~ Rey. l. F. King, of the NJ. Z. Church
with several brethren, halted at the corner
of Court and Faystte streets, where a
crowd Of loafers were assembled listening
to the harangue Of some hummer connected
with Rryap's show, last Sunday, and
changed The services to singing and prayer,

lively, and seemed not at all displeased
with the change of programme sH
-, We neglected to mention the arrival
q couple Of weeks since Of the first Veloc
ipede in our 'burg." The institution has
been kept SHADY" since its arrival, owing
to the fact that no one could navigate it,
out we understand that several gentlemen
are in private training, making perseyer-
ing efforts to conquer the machine, with
degree of success which warrants us in an
nouneing a public exhibition Of scientific
veloeipedestrianeousness in short time.
Notwithstanding Fayette county
is one the Greatest corn counties in Ohio,
and that chad good crop last fall, it
has been necessary to bring corn here on
the cars from other counties within the
past week, with which to feed hogs that
are being fattened for the summer market.
There used to be vague idea that it was
necessary to have distilleries here for the
purpose of furnishing market for the
surplus corn produced on our rich farms,
But the great number Of hogs and cattle
fed in the county FURNISHES good market
FOE all the corn We can raise without the
aid Of whisky mills. !
