LOCAL BREVITLES.

Moses Sternberger is putting an additional
story upon his residence, on Main Street.
-Bin Ford is still in Jail. The authorities at
Longview Asylum refuse to accept him.
The base ball foolery is again raging in our
town.
Some excitement was created last week by
the bursting of a lamp in Good Templars Hail.
The nre was soon extinguished.
We notice large quantity of shingles at the
School House. We suppose that new roof is
to be put upon the building.
We noticed at church on last Sunday, Capt.
John Bennett, perhaps the oldest citizen in this
place. Mr.. Bennett must be eighty years of age
Wallace E. Bratton of Macarthur, who
worked in our office last fall, has enlisted in the
regular army.
We learn that Messrs. Noses Stern
berger and Peter Pickrel have purchased the old
Sternberger Block, corner of Main and Ports
mouth Streets.
Some ten days ago large drove of sheep
went through this place. 1t was exceedingly hot
and dry, and the dust was very annoying to
Them.
The weather was terribly hot until Friday,
when there were rains, with sharp lightning
and heavy thunder. This cooled the air some
what.
On Wednesday of last week, drove of cattle
was taken through this place. The cattle had
been bought in this county, and were being ta-
ken to Harrison county. They were oil worth
perhaps ten thousand dollars.
We noticed Prof. Andrews of the Geological
Corps, in town on Tuesday He Is now operating
In our county. Our citizens should give him all
the aid in their power, in the way of informa-
tion as to our mhnerals, such as ore coal, thedf-
ferent strata of limestone, and other rocks,
slatOS, etc. .H1f a...
On Saturday night Pete Becker got drunk
and got upon the rampage cursing and black
guarding upon the streets Marshal Rathburn
arrested him and took him before Mayor Con-
nelly, but that functionary was so utterly help
less from continued drunkenness, that Pete was
permitted to go hence without day. s
The Board ofNanagers Of the Jackson coun-
ty Agricultural Society held meeting ON last
Saturday, at the Treasurer's Office. They re-
vlsed the premium list, and fixed the time for
holding the county fair. 1t will be held on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September
2Sth, 10th, and 30th. Let the people of the coun-
ty bear in mind that the fair this year will con-
tinue three days. instead of two, as heretofore.
On Friday last, Walter C. Hood, editor and
publisher or the Marietta Times, spent an hour
in our office Every man who knows Hood per-
Bonally, likes him. Mr.. Hood informed us that
his wife Is in very poor health, and
he feels much solcitude about her condition.
Mrs Hood is a sister Of Hon. Ralph Leete of IRON
ton, and a sister OF Mrs. Chapman, mother of II.
L. Chapman Esq, of our town.
Mayor Connolly resigned on Monday night,
and ]. w. Laird was appointed in his place.
Another election will be held. The Democrats
will probably elect Connolly again, as they
knew just as well that he was drunkard when
they elected him in April, as they know it now
And they knew the same thing when they voted
for him last fall for Probate Judge and we do
not suppose that he lost sfSSle Democratic
vote in the county on that account
john L. Jones Esq. has handed us letter
from Hon. John I. Wilson, inclosing a commu-
nication from the Postoflice Department, Mr..
Jones had written to Mr. Wilson in reference to
the new mail route from this place to California,
Pike county Mr.. Wilson writes that he called
at the Department, and got q promise that the
route should be advertised at once, and the SER
vice be commenced the coming fall,
On last Thursday night young man from
the country, named Claar, who had taken too
much whisky, broke a glass in Washams win
dow: He and his brother were arrested and ta-
ken before Mayor Connolly. The Mayor
was drunk, as usual, and DR.. l. T. Monahan,
Irve DUNCAN, and other Democrats tried the
young men. Connolly fined one Of them ten
dollars, and the other one five, slthough one of
them had not done anything. Honahan remit
ted about one half of the fines 1t is said the
Mayor was much drunken than his prisoners
Some ten days ago we noticed posters about
town, announcing that on Thursday, June 3Oth,
a balloon of tremendous size would be sent up
from the fair ground in this place, and that
there would be velocipede performance, &C.
good many people came to town to see the
sights but the balloonist came not, but made
default Now we have only to say to the pco-
Pile in the country, that when they hear of any,
thing going to take place in town, let them look
in the STANDARD. Everything that Is not a
humbug, is generally advertised there.
"A woman who calls herself Mrs. Patrick, but
who is generally known by the name of Meach-
am, is in Jail on q charge of perjury. In the di-
Vorce case Of Foley VS. Foley, tried at the recent
term of our Court this woman was a witness,
and testified that she had caught Peter Plcltrel
and Mrs. Foley in the act of adultery, in the day
time, in the fore part of July last Mr.. Piclrel
testified that every word of 1t was false, and the
Court so held in deciding the case. Mrs. Kabish
Qato Mrs Foley, swears to the same thing, in
getting out the warrant.
