Glassware.
A fast line mail is now received in this
city direct from New York, thus giving us
centre from IL to "a hours quicker than
heretofore by mail.
The new fixtures for the postoffice ar
rived Yesterday and will be put in position
TODAY. When the postoffice is all fixed up
il will be the finest in eastern Ohio.
Miss Ids wetherald, daughter of A. FL.
wetherald, is enjoying life at Lake Chau-
tauqua.S .
Gus Bigelow, son Of John Bigelow, of the
B. & o. Office, is sick with gastric fever.
The steamer Belmont arrived from South
ern ports yesterday, and is laid up below
the railroad bridge piers.
Mr.. James 7. Kelly, Of the First National
Bank, is recovering from severe attack OF
rheumatism. -.
By next week most of the glass houses in
the city will be in operation: With all OF
these Institutions in operation, business
will brighten up materially, even If the
mill don't start. The two window glass
houses. alone, pay out about $4,000 a
month to employees, while the Belmont,
the Etna, the National, the Goblet, the
lantern Globe and the other establishments
connected with them, will swell the
amount to good round sum, all OF which
is spent in Bellaire.
The County Commissioners, yesterday,
were viewing some bad places IN the pike
near Bridgeport, and they also had under
consideration the matter OF anew bridge at
the upper end of this city. A new one Is
TO be put up over McMahon's creek. If the
City Council is to leave Front street on
Gravel Hill opened, now is the time to
strike. for the commissioners would rather
contribute $500, or even more, towards
opening the street and making road with
out bridge, than to spend twice that
amount every year or two in fixing up a
bridge over the run, as they have to %
n..33w.
Some boys have been stealing iron from
the Ohio Valley foundry, in lower town,
and, yesterday, one of them was caught
and the marshal sent for. The youth OF
the boys pleaded for them and they were
not locked up.
A picked base ball nine from this city
sent an acceptance to the Athletics at
GAINESVILLE for a match game, and have re-
ceiyed no word. Guess the challenge was
hoax.
VIM. Cole, an uncle OF Mrs. Walter OAR
rah, from near New Philadelphia, arrived
in the city night befare last to visit his
niece. He is now at GAINESVILLE visiting
other relatives.
Spring chickens are selling for s. cents,
and there has not been good one sold in
this market this season. They are decided
ly the poorest crop We have ever known at
this season of the year.
DR.. J. s. Mcclellan, of this city, recently
left town, ostensibly to visit his parents
and sisters at Gallipolis, but it now turns
out that he went to visit somebody else's
sister, for he went clear to Kentucky, and
engaging the services of a minister had the
nuptail knot tied. Mrs. Mcclellan did not
return with the Doctor, but in due time he
will bring his bride here for a permanent
residence.
The excursion on the B., 2. & C. next
Sunday, promises to be big one. People
are coming from Wheeling, Bridgeport and
Martins Ferry. The beautiful scenery
along the route and the pleasures Of a day
in the woods are the attractions. The train
leaves here at s o'clock A. NJ.
The Democratic county ticket is con-
coded tn be the best of the Two by nearly
everybody.
Parties were engaged, yesterday, in meas
uring the distance from the c. Il p. depot
and from the wharf TO the new postoffice
building. The mail is delivered free OF
charge within a certain distance from rail
road stations and river landings, and the
measurement was made with aview of ascer-
tanning the distance from these points. The
distance from the river is little in excess
of the free delivery system, but the other
points are all the same.
Bellevlle, the York township murderer
is still at large. The talk about him Turk
ing round in the neighborhood where the
deed was committed is little transparent.
It's now claimed that he is in cave and
that the men who were going to pull him
in are afraid to approach 1t. This story is
very ghost like, and upon investigation,
we think will be found myth. tbs hard
" probable the man could stay there this
long without something to eat, andif very
vigilant posse of men were looking after
him il would be impossible for him to get
anything. The story of his whereabouts
being known is decidedly thin.
There is better order order in Bellalre
now on Sundays than for years. Strangers
who come here and get booty are pulled
in without ceremony and fine of $40 and
costs assessed.
The blackberry trade has been immense
in this market since they began to get ripe
and the quality is good, but they have to
travel too long distance to bs in good con-
dition by the time they reach here on the
boat.
Quite a number of people Of this city
will Join the Turner's in their excursion to
PitiSburg. The Bellaire order will meet at
the hall this afternoon and go up on the
G. y Lucas at 3 o'clock.
