SHALERSVILLE,

AUG. 24.-Pardon US if we step in. this rainy
Monday morning. and whisper few words of
news in your ear. The store of A. A. Barber was
entered by burglars. on Friday evening last, by
unlocking the front door (it is supposed with
skeleton key). cutting out pane of glass, and
unbolting it from the inside. The thieves then
entered the postoflce apartment of the store, and
unlocking the safe, took about sixty dollars in
money, and a good many stamps. how many can
not be known. they took the stamp registry
book with them. The money drawer was found
in field ear the store. broken and empty. The
same evening. o. +. Hickox. our landlord, was
relieved of $l17 in cash, and a silver watch. The
ensrance was made there by cutting glass in
back door and turning button which fastened
the door on the inside. The money was in Mr..
Hs pants in his bedroom, and the watch in the
same room. There were some suspicious charac-
ters about the Center that day. and some light
may yet be thrown on the robbery. One of two
things is certain. either the parties who did the
job were familiar with the location. or else tn ey
were accomplished in that kind of work. for no
locks were broken. and the safe has a combina- =
tion lock.

II. horticulture! Society
CAPTURED!
By tAs Politicians!

The August meeting of the Portage County
Horticultural Society was held at the County
Fair Grounds on Wednesday of last week.
The Society was entertained by James T.
Riddle and Lafayette Smith, who had made
ample arrangements for the comfort and pleas
ure of the attendants.
After the usual social intercourse and excel
lent dinner, the President called order in the
tent at two o'clock.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved. and a bill for printing allowed.
Reports of standing committees were called
for.
The Secretary said that after somewhat ex-
tended trip throughout a few of the northeastern
yield fully one-third of crop throughout that
section. While some orchards are entirely bare,
many will give fair crop. The same may be
said of peaches, and fine specimens of the latter
are selling now in Lake Co. at one dollar per
bushel. We will not suffer the lack of fruit that
we did last year. He believes that there will be
sufficient fruit, even in Portage county,to supply
a reasonable demand.
He has made considerable inquiry since last
meeting, as to the prevalence of the potato bee
tie, and finds that there have been comparative
ly few of them this year. Some report abso-
lutely none on their vines, while occasionally
one has an over-abundance. Hopes are enter
tanned by some that the natural enemies of the
beetle are about to relieve potato growers of the
larger part of this burden.
Mr.. Bartlett, upon vineyards, said that grapes
| hat. oIc hot with ofh
fruit, while some vines are heavily laden, others
are entirely bare of fruit.
Several of the committees were conspicuous
for their absence.
AT this point, the essayst of the day, Mr.. S.
P. Wolcott, of Kent, was introduced. He re-
quested the audience to become as comfortably
seated as possible, as he was about to aflct
them with " very long paper upon very dry
subject" And when he announced his subject
as (which is the Best for This Country, Pro.
lection or Free Trader" and proceeded to oc-
cupy forty minutes in the discussion of this pre-
eminently unhorticultural subject, his hearers
were quite ready to agree with his statement O
its dryness. Some of his audience left upon the
bare announcement of his subject, and many
ASineiiASo Oliiy SOuAtSoy ~ eiiN
speaker With the possible exception of a few
prominent politicians all felt that the addres:
was very inappropriate to the OCCASION and tina
an undue advantage had been taken of them.
AT its close, motion was made that the ad
dress be not allowed to be printed in the min
utes of the Society, on account of its inappro
priateness and political tendency,a and the motion
was upheld by number of members. Blu
upon favorable statements by the President
Secretary, and others, the motion was lost.
The meeting then adjourned, having givei
fifteen minutes to purely horticultural matter
, and one hour to an address upon a poltica
question and its discussion.
