EROM SCOTCH RIDGE.

Mr.. ambassadors and General
readers-please allow me to iall into the
ranks once more and to inform the readers
Of the favorite old JOURNAL of the reason
| have been so long quiet. | wrote let
ter for the JOURNAL some weeks since
just at time when local transactions and
sensational occurrences were abundant
here. ! sent it to the office by very
careless person who neglected to post the
same; therefore ii never reached the edi-
tor, his columns or the waste basket.
Much interest is manifested by the cit
liens OF the Ridge in the impending case
of the State OF Ohio VS.. j. w. Phillips of
this place, and also in the case of Julia
Myers against ALI xander Wight-the for
mer for shoe ting his wife and the latter
for slander. Very many of our citizens
are in attendance at court as witnesses on
those two cases.

On Thursday night OF last week while
DR.. Whitaker and his nephew, lad of l6
years, were driving from the Corners to
the Doctors residence south of the river,
the horse took fright and ran away throw
ing the doctor and his nephew from the
buggy into the mud. The DR.. still retained
the rcins in his hands and was dragged sew
eral rods before he became detached from
the rig. The buggy was entirely demol-

other damage. The same horse sprang
from bridge last June, throwing the doe
tor aud his daughter from the buggy, and
the latter received nm injury from which
she will probably never entirely recover,
being a di-ocation of the knee cap.
One night last week four of our quiet or,
derly citizens bethought themselves to at
tend the so called "GiIt Edge Social Club" "
dance, at the village ol Pembervlle, and
while there were set upon in shameful
manner by Pemberyille's bruiser, who by
the way is said To be associated with and
allied to the. Hon. Mayor and Marshal OF
that town Tor the purpose al enticing or
otherwise drawing strangers into rows or
disturbances Tor the financial benefit OF
said Mayor, Marshal and also oil said bruis
cr. The brsiser claimed to have spite
Mt one oil the party and talked loud and
free to the boys, who merely resented the
attack In the same manner. On Saturday
morning, true to his custom, MIR. bruisel
ilsd nm affidavit before His Honor, the
Mayor, who issued n warrant for the ar
rest OF the aforesaid parties who were
promptly arraigned before his Court. Tn,
boys seeing the evidence was trained anc
the verdict already prepared, saw no othel
alternative than to plead guilty to charges
too numerous 10 mention, and were fined
Si4 each. Such transactions are beeom
ing tar too common in that village, an,
are stigma upon the town; n shack,
from which Pemberyile can never shake
herself luose however har'l she may try
IN long as she retains such meli in the OF
fee Of Mayor and MarRhal.
