free lecture at the Union Church,
this Monday evening, on the sub
ject of phrenology. Two of our
leading citizens can be seen most
of the time, with their heads out OF
the doors, or standing on the cor
ners, urging our people to give tie
Prof large audience. Curiosity
has been aroused to know what
motives these gentlemen can have
for taking suchan interest IN head
feeling.
The friends of George NJ. Jones,
a book keeper in one of the leading
business houses of Cincinnsti, are
glad to find him at home again,

Mrs. Mary Brag, wife of An
derson Brag, who settled in this
County, in 1880, died on Thursday
last, at the age of GA. and was
buried in Milton cemetery on Sat
urday- She was highly esteemed
by all who knew her, and her re-
mains were accompanied to their

J. NJ. Parkins is laying the
foundation for his new residence

Several members of the Loan &
Building Association, lately formed,
have, through the facilities it af

season.
F. NJ. Jones & Co, having aban-
doned the idea of farming, have

trail avenue, on which they intend
to erect, at once, q brick building.
in which to open a first class hard
ware and grocery store.
We will say to our Marshal, if he
has not got sand enough in his carw,
to tell the wooden Mill Company,
Jones d Gresh, j. Brown & Son,
Nudd & Booth, Frazee, and others,
to cease using their side walks as
ware rooms, in which to store their
daily arrivals of goods, he had
better telegraph the business
houses at Cincinnati not to ship
them 80 many. Even if their bus
mess has increased beyond their
calculation, it furnishes no reason
why ladies should be compelled to
walk in the streets or tear their
dresses as they pass along, or why
men should be stumbling, and fall
ing backwards, over the barrels and
boxes, at every little fight
We are informed that one of our
| citizens was seen at q late hour,
one night last week, wading the
river at the foot of Main street,
with something like a game bag
suspended from his shoulders. and
his boots and unmentionables
under his arms-The night was
cold, and the water colder, and he

imbibe something from that game
bag on reaching the shore. Re-

The temperance crusade fight, is
not only effecting the whisky, but
also the vinegar trade. One day
last week one of our citizens, who
has sometimes been suspected of
being an itemizer. took his big
black Jug and started for the groce-

his way up Central avenue he OBJ
served d half dozen or more ladies
