II. an III wind that blows nobody good,
so the drug men are rejoicing IN large
sales of Paris Green.
or1TE Il large meeting of Doctors is
axnec,ed here next Tuesday. From
What we know of the officers of this
society we are satisfied they mean bnsi-
ness.
WE notice hands at work taking out
timbers from the sunken barge of the
Ed. Hobbs. We understand they will
be used in building large platform at
the Ohio Glass Works.
LAST night and this morning, there
was and will be quite an exodus OF Demo.
crat, from here TO attend the Democrat
ic Convention, and hear Gen. Carey dis
cuss in his inlmitable manner, the issues
of the day.
A SOMEWHAT exciting trial was held
to-day before Squire Powell, in which
Samuel Corbit was charged with assault
ing Henry Lashley with intent to murder.
Not beng present we cannot give full
particulars. Corbit was held over to
Court in $500 for appearance.
The only persons we hear grumbling
in Bellaire are the doctors. They say
they have nothing to do. The very best
of health prevails here ut present.
SOME of the boys will make things
pretty warm for our policemen to-day,
but we think the gentlemen of the mace
will also make it hot for them if they
try any of their little games.
One of the pleasant features of our
place is the absence in the evenings OF
those numerous crowds OF boys on the
street corners, all owing to the vigilance
of our police officers. Much thanks.
YESTERDAY was an unusually brisk
one for our merchants, and we presume
to-day, us no one will be at home, will be
a correspondingly dull one.
We should be pleased to hear from
some one the exact date of Prof. Nell
ville's marriage. Can't some one furnish
statistics as regards this affair. Madame
Rumor might spread things on pretty
thick if were able to show up something
terrible about it.
Since writing the above We are inform
ed of the union, last night, between two
hearts that beat n one, or at least should,
the principal actors being Prof Melville
and Miss Montgomery, of this place.
This drama was enacted at the residence
of the brides father. Miss Montgomery
is mere child, and will be, we presume,
a student of the profession in our public
school. We wish them Joy unalloyed.
BELLAIRE can now boast of some as
fine street crossings as can be found this
side OF the golden streets Of the New
Jerusalem. Many appreciative remarks
are made by our citizens in regard to
them.
TO-DAY one year ago great many
little boys lost Il few fingers, an eye, II
part of an arm, or something OF that sort,
and one year hence many little boys
will look back on to-day's work and
leave sigh.
CRoQUET. although not So extensively
played aS last year in our city, never
theiess has its devotees, who spend about
all their leisure time at this game, but oh
how much human nature is shown by
some of the players to move their ball
in Just little better position, when their
opponents are not watching. We know
how il j. Ourse.i.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company are laying new platform at
the passenger depot of this place, an inl-
prOyemrnt that is Il laudable one and for
which the company will receive the
thanks of the public.
THE NJ. +. Sunday Schools of this
city hold their picnic to-day in the grove
on the hill above Bellaire. Plenty of
water and refreshments will be on hand,
and pleasant time will no doubt be en-
joyed.
A NUMBER of our people will be
absent to day attending the pic-nics at
Lewis Mills, Burrs' Mills and the Demo
cratic Convention at Evansville.
TIE Bellaire and Southwestern Rail
way project, which created such an
amount of interest this spring, has
developed the fact that the proposed road
i considered matter Of much impor-
tance to the interests Of our
city and to the portion OF
the country through which it passes
The road Is only question Of time, and
the matter is now in proper shape for
practical and speedy work to get it in
operation. Owing to the season being
so far advanced by the time the prelimi-
nary arrangements were completed, fur
ther movements have been laid over un-
til, when the matter will be pushed to
completion.
OWING to the absence of some of our
city fathers and the resignation of others,
the Council meeting has gone up for
this week.
