A Meddlesom - e Worilan

Justice Amnion yesterday,,charging Peter
Bun with assault and battery. It appears
that Peter married a daughter of Mrs. Hop
kins, end' that the mother-in-law is in the
habit of visiting. Peter's house during his
absence and ' his wife stories calcu
lated to distract theharrnanof the house
hold. Peter having become tired of this
proceeding informed the old lady that she
must not come to the house any more.
Yesterday morning he crime in rather un
expectedly and found . the old lady, as
usual, in the midst of some big tale about
himself, and he rather unceremoniously
ejected her from the prernises. The Jus
tice; after hearing the case, did not think
it a clear case of assault and battery, and
accordingly. imposed a light fine on the de
fendant for disorderly conduct.
Bold Robbery
James Fife, an elderly gentleman from
Wilmington, Ohio, was relieved of his
•pocket book _yesterday morning at the
Union Depot in the following manner: Ilse
had jnst arrived on the western train,in
tending to take tho train going east, on the-
Pennsylvania Railroad. Being somewhat
of an. invalid. and having two young ladies
in charge, he gratefully accepted the kind
ly prciffered services of a nice young man,
who assisted in-the exchange from the .
western to the eastern train. When the
ladies, being attended to first, had been
seated inthe car, and just as Mr. Fife was
sitting down, the nice young man, by a
sudden and expert movement, passed his
hand into the old gentleman's pocket, drew
forth his pocket book, and, leaping to the
ground and over palings, nia - de his way up
Ohara street, at a rapid rate, before his as
tonished-victim or - those in the car could
make any alarm. The stolen pocket book
contained twenty-five dollars in money and
a railroad ticket. No trace of the thief
could be discovered, and Mr. Fife, deem
ing it unnecessary to waste time, procetded
on his way eastward. ,
Another Victim.
Another successful confidence game was
played on the western bound train of the
Ritisburgh,,Port Wayne and Chicago Rail
way on Wednesday evening. The victim
was a farmer going west to. buy a farm, and
the operators two - sharpers, One of whoin
made his acguaintance.at the Union Depot.
When the train was near Rochester, and
while the farmer was engaged in an inter
esting chat with, his • new found friend,
sharper ,No; 2. stepped up and demanded
•the.payment of, , , , that little bill.", No. 1 had
no ready cash, but offered a 4500 check
on a Pittsburgh bank, or - a IWO bond:
NO. 2'. badni Elie change, whereupon he
.'suggested an arrangement; whereby 'the
cornier exchanged his ;1500 it! greenbacks
for the bond and thirty dollars extra for
the interest. due. shiat 'time after this oc
currence the verdant gentlemen, being left
at Lis leisure,. examined the bond and
found it deficient in one important item,
that of being redeemable. Ho returned tb
the city and will not buy his farm at pres
ent. In the meanwhile, affable strangers
and nice young men are his especial
aversion.
An, Abused Wife.

a telegraphic dispatch from Warren, Ohio,
signed J. Or Topiey, describing a woman
who, it was•••stated, left that town that

Secretaries—Reporters of the Republican
The President, after thanking the audi
ence ' for the honor. conferred, introduced
J. E. McKelvey, Etat., ivho , xtuide 'an ad
dress of some len'gth.' Mr McKelvey ar
gued that notwithstanding all the efforts of
the Democratic, party to -direct dirtsat the atten
tion of the peoplefrem thereat main issue,
they were unsuccessful in blinding the
eyes of an .intelligent community to the
unquestionable fact that the present
contest was simply one between loyalty
and disloyalty, a question whether the peo
ple who had so freely given of their treas
ure and, sacrificed their all on the altar of
their country, were to reap the fruits of the
struggle Se valiantly ma'ntained, and in
which they so gloriously triumphed. The
gentleman in an able and eloquent manner
handled this question, sustaining his posi
tion with facts from tli. history of the past
and present,. which fully and clearly sub
stantiated his assertion. The character of
the parties who were arrayed against
each other—on the one side those
who, when the , nation was in
the -- throes of a mighty rebellfon, and
when every effort was needed to preserve
it from dissolution, were found in the ranks
of its defenders gallantly contending for its
salvation, and ~n the other side those who by
:let, and v ice, and veto had endeavored to
emb irrass the Government, paralyze its en
-ergiesand surrender i, to red-handed rebels
—w,,s sufficient to con since every roil ecting
man that,the present contest wa. simply a
renewal of the old strmigle. In closing
the gentleman urged upon all tbe neces-ity
of active work and ceaseless vigilance.
When the third of November roiled round,
with Grant and Colfax in the chief offices
of State, and peace, harmony and pros
perity secured throughout the land, the-re
ward could be ample for all the toil. and
they could rejoice in the glorious results of
their patriotic efforts. .
.-
H. H. McComb:lt., Esq., was the next
speaker. Mr. McCormick stated in corn
s: acing that as the first speaker had occu
pied most of the ground, he would confine
his remarks to but one question
—the question of bonds and green
backs- The ! Bemoeracy, with many
glittering generalities and sophestries,
are continually harping on , this subject;
trying to make it the main issue v and be
cause the Republican party, lOoking deeper
into the great question at issue, refuse to
accord to this the leading place, treating it
merely as aside issue, the cry goes up from
these valiant champions that Republi
cans are afraid - to consider this ques
tion -at all. Now this is' all a most
egregious mistake. Upon no issue before
the people, whether it be greenbacks or
bor.ds, or- any other thing entering into
this campaign, are the Republicans of any
section of the land afraid to discuss, and to
discusis, not as Democratic Londe-mare wont
to di-cuss, in alliny sinuosities and
,subtle, bewildering generalities, but fairly,
squarely,. and directly. The gentleman
then proceeded in a masterly manner to
handle the bond question, proving clearly
by facts and figures that the stand taken
by the, Republican party on this issue was
the only true and just one, and could only
be adopted by a nation which prized its in
tegrity or honor. His remarks were listen
ed to with careful attention by the audience,
-who seemed to fully appreciate and endorse
them.
At the conclusion of Mr. MeCortnick'a
sPeech Gen. Bleakleythanked the audience
for their good' order and attention, arid invi
ted all present to meet at the same place on
Friday evening, September 11, when other
able Speakers are expected to be present.

Tile Imperial lire Insurance Company of
Loddon.
The business publicwill be delighted to
learn that the venerable ;Impel ial Fire
Insurance Company of London, England,
has opened a branch offiCe in this city, over
which our well known fellow citizen,
J.. Y. McLaughlin, Esq., wilt pro de. This
Company, established so far back 119'1803,
has for more than half a century been
regarded as one of the staunchest and most
trustwoi thy corporations of Europe, and
the - uniform promptness with which it.hi,s
Met itsobligationshasaocured for it a stand-
Irg and position higher than whith nonel
other in the world enjoys. It has a capital
of over eight million dollars in gold, and
Its affairs are managed with unusual
ability. Its rates are reasonable at:d fire
risks are taken exclusi iely, the policies
by stipulation to'be paid either in gold or
currency. No doubt but the enterprise of
the company in extending its great bencfits
hero will receive compensating patronage
and encouragement from our merchants.
Of the integrity and business qialifications
of the agent, Mr. J. Y. McLaughlin, we
need not speak, as lie is so well and favor
ably known in mercantile circles. He has
opened an office at 67 Fourth street, and
has already taken many large risks on
property anii stooks, and if the claims of
the company become more thoroughly
known to the pubic, he will !monopolize a
large share of pro nage.
