RAPE AND RIOT - Our town was thrown into a fever of excitement last week, by 
the arrest and trial of seven young men, on a charge of assault with intent to 
commit a rape.  We listened to the evidence of the prosecution, but did not 
hear the arguments of the counsel.  It appeared in evidence that Harlow Jones, 
and ten other young men went to the house of Peter Barringer on the night of 
the 8th of August, and after obtaining admittance, under false pretences 
proceeded in a very riotous and abusive manner toward the inmates.  One young 
girl it was alleged was taken out of the house and her person outraged.  Some 
of the family escaped to a neighboring house and a young man named Stanley, who 
was sleeping in the house, having procured some weapon, finally succeeded in 
driving the rioters away.  Seven young men were arrested, and after a full 
investigation before Esq. Paine, six were recognized in the sum of $600 each, 
for their appearance at Court, and one was discharged, there not being 
sufficient evidence to implicate him with the others.  

Verily, we are rapidly becoming a city -- at least, as far a crime is concerned.

HARRISON COHEN vs John S. Morgan - In attachment -- at my instance an order of 
attachment was issued on the 20th day of July last, by s. s. Paine, a Justice 
of the Peace, in Salisbury township, Meigs county, Ohio, against the goods, 
chattels, moneys, effect 7c of the said John S. Morgan.  Said order was issued 
for the sum of $117,15, my demand, and Probate costs $7.00 - the same was 
returned executed, and the cause continued for trial till the 10th day of 
September next, at 10 o'clock A.M.
