Orr friend John H Beam don care
whether it keeps on raining or clears up
He smiles when the sun shines and smiles
when the heavens weep; 1t matters out
little to him. for it is beauty OF giri
baby and he i, happy for rain or SHINE
he can play with the baby, and we hope
she may live to make equally glad his
heart when the twilight Of his life shall
come.
IT NAV sound paradoxical to say that
the wet weather dries things up, but 1t
dried ND the fishing party OF Mr. '.
Inst j ohm Hoofer and some Benwood
ror,ics, who intended starting yesterday.
D,n't be- cast down boys, We will have
good fishing weather by and by.
Ir looked very much like we were
,oing to have shower Of rain yesterday
evening.
WE are very sorry indeed to learn
that our esteemed friend and fellow citi-
zen Santo Mento, Is about to leave our
city, and take up his abode elscwcre.
Mr.. Mcnto has been engaged as cutter in
the merchant tailoring establishment OF
Evans Bros, for about two years and has
not only rendered the very best of salts
faction to the firm but to the hundreds
who have purchased clothing from them,
and will he sorely missed by our citizens,
for he il not only one of the finest artists
in the way of cutting clothing THAI has
ever been in our city, but clever Chris
tian gentleman And when long years
shall have come and gone and perhaps
many Others shall have been forgotten,
the names of Santo Menlo and his cs
Unable lady will be tendcrly spoken and
kindly remembered by hundreds of our
best citizens who have been III daily in
tercourse with them for more than two
wears; and while we regret their leaving
our city we wish them health and hap
pincss wherever fortune may lead them.
The celebration of the colored folks i'll
honor ofthc emancipation Of their race
from bondage passed off well here yes
tcrdav. Notwithstanding the wet weather
was very much against them. They
formed into procession ut Central Hall on
South Union street, about II o'clock in
the morning, and headed by the Stcu-
brnville colored cornet band, marched
through the principal streets of the city,
and back to the hail where
.hev were addressed by DIR.
Walker and Mr.. Bruce, Of Steubenvllle,
Ohio. Elder Jesse Hartgrave and others
The speeches were appropriate and well
received. The display upon the streets
was very fine. Two large flags and hun
drcds of small ones were carried in the
procession, and the very best of order and
good feeling prevailed. There were ad-
dresses again in the evening, at Central
Hall, and II festival Mt CITY Hall. Taking
the thing all through, il was very well
managed celebration, and reflects credit
upon the colorcd people of our city.
Mr.. DICK RICE was fined again yes
tcrdav by the Mayor, for using protanc
and abusive language to Mr.. Nj. Hullinan.
We presume if Mr.. Rice would do what
he should DO, and should have done long
ago, and That Is to quit boarding and
hanging around the house of Mrs. Halli-
nan when Mr. Mailman is not there,
there would he no trouble between them,
and he should this Tor >hamcs sake, if
nothing cisc: and If he don't do II
something should be done 10 maze
him do 1t, for has it come to
this that the domestic circle around
the hearth of home is no longer sacred
and that Il man canhot cntcrIts precincts
to carcSS hi, own child without being in
suited by hanger-ou? If 80 We are de
generating very fast. We have been in
formed that some legal measures are
about To- be- taken to bring this trouble 10
an end
WE had the pleasure Of being present
at an cr tc0,porc wedding on Sunday
evening, whereby Mr.. Willis ID. Austin
and Miss Sibba 4. Litticton were made
one flesh Our worthy Mayor tied the
knot, and We know it will stick. We
wish hi, young couple a long life and
happy one.
MARTINS FERRY.
PRoTRAcrEp raining and disagreeable
weather combined with bad whisky, are
powerful clements toward promoting
disturbance Of the peace. This Is eylnc-
ed from he frequent fights and disgrace
full rows that every day occur in the
presence OF the police authorities
and no efforts made to arrest
the law breakers. On Saturday
lat the boys adjourned to Cochran :
stable. Just east of the railroad track II
iavoritc and noted haunt for procuring
II f..t.I
street huwlsl and taking on board
cargo of bug juice, one Of their
number, jim Lyle trlt like
taking the town. He kept
on his mad career until he came across
one McGaycrn of West Wheeling. whc
after frequent insults gave him a sound
thra,hing. Not satisfied, however, he
short attcrwurd got into trouble with |
one Amot Reed, but with what result !
We did not hear.
YESTERDAY (Monday,) afternoon a
fight near the same delecta-
bic spot, "Cochran's Stable
between Bill Cloudy and another indivd- !
ual whose name We did not learn. The by !
ISLANDERS say if Goudy's opponent had not
been 50 drunk, he ,GoudyJ would have
been badly used up. The citizens are all
inccnscd because this state of things i,
permitted to prevail without proper cf.
forts hcirg made on the part of the au-
thoritrs to suppress it.
