On Sunday horse belonging to Mr..

guard, which, by the negligence of the
Company's employees had been allow

Mrs. Gen. b. R. Cowen arrived here
the fore part of last week, on a visit to

We noticed Sheriff Cochran and
Prosecuting Attorney Kennon, in town
on Monday.
The "Great Western Minstrels" f;l-
vored our city with their presence for
three or four nights last week. S. S.

During the total eclipse of the moon
Saturday night, a lonely individual
was observed ensconced with his back
against the pier of the bridge, gazing
upward at the sky, and busily engaged
in counting the moons on his finger
ends. He had got up as far as forty six
when we saw him.
A verdant youth from Wsgee was
going down Belmont street with some
town boys the other evening, when he
espied a cake in a confectionery vii =
dow. 1t was about four feet high anu
ornamented in the usual wedding style.
Quoth the youth: "Wnat is that"
Having been Informed, and duly given
vent to his astonishment and increduli-
ty. he at length insisted: "NOw you
don't mean to say it is good to eat!'

The game of base ball played at Cen
trail Square, last Saturday afternoon,
between the Bellaires and Clippers,
both of this city, resulted in score of 20
to 9 in favor of the Bellaire club. We
did not witness the game, but are told
that there was fine playing on both
sides. The Clippers have fitted up a
gymnasium in. Sheets Block for winter
quarters, and propose to come out next
spring the champion of the city.
A hand-organ and gorilla assembled
the numerous half-grown urchin last
Friday evening. An alarm of fire had
the same effect with the children of a
larger growth on Saturday. The alarm
was caused by a small fire in the Win

guished before the bell began to ring.
1t is believed that an incendiary made
an attempt to destroy the factory,
which was only frustrated by an oppor-
tune discovery of the fire.
A great deal of grading and paving
is going on in our town now; rs long as
it is persevered in, this is correct; put
there is no telling how soon we will
get weary in well doing. SNAP.
