OFFICER Dugan received telegram
from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, yesterday morn

man BY the name of Rush, if found in the
CITY. Rush was found and the arrest
made. At the time of the arrest there
was lady with Rush who claimed to be
his wife. and said they were married

vile to-day.
WE visited our public schools yester-
day afternoon, and had the pleasure of
listening to some recitatatiOns of quite a
number of the scholars in reading and
music, which was very entertaining, in
deed. Quite number of visitors were
present, and at the close of the exercises,
some appropriate remarks were made by
Rev. Spencer, Rev. Castor, Gen. HOgc,
Attorney Reese and Prof Melville. The
Professor has won for himself lasting
hOnOrs from the people Of Bellaire, for
his good government within the walls,
but we think our School Board mi gh,
have done much more than they have
done to help him along.

Town Council tonight.

Saturday evening and took lodgings and
breakfast ut Mrs. MitchcrS, and went of
and forget to pay their bill. They were
colorcd troops and should settle up with
this poor woman ut once, and II they
don't do it we will give their names.
MARTINS FERRY.
THE day is cold, bat clear and bright,
and as we look across the fields white and
brown hak"S seem scattered over them,
as the ground breaks through the snow
Nav the earth be covered with Il white
shrowd as the old year departs, for there
is truth in the old saying: "a green
Christmas makes fat church yard"
WE hear of many cases of sickness
through the town. Children are suffer,
ing from diphtherla and whooping cough
while almost all old people arc complain
| inc of weakness and debility.
As Christmas draws near we see eager,
wishiul little faces pccring into every
store window, and we sometimes wish
that our power for once could be more
than human; that every child could be
made happy. Christmas is the chill
drcn's dav, and all should, for once, try
to make the little ones happy. 1t will
take little, a cheerful looking look on the
older faces toy ora paper of candy,
AMI every child should have it. MiScr-
able is he VINO never had II happy child
hood and in after life those happy home
| davs come back like strains of music or II
warm, pure atmosphere and make the
whole man better and purer. See to it,
parent. that your children can refer to
Christmas of 1874, not only rs the birth
day of their Savioa, but rs a day of pleas
ant bone memories, when peace on
earth good will to men seemed the
thought and act of every one.
MARTINS FERRY will send n goodly
Z ,,gh nr al

TEACHERS examination will be held
on Thursday and Friday of next week,
after the Institute in Bcllaire and all in

the trouble of going to st. Clairsvillc

Mr.. CLARK LYNN was fined ten dol
lars and costs to-day for being drunk.
We have not been able to gain full par
ticulars, but think it must have been
some kind of heightened drunk, and the
plain drunk costs but one dollar.

are three weddings billed for the holt
DAYS, and we know two persons who are
making all efforts possible to procure
divorces. So goes the world. In money
matters, enough is always just a little
more that people have, and happiness
seems to be phantom mounted on a feet
horse. which has just one days start of
human beings in pursuit of it, and keeps
ever in sight hut can never be reached.
MosT of the manufactures will be
