The question OF building secure aud
substantial leyces on the White and Wa
bash rivers. should be agiiai.d at once
by persons who are subject To The over
How from these rivers. both in this state
aud Illinois. Had the farmers along
these rivers been protected by suD-isn-
tial levees in this county. two millions
dollars would have been saved alone.
The leyee- that were built were not snf-
icient To project the farms. and many
OF the farmers were negligent in repair
ing them. thinking there was no danger.
This year however. they have learned q
lesson which they will hardly forget.
We have listened to m-nv gentlemen
who arc lsrgly Interested ia this ques-
tion. and they are all of the opinion
that something should be done towards
the consuininatinn of this object while
the matter j. fresh IN the minds of the
people. All with whom We have con-
versed are of nne mind. They favor =

A child Of Sam O'Connell, the milk
man, died Sunday evening Of scarlet te-
yer.
Joe Press got pretty badly used up, by
roughs, coming from the Catholic picnic,
at Cells Orchard, Saturday night. 1t
does seem us though when anything is
going on down there, that all the roughs
from this place, Bridgeport and Wheel
ing, meet there for the express purpose Of
settling old grudges and having a free
fight.
Lemanual Fentz, the colored, and when
drunk would be, pugilist, got too much
benzine aboard Saturday night and con-
cluded to settle up old grudges, and the
first man he ran against was - Scott,
boss mailer at the Ohio City Mill, and rs
Scott had at one time Cowhided his
(FentE's) sis.in.law for some misdemea-
nor while servant in his house, he would
settle with him first, and made pass or
two at Scott who by that time realized
that fight was what Fentz was bound to
have, fetched" him one on the head with
his cane which did not seem to satisfy
his antagonist, he dropped his cane and
planted a few we'll directed blows Of his
list in Fentz's face, when an officer APP
peared and arrested Fentz, and after he
was somewhat sobered up, Mayor Dean
required him to "shell out" 81 and costs
for being disorderly, but rs Mr., Scott had
only acted on the defensive he was allow
cd to depart in peace.
"May the Lord protect and save us
from any more shows or picniCs on Satur-

the remark ofan old citizen last Sunday

mark, for 1t did seem to us that II forty

was made, and not an officer to he found
