 Fl flock of swallows came on Thursday, and began building nests under the caves on the west side of the Court House. There have been. busy times among theds ever since, bring ing mud in their beaks and gradually building up the walls of their little homes. We should judge a bout fifty nests are in process of cree tion, and two or three. seem completed. The industry and skill which they exhibit have at- tracted considerable attention from persons passing by.

 The batting on both sides. was very fine, as the number of tallies indicates the Weanti naug Club fairly outdoing Memsezres.. The day was superb, and a large number oi spe :tators were present. including a brilliant array of ladies, whose attendance added greatly to the enlivening of the game. .,
 At the close of the game three hearty cheers were given by each Club for its opponents, and also for the Umpire and the ladies. sEz VI --
 Mr. Esselstyn gave unirersal satisfaction, und that is saying enough in praise of any Umpire, but if more were necessary we would willingly add another page in regard to his ability.

 At the close of the evenings entertainment, MT.

Quite large number of cattle and horses
were exhibited at the Stock Sales yester-
day, but owing to the inclement state of the
weather, the attendance was slim, as was
the case, we are informed, at London, last
Tuesday. The views Of buyers and sellers
were wide apart, consequently, few sales
were made. A numbero of fresh mich cows
were sold, mostly to country buyers, who
know how to appreciate the products ofthe
dairy at this season of the year. A few
horses. hogs, etc., were sold at low figures.
We hope to see more favorable weather the
next sale day. Citizens, operators and
spectators should be on hand to encourage
the enterprise. .nl9 dt.fs

Mile Marietta had another fine audience
at the Atheneum last night notwithstand-
ing the bad state of the atmosphere. She
delighted her audience with her graceful
presentations of the dumb Boy of Man
chester" and was well sustained by Mr..
Bates and the balance of Mr.. Ellslers ex-
cellent company. Her performance on the
tight rope was magnificent and elected
rounds OF applause.
Mile Ravel is to have benefit this even
ing, and she deserves big house. and let
it be given her by all means. The pro-
gramme will consist of the beautiful drama
Of the Angel Of Observation-Disclosures
Rayel in speaking character. She will
also appear in her wonderful evolutiOns on
the tight rope, without the aldo a balance
pole. In performances of this nature Mile
Rayelis without rival, and this part of the
entertainment is alone worth double the
price of admission. During her stay in this
city, she has by her endeayors to please our
citizens and her lady-like department, gain
ed a high position in the regard Of our
people, who, we trust, will see to it that her
benefit this evening is fully commensurate
with the unequalled talent she possesses,
and worthy the good name of our city, A
full house and an excellent performance
may be expected.

Never in the recollection of the "oldest
inhabitant" has High.street, in the city Of
Columbus, presented such an aspect as it
does at present. It would be safe to say
that from the north end to the south, the
mud on an average, is six inches deep
thin, sloppy, black mud. Even the cross
ings are covered with the same article to
such depth that it is impossible for ladies
to cross without being drabbled with its
slime and filth, unless they place their gar
ments in position which subjects them to
the gaze and derision of the loafers who
congregate on the street corners. 1t is a
burning shame that those who have the
control over the thoroughfares of the city,
will suffer them to remain in such condi-
ton.

An Outrage at laiIliard StatIOn--A
Prominent Citizen Gets His Arm
Broken In TWO Places. M
A bad feeling has existed for some time
between two prominent citizens William
Gill and Doctor Seegar, Of Hilliard Station.
in this county, caused by Seegar's cows
frequently committing depredatiOns upon
the corn field Of Gill. Mr.. Gill had ap-
proached Seegar several times on the sub
ject but could not persuade him to keep
them away. On last Monday night they
again broke into his field and destroyed a
large quantityo of corn, and in the morning
Gill's hired man turned them out and re-
ported to Gill, who turned them into one of
his fields until he could see Seegar and
make some arrangements whereby his corn
would be safe. In the mean time Seegar
saw his COWS shut up and Immediately
turned them out, and in turn Gin was driv-
ing them in again when he encountered
Seegar, who was armed with large club
about six feet long. Seegar struck Gill on the
side Of his head knocking him down in the
mud, and continued beating him, swearing
he would kill him. Gill threw up his right
arm to ward off the blows as they descend-
ed, and his arm was broken in two places,
both below and above the elbow. The
neighbors now interfered and rescued Gill,
who was taken up in an insensible condi-
ton. He was conveyed TO his residence,
where his arm was set and wounds dressed
by DIR. Jewett. DR.. Seegar is a large, pow
crful man, whilst Gill is the reverse, being
small and diminutive. Great excitement
prevailed amongst the citizens of Hilliard
when our informantleft and steps were be-
ing taken 10 arrest DIR. Seegar.
We have given the above just as we re-
celvedit from our informant, who is q reli--
able gentleman. An investigation, how
ever, will place all the facts before the
people.
