. Mistake.

A Mistake.
A few days ago we announced that
Mr.. A. c Downing was running the only
omnibus line between tkis city and st.
Clairsville. We made the announce
ment without making any particular
inquiry in reference to the matter, sup
posing that our informant was correct.
But We were mistaken. Messrs. E. L. &
E. W. johnson, (of the National HOTEL
and S. Stillwell, Of st. Clairsville, are
now, and have never ceased, running
their line between the named places.
We cheerfully make this correction
knowingthat lis but doingjustice to the
honorable and polite gentlemen referred
to, who We unintentionable wronged in
eur previous notice.

Law

Perhaps it is not generally known that
there exists a law upon the statute
books of this State making it larceny
for any one to conceal, or refuse to return
to the proper owner anything they may
find that was lost, or even if they retain
the article so found until reward is
offered, and claim the same, they can be
convicted of theft. The law only re-
cognizes such good luck as giving a
finder possession of property in such ca,
ses only where the owner cannot be dis
covered after proper exertion.

Andrew Comas was arraigned for as
sault and battery on one John Clifford
who resides in the same building with
him. A number of witnesses, both
male and female, were examined in this
case. Mr.. Clifford rents his portion OF
the house from Mr.. Comas and it seems
that the quarrel originated from the
smoking condition of enc Of the stoves
belonging to the latter. On account OF
Mr.. Clifford complaining about the
matter, Mr.. Comas concluded he would
ri 5e him satisfaction, in style peculiar
to himself, and for this purpose follow
ed him (Mr. Clifford) out of his house
and struck him once as he was entering
the door of his ewn. He then caught
him by the collar, and drew him back,
while he administered several more
blows. For this aggravating assault be
was fined ten dollars and costs.
The case of Thomas Boyd for assault
ing Charles Mcpherson, was dismissed,
there being no evidence to substantiate
the charge.
George W. Nichols, who belongs to
the volunteer swearing corps, was out
on parade on Saturday night last, aud
introduced some new and novel phrases
in cursing, interpersed with the deterH
ination to annihilate some German gen.
tleman. There is no telling what he
would have done if allowed to go on,
but the story of his career is cut sud-
denly short by the interference of an
officer, who had him kindly taken
care of for the time being. The ex-
penses of this parade cost George some
thing over ten dollars.

Police Court.

Police Court.
There was a mixed crowd of juveniles
and grown persons at the Police Court
yesterday morning, though not as many
as usually attend on occasions when so
| much business is transacted. We were
told by a gentleman, who never fails to
be present, that it was owing 10 the bad
condition of walking that prevented
many of the "regu ars" from attending,
aud alluded to the fact that it was
with some risk TO his health that he
ysutured out to apologize for the non
attendance of its patrons. He hoped
they would be excused this one time
and promised that they would do better
in the future without regard to weather.
Cinderella Gray was passing by the
Grant House a day or-two ago, when
she suddenly bethOught herself that she
needed some new clothes, and espying
basketful fresh and Clearly washed in
the yard of the said hotel she could net
resist the temptation of looking at them.
In consideration of Cinderella's necessi-
ties it was quite natural that she should
fall desperately in love with the arti-
cles contained in the basket, and be
carried away with the pleasant imagin-
alton how pretty she would look if she
could only get to wear them. She was
not long in coming to the conclusion
that she would reverse the matter, and
instead of being carried any further by
the basket, she would just carry it along
with her. This seemed TO her praeti-
Tcable way of doing business while at
the same time it destroyed the feeling
of covetousness by supplying its de-
mauds. One Of the gentlemen at the
Grant House, suppOsing that she was
only joking. offered to assist her to
bring them back, but this she refused to
do. and abused him in the most filthy
language, which led to her arrest. Her
appearance and delapidated condition
made her an object Of pity and she was
Let of with the smallest fine Of one dol
lar and costs.

a s,uv,e WAY or Raising Potatoes

1t is stated that Irish potatoes, in
great quantities, can be grown by any
one having four by eight feet of spare
ground in their back yard. The pro-
cess is simple: Procure a crate, such
as chiuawsre is imported in, aud place
In the bottom about six inches of straw,
then drop potatoes on this surface, say
six inches apart, then six inches more
of straw and then more potatoes and so
on until the crate is full. Wet the con-

tents of the crate thoroughly, and every
evening afterward throw bucket fol
of water over the top surface. The 20
tatoes will grow and produce abund-
antly. When they are large enough to
eat they can be easily drawn out and
will be found to be perfectly white
with very thin skin.

Last evening, at Good Templar Hall
was witnessed one of those interesting
affairs that ever contribute so much to-
wards rendering life scene of pleasure
and of breathing into existence incl
dents that memery fondly cherishes
The youth and beauty and old age with
its approving smiles had assembled to-
/ gether TO do homage TO one of the most
respected aud honored members of the
order by presenting to him an appropri'
ate emblem in recognition of their es'
teen and appreciation OF his worth
Expectation was on the tip-toe, and the
recipient was entirely ignorant of the
event of the occasion until massive

associations, and hoped to be ever able
to do his duty in carrying out the great
work it has undertaken, aud merit a
