A HUGE ONE-Last night James D.
Zane, Esq, presented US with an apple,
which, We think, is the largest we ever
saw. 1t measures thirteen and half
inches both around it's centre and across
from the stem around to the bud, maxi
ing about as much apple as go weakly an
individual ss ourself should care to
tackle. 1t is perfect in appearance and
shape. We shan't do with it what he
told US to. Not by no means. Two
such apples would make apple dump
lings enough for a first-class boarding
house.

"SoUAw WINTER. We are now
passing through that unpleasant sea.
SOD, called by the Western people
when we were a boy, "Squaw Winter"
Immediately after it comes that enjoy
able season known as Indian Summer,
enjoyed by no other land but ours. 1t
is season of delicious languor, when
nature, seen through hazy veil, looks
more beautiful than ever, and when
mankind seems to take in delight with
every breath. Let it come, and quick
ly. Anything to beat" this unpleasant
weather.

WRONGLY STATED.-In our report of
the case Of assault and battery between
Mrs. Kiger and Miss Fordyce, before
Squire Johnston, on Saturday last, We
got the facts wrong side up. 1t was
Miss Fordyce who was assaulted and
not Mrs. Kiger. and it was Mrs. Kiger
and not Miss Fordyce who was bound
over to answer the charge OF assault
and battery. With these "few and I'M
important" corrections the report is all
right.

THE LARaHsT STOCK OF
Mems and Boys 0Vercoats


cases on the Police decker was larger
than for any day during the year, not
less than fifteen cases appearing. A
singular phase Of the matter was that
every man of them was fined and every
one was anxious that his name should
not appear in the papers 1t seems to
us that people have got q wrong idea
of this subject. They seem to think
that it is no disgrace to get drunk and
90 to sleep on the sidewalk; get into a
fight or be very disorderly in their con-
duct; sleep in the calaboose all night
and appear before a large crowd of peo-
pie in the Police Court the next morn
ing. These things are all right. The
disgrace they think comes where their
names appear in the Police report, and
they are MORALLY offended after ruptur-
ing every ordinance, if anything be said
about it.
Louis Meyers was picked up Sunday
night, on the steps of = private resi-
dence in Centre Wheeling, profoundly

thereby pecking a hole in his face.
Coyle was fined $40 and costs.
John Hanes and Matthew Fleming
got into a fight at Eckhart's saloon,
North Wheeling, on Saturday night.
Nobody seemed to know how it COM
menced or what twas all about. They
were fined S. and costs each.
Frank 10y went into Carl Gaudings
saloon, just after midnight, on Sunday
morning. He was pretty full when he
went in, and because Gauding, who says
he let him have drink to get rid Of
him, wouldn't let him 60 in the back
room, he became disorderly and was
put out of the place. Fined 81 and
costs.
Carl Gauding for selling liquor to
Frank 10y on Sunday, as stated above,
was fined $40 and costs.

urday night Robert Mckinley, George
