MARTINS FERRY.
ANOTHER month with it, joys and
cares, sunshiny and shady days have
passed, aud left the good people OF Mar Mar
tins Ferry with good health and fair
prospects for livelihood for the most
part. Seconds and minutes are said to be
the gold dust Of time, and happiness Is
the man who has rot allowed them to
run to waste.
Our glass house made extensive ship
ments last week, principally to St. Louis
and Terre Haute.
JAMES, the man that shot at warren
Moore one day last week, and was ar
rested for shooting with intent to Kill,
had hearing to-day but waived an ek-
animation, and was recognized to the

and battery on james, but was cleared,

SURLY people, and particularly surly
store-keepers, ought all to be Universal
lists, as it seems to us they come the near
est to getting their just deserts in this
world of any class Of people
we know. We saw lady
90 into dry goods store
to-day, and ask for an eighth of yard
of some kind of goods. The merchant
elevated hs nose ::sworc, and said it was
! a great deal of trouble to cut such small
articles, and remarked to the clerk so
she could hear plainly that if people had
no more than that to buy they had better
stay at home. The lady paid for the mr.
ticie, walked out Of the store into an
other, and bought several dollars worth
of goods, saying she would trade there
no more. SO good customer WAS lost
bv an uncivil word. 1t generally pays
in the long run to be polite, as it is an
old saying that it is better to make Il
friend than an enemy Of even day.
SEVERAL of our merchants are laying

NOTHING new in the police depart
