LOCAL BREYfTIES,

We had heavy job last week, getting our
new presses up stairs. 5000 lbs, taken up a mar
row stairway to the third story is Job which
weare glad takes place only once in twenty years.
Daniel H. Lewis, of Cambria Furnace. is
probably the heaviest man in Jackson county.
Ho was accurately weighed at the Cincinnati
Fair this fall, and he weighed 324LS pounds We
have knewn Mr.. Lewis about twenty-five years.
and during all that time he has worked at his
trade, as blacksmith, and he has been growing
heavier during all that time.
The Alleghanians had pretty full house
here last week, and they rendered entire satis-
faction.
Mr. Chapman has got the basement room,
under the Bank, fitted up in fine style. 1t will
now make good business room. He is getting
the fine front for the Banking room made in
Portsmouth, and 1t will be put in during the
fore part of this month.
The STANDARD is this week printed on our
new press. We are using up some old quires of
paper of an inferior quality but after this week,
we will again use good paper. The new press
works beautifully. Our new type has been on
hand for some time. Next week we will use it,
ns we want to send the old type to Cincinnati.
All our new material for the enlargement of the
paper is on hand, and on the 9Th of January, as
we promised, the paper will come out enlarged,
and improved generally
MAJ. r. w. Caldwell took our new lob press
apart, and superintended and aided in getting it
up stairs, and then put 1t together all right. He
is not a printer, but he has an excellent knowl-
edge OF machinery.
We are under many obligations to those who
so generously aided us last week in getting our
presses up stairs. Among those who rendered
aid, we must return our thanks to VIM. Tripp,
Ben Trago, George Kimberly, Bob. McNeel,
Nottingham Claar, and several Others.
Last Sunday and Monday the weather was
again as beautiful as could be desired
Tho County Commissioners will meet in
regular session on Monday next

We have had SO much work to perform dur
ing the past week, that we have been compelled
to neglect the paper in some measure After
this we hope to give 1t our undivided attention.

In week or two, and we can do it just as well,
and little cheaper, than 1t can be done in the
cities. Do not be wheedled by the drummers,
and send to Cleveland or Springfield.
On Thursday last George w. Culp, of scioto
township, came to the mill of Bum, Davis &
Co., In a two horse wagon. He drove up to the
mill, and stepped in to get little assistance in
unloading his grain. The engine at that time
was started, when the horses became frightened
and started up Main Street ON the run. A great
many persons attempted to stop them, but all in
vain. They ran up Main to Portsmouth street.
then out on that street to the Portsmouth road,
and were not stopped until they reached Hun
singers, milea a half from town. They did
not inJure themselves, and only the tongue of
the wagon and the lines were broken. Mr. Culp
desires to express his thanks to the citizens of
the town who made efforts to stop them, and
especially to Sheriff Wade and Dept Ewing,
John French, Mrs. Hunslnger and Mrs Newell
who finally succeeded in getting them stopped
