We are reliably informed that about
a fortnight ago burglars attempted to
make good their entrance into . resi-
dence in the western part of town but
failed. They returned on Saturday
night last, and by running their hands
in at a broken pane Of q window that
had no shutter was about to make an
entrance into the dwelling, when the
inmates were aroused, assistance called
and the burglars decamped. The tirst

A very good idea of what it is to be
above the clouds, was obtained by
numbers of our citizens few morn
ings ago, when dense and to the Wis.,
ion, impenetrable fog-cloud enveloped
the whole valley between this place
and Burton, and extending eastwardIy
from the Cuyahoga as far as the vision
extended, The cloud was low down,
with, apparently, smooth, clean cut,
perpendicular sides and perfectly
smooth and level top, fringed with a
most fantastic pattern on the north by
the forests of Burton, syaile the loftiest
trees and those g Elevated places
pierced the torga5f the cloud, ressm-
bling herds of cattle ard sheep, with
here end there lonely yone and small
groups in promiscuous profusion. AS
the cloud moved easterfy, so regular
was the motion that the objects above
seemed moving westerly. 1t was a
sight worth miles of travel to view.
On the 10th of last month most re-
markable and peculiarly delicate
surgical operation was performed in
this place by DR.. Dunlap, Of Spring
field, Clatk Co., this State. The pa
tient, Mrs. r. NJ. Hanks, for some
time had been afflicted with an ovarian
tumor. Eight times in sixteen months
the secretions had been removed by
tapping. So rapid was the growth,
however, during the last six months,
that removal was the only alternative.
The tumor and secretions weighed 223
lbs.-the tumor weighed 8 lbs. DR..
Dunlap was assisted by Drs. Squire,
Lee, Thomas, Kneeland and Hank.
Time occupied 45 minutes. The in
cision was twelve inches in length.
The tumor was attached to every part
it was in contact. and from which it
had to be cut away. This was DR..
Dunlap's 177th operation, 81 per cent
of which have been successful. We
are pleased to say that Mrs. Hank, at
this writing, has nearly recovered from

Watson Allyn has purchased saw
mill from Mr.. Collins, of Freedom,
and is moving the same to his farm, at
the north eLd of Pigwocket, where he
expects to have it in operation in about
six weeks.
Mr.. Hinsdale and family left this
place the day after election, to take up
their abode in Cleveland.
Some mischievous young men took
the bell from the school house a few
nights ago and hung it in front of the
Ladies' Hall" For the taking away
the thanks of the community are due,
for more discordant, inharmonious,
soul-rasping kettle was never before
palmed off for bell.
Two stinging frosts last week re-
minded the farmers that their work
had better be done.
The meeting folks go to meeting just

Ayers Pills are etfectual in wide

On Saturday last we had short but
pleasant visit with Gen. Joel B. Bur
nett, a whilom citizen of Portage
county, but now residing in New
York City. He had been spending a
few days visiting the friends and
scence of his younger days, and though
more than thirty years since last we
met the General before, time seems to
have dealt gently with him and he re-
tains much of the vigor and viyacity
of "Auld lang syne." He left on Sat-
urday afternoon for his home in the
great Metropolis.
Last Saturday forenoon while Mrs.
DR.. Z. e. Swain, residing at the corner

pain, and unfortunately got too large
q dose, from which she soon became
insensible and fears were entertained
of a fatal result. Drs. Waggoner and
White were at once summoned and
soon relieved her of the powerful ano-
dyne, and we are pleased to learn that
she has fully recovered from it's effects.

School, presented Master Frank Butts,
the Organist of the School, with a
beautiful silver Elgin watch. The

manner, assuring the donors Of his
heartfelt appreciation of the good will
and kindly regard of the school, and
