WE sometimes wonder if it is not use
less to say anything more about those
bitches whose very sight almost makes
one sick. There are no steps taken for
their abatement and every thing goes on
lust ms though there was not one word
said about them. 1t seems impossible To
get a new idea into some peoples head
without II club. -
Mr.. RoEMER received the glassfor his
store front Yesterday, and they are very
fine ones too. Four Of them measure
four feet two inches across, by eleven
feet in height.
IT was suggested by some of our citi-
zens yesterday that there Should be some
system in regard to ringing fire alarms,
which are at present rang without regard
to the position of the fi,e, and sometimes
causes considerable confusion. The bell
should be rung so as to let the firemcn
know just where the fire is, ringing the
number of the ward. This would save
considerable time, as now the fremen are
often undecided in which direction to go.
THE "immorta" J. n. passed through
our city last evening on his way I"
Frcdericktown, Ohio. He looked happy
and can talk rs well us ever.
THE base ball club of this city had a
meeting last night IN the Baltimore "
Ohio Railroad depot, the purport and in
tent of said meeting being to raise sub
scriptions toward buying uniforms for the
club. This is all very nice i'll theory, but
practically we haven't the STAMPS.
However, we wish them success in get
ting the uniforms.
OxE of the councilmen is opposed to
the morket house He says it would be
best to have a certain place where all the
produce wagons, etc, could congregate,
and thus dispose of their goods.
This would certainly be very
nice on wet day, or when
the weather is real dry, to have the
sun porting down and the dust flying
over every thing; it would be very pleas
ant indeed. No sir, what We want Is a
market house in one of the most conve-
ncnt situations possible. The farmers
want it, and we have not as yet cncoun-
tered citizen of this place, excepting
that councilman, but who is strongly IN
favor of having it, and the sooner the
better.
THE gas filings in the Belmont Glass
works will be completed tonight.
Lone is long time coming around t"

Mr.. STEWART is making a dwelling .
house out of his wagon shop on Third
