ME Coe, of Coshocton, returned home tn

on hangmanS day, we omitted, in OF

ant gentleman who ever visited our tow
Mr.. Fleming, Clerk in the Legislator

doggeries last night said "that Chi

can tell the young man much more pre-
fitable thing to do. Just take the STAND
and and read it, and follow its precepts

above and beyond all, you will be sober
..... The Robber. Morgan, was arraign
ed before Mayor James this afternoon fo
the robbery of old man Johnson. HI
plead guilty, detailing the attack and rob
berry and murderous assault, but claimed
that he was alone. This is regarded a
untrue, as tracks were seen which indi
Gated the presence of two of the robbers
to where he had thrown away the ole
mans pocket-book. -. Misses Alice, an6
Blanche Price, daughters of w. T. Price
spent the greater portion of last
week visiting friends in Gallipolis. 49,.
Terrible hard to get coal down the Coal
ton Branch these days. The young
folks Missionary Band held their meet
ing at the M. E. Parsonage, last night
I'D. T. Jones, Banker, is quite sick
today, and for day or two past. Mr..
John Doles, the gentleman of color, who
was accused of horrible crime, was
all night. -. Continued confinement in
Jail brings out new beauties in the char
acter of the frail Minnie Roberts. By
the way the officers claim to have pretty
strong chain of circumstantial evidence
against johnson. And there are circum-
stances which may give him much trou-
BILE. IA man named Condron was
beaten in the calaboose, on the day of the
hanging, and citizen asked, tonight, if
be could not recover damages. We
should think he had damages enough al
ready. .Tobe Trago, is, we learn, 60

Ion't like it bit. =. An Amusing Incl |
ent, showing the value of corroborative
occurred in the store of Evens, |
Iunsinger & Co., to-day. An old citizen
vas telling how much whisky another
Id citizen had probably drunk in his long
ife when the speaker declared "he had |
runk q hundred barrels !" Several men |
7ho knew the party declared that it was |
robably true. Finally neighbor of the |
