"Carve dat possum and shootdat dog"
&C., by the Fields Brothers and Compa-
ny, of Eaton, at Fowler's Opera House,
on Saturday night last, was the source of
no little amusement to a fair audience,
Notwithstanding the judges, Capt. Folk
erth, Doc. Fowler and Smith Bennett,
decided against DR.. Gaines, and support
ed, Brother Chinn in his argument in fav-
or of a married life. The Company will
play at Fair Haven on Saturday next.
DR.. J. Whitaker, who for eight years
kept a drug store on the corner of Fifth
and Vine, has quit the Queen city and
opened out here.
John Thompson, of this place, boarded
the $50 trains. a few mornings since,
went to Somerville, r~esurrected a child
buried in the cemetery, dug a new grave
and rehuried it and got back home on
the $50 train the same morning. For
dispatch in work of this kind John is a
success.
A valuable horse, worth $175, belong
ing to G. H. Edison, of Eaton, fell
through the platform of the barn ot'well,
on his farm q mile south of town, on
Friday last, and went down % feet, the
result being death from drowning in four
feet OF water.
One day last week the little Swear old
daughter of Mr.. j. M. Barnet, while
playing around the cistern, accidentally
fell through an opening at the side and
went down into eight feet of water. For
~tunately, however, Mr.. BIS sister-in-law,
Miss Kelly, heard its cries, ran and pick
ed up a broom, put the handle of it down
to the child, who with great presence OF
mind for one so young, grabbed it with a
death grip and held on until help came
and assisted Miss K. in saving it from a
watery grave. And the adage that mis-
fortunes scarcely ever come single hand
ed was singularly verified in this in
stance, as the next day her little brother
had an arm broken while wrestling at
school.
Mr.. Wit. Chadwick and Mr.. Samuel
Huffman, two typos, the former on the
| Cincinnati Gazette and the latter on the
Commercial, have left their cases and
been recuperating a few days among
friends at home here.
Mrs. Lou Brewer, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Snyder, OF this place, died
on Thursday night last, after a weeks
severe suffering. She was a genial,
pleasant woman, the loving mother OF
two bright sweet children, a faithful wife
and a consistent christian and member o.
the Presbyterian church.
DIR. Charles DEMAND, another of Cam
denis rising young men, has but recent
ly returned from Louisville, KY, where
he graduated with honor at the Kentucky
Medical College, go. S." in that city,
and since which time he has definitely
settled two important questions in life's
drama, to-wit: First, to locate in the
thriving little city of fredericksburg, O..
and second, to take unto himself a part
ner to share his joys and sorrows through
life, and he done so on Thursday eve
ming last by marrying Miss Jennie, the
accomplished daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
s.. j. Danser, of this city, at their resi-
dence, the Rev. Mr.. Weaver officiating
No. cards-although her brother Lee, O.
Rushville, Ind, and Miss Nell Lock
wood, of Eaton, were present. The best
wishes of a host OF friends go with the
happy couple, and with hopes that for
tune may smile upon and kind friend:
greet them upon their arrival at thei
chosen new home.
