A BARBARIsN.-The practice the young
have Of giving newly married people a
charivari Is nothing more nor less than
barharism, direct insult to those mostly
and an outrage upon the COM
munity at large. The practice should be
stopped, and we believe 1t to be the duty
ofour municipal authorities to arrest all
in such night carousals and
have them fined as disturbers Of the peace.
LARGE CoNTRAcT.-We understand our
fellow townsman, Capt. L. G. Randall,
has taken the contract 20 get out between
four ;nnd five hundred thousand feet Of
oak timber for the Ohio Central l.. X. We
wish Mr.. Randall success in his big con-
tract, and may he come out with nice
margin.
THE SCOTT CAsE.-The grand jury on
Monday brought in an indictment ofmur-
der in the I'd degree in the case of Robert
X. Scott. Mr.. Scott was arraigned before
the Court on yesterday aud plead not gull
ty to the charge. A continuance in the
case was asked by counsel and agreed to
by the Prosecuting Attorney. The Court

citizens going upon the bond: VIM. Shef-
field, L. Trowbridge, j. g. Haly, S. NJ.
Heller, J. Lowery, A. NJ. Willard, ID. Will
son and f. S. Blair.
Another of those entertainments which,
after they are over, the memory harbors
up and weeks an 1 months after recollec-
tions of the pleasure and joy of the occa-
sion comes up vividly in ones mind, came
off at School Hall on Friday evening last.
The entertainment consisted of recitatiOns
and readings by Mrs. Irving, of Toledo,
and vocal and instrumental music by
members of the Orpheus Society. AL
though Mrs. Irving has had several classes
in elocution in our city, this is but her Sec
ond public appearance before our citizens
She has made many warm friends and ad.
mirers, which have been won by hei
bright and sparkling manner of reading
and through the grace and dignity dis.
played, not only upon but off the stage
The music was good as the reputation o
of the Orpheus Society foretold.
