BELLAIRE.

BELLAIRE.
WE were at the B. Il 0. Railroad de-
pot yesterday evening, and as the 4;2o
train bound West was leaving, young
man who had been standing around for
half an hour, made an attempt to get
aboard, but was prevented by Policeman
Roder. The train halted, however and
greeny got on. If persons will persist in
standing around gaping with their
mouths wide open, until after the train is
in motion, they should be made to wait
until the next train.
Our citizens were surprised about 4
o'clock Thursday afternoon, by the APP
pearance of six stalwart men on our
streets, dressed in the costume OF sheath
en- Chimes They marched down Sec
ond street to Water, thence up Water
to Third street, thence up Third to Bel
mont street. and thence up Belmont
street to the public square followed by
large crowd of men and boys, which grew
larger and larger at every step, so that
when they arrived at the point above
mentioned, they were surrounded by
hundreds of people, and many We're APP
preaching in>wagons, buggies, on horse
back and on foot. The noble six show
men Immediately began to turn sommer-
saults, hand springs, &c, when the ex-
citement became intense in anticipation
of some wonderful feat about TO be per-
formed. One of the showmen stright-
ened up and informed the crowd that
they were dead broke and wanted
aid and that ended the show, an in
Simultaneous stampede took place, and
the showmen were all left alone in their
glory.
REV. WALLACE, of the L. p. Church
of this city, delivered sermon in the VI.
Z. Church Thanksgiving morning, and
in the course of his remarks, said: ''The
Lord freed the negroes and brought
about the time when they can sit in the
same school with the whites, and We
ought to thank Him for it, He had
better wait and see whether the negroes
! get into the white schools. We do not
know what the Lord thinks about the
matter, but We do know that the people
of this country said by their votes at the
elections this fall, that they didn't want
them there, so that we might say with
the same degree of pfopricty that the
Lord brought about the late Democratic
victories, and We think he did in order
that IN oppressed people might not
longer be degraded and dragged down
by the corrupt and disgraceiul acts Of
the present administration. If ministers
of the gospel would preach Christ and
Him Cruciticd, instead of dishing out to
their hearers political harrangur it
would be much better for the cause of
religion.
A LARGE quantity of black diamonds
passed down the river yesterday.
No ARRESTS were made in the city
yesterday Everyone seemed to be
engaged in attending to their own bust
ness, and we would advise them to con-
tinue to do So.
THE h,teiiigcnccrS Bcllaire local must
have taken "ducky' in his'n on Thanks
giving day, Judging from the way he
quotes poetry. Yesterday he was heard
to say as he was passing down Belmont
| street:
| Maid Ofmy soul, Star-eycd and sweet!
| Here let me kneel, here at your feet.
&. w. GOULD, Of Washington Court
House, was in the city on Thursday.
Mr.. Gould is talking of buying the Conn
merciak Office of this city.
EsTERDAY WAS most charming day,
everybody seemed to have enjoyed
Thanksgiving day to the full extent, and
We're CHEEKY and doing business ahead at
n lively rate.
QUITE a large number of ladies and
gentlemen assembled at the Globe House
on Thanksgiving evening and stripped
! the light fantastic toe until after mid
night. Our friend Zeke and his amiable
wife, made all feel happy, with their kind
words of welcome and unbounded hospi-
tality. All who were present will often
look back to the evening Of November
20, 1874, rs one of the most enjoyable
| evenings of their life.
