On Monday and Tuesday evenings
DIR. Dixon; of Csdiz, who was here as
sisting Rev. Chslfant at a Communion
service on the Sabbath, preached to large
audiences in the Presbyterian Church.
Recently certain lewd fellows Of the
baser sort have been distur bling the even
ing meetings at the colored church. They
will probably be arrested and punished
for their rowdiness, as our police justice
is severe on that class of offenders.
Yesterday morning little black-and-
tan vclept "Pickle," belonging to John
Hill, came to an untimely end, A big
dog gave him too hard shake or crowd
ed him under the wheels of wagon,
which killed him. He was full-blooded
dog and general fsvorite. John would

horses. -
Speaking of horses, we feel moved
TO say that there is need for Bergh,
or some other active agent OF the society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in
this vicinity. The enormous loads of
coal piled on the carts for one horse to
pull up steep bridge approaches and hill
sides are enough for two to pull, and II is
clear cruelty to snimals TO impose it on

We are growing quite metropolitan IN
our manufacturing establishments. Mr..
Bratton has recently opened a cabinet
shop and undertaking establishment, Mr..
Phillips repair shop and npholsterinc

dustry, and it Is hoped that our mechanics
may receive patronage enough to keep
them busy.

want to get married they must get their
pater famitiaS elected TO the Ohio legis-
lature from Belmont county. Our
Senator and Representative have each
lost a daughter or gained son in this
way since their election. Yet there are
some others who marry. The following
mournful tale has q moral. Not q

who at once got hold of some of his wites

He also procured from her some notes
which she held from those to whom she
had loaned money, and bringing them to

notes were on good men. However, he

the conclusion that her new made hus-

authorities to make himself scarce in these
