BAY VIEW ITEMS.

Our NILLAGE.-Items are rather in
ascendancv in this locality, finding from
last weeks issue of that mammoth
sheet, The Democrat, Bay View and
its surroundings is truly notable To-
calty, What have We not and what
have we? Well we have entertain
ments for man and horse-or rather
man without the horse. Two hotels
one convenient and another a little
more so-where the liquid life is ever
at command in quantities and less
We have a store kept by very clever
fellow, but oh what mangled
mess !" Goods in plenty, but ever in
admirable confusion. Next in impor-
lance, in business way, is busy Abel
always at it, hammer in hand, and saw
under arm, at early dawn and late at
nigat; he drives the smithy and leads
the woodwork department of an extern
sive carriage mandatory. Industry
must thrive. We have also an extern
sive dealer in poultry and produce, on
the corner of Wood and High streets.
Next in Importance is the boot and
shoe establishment, carried on by G.
W. Benjamin, Esq, one of the staunch-
est Republicans in the county BY the
way we have a doctor too, who is con-
sidered excellent in heart disease
REIIGIoUs.-On Sabbath last the
Rev. j. NJ. Elderdice preached an ex-
cellent sermon from the following
words-"I am come that they might
have life and that they might have it
more abundantly" John, 10th chap.
10th verse The text is one ofinterest
andthe manner in which he discoursed
from it engaged the attention of the
whole congregation, with but two or
three exceptions.
MusIcAL-Thc citizens of Bay View
and vicinity are becoming quite must
cal. An agent travelling through this
section, has been selling musical in
strument called Dulcimer Numbers
have been sold to various persons,
white and black, old and young, male
and female All parties seem to have
become greatly enamored of the new
machine. Old Folks at Home, Susan
ma and Yankee Doodle, may be heard
almost at every hotel, store and farm
house in the community. We have al
so one of Kentucky's noble sons of AZ
frican descent, who occasionally goes
round the ncighborhood and plays on
the violin, John Browns body lies
Wondering in the grave while his soul
goes marching on"
Observation-Disclosures how it is that
the North East itemizer never sees or
hears anything from the largest town
in the Fifth District, but of good NOR
ais; such as Religion, Temperance, Char
ity, Great Feats of Professors in Educa-
ton of Youth, Celebrations, &C., &c.
One might suppose from the glowing
accounts from the village, that it is a
perfect Paradise. Or as great Sena-
tor once said, fair Kentucky of
place. Now, Mr. Editor, while all the
above enumerated good deeds are very
praise worthy, and speak volumes for
the town of Churches, Halls of Tenn
perance, Public Schools and Acade-
lulCS, luc ANcIlu IIuSG correspondent
seems to have forgotten, or overlooked
the fact that the same borough is poses
sed of groceries, boosers, tale bearers,
pugilists and hypocrites.
IN A BAD FIx.-It is reported that
a certain young gentleman called, one
evening, a short time since, to see
neighbor, or perhaps neighbours daugh-
ter, when an animal of the canine
species, called Major, came forth fero-
ciously, and freed our young friend on
the fence, where he was compelled to
remain until the fair one came to his
assistance.
PEDEsTR1AN.--Ay young man in this
locality, a short time ago, was COM
PEELED to walk home from neighboring
village, distance of some two or three
miles, in consequence of his horse hay
ing broken the hitching rein. The
young gentleman might have been on
counting expedition.
