Nefghborhood News.

The Xenia Gazette of last week, says:
plan is in contemplation to build a
Reservoir at the head of Market Street, and
supply the city with water by means of
pipes. The fountain of water lately dis
covered is no doubt inexhaus tible, and the
project is a feasible one. The matter will
be laid before Council.
Last spring there were ten unoccupied
store-rooms in this city, but they are all
now taken.
Judge Pope has allowed number of the
Springfield Jail birds to depart on $500 bail
in each case. The law abiding citizens
are justly indignant.
Look out for Chicago dead beats. They
will be calling at dwellings, and relating
their pitiful stories Trust them not They
may be burglars in disguise, instead of an
gels.
The Leesburg Independent Press says
Stock Sales take place in that town on the
fourth Saturday of each month
The same paper says: 1--WE regret to
learn that a little son of Thomas Jeffs, ESQ.
of Clinton County, was very seriously, il
not fatally, injured on Saturday evening
last, by having wagon run over him. Mr.
Jeffs lives near Webster Chapel, about five
miles Northwest of this place"
The Press oflastw week says also:
On Tuesday last week, an awful deatH
occurred at Farmers Station, on the M. & C
Railroad. As the lightning train was ap
preaching from the West, two ladies at
tempted to cross the track, but were to,
tardy in their movements to elude the dan
ger. Mrs. Helmet, an old lady of sevent,
years was instantaneously crushed to death
and literally torn to pieces; while the Other
Mrs. kider, was seriously, if not fatal
injured. 1t is said that the skull of Mr..
Hemlet was carried nearly half a mile OH tn
