Deputy Sheriff Lydy went oyer to
New Helland on Tuesday of last week
and arrested a young man named jack
son Bryant, on suspicion of stealing
buffalo robes and other articles from
buggies at FairView Church several
weekssince. Bryant was also suspicioned
of being engaged in a cutting affair in
Indiana recently, for which he was
wanted there. Officer Lydy telegraphed
to Indiana, but did not receive orders to
hold the man. Bryant had in his pos
session a weapon known as "Billy,"
and a charge was entered against him
for carrying concealed weapons. He
was fined So and costs, amounting alto
gether to $l3, which he paid. And
there not being strong evidence against
him in the robe stealing case, he was
released,
The union monthly temperance
meeting held at the Presbyterian
Church on Sunday evening last was we'll
attended. The principal address for the
occasion was delivered by Rev. Mr..
Wait, of Bloomingburg, and was we'll
received by the audience. DR.. Bow
man, of Columbus, being present, was
called upon, as was also DR.. Cooper, of
Cincinnati, and both made short but
interesting addresses. Both gentlemen
'faVored the passage Of local option
liquor law. DR.. Allen, of this place,
made a few remarks. The meeting was
enlivened by some most excellent mu-
sic. At the close Of the meeting reso-
luton was adopted favoring the passage
of local option law, and another reso-
luton appointing a committee to ask
the Council of Washington to increase
the police force of the corporation. A
large number of delegates were ap-
pointed to attend the State Temperance
Convention, which meets at Columbus
to-day.
We published in last weeks HER
AID card from DR.. Caulfeld, of Chii-
licOthe, in reference to the concert
given here by himself and wife recently.
Mr.. G. M. Mcdonald, music dealer,
thinks the Dr. card did him injustice,
by misrepresenting facts. Mr.. NJ. states
that DR.. Caulfield's agent called at his
store room some days before the date of
his concert, for the purpose of arranging
for piano to be used in the concert.
He was shown an Emerson and an Ex-
celsior piano, and informed he could
have either, if not sold before the con-
cert. On the day of the concert he
called again, and found the Emerson
piano had been sold, but the Excelsior
was at his service, and was offered to
him at $40, including removal to and
from the hall. The piano seemed to be
satisfactory, but the price did not suit,
and the agent went away to look for an
other instrument. He came back in the
evening and offered to take the instru-
ment at the price, but as it was late,
and raining at the time, the gentleman
in charge of the store (Mr. Mcdonald |
was not present either time the agent
called,) refused to let the the piano 90;
and the agent procured the one used in
the concert elsewhere. We may add
that Mr.. Mcdonald is considered here
a reliable and accommodating gentle
man, who fulflls his contracts, and
treats his customers fairly.
