burglary ;n Cromw eli.

Burglars broke into the store of A. X.
Leach, at Cromwell, last Monday night.
1t is supposed that they had KEY and
got in at one of the doors. They bored
hole in the safe and blew it open, but
happily there was but little money in
it. Mr.. Pate II. Brown had some old
silver and gold coins which they got
They got some - TO SO out of the cash
drawer in the store. The post-office is
kept in the store, and they went thro'
it, tearing open u any letters, but got
nothing except about IS, which they
took out Of the drawer. There is no
clue to the afiair-no person is sus-
picioned. They were evidently ex-
perts. Two men were seen on the road
between Beaver Dam and Cromwell
after dark, going in the direction OF
Cromwell. They were walking, and
are supposed TO be the ones who broke
into the store. Ii is supposed that the
burglary was committed about three
O'Clock Tuesday morning.

nature sank beneath the burden, he
resigned his spirit to the Lord Jesus,
and died the death of the righteous.
He leaves wife and four children to
mourn his loss, while four are rejoicing
with him in the New Jerusalem. He
has thirty-four grandchildren and
nine great-grand-children His re-

The Check System.

The ease of Ivey vs.. the Central
Coal aud Iron Company, or, as Mr..
Hubbard, the Plaintiffs attorney, styled
it, capital vs.. labor, was tried in Quar-
terly Court last week, before a jury.
The case had gained some notoriety and
quite crowd assembled to hear il
argued. The defendants as well as sew
eral other coal operators have check
~ stem or a short method of book
keeping, which is very convenient and
satisfactory to both parties. But, il
seems that such men As Ivey object to
il. He rather does not object to it as
the case showed, but wanted something
for nothing. The company failed TO
pay of one month, and i'm the mean
time Mr.. Ivey drew about Sos in checks
and did something like S55 worth of
work-at any rate, when the the Com
pany did pay off, lvey owed them
Ss.25. When they came to his name
he wanted in money for the full amount
of work done He did not want to
allow the Company anything for the
checks he drew and spent for provisions,
etc, for his family, but principally for
beer. As matter of course, the Com
pany would not agree to any such
thing. He then concluded to sue the
Company for the full amount of labor.
The case came up before Esquire
Byers and he gave Ivey a judgment.
Ii was then appealed and the defend
ants got judgment against Ivey for S. .25.

Rather Suspicious.

Beaver Dam was startled Sunday
morning when il was made known
that Mr.. Robert Stone aud Mrs. Sam
Anderson We're both missing. Mrs.
Anderson is the wife of Stones half
brother. It is not known that they
left together, but il il supposed 50, as
1t is very singular that they should
both be missing at the same time.
Mis-. Anderson is beautiful lady of
about twenty summers, while Mr.
Slone is thirty-five, married and has
"A house full of children. Two hearth
sides vacant, two families ruined, all
on account of mans perfidy and
woman's Inconsistency.
We have also learned since the above
was written that Mr.. w. l.. Harris was
missing from the same place on the
night above mentioned.

Mr.. Stephen Williams favorite hound
strayed fiOm home last week and came
to Rockrort. In "a tour of the town
his dogship happened out on the bridge
at train time and colided with the cow
catcher. He was fine dorg, your
honor, but after the collision he was
about the deadest dog you ever saw.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Garrison
Kelly, of Centertown, "A very respect
able shoemaker, was standing near
the moving carriage of the saw-mill of
that place, which ran over and crushed
his left leg. A few days ago gangrene
set in and amputation became necessa-
ry. DIR. Layton went down Saturday
and cut the limb off just above the
knee. DIR. Layton reports him in u
very critical condition. as there is great
danger of blood poisoning. DIR. Sand
ers assisted IN the operation. LATER
he has since died.
The fall rains and continued warm
weather are invaluable to the people i'm

cry of tobacco, at reasonably good

Mr.. John Scott, of Virginia, gives an
amusing reminiscence of the late war,
which may he worthy of reprint When
Gen. Early started on his march to
Maryland, in July, 1864, Col. NIosby,
to cooperate with Early's marching
army, struck the enemy's line of com
munication between Washington and
Harper's Ferry, captured camp and
plundered a dry goods house at Point
of Rock, on the Potomac. They then
re-crossed the river, bedecked i'm a
very grOtesque and original manner.
As they passed along the road, some
wearing bOnnets all arrayed in crino-
line and disguised with some incon-
gruous and fantastic article of apparel,
they looked like IA company of masquer-
aders. Mrs. Dawson, who was in her
garden rs she beheld the terrifying
procession nearing her house, was
seized with CONSERVATION, and rushing
to the house, exclaimed "Run, my
childred, run for your lives ! They are
coming, they are coming. They amt
Yank's an they ain't Reb's! They
must be Indians. Oh, they will scalp
us, they will scalp usr' SUGGs.
