HUsToN HAIL.--Prof. Morey commenced
series of novel entertainments at Huston
Hall last evening. His magical perfor-
msnces astonished and amused the large
audience present. The exhibition each
evening is accompanied with the distribu-
ton of large number of gifts of more or
less value. We learn that the lucky ones
last evening were entirely satisfied with
their success in this line.
New BUSINESS HoUsEs.-Mr. Joshua
Worman has commenced the erection of
several business rooms on the vacant lot OH
Jefferson street. Immediately North of the
corner OF ThiH. He has taken a lease on
the ground for several years, and the pro-
posed structure will contain four conve-
nient and substantial business houses, two
stories high, with a front fifteen feet and
depth of fifty feet each. This is one of the
most desirable locations in the city for bus
iness purposes. and we learn that the in
tention of MIR. Worman is to push the work
to completion without the least delay.
SUICIDE AT TTRoY.-Our neighboring town
of Troy, Miami County, was thrown into
excitement on Saturday evening by the
unexpected announcement of the sudden
death of DIR. Reuben J. Shackelford, a
prominent physician and old citizen of that
place. On Friday evening he took large
dose of belladona at Midway, Clark County,
Ohio, where he was on a visit with his
wife's relatives, who reside in or near that
town. He was member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, at which funeral services
were had at an early hour on Sabbath
morning. Pecuniary troubles and partial
insanity are alleged as the cause of the
rash act.
HORSE TAIK.--A large concourse of peo-
pie assembled on Main street this afternoon,
and were greatly entertained by discus
sion between Prof. Balm and Prof. Howe on
the science of training wild and vicious
horses. The superiority of the respective
systems of the contestants was maintained
with great earncstness ON both sides, but
we couldn't see that the audience was any
wiser for the information impaired. Each
of course, insisted that his system was the
best-a position which we have no desire
60 gainsay. We have seldom witnessed a
more liberal demonstration of real ''horse
talk" The disputants occupied the stand,
for portion OF the time, together, and al
though their remarks were on many points
decidedly personal, they seemed to under
stand themselves perfectly. Neither got
mad, and that was the best thing in the per-
formance.
THE DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION OF Frank
lin County holds regular meetings in
Columbus, which are largely attended by
the Democracy. On Tuesday evening the
topic OF discussion was the Monroe Doc
trine, and was participated in by Judge
Rankin, X. Hutcheson, Esq, and others.
The speeches were listened TO with deep in
terest and displayed marked ability. These
