Raids.

Some of our people complain that certain parties from the adjoining town of Washing ton have been guilty of raiding upon their domestic servants. Some time since the male cook at the United States Hotel was seduced from the employment of mine host Crossman to whom he was under contract for year. and last evening the domestic servant of George Kenney was enticed into blackboard with a boarding house keeper from Washington and started for that town when Paiph (the husband of the seryanD interfered, and after consid- erable of skirmish in front of the Lake View House, the truant domestic was made to re turn to her employer. s'sa-ass4a---@
 These operations tend to make servants uneasy and dissatisfied with their employers, and surely every sensible man and woman would hesitate in declaring them not only outrageous but ungentlemanly and unchrls- tianlike.
 It is low-lived and mean as we'll as criminal to steal chickens, hams. egg &c.. and such petty offences are punished as they should be under our laws, but in the judgment of the writer, this stealing of servants, in meannes. and detestation, ,overteps the chicken thief, &c The petty thief may have some apology aris- ing from actual want to satisfy hunger, but there can be no such apology for these servant raiders, as there are people enough desirous of service without sneaking around your neigh bor's premises trying to coax away his ser wants under delusive or even honest promi- ses.

 It is hinted, that if this thing is attempted here again the parties may expect warm re- ception. 7't e54 .a, .I

 The murderer Greenfield, was finally hung at Syracuse, N. Y:, on Friday. He killed his wife in 1875 He has been twice convict ed, some techncality giving him second trial. His case has gone through all the courts to the Court of Appeals, occasioning near six years of delay. He asserted his in- nocence to the last.
 The President has been all the week report ed gaining, yet another operation was found necessary on Monday morning to facilitate the discharge from the wound. It is notice able that his pulse ran very high at night and did not fall on Tuesday morning as low as heretofore. In fact, though it is believed that the President is iu fair way to recover, the somewhat over-cheerfui published reports from his physicians dc not altogether satisfy the public. A sensational story to the effect that the bullet had taken a downw ard course. had not touched the liver, and was now im- bedded in the muscles of the back, IS declared wholly without foundation.
