PEBBLES.

If there is any place in this world
where man should desire to appear to
the best advantage, that place is in the
presence of his own family. Let him al
ways be neat, and clean, and gentlemanly
there. We have often been disgusted
with the man who would always be shah
by in the presence of his wife. Face
dirty, beard half an inch long, and boots
covered with mud or dust. Should his
wife die, in less than three months you
will see him sell his last COW in order to
| buy broad-cloth coat, plug hat and
pair of new boots. His face will be
smoothly shaven. and he will be seen at
church. gazing at the widows, old maids,
and even the young girls. Such men
should be avoided by all refined women.
Old H was pious man. He some
times tried to preach He had a wife
and children. He had one boy, some
six years of age, whose mother was not
his own wife. The mother of this boy
desired H to take the boy into his
family. The little boy had a dog, to
which he was much attached. The wife |
of H said she would permit the boy |
to be taken into the family, but she OBJ
Jected to the dog. The old man turned
up the whites of his eyes, stretched forth
his hands, and in solemn voice and
scriptural phrase exclaimed: ."Wherever
the little boy goeth, there let his dog go
too, also; for cussed is any one who
parteth the little boy and his dog" That
settled the matter, and both the little
boy and his dog became members of the
family henceforth.
1t would scarcely be credited now, if
we would relate some of the actual facts
in reference to the poverty of many of
the first settlers OF this county. All the
people now have comfortable, if not fine :
houses. We can remember when a good
many people had no floors in their cabins,
and lived on the bare ground. 1t would s
become very hard and smooth, and when
swept, was not so bad floor after all. !
We knew two families from West Vir-
ginia, named Grimit. The men were q
brothers. John Grimit and Greenberry /
Irimit For some time after they came i
10 Jefferson township, they had no +
house, and camped out. They had q
canoe turned bottom up, and at night r
,rawled under it to sleep, and thus kept c
Try when it rained. !

Court of Common Pleas.

Judge Hebard of Gallipolis arrived or
Sunday evening. and opened Court on
Monday morning. A special docket had
been made out. including the cases in
which Judge DuHadway had formerly
been counsel. This special docket was
called, after which the Grand Jurors
were called, and thirteen came forward.
Jacob Martin asked to be excused, on
account of a sick child. Excused. An
drew McMillin handed the Judge a
written request to be excused. The
Judge excused him, but he did not state
upon what ground. After the train
came in, one more of the regular jurors
appeared, and the Jury was then filled
up, and John w. Hays was sworn as
Foreman. The Jury consists of the fol-
lowing persons: John W. Hays, A J.
Cummins, John Johnston, Robert SWa-
ney, John j. Jones, John L. Jones, John
CLAIR, Samuel L. Hull, Henry Olendorf
Jonathan Davis, w. S. Sehellenger,
Abram Ward, Robert Perry, David Kel-
Ter and VIM. Hilligas
The Grand Jury was then charged.
We must say, without any invidious COM
parisons with former Judges, that the
charge was the ablest, most concise and
impressive, that we have heard for years.
We have not space to give the charge at
length. The Statutes required to be spe-
cially given in charge were referred to.
The great Importance of the Grand Jury
doing its whole duty was urged. If
Grand Juries fail, from any cause, to act |
honestly, fearlessly and diligently, there
is no feeling of security or safety either |
to life or property. Vice, immortality |
and crime will increase. There has been
a wide spread misunderstanding on the
part of Grand Jurors in one particular.
The Grand Jury is strictly a secret tribu-
nal and nothing which occurs in the
jury room should ever be revealed, unless
upon the witness stand, in court of JUS
tice, when called upon This applies to
the testimony of witnesses, the opinion
Of jurors, the counsel of the Prosecuting
fact, everything which oc-
ours in the jury room, and this holds
good in all future time.
In the afternoon the case of Edgar J.

There was an interesting

There was an interesting road meet
ing at the Court House on last Saturda,
night. DR.. J. W Laird was chairman
and G. w. Cavett Secretary. Mr.. Cayet
did not write out the proceedings, and i
is best so, for part of them had better
not be published Some bad feeling wai
manifested.
The committee on right of way report
ed some three or four cases where the
law would have to be enforced to con
denim the land, and secure the right oi
way under the statute
The soliciting committee reported
81 500 additional subscriptions during
the week, but they also reported that
there had been big mistake made in
the footings, and that there yet remains
So, 800 to be raised.
Mr.. Chapman submitted proposition
for the stockholders to sign, authorizing
the directors to commence operations
before the full sum of 100000 be sub
scribed. To this there were objections,
as it was argued that the road ought not
Chapman said that the books showed
that the full amount had been subscrib-
ed but that there were some conditional
subscriptions, and some that could not
be relied upon. The following is the
heading to each subscription book in this
countys
We, whose names are hereunto signed, agree
- -
respective names of Fifty Dollars, each share to
the Capital Stock of the Springfield, Jackson
and Pomeroy Railroad Company; and we here
by bind ourselves our heirs and executors, or
to pay the same to the author
lied agent of said company, in such INSTALL
ments as may from time to time be required by
the Directors of said company, under the pro-
visions of the Charter of said company, and the
laws governing the same.
Proufded, And these subscriptions made
upon the express conditions that they shall not
be binding until the aggregate sum of Eight
Hundred Thousand Dollars $500 900 in bona Jide
shall have been made to the Cap
ital Stock of said company, between Spring
field, in Clarke county, Ohio, and jackson e. |
H., Ohio; and no contracts for the construction |
Of said railroad, east of jackson, shall be made
until the building of said railroad from Spring
field to Jackson, is assured.
ProUided, A Also; that assessments shall not at |
any time exceed ten per centum of a subscrip |
lion every sixty days.
A question arose as to the meaning of
bona tide, some claiming that it did not
mean that the subscribers should all be
others that it did. 1t was
admitted that there might be three or
our thousand dollars subscribed that
never will be paid. Our opinion is that
iuch subscriptions should be stricken
rom the books and that no stockholder
AN be compelled to pay if any part of
he 100000 subscribed is not such as a
prudent business man, acquainted with
he parties, would be willing to guaran-
zee.

We believe the crisis has arrived in the
history of our railroad enterprise, and
that the next two weeks will decide its
fate. If some four or five thousand dol
lars of good subscriptions be made in our
county at once, the matter will be In a
good shape. 1t will not do to say that
those who do not want to commence
without means to go through, are oppos-
ing the road They are its best friends.
To commence building house without
counting the cost, or to commence MAX

brings the projectors into contempt and
disgrace. a
