KEARNEYSVILLE.

Our Blaine q Logan CluD was du-
dressed last Saturday by P. A. Rohr-
baugh. of your city, and Benjamin
Fox, member of the club. We are
still adding largely to our number.
At this meeting committee was APP
pointed to organize club in Middle
way on Wednesday following.
/ had an interview this day with
A. Trump, who has just returned from
the interior Of the State. He brings
with him cheering reports from all
sections and says that Maxwell will
undoubtedly be elected and West Va.
is all right for Blaine. He never saw
such enthusiasm for the Republican
cause as there is at present.
| Yesterday Democrat remarked to
me, "why you Republicans in this
county are carrying the war into
Africa" Yes, sir" says /, " we are
beading the lion in his den and the
Douglas in his Hail." The Shepherds
town Register is considerably warmed
up over the matter, and the Free
Press man has pain in his ''stomich."

| Our community is at present con-
siderably agitated over several acts OF
thieving that have occurred in our
midst. On Sunday morning last
whilst Mr.. Geo. Seibert and his fami-
ly were absent from home, two tramps
entered his dwelling and carried of
$40 in money and about $50 worth of
jewelry, &C. They Immediately on
their return commenced search for
the scoundrels, and aided by Mr..
Roush Mckee and Mr.. Creque of your
city, succeeded in finding and arrest
ing them near Vanclevesville with
the property in their possession. The
criminals are now safely lodged in
the Martinsburg Jail.
Last evening (Sept. 18th, the Bap-
fist Church at Leetown was entered
by unknown parties and desecrated.
The corner stone was also dislodged
and its contents carried away.
The Kearneysville Post Office was
also entered forcibly one night last
week and robbed. Fortunately there
was one dollar taken, the thieves fail
ing to find the bulk of the money
which was concealed under some
books.

gentlemen, and Lynch Law.
