants coun-
sci.

Last Tuesday evening George W.
Myers, for more than half century
resident of CircleYille, and one Of its
most respected citizens, died suddenly
of heart disease at his residence on
SciotO street. He had been afflicted
with a heart affection since 1865, one

expected, having been ill but few
hours.
A case of attempted grave-rObbing
occurred at Mount Hermon burying
ground, in Walnut township, last Mon
day night. On Tuesday of last week
Miss Lizzie Keiser was buried there,
and since that time her grave has been
closely watched by several of her
friends, who stationed themselves in
the belfry of the church. Nothing un-
usual occurred until the time men
toned, when two men were seen to
enter the grounds, look inquiringly
around to see that no one was about to
disturb them, when they went to the
grave of Miss Keiser, and, with spades,
commenced the work of disinterring
The remains. The sentinels in the
;ower greeted this dastardly attempt
With a volley from their revolvers,
when the ghouls fled the scene, leaving
heir implements behind. An exami-
ration revealed the fact that the handle
If one of the spades had been pierced
With several balls, but whether any of

human hyenas is not known.
