even money itself. We do not believe
that many Of our readers have q very
clear idea Of the difficulty during this
cold weather, and, consequently very
dull time for items, attending the fill.

paper. Our only wish is that they may
never have the labor and perplexlty
connected with the preparation Of that
department in q morning paper.
We found that our friends over the
river had not been Idle during the past
season. Quite number OF handsome
aud substantial buildings have been
erected, chief among which we men

house, which, we are told, ID already
filled up. The school Ii temporarily

for the position. Thenunber or pupils

anticipated, and the present aCcommo.

Mr.. Bates, residing short distance
west OF the village, on the National
Road, has built n tne brick mansion,
acknowledged 10 be the finest farm
house In Belmont county. Mr.. B. re.
turned TO this region not long since
from California, and Is q valuable Rc-
QUESTION 10 the neighborhood. l,.
Mr.. Lewis Cook has Put u good two
story frame residence on Main street,
which makes fine appearance and
evlnces taste and comfort In theowner.
Among the other new buildings
erected we noticed that OF Messrs.
Woodcock & Bro, on Main street, near
their foundry, designed fora ware
house, and we believe part Of 1t Is dt.
ted up as q public hall, and the fine
brick residence Of Mr.. Adam Eberle,
The exterior OF the passenger depot
building has recently been thoroughly
re-painted, which adds very much 10
Its appearance. II occurred to US that
few dollars expended on the Interior
would work an equally marvellous
change.
We do not profess 10 give all the i'm.
proyements that have been made In
the town during the past summer, In
the foregoing paragraphs. The brief
period We were there did not permit US

get up a list similar 10 the one prepared
by US few weeks since, OF our own

On Wednesday, Mr.. E. P. Rhodes re.
celyed from Chicago four or five car
loads Of pork that had been sailed In
bulk in the cars. Perhaps this IL
the hrst shipment OF the kind ever re.
celyed in this region In such condition,
and this mode will enable Mr.. Rhodes
10 put new bacon In the market ahead
OF all competition. We were told that
when the cars reached Bridgeport the
pork was quite thoroughly sailed, al
though 1t had been put up fresh only
some four or five days before.
The members and friends Of the NJ.
u. Church propose 10 hold a festival in
W0odcOck's new building, on Monday

first night OF the New Year lecture
will be delivered by the Rev. W. B..
Watkins or the Rev. Mr.. Sweeney, for.
merly u missionary in New Mexico.
The proceeds of these various enter
tainments are to be applied 10 the
liquidation OF Il debt against the church
property. AS these people are noted for
their thoroughness In making prepara-
tons for such occasions, no doubt 1t
will prove success and IL handsome
SUN will be realized.
A concert and tAbieaux are 10 be given
tonight by the members of the Emer-
aid Lodge OF Good Tenlplars. Such ar
engagements have been made as will in-
sure Il pleasant time, and as the net
proceeds are to be appropriated to aid
the Lodge In carrying on Its good work,
we hope large crowd will be In at

We were told that Mormon preach.
er has been holding services for some
time every Sunday afternoon, some
where In the village. We learned that
but ono convert had been made to the
doctrines of Brigham Young, which
certainly speaks we'll for the morals OF
the place. Polygamy Is not popular
over there, and we do not believe the
Territory OF Utah will receive any nun.
Der Of additions to It's population from
this region. The "Schoolnaster has
been abrUad" too long In "old Bel
mont" for such stuff as Mormonism TO
be successfully palmed upon them for
anything more than 1t Is really worth.
Mr.. William Reed. an employee in
the saw mill Of Mr.. William Stewart,
met with severe accident on Wednes.
day morning, while stick OF timber
was being drawn out OF the creek.
The cable used Tor that purpose has
two large iron hooks attached to 1t,
which are driven In the log, where
power is.applied from the engine. On
the morning named, this had been
done, and when the log was ascending
the ways the hooks came out and the
recoil OF the cable struck Mr.. Reed
terrible blow on the head. One Of his
ears was nearly torn of and he was
otherwise severely injured. DR.. Nc.
Conahy was icaIled In and dressed his
wounds. Yesterday Mr.. Reed was
quite comfortable, and he Is now con.
sidered out of danger, although when
first hurt 1t was feared his injuries
would prove fatal.
