.... DECEMBER l, 1874,
WE have been informed that the citi-
ems of Bellaire will be entertained by
the renowned and popular lecturer, Olivia
Logan, during the coming holidays. Our
friend and fellow citizen, P. S. Cowen,
ESQ.,, is at the head of this good move, and
has secured her promise to deliver a
series of lectures at that time. We have
also understood that Mr.. Cowen intends
to furnish our citizens with tirst-class en-
tertanments az Central Hall, from time
to time during the winter, having already
engaged number of popular stars for
that purpose, and if he undertakes it he
will put it through. We wish him album
dant success.
IT is gratifying to learn how lively all
| kinds of business is since the rise in the
river, all the different kinds of trade is
moving along as it has not moved for
months, and everyone seems cheerful
and in high hopes of good times during
| the winter.
No arrests were made yesterday. the
cool weather has cooled down the blood
so that everyone seems good natured, and
Belaire whiskey wouldn't warm the
blood of a gnat.
OUR manufacturing establishments are
all running on full time.
BUTTER and eggs are now plenty in
Belaire, and command good prices.
Butter thirty cents a pound, and egg
twcnty-eight cents dozen.
The street crossings are all right now.
You can cross anywhere you want to.
THERE is a screw loose somewhere, for
brother Naylor did not inform the read
crs of the Standard on Monday evening,

vices held at the different churches on
Sunday last.
WE are sorry to learn that Mr. Rich
ard Wallace died ut his residence, be-
tween Bcllairc and Netl'S Siding Oh last
Monday, and will be buried to-day. Mr..
Wallace was one of the oldest inhabit-
ants Of this county, and liked by all who
knew him.
OUR streets are perfect glare Of ice.
and il our City Council would compel by
an ordinance, every one to clean the
snow from the pavement in front of their
dwellings, it would be more commenda-
bic than that of spending night after
night in trying to pass in ordinance
to prohibit little boys from playing ball,
but for the credit of our city, we are
thunkful that but two members were in
favor of the last mentioned farce.
CONSTABLE RoDER left thi, city last
