sfhe excitement over the location Of

here yesterday. and up to the time of
this writing we were unable to learn any
definite action taken by the. Board OF
Directors as to what route they would

The poetical announcement of Bris-
tow and Wheeler in the Independent OF
this city, this week, is something new in
this country, and we would advise our
fellow-citizen, Mr.. Cole, to see if he can't
get Longley to advertise Coles corn
salve the same way.
WE suppose Bristow and Wheeler will
be candidates for President and Vice
President, as brother longley of theSI
dependent has placed their names at the
head of his columns, and that settles the
matter beyond doubt, as the New York
Times, Tribune and all the other leading
Republican papers Of the nation will
surely not dare to go against the Bellaire
Independent .i t.r
IT would be hard to throw stone in
this city without being in danger of hit
ting a candidate for sheriff.
Book beer will be the order of the day,
to day and tomorrow.
A CAR load of Russians passed through
this city yesterday, uia the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. They were bound for
the unpeopled fields Of the far West.
Rev. J. &. ScHAFFER, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, has rendered his resignation to
that congregation.
The Republicans are to have meet.
ing at City Hall tomorrow night, IN the
interest oil Bristow for President.
The City Council, we understand, are
about to turn City Hall into Mayors
office, &c. This would be most reckless
thing, and against the wishes Of nine
tenths OF our citizens. The hall rent
amounted to over $500 last year, and
there is no use throwing that amount
away this year, when our city is so much
in debt and taxes so high.
MARTINS FERRY.
The concert given Monday evening in
the M. Z. Church by the Jubilee singers
was but slimly attended.
There is to be pound festival in Com.
mercial Hall this evening for the benefit
of the M. Z. Sabbath School. This will
be something new 10 tho Ferry, and from
efforts being made will be a very enjoya-
BILE affair. All who love fun should be
sure to come.
The proprietor of the Sherman House
has begun preparations towards raising
his hotel some FIVE or six feet, which
will, when finished, add very much &c
the appearance and convenience of the
house.
THERE are great many people very
anxious for Council to have the pumps
fixed, as some of them have to carry
water for cooking quarter of mile oil
more. Martins Ferry is noted for hav-
ing the poorest water arrangements OF
any town OF its size in the country.
Your correspondent of Bridgeport
will find il he examines his geography
that Rio Janerio is in South America in
stead of South frica
WE second the motion of the Ohio
Valley Neps to have a Fourth of July
celebration, not by Sunday school sec.
tions or seets, but by union of people,
and we add an amendment to have the
arrangements for such a celebration be-
gun early. Let a meeting be called soon
to take initiatory steps.
MEETING OF the Ohio City Mill men
was held yesterday morning, and COM
mittee was appointed to confer with Ross
J. Alexander, Esq, assignee, and make
an arrangement to lease the mill, said
committee to report at a future meeting
q. B. Burrows was appointei said COM
mittee. 1t is to be hoped that some ar
rangenent can soon be made by which
the mill can be put in operation again
before long.
THE last method we have heard of to
make balky horse go, WAS a hot fire
underneath him, but that failed with this
one.

illness, on the morning of the 25th, in
his 9Th year. He was highly esteemed
as an upright man, and had been cit
izen of Martins Ferry for nearly forty
years.
