the turnpiltes between this place
and Circleyille, known as the River
Road.
The Police Of this city stand
politically-three Republicans and
two Democrats.
We learn from farmers that a
very large breadth Of oats has been
sown this spring-much larger than
usual.
The Improvement on the Made
ria House lot has been much en-
larged. Who says Chillicothe is
not growing?
1t is understood that DR.. Trim
BILE will make his permanent resi-
dencc at Aiken, Sonth Carolina.
1t is stated that while Mr.. En-
mitt was running his distilleries in
full blast he paid one fifteenth Of
all the tax paid on whisky in the
United States. Is not that d little
too big, neighbor?
The Wilmington Journal Of last
week says that Mayor Ent, assisted
by the newly.appointed city solicit
tor, Levi Mills, is making it lively
for the rum. sellers and beer mon
ger in town. During the two weeks
since they took hold of affairs, Jon.
ME Owns has had to dance to the
tune of $25 for keeping ale house
and IS for selling liquor on Sun
day. Messrs. Owen and Edward
Conuer were induced to kindly lend
the corporation $50, they too, had
been keeping an ale house. Henry
Getz became very liberal all at once
and forked over $25 for similar
offense. This looks like business.
Good We rejoice to hear that
the law is being executed in our
neighboring town. We think that
no body has occasion to complain
Of it, and nobody will but those
who wish to violate it.
The Ministerial Association of
Chillicothe District, Ohio Confer
cnce, will meet i'll NJ. E. Main street
Church, Chillicothe, Tuesday, May

The Circleville Dem, says the wo-
man suffrage movement in that
county seems to have petered
out"
j. A. Hawkes. 4 Co., bid upon
forty mail routes in Kansas, and
obtained twenty one contracts,
The jackson Standard says that
con dark, cloudy nights, the light
from the three furnaces in this
place is reflected from the clouds,
and renders most parts of the town
quite passable. We have thought
large rehectors might be elevated
above the furnaces, SO placed as to
throw the light upon the town. =
The intense heat Of the furnace
shines upon the clouds above with
great brilliancy. Might not this
light be economical and utilized ?
The Portsmouth Tribna of last
week says: "Persons whose trav-
els and observation enables them
to speak advisedly, say they never
saw the growing wheat look bet
ter than it does this spring in this
and adjoining counties.
The same paper says; There
never was a finer prospect for fruit
than at present in this section of
the State. The trees are loaded |
down with blossoms. If some
thing does not happen to injure
them, we will have one ofthe great
est fruit years ever known.
The London, Madison county,
Union of last week says: "It is
averred that a number of men en-
gagged in business here sell grocer
les and whisky as regularly and
freely on Sunday as any other day,
only they do it by the back door.
A sharp look out by the Marshal
'or these back doors will soon de-
ielope whether what is currently
be true or not.
Wonder whether anybody sells
whisky in Washington on Sun
lay?
The Union says also Our farm
rs report more sod being turned
,yer in this county this spring, by I
many hundreds Of acres, than ever
jefore. Universal activity per 9
AIDES the entire farming commu- E
.ity." +
