been barren OF incidents Of general IN
terest, A spelling came of, in about the
usual manner; some OF the attendants aP-
pear to have enjoyed Themselves hugely,
Others not as much so. They are getting
rather stale, especially the special reports
OF some, seen in the papers one takes up,
The young ladies Of the N. Z, Church,
have had mush and milk festival, two
evenings Of the week past, which | am
told were successful and were to the young
folks at least nm enjoyable affair.
Some Of our morbidly curious citizens
are disappointed in not having an OPP
portunity TO see Strauder hanged; how
ever much he might deserve his
sentence it is hoped by the better selti-
ment ofthe country, that he may be I'M
prisoned for lie, or ut least We may
be spared the barbarOus spectacle oil his
public execution.
ACCIDENT TO A SEWING MACHINE MAN
The melting Of the snow the past few
days has filed every rivulet and creek to
Overlooking, On Friday last the most OF
the runs and creeks were the next thing
to impossible; the larger ones were really
dangerous On Friday q sewing machine
agent attempted to cross little McMechan's
creek, about mile from NCf's Siding,
when his horse and buggy were overturn-
ed. With difficulty the man and horse
were extricated; tho buggy was ruined
and the sewing machine totally lost. l
did not learn the mans name, but under
stand he was IN agent Of the Howe ma
chine.
ROADS AND BUSINESS.
As q consequence Of 80 much water and
tho thawing OF the earth the roads are in
fearful condition, causing almost IN en-
tire interruption OF travel, Few farmers
venture into town and they bring very
small loads. With better roads and good
weather we confidently look for liyelier
times, although Bellaire has had nothing
to complain Of particularly, Our facto-
ries arc all generally on full time with
no reduction OF wages, and all paid in
cash weekly. We feel that itmight have
been n great deal worse forus
THE SOUP HOUSE INVASION.
Tho institution Of soup houses in the
towns round about and here also, has
drawn to this part Of the country n large
number Of (so-Called) tramps, and the
sudden stopping OF supplies has had tho
effect OF diSgOrging them upon tho conf
munity at large, There Is scarcely
a house in town but what Is visited
daily by some Of the tramp per.
suasion, until they have become .
terror to timid housewives, Tho
wisdom Of the authorities questionable.
In our town, at least, they could by more
judiClous and humane management have
been made to earn all they got, and tho
community have been spared the inllic'
ton,
BUSINESS CHANGES.
Among tho business changes, or rather
tho changes OF situations, We note the ro.
mdval OF the news depot OF i. NJ.
Snively & Co. across the street.
They now occupy the corner formerly
occupied by Carter & King, under the
d, Il o. X. Il. depot. This establish:
ment, with one Of q similar kind
operated by Mr.. Naylor on Water street,

patrOnizetl, and they furnish slight
index to the intellectual tastes Of our
people,
Mr.. g. r. King will remove his dry
goods store to tic Muth Building on Din.
mOnd Corner, s. i. corner Of Third and
Belmont streets. Mr., King Is one Of our
successful merchants; untiring In his Of
forts TO supply tho needs Of the commit

pllslled gentleman, he deserves his mark.

THE RETIRING MINISTER OF THE NJ, e..
CHURCH.
Last evening, Sunday, l4th,) the Rev.
Rodgers preached his farewell sermon in
tho NJ. L. Church. A large and apprecia.
tive audience was In attendance; noticed
many Of other denominations out to hear
him. The services and sermon were i'm.
prcsaiye; at the close, the choir SING in
their best style, and that in their case

Mr.. Rodgers has in his three years so.
iOurn among us, earned and won golden
opinions, and general regret Is expressed

new charge.
SEVERAL THINGS.
Several deaths among the adult pOr.
ton Of our people have taken place In
the last week or two. They were mostly
chronic cases. Considering the change
able season We have had little sickness
among lis.
The past pleasant weather is bringing
our street crossings to q pasSable c0ndi-
dition, and pedestrians feel that they can
walk on Top of the ground once
more. But still our streets arc sight to
sec, resembling small lakes where they
are mostly travelled. l noticed well.
