Reg SOM. thief or thieves entered

sss- Some thief or thieves entered
our smokehouse on Saturday night last,
by wrenching the lock, and robbed US
of twelve pieces OF bacon aud some sau-
sage. The same night the smokehouse
OF our neighbor, Mr.. d. A. Hill, was
entered also by wrenching the lock, but
the robber found no bacon there, as
Mr.. ii. had removed it TO his dwelling
sometime previously. An effort was
also made the same night to enter the
smokehouse of Mr.. David Billmyer, by
removing several bricks, but the rob
bers were probably frightened OFT before
they accomplished their object. II seems
to us that our City Fathers should take
this matter in hands and try to prevent
this tkieving which has been carried on
to an extent for sometime, and afford
some protection to the citizens at least.
The longer it is allowed to continue
the more encouragement is extended TO
the thieves.

TrI,L OF PLows.-Last "Wednesday
evening quite number of the farmers Oh
Opeuuon district assembled ut the farm OF
Mr.. Jacob Miller to witness trial oil Inc
various barshear plows, now handled oy
the several dealers in agricultural lnpie-
n,ents. Among the farmers were Jos. b.,
Morgan and Warner Vanmeter, JAS. Rush,
VIM McOuilkin, w. Lemen, Mr.. Price,
Jacob. Samuel and 5. Miller, X. >. Ill
chelberger and others. The plows that
we're nut on trial were the Root Pillow, rep
resented by J. y. Thatcher: the Oliver
Chilled. by Yollmcr i Boyd; the W. u
lum. Nv VI. w. Crump; and the Elcock,
by John F. Keller.
These blows were put to very thor
ough test, every farmer present taking
hold of each, TO satisfy himself. The
ground was very hard, stiff, clay soil,
and very rocky. The general opinion oi
those present was that all the implements
tested did excellent work, and farmer
could hardly go amis in purchasing any
OF them; but il seemed that the oil'cr
Chilled and the Root were the fafOrltes.
We believe that all the agents III Martins
burg try 10 secure the very best iihpIe-
ments possible, none OF them desiring 10
