Saloonists Flee the Law.

Portsmouth, O,. Aug. 26.-

The firm of Howes & Green, proprietors of the Shoe Saloon, have suddenly disappeared. 

Joseph Green, the junior partner, violated the government laws by selling whisky at the Harrisonville reunion without a license, and, fearing arrest, departed the same day.

The firm is from Huntington, W. Va. 

Constable Williams attached the stock to satisfy the many creditiors.
