The Ely Light Guards excursion to
Bainbridge on the 4th was a big affair,
several hundred persons went from here,
and the crowd at Bainbridge was i'm
mense. The day passed very pleasantly.
Washington will soon have an early
mail from Cincinnati, reaching here by
8 80 a. M, via the L. NJ. and C. W. & G..
Ry's. The Cincinnati dailies can be re-
eeiyed much earlier than at present by
by this route.
Parties interested went to New Bur-
lington, on the C: W. & c. Ry. Tuesday,
to select camping ground for the Ely
Light Guards. The citizens of Milledge-
vile, on the'D. & S. f. Ry., wish them
to reocupy Camp Rankin, at that place,
and offer substantial pecuniary induce
ment to the "boys'' as evidence of their
good faith. We think they had better
accept.
There were five excursion trains left
Washington on the morning of the
Fourth, as follows: One to Dayton over
the D. &. S. z. Ry., one West and one
East over the c. & NJ. v Ry., one to
Bainbridge over S. J. & p. Ry., and one
to New Burlington over the c. w. & c.
Ry., all of which were filled with people
by the time they arrived at each of their
respective destinations.
1t would add much to the appearance
of our streets, if citizens would take a
little pains to keep the weeds and grass
cut in front of their premises, and would
require but small amount of work or
expense on the part of each property
holder. Some of our streets, between the
road and pavements are filled with rank
growth of weeds and grass, which gives
them a very untidy appearance. Cut
| them down.

hoAse, at the west end of Court street,

Mr.. David Bing, of this place, re
ceived telegram, on the morning of tn,
4th inst, informing him of the danger
GUS illness of his daughter, and shortly
afterward received a second dispatch con
tanning the sad intelligence of her death
We clip from the Cincinnati Enquirer, ol

HMiss Bertha, eldest daughter of Mr.
David Bing, died at her fathers residence

ing about three O'Clock, of diphtheria
She had been i'll but a few days, and OF
Wednesday night about midnight wa
resting comfortably, her afflicted parent
hoping that the morrow would find he
cOnvalescing. But from that hour sht

prOfessionable efforts of Drs. Foster ant
Wright, who hal been called to her bed
side, death came and took from that grief
stricken family allowed and loving daugh

her eyes dark andlustrous, her face pre-
sented in death Picture as beautiful a
