THE B. & o. pay car passed through
our city yesterday and distributed good
amount of greenbacks, which made glad
the hearts of those who toll so patiently
dav BY day. 1t was grand sight to see
the sturdy band of laborers with brawny
hands and begrimmed faces, walk up to
receive the reward of their labors, with
the beads of honest toll standing out on
their brows, making a more beautiful
aClornment thon the comets Of Kings.
Our old friend, John Mccormick is
erecting fine dwelling house and store
room on Belmont street.
As we were passing down Water street
last evening, we observed couple OF
wavward sons Of Erin, with "drop too
much of the crater aboard who were
making sundry warlike demonstrations
and indulging in quite torrent OF cpl
thets toward each other; but just As they
seemed about to engage in the amusement
of quitting nose" Oh each other,
Officer Drugan made his appearance
around the corner, and both seeing that
we'll known knight of the mace, they mu-
tually agreed to a stampede, and lost
no time in showing that discretion is the
better part of valor, and in very few
moments the tranquil bosom Of the river
afforded them protection.
OUR manufacturing establishments are
turning out large amount OF work III
their several specialitieS, and find ready
demand for all they can supply. Their
,hipmcnts to all points are becoming
quite heavy rs the fall trade opens, and
bids fair to exceed their expectations.
ALL kinds of country produce meets
with ready sale, and always commands
good prices in this market.
THE amount Of freight and live stock
shipped from this point is immense, and
business in this line continues to IN
crease on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road; while the passenger travel has been
GOOD during the whole season. 1t too, Is
gaining. all of which indicates the stead
iiy increasing prosperity Of the road, and
betokens the good management OF the
present officials.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the seeming neg
lect of the officials whose duty 1t Is to
look after the sanitary affairs OF our city,
and the misstatcmentS of epidemics by
reckless reporters of Bellalre locals, who
seem to take no trouble to ascertain t0ctS
vet statistics show that our mOrtuary
report is less than that of any city or
town in the State in proportion to popu-
lation. Persons desiring II good location
in almos: any business, will do well to
note this fact, and we are satisfied they
will find Bellaire not only healthy, but
live and prosperous city.
An old man passed through our city
about noon yesterday, driving pair of
mules that was 50 poor that they looked
AS though one would have to throw a wet
blanket over them in order that they
might be- made to hold cut straw, and the
buggy looked like rs if it might have
been built 400 year, b. {. The old fcl-
low looked AS happy rs lark, and SAID
he had driven all the way from Kansas,
and was bound for the Keystone State
to visit some friends.
BUSINESs.-Our city was thronged
with teams all day Yesterday and bust
