1t was our good fortune to make
pleasant visit to this busy little town
few days since. Everything was as
lively az usual, and we venture to say
there is not noisier town Of it's size
any where than this same Eldon. Sit.
uated at the crossing Of two good
railroads, and being the end offs d.
vision Of one Of them, much railroad
business necessarily centers here.
On the afternoon OF our visit pic.
nic WAS held in the grove north OF the
town, gotten up by the Sabbath Schools
of Eldon and Ashland. 1t was we'll
attended by both old and young
They were favored with music by a
choir Of young ladies and gentlemen,
and by the Eldou hrAss band, which,
although ii has been practising but a
few days, discoursed some good music.
There were addresses by Revs. Hin,
Of Ashland, Myers, Of Agency City,
and Peter Mulvany, Of Eldon. Mr..
Enos Moore superintendent the exerci-
ses.
A pleasant call upon J. D. Baker
Il Son, J. F. Parkhurst. r. Mulvany
and others, showed that business was
lively in the city. In this part OF the
city we made the acquaintance OF the
gentlemanly proprietor Of the Eldon
House, Mr.. N. w. Mckee, who has
lately taken possession and garnished
up the old house. lie makes things
pleasant for those who stop with
him. just north Is the bloody butcher
boy, George Carrico, who furnishes
the raw material to the jolly citizens
OF Eldon, ct reasonable rates. Further
West We encountered that young
disciple of Esculapiue, Galen, or some
more modern pill.peddler, DIR. A. o.
Williams, who appears to be thriving
at his profession. Across the railroad
We got acquainted with Henry Ripley,
whose honest, puritanic countenance
Is sufficient guarantee to his custom
ers that he will sell them groceries
with down weight and small profit.
In the same building, customers want
ing the feet clad will do we'll to cali
upon honest old T. j. Lane, who, &C.
cording to scripture. esrus his bread
by the sweat Of his brow. A short
talk with DR.. r. W. Huston, revealed

clan, who will share the practice Of
that reliable physician DR.. Alverson.
Eidon reminds one Of prairie dog
town-no disrsspect- account Of
the irregularity Of iss streets, most Of
the business houses having both ends
on the streets, alleys being too marrow
for the movements Of such fast peo-
pie.
At X. & d. NJ. n. r. depot ws saw
the huge tooth lately exhumed near
Eldon. 1t 10 about the size OF brick
no Joking having the long edge set
In the jaw to the depth Of about two
inches, and being creased or futed on
the grinding surface with indentations
about an inch deep running crosswise.
From the part Of the jaw and the teeth
we saw, It 10 evident that the part con-
tanning the jaw teeth or molars could
not have been less than about two and
q halt feet in length. The jaw bone
then projected about . foot beyond
the jaw teeth.
We had our feelings shocked but
once on the trip, which was when .
man declared to ne that more beer was
sold in Eidon every day than 10 OF.
tumws. We rapidly explained the
facts to him and left him in his despair.
