glad to talk TO the Ohio boys and-glrl!
too! lie said he had no more show fol
office in your State than "short-tailed
cow in fly time" but it "does my littl,
soul good to talk to Republican Ohio
ans" He said that he pinned his faith
to Republicanism because Jim Blaine
said il was party of progression. We
are sorry TO say it, but Jake unequiyo'
cally asserted that West Virginians were
a " sang-digging people, who signed
their articles OF agreement by cross. u
Jake knew better.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Frank Hall, son of VIM. Hall, of the
First ward in this city, is lying danger
ousl " i'll at his residence in Colorado.
Mrs. Hall, mother of the sick man,
lett yesterday morning in compliance
with telegram for Colorado. Frank
has a great many friends in this city
who will feel grieved to hear of his i'll
ness.
Granville Gray, formerly OF this city,

looking eXtremel y well.
Geo. w. Scott, a prominent Green
back politician of Bellaire, returned to
this city on Saturday, after three
weeks trip through Pennsylvania.
Charley Hersey, the mailer who had
his eye put out by fragment of steel,
which confined him to his room
for about four weeks, is, we are happy
TO state, able to be on the streets again,
but looking much the worse for his long
confinement.
The attention of the street commits
sioner is respectfully called 10 the filthy
condition of the alley between Belmont
and Union streets, from Thirty-second
to Thirty-third. The drainage in this
part of the alley is very bad, and pool
of stagnant water, emitting an odor
which is anything but healthy or pleas
ant, is constantly allowed TO stand
much to the annoyance of people who
have sometimes TO pass through the
alley.
VICIOUS vANDALs.
While Company D's tlag-which is
company by the ladies OF Bellaire-was
hanging at the windows of the armory on
Friday night, some wretch, whose name
unfortunately is unknown, threw sew
eral stones through it, making ugly and
unseemly holes, which will be difficult
to repair. The company prizes this flag
very highly, both on account OF It's in
trinsic value and the manner in which
it came into the cOmpanys possession,
and if the name was known OF the party
who threw the stones, they would
doubtless make it exceedingly warm for
him.
The case containing the photographs
which took all the premiums awarded
at the Belmont county Fair, for speci
mems OF this art, at st. Clairsville, isnow
on exhibition in front of Tappan's gal
lery, in this city, and is attracting con-
siderable attention.
The horse belonging to |. +. Freese,
the liveryman, and reported as having
been shot during the m,ice at the boat
race on Saturday, is, Mr.. Freese informs
us, unhurt. The report was circulated
from the fact that during the fracas the
horse took fright at the reports of the
revolvers, and in rearing, broke some
part of the harness and fell, but beyond
a broken strap, no further damage was
Some time during Saturday night,
freight car ran off the track on the b. &
o. railroad, when near the bridge which
crosses the railroad on Union street and
banged itself into the uprights which
support the bridge. The timbers were
very stout and stopped the car with but
little damage.
