The taking OF deposit,ons in the case
of VIM. Rsiney, Esq, VS.. Union Iron
Company of Cleveland, during two days
of this week has called out Il good deal OF
interest. More evidence is to be taken
next week. One of the lawyers engaged
in the defense and the plaintiff came
near having a hand to hand fight during
the examination, which made the interest
quite lively for while. No officers of
course near to make any arrests.
MISTAKES will happen, sc. AZ an
evidence OF this, Mondays ROOSTER
made me say, "The Fire Company gave
an entertainment, &C." instead Of The
Fry Company, &C." A fire company we
don't have, and don't expect to have un-
til our citizens and town authorities are
awakened to the importance of having
such company by fire sweeping away
thousands OF dollars worth of property.
The prospects for new building going
up this summer is better than last, in this
town.
The business rooms Of Wallace Bros,
on Hanover street, will soon be under
roof. 1t will be one Of the best buildings
of the kind in the town. The third story

The embarrassed condition of the

TO overcome the present embarrassment.
There are various rumors afioat in regard
TO Il. but the statement in Thursdays
REGISTER is considered mainly correct.
The Ohio City is certainly one of the best
sites for a mill in the country, having
good facilities fo' shipping and the coal
near at hand and costing but trihle TO
have it placed in tho mill.
A SHOOTING atlray took place on
Glcns Run, two mile from town. 1t
seems that one VIM. Colvin on his way
home. went into Samuel McConneIfs
grounds AID began quarrelling with
Mcdonnell, aud finally shot at him, but
failed to hit him, when Mcconnell drew
his revolver and shot Colvin three times,
striking him once in the forehead, the
ball following tho bone around and
coming out behind the ear,
and in the breast. and once
in the wrist, the ball passing
up the arm. After the shooting McCon-
nell came to town and lodged complaint
against Colvin, but he was too badly IN
iured to be brought TO town. From what
we could learn, the wourds are not con-
sidered dangerous Colvin was said to
be under the influence Of liquor.
MCCONNELL, who shot Colvin, was to
have bad hearing before Squire Buck
ingham to-day, but on account OF the alb
sence of some OF the witnesses, was post.
