Our City Council has its regular
monthly meeting tonight. We trust
something worthy of their time will en-
gage the attention of that very August
assembly! For instance, the market
house project might furnish them food for
speculation.
AUBURN wants to know what disease
is affecting us. Well, really we forget
its name, but the darned = thing was
brought on by reading his locals.
We have stopped off on them,
and began to feel better. Several other
people having been damaged the same
way, began taking a dose Of REGISTER
every. morning, and are now in a fair
way to recover. A grocer, used a copy
of the Intelligencer which contained some
Of "Auburn's" locals, to wrap up some
sugar, and the effect of those locals came
near killing whole family. A hog dove
into an Htelligencer in the street and was
Immediately cremated. Almost every
one you see down-hearted or sick, you
may bet your last dollar, have been read
ing "Auburn's" locals. ..,... .. .'

who gave our officers the slip in Shep-
pard's train Miller WAS in possession of

T. A CHILD about FIVE years Of age came
3near being crippled for life yesterday
morning, for while trying to pass in front
of moving dray it was knocked down
and the wheels passed over its legs, in
Turing them considerably, although no
bones were broken. There are SO many lit
tile children running around on our stteets
that we are surprised at not having
occasion to chronicle the death OF several
of them per week, caused by being run
over by passing vehicles.
Ii, is seldom we are necesstated to
| chronicle the incarceration of negro for
drunkenness, but We have one. Mr.. ID.

A FIGHTING and shooting affair took
place on the corner of Water street,
near the railroad bridge, Sunday night,
between ex-Marshal Ed. Owens and a
Young man working in one Of our glass

of Owens, an old grudge against yonng
Bonesteele, and Sunday night Owens en-
cOuntcred him at the above named place,
and after inquiring of Bonesteele if he
WAS one of the party who assisted in put
ting him out of a saloon in this city, and
on relieving an affirmative answer, struck
Bonesteele, knocking him down. Bones
teele then drew his revolver and fred
several times at Owens, none Of which,
however, struck him. Two of
our most noble police arriving
! L.. g.. cd
.teele, but failed to do likewise with Ow-
ems at that time, he defying them to do
it. Owens, however, WAS arrested yes
terday morning, and in trial before the
Mayor, they were each fined 50 and
costs. Subsequently Bonesteele had Ow-
ems arrested and taken before Squire
Powell, who imposed the sum of 50 on
Owens for his appearance in
court, IN default of which sum he was in
carcerated in the lookup, to be removed
to st. Clairsville to-day.

rests for drunkenness and other INSIDE
meanors have taken place: Geo. Merch,

King John Denning and Pat Clan, for
