MARTINS FERRY.
"MAN's days are short and full of
trouble" Yea verify, and woman's too.
"He cometh up as flower" and great
wonder it is that he is not bothered to
death by patent right men before his
prime. Once in while we think to
have a moment in which, not to mediate
or commune with ourselves but, after
the fashion of womanhood, to devise
methods of fixing over our old clothes,
but woe is us. The milkman comes, the
vegetable man comes, \ woman comes
! with dress patterns, and man comes
with a patent pie litter, then ped
| Ter comes, and when We remark that We
don't want anything, he insists 50 hard
on our looking at his beautiful stock that
We think ii it will be any comfort to
| him we will look, so he shows Us every
thing in his pack, and we
compliment him on his good selection
and remark We are sorry we are not in
need of anything to-day; when he looks
| at lis like cloud filled with tOrkcd
! lightning, and growls that it is a pretty
way to take mans tine, and have him
haul over his goods for nothing We are
no lady-hcre we swiftly closed the front
door between us, and had got half way
up the stairs, when such rapping IL
was commenced at the front door never
was before imagined. We rushed fran
tically t. open ii. There stood II middle
aged man, who pulled II bottle of yellow
stuff from some Of his pockets and bran
dlshcd it in our face.
Here, madam, is the great invention
of the nineteenth century; my cement

"Crockcry, furniture; glass, jcwclry, -

"DOnt want any.
"Good for scalds, burns, cuts and
bruises
"Don't want any
Cures coughs colds, itch, corns, warts
and bunions.'
my dear sir, we have none of thoS"
things and our time is too precious 10
spend talking
"GOod for
We close the door half to
"Can have one for iitrrn'crnts.'
We close it an inch further
"Givc YOU one.
Here the point where our furbcarancc
ceases WAS reached, and We opened the
door and told that old man if he didn't
get We would set the dog on him or call
the police, but to the best of our knuwl-
edge We are willing to swear the old vii
lian went off muttcring that the stun
was good to eat on bread and butter.
The BcnwoOd Iron works have for
the last six or eight days, run oil on IN
average thirty tons of iron per day, the
furnace working better than ever before
IT may be- of interest to those unac-
quaintrd with the production of iron, Ia
know that for every ton of pig iron man
uiactured, II ton of limestone. II ton and
a half of iron ore are used, besides GIN
drrs more or less according 10 the quality
"f tn" iron.
As winter is approaching, when the
DAYS are short. and it requires great rt-
fort to get children to Sabbath School nj
nine o'clock sabbath mornings, why
would it not be n good idea t" have Sab
bath School in tn" afternoon. W" pre-
dict .that half of many more scholars,
would attend.
The work of paving the streets moves
on slowly, and tn" most of Water street
is in pretty good condition, if it were
only cleaned.
SEVERAL new grind>tonrs have been
received. and II number of new nal ma
chimes will be put in the Obi" City Nail
Mill in a short time.
CAPTAIN INGLEBRIGHT deserves credit
for the good condition in which he keeps
his ferry boat, and also for the
rooms h. has had put up on each wharf
for the accommodation of waiting pas
-cnT"rS.
Nnw is the time for people to cut down
all weeds in their yards. rak" them up
clean and destroy rubbish of all kind.
Ii j. much easier done now than in the
spring. and then they will be all read Y
to commence planting flowers or shrub,
or making garden.
