SPRING BREEzEs.-"Spring has come
was the startling announcement made IN
our first literary efforts Ana our MAJ,
dozen lines told Of blossoms, birds, and
buzzing bees, skipping lambs, &c II we
had spoken our own sentiments we would
have sung the praises OF plump little pigs,
for, although the skipping was well cx-
ecuted. we never could admire the great
awkward legs out OF all proportion 10 the
lambs thin little body, As the lamb
grew in grace and stature, he grew in
favor in our sight, but then he had be.
come sheep, and We didn't want to APP
pear sheepish, We had model for our
Compositions" and, like writers Of q
larger growth, We gave other peoples
opinions Instead Of our own. Spring
was to us then altogether lovely. 1t
meant one long play day in which
we could run, jump and make all
the noise We wanted to, and when
tired could lie down and rest on
the. fresh grass, and make panoramic
pictures in the leecy clouds. In that
Hairy land Of ours, work and worry were
unknown, and house cleaning was rare
fun. BroOms and mOps were mettlcsome
steeds and ladies' palfreys, and carpets,
stretched on poles, were wigwams, and we
a whole tribe Of whooping Indians. But
now, Spring has come to us in another
aspect, as many afrantic woman can GER
tiiy. Spring to her means business. But
where must she commence? She don't
know whether to work in the garden or
clean house. She has studied the Floral
Catalogues with one eye on the hole in
the carpet, and wondering which widths
to rip to make the thin place come under
the table, and where she could put the
patch to have it out Of sight; and in trying
10 make out which OF her Aower-seeds are
hardy, which perennial and which
annual, she has become distracted. She
wants to get her AOwer.beds fixed up, lOr
II il getting late, but the wind blows cold,
and She dare not let the children stay
out. 1t is high time to begin cleaning
house, too, but too cold to have the stoves
taken down. She wishes she knew II II
was going to rain, because, II il raincd
james promised to help her clean the eel
lar. Deluded woman after years Of cx'
perience, such faith is sublime. She con
cIudes If tomorrow is fair, she will com
mcncc cleaning up stairs, Tomorrow
becomes to-day, and no signs Of rain. She
asks James to carry down the beds, and
he says yes, he will, pretty soon, and goes
off and fOrgcts all about i, So she car
rics them out herself, and tugs and pull
at the bureau and bedstGads till she car
tell the exact location Of her spinal col
umn, although her knowledge OF physiol
ogy is very limited. She meant to have
had "him . help her move the things wher
abe got him up stairs, but she didn't Xix,
to ask him to do so many things at on,
time. However, she would have him
clean the carpet at noon. She must g
and get dinner now, for she" don't like {
'picEed up dinner" and hates house
cleaning, anyhow, and don't sec VIII!
women need to make such a fuss about it

Now that every little borough and

records at the Clerks office. may not be
out OF order. Ii the authenticity OF the
thing be doubted, We would suggest the
name Of Miss Susan b. Anthony, u maiden
lady, who is yet alive, as a reference in
regard to the subject. The thing must
have made some noise in the world at
the time, aAd she would probably have
heard OF it.

MARTINS FERRY ITEMs.-There was no
police court yesterday. Everything was
quiet on Saturday night so far As we
could learn.
Pease Township Sunday School Union
met on Sabbath afternoon in the First
Presbyterian Church, but as We were un-
able to attend we are unable to give full
proceedings; but We understand that it
was very interesting meeting and was
largely attended Addresses were made
by Rev. Reilly and Rev. Armstrong, OF
Wheeling, and by Vim. Alexander, of
bridgeport.
The remains OF Mr.. Hunter, 4 mailer
at the Ohio City Mill, who died on sun
day evening, were sent to Pittsburgh Tor
intermcnt on the II o'clock train yestcr-
day,
=. As the readers OF this paper will re-
member We stated sometime since that
the necessary stock had been subscribed
I Tor the organization OF National Bank
and that Board Of Directors had been
elected, the commission applied for, etc.
Our people have been anxiously inquir-
ing when the bank would be opened, and,
upon inquiring, we learned that the
Directors and stockholders had, owing to
the high price Of Government Securities
and the length Of time it would require
to get their circulation, and in view Of
the fact that great many National
Banks were surrendering their charters
as the better part Of tinancicring, that
this was not u propitious time to start a
National Bank, and after consultation
with the stockholders the Directors had
concluded not to open on the National
Bank plan, but instead to procure a char
ter from the State and open u private
bank, which they have done and have
adopted the name "Ohio City Bank"
A meeting ofAthc stockholders is called
for this afternoon At three o'clock to
elect new Board Of Directors, and for
the transaction Of such other business M
may bc necessary to be done, and it is ex.
peCted that the bank will be opened
tomorrow morning for the transaction
Of u regular banking business; and US the
law, governing banks OF this kind, makes
the stockholders equally liable with Ma
tiOnal Banks for deposits, depositOrs
have just the same security for their de-
posits that they would in National
Bank. We can't see why they shouldn't
have the same confidence, and ii in the
course Of time bonds should come down
: in price and the stockholders desire 1t OF
the events demand, It is an easy matter
to change to the National plan.
We are glad to see that our worthy
Marshal, Robert Hays, has bought out
the confectionery forlncrlyFnnb by Tommy
Stanton, and is reftting and rGiurnish
