HALLow E'EN.-The boys, not to be
cheated out of their Hallow eve sports,
because it fell on Sunday, paid partlcu'
lar attention to the club and cabbage
part of the business on Saturday night.
During our peregrinations we met
party of six or eight, loaded with
cabbages and cabbage stalks, and each
chap bearing in his hand club as big
as himself. And didn't they make a
row on somebody's door, neither Oh,
no. Guess not ! We walked on the op'
posite side of the street, watching
them. One little chap about as big as a
pound of soap after days washing,
with his yaller hair leaking out through
the fore-piece of his cap, his face streak
ed with coal dust, like Camanche war.
rior in his war paint, the only Clean
spot on it being just around his nose
and chin, as far as his tongue could
reach, marched up to door and whaled
away at it with his club. The Others
stood on either side of the steps and on
the curb.stone. Suddenly man open
ed the door in answer to the rude
knock, when the boys let flicker with
their cabbages and cabbage stalks till
the wonder and cabbage-stricken man
must have thought it was raining vege-
table soup. And then it was fun to see
the little varments elite out" and
gather under a gaslight on another
corner to plan another surprise for some
other favorite friend. There's no use
talking, boys will be boys, and they do
enjoy the privilege of making mischief
and kicking up jolly row on Hallow
eve.

fany, one Of the most graceful and
pleasing actresses on the stage, and OF

RAILROAD ACcfDENT.-Thep passenger
train of the Central Ohio railroad due
here about midnight on Friday did BOT
arrive until 6 o'clock Saturday morning
