CoyrIpEycE MEN.-Frank Black
and John White from our ncighbor-
ing city of Gallipolis, (the place
where jim Harper liyes) opened out
in this place last Friday, with a fine
assortment of jewelry which they
proposed to sell at maryellously low
prices; and as an indictment to the
purchaser, they offered him a chance
in drawing a certain envelope which
contained a corresponding number to
that placed in the jewelry which was
con pic. ously displayed, in mice"
show ctses, For u White customers
were frightrully scarce and the pro,
prictors were graycly discussing the
point as to whether they should
"strikc tents" and leave or not, when
ullat once the genial smile ola gen
tlcman from the country" entered,
who bet eagerly at the tempting bait
offered, played, staked his last dollar
and lost. This occurred on Friday,
and he feeling sore over the loss OF
the "ducats," fhade complaint next
morning to Justice Phelps, who issu-
cd i warrant for the arrest Of the
confidence men," and placed it in
the hands of Constable Whaley, who
executed it without delay, and the
rnrtics we're soon before His Honor,
who after hearing the evidence;
bound the proprictors of the Jewel
~ store" over to the Circuit Court
in the penalty of $500 bail each, and
in default of which they were com.
United to Jill, whore they will Ian
guish, until the bond with approved
security is forthcoming.
Next Friday, y week, will witness
the close of our public schools in
Point Pleasant, for the school year OF
1S7G-77. Prof. Kenny and his assist
ants havclaborcd diligently in their
little republics to maintain good dis
cipIine and to advance the intolli,
gcnce Of those young and tender
minds intruSted to their care. True,
there are some who have withheld
their praises Of the noble efforts Of
our worthy teachers and have not
encouraged them as they should have
done. But upon the whole, satisiac'
ton has been rendered that parents
whose children have receivedinstruc'
lion in our public schools this win
ter. And we trust that our people
may always get as efficient teachers
Us they have had during the present
time.
On the 18th, 18th, and 10th days OF
May, 1877, ut Leon, the teachers OF
this county will convene in associa'
ton. The programme has already
been printed and the committee APP
pointed to prepare it, have shown
themselves adequate to the task by
their judicious selection of subjects
and topics, as appears by tn: pro.
gramme. This enterprise is solely
for the benefit of our teachers and
each and every one should avail him
sclfof its benefits by attending the
same. The people of Leon, we are
informed, will spare no pains, labor
or patience, to provide ample accom-
mediation for all teachers, and con.
tributors to the exercises of the oc'
casion. No one need fear that there
will not be a ready, extension of the
hospitality of the good citizen o
Leon and vicinity.
RIVER Ngws.-The Ohio River
transportation Company are talking
Of building new boat for the Pitts
burg trade. Tho new boat will be
longer than the Emma Graham but
whether she will be put in the En-
mas place, or take different day, Is
yet undecided. The Graham is un
able to do near all the business and
another boat is badly needed. The
or. T. Co. have established rcpu
lalion as safe and reliable carriers
on the upper Ohio, and the trade vii
he glad to SEQ the new cnterprizc
flourish.
