BELLAIRE.


BELLAIRE has long been noted for Its
progress, and justly deserves the enco
NUNS it has received for the gigantic
strides it has made in many OF the pur-
suits and requirements of which lndivic-
uals and communities are proud to boast,
but in her most vivid imaginings and far
reaching ambitions she has never been
fully conscious of her attainments. 1t
has remained for the present Bell
aire Council to diecoyer that the
reflected radience of her own renown
is sufficient without the and OF. gas light,
after 10 o'clock at night, and that the
moral terror inspired by the services OF
our efficient police officers in the past, is
sufficient for the preservation of good
order for the future without the bodily
presence of the officers on duty. Bel
laire is fortunate in at least possessing a
city council that is disposed to be econ
omical. But we expect they will con
slider this praise to be what Josh Billings
would call "sarkasm."
WE learn that the Lusk Bros. have
sold out their present establishment; but
are lot informed of their intentions for
the future.
Our City Council, who seem TO have
become SO extremely economical, should
have some of the street lamps cleaned.
A less amount of gas or a less number of
lamps would give the same amount Of
light during the little time they are al
lowed to burn.
OUR town has been remarkably quiet
of late. Yet VIC noticed a dilapidated
looking individual last evening who
must have been in some way connected
with Babcock's crooked whisky business.
OUR manufacturing establishments are
shipping large quantities of goods not
withstanding the general dizziness of the
times.
TIE Grand Jury adjourned yesterday.
During their session at st. Clairsviile,
this week, they examined one hundred
and thirty.f four witnesses and found nifty
one bills OF Indictment.
"LET there be light, and there was
light This does not apply to Bellai.o,
according to the notions of our City
Dads.
WE were reminded yesterday evening
by little accident which occurred in
front of the Globe House, of the truth of
tie old maxim that "there is nothing so
base as ingratitude.' A young granger
from the vicinity of Bellaire was riding
by on spirited charger whom he was
urging at a rather faster gate than the
city ordinance allows, when the saddle
girth broke and the countryman was
landed full length in the muddy street.
Fortunately no injury was sustained, yet
the man hurled some red hot adjectives
ut the mud because it was not froze up
hard so as to hurt him.
A POOR cuss who seemed to think he
couldn't see his way clear enough these
hard times without the aid OF glasses
stole pair Of spectacles from the Brad
ford House yesterday afternoon, but was
soon followed and captured by Officer
Drugan, who relieved him OF the coveted
treasure and sent him out into the cold
world again to paddle his own canoe
from the rugged shore of time to the other
shore of the vast eternity without the
aid of glasses unless he buys them or
steals another pair.
THERE are some parties Oh South Bel.

good hydrant water We have in Bellaire
