A Thief Captured aud Per-
sonal Notes.
Last week the Daily Independent Of
this city, contained an item about youn !:
fellow from St. Clairsville, writing poetry
to some of the young ladies Of this city
The item was written in such way AZ t.
lead its readers to think that the "poet
was mashed on some of our pretty girls
Yesterdays letter in the REGISTER from st.
Clairsyille wanted to know who the dud I,
was, and wanted to get q glimpse OF tn :
party. Your correspondent, it seems,
was called upon to explain the matter, and
set the young poet right in the minds OF
the folks in this city and St Clairsy.lle.
The poetry was written by q boy VII :
is neither dude nor an ass
but respectable in every par
ticu'sr. and a / cad on him that vii,
be of great benefit to him in the future.
The Echo Literary Society of this city ha !
stsrted paper among its members, an |
devoted il to the Echo Society in particu.
lsr. This sixteen-year old Foet from st.
Clsirsyille thought TO help the paper and
opened up a correspondence from st.
Cihirsvile. HIS poetry, called the "CouD.
ty Seat" was sent 10 one OF the young Ia
die of the society, but unfortunately the
Echo had GisbaRded few days before the
missive srriv, d, and was never publishe 1.
The reporter of the Independent was
shown The verses by several young ladies,
and at once jumped to the conclusion that
the chap was writing letters to the
girls in poetry. Such was not
the case. The Independent has the poetry
and will probably publish it. The boy in
the case is considerably worried about the
matter and don't want lis name published.
We hope thiRgs will be Strengthened up
and ST. Clsirsville find that she has a chap
well versed in matters about the County
Seat" and no SLOUGH in writing poetry.
