The circuit clerks office at Harrison was robbed recently. Some one eff fected an entrance through the window into the office, and by means of crow bar, cut out hole through the brick wall into the vault A box containing all the indictments found by the last grand jury, and small box containing s200 in county scrip, belonging to Clerk John Roy, were stolen. These were the only things in the office that were disturbed.

It is generally conceded that it was some of the boys who supposed there were bills of indictments against them. There is talk of a special session of the grand jury being called to do it's work over.

such curiosity hereabouts that hun
dreds of people have called at the home

freak is perfectly formed in every way,
with the exception that where the
front legs should be there are only
small tufts of hair. The parents are
both well developed and perfectly
formed.
1t looks not unlike the kangaroo
when walking, but when lying down
there is no distinguishing appearance
from any other dog. Half rat-terrier
and half whifiet, 1T is now almost full
grown and weighs perhaps Is pounds
1t is in excellent health and lively and
frisky as dog could we'll be. Its man

other dogs, and then its body is pro-
PEELED along the ground by its abnor-
mally long hind legs, and at such times
the shoulder blades which seem well
developed, are seen to work with great
rapidity.
