A well-dressed and rather gOOd-lsoking
young man calling himself Chas. H. Reid,
was arrested in New Market, on Wednes-
day, on a telephone message from this
place, charging him with being aswindler
and getting money under false prctenses.
That no has been swindling the milliners,
mantua makers, &c, through the Valley
does not admit OF a doubt. He represent
ed himself a. travelling salesman or agent
for Kouch & Co., of New York
His game was TO take orders for fashion
plates, patterns, &c, receive the money,
and Of course that was all the victim ever
heard of him or the goods. A circular sent
ont by II. +. C. KOuch h Co, denounced
him as a swindler, and stated that they
had no agents out on the road. 1t was by
means of one of these circulars that he
was apprehended. Police officer ZeilsF, Of
New Market, nabbed him and held him
until the arrival Of Deputy Sheriff J. W.
Wenper and will Hite, when he WAS turn
ed over TO them. He at once asked these
gentlemen whether he would be released
upon returning the money tn the different
persons in Mt. Jackson, Edinburg, and
Woodstock. When brought to this place
he was taken before Justice JnO. II.
Grabill, Commonwealth Attorney, Jas.
c. Baker, appearing against him. He was
bailed in the sum of so for his appearance
tho next morning, the prisoner putting mp
his gold watch and $25. OF course the
prisoner was not on hand the next day,
but his watch and the money will be snf-
ficient to repay ell the parties he swindlod
in this county. While waiting for the JUS
tice the prisoner agreed to repay some OF
the money, and would have done 50 but

recently any news from this place in your
paper we herewith send you a few items.
Our roads are in very bad condition
rendering 1t almost impossible to use them.
The Mock trial, which was the Princi-
pal topic here last week. was held on Sat
urday night before full house. The trial
resulted in sending young man to the
penitentiary for Is years for stealing "Old
Pete" a horse belonging to one Of our cit
liens. Now, we think this too rough on
tho young man, but you will see our court
here is determined to punish crime to The
fullest extent. Messrs. J. W. Saum and
Dir. Nal his appeared for the common
wealth, and Prof Ham and w. l.. Rhodes
for the defense. The whole affair was
quito amusing and was much enjoyed
As you would suppose, most Of the wit
nOsses under q cross-examination got bad
" mixed. The young limbs OF the law
above named managed the case very well,
and seem 10 be possessed Of quite store
Of legal knowledge. Their shingles Will
soon appear in Woodstock.
We were all shocked on last Tuesday to
learn Of the death from erysipelas of Mr.
Nelson NJ. Miller, which sad event oo-
CURED in Chicago, on the 18th. Mr.. Miller
was the youngest son Of the late Rev
Thos. Miller and brother of Mrs. James w.
spiker, OF this place. Mr.. Miller, when q
boy, had very hard spell of fever and Is
remembered here as having been at the
pount of death for several weeks, and his
recovery under the skillful care Of DIR.
Campbell, Of your place, was regarded as
almost miracu loas. His remains arrived
here Sunday, accompanied by his brother
Mr.. Robt. L. Miller, OF Washington. After
an impressive sermon by Elder 4. b.
! Shaver his remains were inferred in the
family burying ground. To his aged
mother aud other relatives we extend ouI
heartfelt sympathy. His age was about

have at least one article on what we
believe to be the most important issue
