BURGLARY.

On Thursday night of last week bur-
glars made a raid on st. Clairsville. The
drug store of J. B. Hoge was entered
some time during the latter part of the
night, and the safe opened, and money
and notes to the amount of $131 and a
valuable gold watch taken therefrom,
and some cigars and a few pen-knives
were stolen from the store-room.
1t seems that the burglars first enter
ed the wagon shop of Mr.. Shepherd Da-
Wis, and supplied themselves with tools
I-chisels, ETC., and then proceeded to
Hoge's, where they cut the sash between
two panes of glass, through which the
entrance was made. The chisels were
found on Friday morning,and also some
pieces of sack, which had been used on
the feet to deaden the sound of the
shoes. These showed that one of the
burglars was either boy,or man with
a very small foot, while the other sport
ed at least No. or 10. One part of
the sack which was found was marked
with blue paint with the initials "E. B.
E" and had a new patch three or four
inches square, of unbleached muslin.
This may lead to clue at least to where
the burglars came from.
Attempts were also made to gain en-
trance to L. P Hoffner's, Geo. JepSon's,
and the National Hotel, by prying open
the doors, but fortunately they were un-
successful.
AS this is the first burglary that has
occurred here for some time, our people
had begun to sleep securely after the
reign of terror of few years ago was
broken up, and it was a great surprise
to every one to hear that we had again
been visited. No two appear to have
the same theory, yet every one seems to
have his own opinion. The opinion that
it was "home talent" is advanced on the
ground that the operators appeared to
know every step taken in advance, and
were doubtless acquainted with the
combination of the safe, which might
have been learned by an expert by close
watching while it was being opened.
Then the theory is advanced that it was
done by professionals" as it was most
workmanlike job, and to support this
theory it is thought the attempt at Hoff-
ner's door was made in mistake, or for
feint to misDead detection, We give
both theories for what they are worth,
but have no faith in either one.
In this connection we would say that
it is our opinion that it would pay our
Main street merchants to hire a night
watchman. 1t would cost them each
but trihe per week, and that much
| would be gained in the enjoyment of
sound repose, as we'll as the saving of
much property.

LAST week marked an epoch in the
history of the Belmont common pleas
court, when colored man for the first
time sat as juror in that court, in a
case wherein VIM. Shores was plaintiff
and George Iddings was defendant. The
name of the colored juror, and who is
one of the regular panel, is Richard
Lloyd and he halls from Pease. He was
born slave in North Carolina and was
sold into Alabama when child. In 1862
when the Union armies were about Tus-
cumbia, Richard fell in with the boys of
the oath Ohio and came north with their
Quartermaster He resided for time
in Cadiz and New Athens, and after
wards settled in Pease township where
he now lives. He is man about sixty
years of age, is polite and intelligent for
his advantages, and rather enjoys the
privilege of being juror.

COLERAIN.

The corn is again planted, the early potatoes
hoed, the sheep clipped, the peas stuck, the
lawn moved, and invitations issued for a two
days picnic on the pubic roads. At the end
of that time our ways will be mended and the
merits of the various candidates for Congress
duly considered.
If man gets his washing done in Pease
township, works in Colerain, boards in one
road district, sleeps in another, and does his
courting in another one, where should he
work the roads? Direct a solution of this
question to the R. r. agent at Baton.
There is still good prospect for a crop of
apples; early ones are large enough to suggest
the prcpriety of laying in a stock of ginger
tonic and soothing syrup.
Last week James Beck sold a three-year old
colt to A. Binns for $685. they put halt
ter on tit reared, struck its head against
the overshoot of the barn, and in about two
minutes they had more dog feed than they
could utilize. They divided the loss equally
between them.
D. Cope has added another story to the
front part of his house.
L. Steer is getting ready to put up large
barn.
Hargrave 6 Lupton are doing large job
of saving on the farm of John Harris.
Last week we called in the office of the
Harrisville Observer-found the editor and
attaches just such gentlemen as usually run
a newspaper. They showed us the various
traps of the concern, explained their use, &c.
We believe they have the physical, mental
and financial ability to make it a success. We
also took in the s. s. Institute, heard some
splendid music, found the Rev. Starkey and
fr1A of nl luac
hugely and doing all they could to make their
visitors happy. May Heavens blessing at
tend them.
A few weeks ago grumblers said the wheat
was doing no good-it was not growing, &c.
Now it is getting too big; some of it is falling
down. Rye will reach above mans should
ers.
We never saw the early potatoes give prom
ise of a better yield.
One of my neighbors used carbonate of
lime on part of his wheat, and reports it far
better than the rest of the field. The carbon
ate came from "Capteen." -

JUDGE KELLY, yesterday, overruled
the decision of Mayor Cooper, of Bel
laire, in the case of the State against
Henry Bode, charged with selling beer
and ale on Sunday, wherein the Mayor
upon plea of mot guilty" and hear
ing, fined the defendant S35. The Judge
held that under the Smith Sunday law,
which repealed a former statute, that
the penalty for violation was both fine
and Imprisonment, and that the Mayor
had no authority to hear and determine
the case, unless the defendant waived in
writing jury trial, which he did not do.

Quoted free from the control of party or fnte-
rest Of any sort Despite precarious support

its original aim until its financial success was
assured. Meanwhile it had become recognized
authority at home and abroad; its editorial man
agenent has been unchanged from the hrst, and
its projectors intend that, with their present
facilities the Nation shall become more than
ever before the medium of the ablest thought OF
the time. -

with a view to the most suitable shape for bind
ing, and set of the Nation preserved, bound, and
