YESTERDAY was quite stormy all day.
A VERY large delegation of our citi-
zens from Belaire, attended Court at St.
Clairsville yesterday.
MARTINS FERRY.
THE days pass slowly and quietly
along, and from Monday morning till
Saturday night but little occurs save the
ordinary routine of business. But the
average Mathis Ferryan is not one of
your ordinary, humdrum, settled, easy
/ going sort of fellow, and if he keeps his
energies for making things lively pent
I'D during the week, they but gather
force, and after he shuts down work on
Saturday afternoon, he then falls to and
makes night of it. Last Saturday night
was particularly liv9ly, and there was Il
sound of revclry on almost every street
corner. incidents connected with the
nights performances, both amusing and
distressing, are plenty; but one which
for total lack of principle and general
"cussedness" seems so much TO excel the
rest that we will let 1t suffice:
EARLY Saturday evening, William
Taylor, Hen. Sweeney and Robert
Hancc, conceived the brilliant idea of
taking little something for their stom-
ach's sake. This little something put
them in a remarkably good humor with
themselves and all things else, and they
started for 4Etnavilie, as happy as that
modest American daisy, known as the
sun flower. After they reached -Etna-
vile, they drank still more and about
II o'clock started up the railroad.
When near Martins Ferry Sweeney and
Hance being atfectionately inclined to-
ward TAYLOR, they threw their arms
around Taylor, and Sweeney thrust his
hand down into Taylor's pocket and took
therefrom pocketbook containing $50
Whereupon Taylor urged them to give
it back. but when they would not he
cried at the top of MS voice. which
was about five stories, and to such good
effect that Hancc and Sweeney feared he
would rouse all the living, if not the
dead, and Hance proposed that they
should kill Taylor, swearing with ter
rifle oaths. Taylor continued to swear,
however, and seeing there was no alterna-
but that somebody would come Hance
started up the street, wakened some Of
the authorities, and had Taylor arrested
for disturbing the peace, and received n
dollar and half for informing on him.
The pocket-book containing the fifty dol
lars Taylor claims still remains in
Sweeney's possession, and he is taking
active measures to-day for its recovery.
These are the facts as given us by Taylor.
WILLIAM TAYLOR was fined one dol
lar and costs to-day for disorderly con-
duct on Saturday night.
T. PARKER OF Wheeling was fined
two dollars and costs for using abusive
language toward Mrs. kcim.
THERE will be divine service held at
the Presbyterian Church on Thanksgiv-
ing. Rev Edwards, of the NJ. Z. Church,
will preach the sermon.
THANKSGIVING evening the Rev.
Weir will preach a temperance sermon
in the L. p Church. A general invita-
ton is extended.
HENRY SWEENEY has been arrested on
two charges, one of heing drunk on Sat
urday night and the other of being drunk
on Sunday.
OF all nuisances out We are most tor
mented with hogs, and were there moth
ing else in the world TO commend them
We would have respect for the Jewish
people because Of their hatred Of that
animal. 1t is almost impossible TO turn
a street corner without being run against
by one of them. They parade the streets
in droves, and stand ready whenever a
gate is left open TO enter and root up the
wards. We are great advocates OF pork,
but none at all of pigs, and unless they
can he kept where they belong il would
be best 20 annihilate the species. What
is the sense OF taxing dogs and shooting
them, unless the tax is paid? They are
something that snnoys no one. Why not
put a tax Of one dollar or more on every
hog allowed to run At large, and
make the owners also responsible for all
the damage done bv them? If
people will keep nuisances, let them pay
the price thereof.
PATTY" NEAL has just been arrested
and fined one dollar and costs for drunk
enness. Fatty, next to Johnny Lswless,
can .whoop up" more police cases than
any man in town.
WE Just saw an individual go up the
street so drunk that two men had to sup
port him. The best plan crusaders could
take would be 70 put an end TO the eI-
istence of q man as soon As he signs the
pledge, for that seems TO be about the
only way he could be made keep it.
