BELLAIRE LocALs.-Aiter the meeting
Saturday night Heatherington's string
band serenaded Capt Danford At the resi-
dence Of ]. w. Carroll, where the speaker
was entertained during his stay in the
city. After they had played a number Of
pieces, they were invited in to partake OF
refreshments, DR.. Junkins doing the hon
ors OF the occasion.
The town was full Of strangers Satur-
day evening, who had come to hear Dam
ford's speech, and improved the time
during which they had to wait in seeing
our little city.
It Is said that considerable portion Of
the expenses Of the Allen meeting last
week was for champagne. This is strange,
considering that the Governor never
drinks.
Some scoundrel turned the gas on Fri
day night at the speakers stands on the
public square, and the inhabitants Of the
neighborhood were spared the trouble Of
amounting themselves with petroleum in
order to protect themselves from the as
sauln Of the ubiquitous mosquito.
School commences to-day, and most OF
the children are glad Of it. Loa6ng is
about as hard work for them Us for their
elders.
The RsgiIlsr local evolved out Of his
inner consciousness that the cOlored cor
net band would excurtto Martins Ferry
and make a vain attempt to gather u
crowd for DanfOrd's meeting. Consider
ing that every inch OF available room on
the train which came from that place was
occupied, we can't credit that local for
penetrating foresight, That was about
on a par with his other "facts" though.
Two horses hilChed to a farm wagon
ran off on Gravel Hill Saturday, and
brought themselves up against post
without serious damage.
Dewitt Danford, ESQ., returned from
Chicago Saturday evening. 4,
The Wallace Cornet band have ordered
their uniforms from as handsome pat
tern as we ever saw,
We regret to hear Of the illness Of Har-
ry Norris, Of this place, at the residence
Of Captain Devries, ut Wheeling, and
we hope with q host Of his other friends
for his speedy recovery, Jas. a. Wells,
Of Cameron, takes his place at the B. q o.
depot while he is unable to discharge his
duties.
A buggy containing a young gentleman
and young lady was upset Saturday, and
the occupants elected. Fortunately the
lady was unhurt and the gentleman sus-
tanned but slight injuries.
Heatherington's brass band won high
encomiums from strangers in town Satur-
day night for the way they speeh.
A young cit went up into the country
to rusticate, last week, and while there,
at the invitation OF several young ladies,
went snipe.hunting, They have a peculiar
way Of hunting snipe up In the country.
One Of the party holds bag open, and
sets candle beside the opening, and then
the rest 60 out and scare up the snipes
and drive them into the bag, On this oc.
casion our young cit held the bag. He
stood It about two days, with the insects,
which were drawn by the light ieasting
upon him, and then thought he would go
up to the house, and when the party came
In with the snipe they would feel sold at
missing him. When he reached the house
and saw his companions in the hunt com.
fortably seated on the porch, 1t dawned
upon him that the sell was the other way.
Yesterday about 10 o'clock Officer Dru.
gan arrested man named Edward Kim
ney for being intoxicated, and he was
lodged In the lookup. When his dinner
was taken In to him he was discovered
lying on the floor with his head doubled
under him, dead. Drs. Junkins and
Kurz were called In, and gave as their
opinion that his death was caused by
apoplexy brought on by his fall while In
state Of intoxication,
