DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

TUEsDAY.-Rev. A. W.-Long planted a
fine lot of onion sets to-day. He planted
them in the street. He was taking them
home in band-boX, when, as the mer-
chants say "the bottom knocked out"
and the onions followed the bottom. -.
Tom Moore concluded he would have
some sauer-kraut for supper this evening,
and started home with paper bucket
filled with the delicious artic1e-then
Tom concluded that he wouldn't have
kraut for supper, either. He was led to
this conclusion by seeing the bottom of
his bucket suddenly disappear, with the
contents of the bucket in hot pursuit.
WEDNEsDAY.-Cold and wintry. :. "A
good story is told of certain aspirant for
official honors, in this place. At the
Democratic Convention his name was
presented for Constable, but was with
drawn. The man afterward said that his
name would be presented to the Republi-
can Convention, as it was the Office he
wanted, and he believed that by way of
the Republican party would be the surest

town to-day. Ehis afternoon team
was standing ON Main street. The team
consisted of wagon and two fawn-col-
ored mules. 4 man was attempting to
hitch the tugs" when one of the mules
let fly at him, and with "Ya-a-a-hw he
jumped backward, continuing his con-
versation with friend all the time. On
a second attempt, the mule kicked two
links out of the tug-chain, and when the
man began to yell "y-a-a-h" at him, his
headquarters bounced up and down like
a rubber ball, and there was perfect
cloud of mules feet thereabouts. After
a fruitless attempt to hitch him, another
man came up, took hold of the chain and
hitched it without the least objection on
the part of the mule. There was lesson
in this: A little careful work is better
than great deal of noise.
THURsDAY-This has been doctors
Day" in Jackson, the town being full of
physicians from all parts of the county,
met for the purpose of perfecting medi-
cal organization. Our old friend Capt.
Sam. White, of Liberty, called at this
Office to-day. We had call this after
noon from A. L. Lewis, the jolly drug
gist, of Hamden.. Henry Martin, son of
c. M. Martin, was able to be out of the
house for short time this morning.
Henry has been quite sick for a long
time, and looks much emaciated. -.
Charlie McKinniss, of Leo, was in town
to-day. Mrs Reynish, of Washington
township, died yesterday of lung fever.
She was seventy-three years of age.
While passing Broadway street tonight,
we saw striking illustration of the SIM
ilarity of personal appearance which
often leads to embarrassments. A
drunken fellow was soldering and jab-
bering in front of a doggery, and as we
passed along we gathered from his maud
lin gibberish that he was cursing the
Standard and its editors. The funny
part of the matter is that the fellow
looked exactly like our old friend Jim
Meacham. But it couldn't have been
Jim. He certainly wouldn't get drunk
and make public ass of himself, just at
this time This must have been some

Portsmouth street. Theodore is getting
ready to enjoy old age in style. ...Voris
Stevison called to-day, and Qike every
body else) renewed his subscription to the
| Standard. Voris says he couldn't well
do without it, and we believe every word
of it. :. Price Brothers received, yesterday
and to-day, over two hundred dozen eggs

orders for Easter eggs. Dungan's store
handled about fifty dozen, and could
have disposed of many more.
