DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

WEDNEsDAY.-Ye Yesterday, J. M. Trip
Judge Miller, c. A. Atkinson and S. M
Lake went hunting, in carriage On
the way home, Atkinson was driving
and undertook to drive over bridge. He
struck the bridge squarely in the middle
the middle of the team. The horses
got on the bridge all right, but the car
riage went over. The occupants also
went over. Charley did them all a good
turn-but Lake had little the advan-
tage of the others. He is the fattest man
and had the softest place to light. Char
ley thought he had actually struck The
Bridge of Sighs-but the size was entirely
too small. 49,. Considerable excitement
was created in the neighborhood of Four
Mile last night over the disappearance of
man named Cremeens, who had wan
dered away in fit of mental alteration.
He was found in this place. -. Hon. r.
FL. Jones made visit to-day to Oak Hill,
and, Monroe and Washington Furnaces
Mr.. Bedel and Mr.. Longbon will
make such changes in their business
rooms on Broadway as will make uni
| form block of these two rooms and the
Pugh building. The Portsmouth
Tribune has discovered that prominent
citizen of Jackson will be married short
| ly. The Tribune perhaps knows more
about the matter than the prominent
citizen himself. -. There is rumor to
the effect that the doggery-keepers of this
place have "boycotted" Mr.. w. M. john
son, the Insurance Agent, because he
took the stump for the second amend
ment. If this be true, all decent men
should give the Devils Agents dose of
their own medicine. 49,. The top of Capt.
Baldridge's flagstaff, over the Postoffice,
is broken, and the sharp-pointed spear is
bent over and points at the beer-den next
door. This is Indicative of the spear of
public opinion which shall yet pierce to
the death the business of drunkard MAX
| ing. Ia heavy rain to-day.
THURsDAY.-Mrs. John S. Hawk, of
Hamden is visiting friends here today. :.
Rev. Joseph Irons, of Beaver, spent
the day in town, and made the Standard
Office visit. From Bro. Irons talk, we
infer that parties who go to the neigh
borhood of Beaver and "Buck Hollow" to
hunt deer, are closely watched. 1t is
said that several hunting dogs have gone
into the woods in that region, that never
came out. 1t is great place for light
ming to strike deer-hounds. =. William
McKitterick, brother of John and George
McKitterick, coal operators, died this
morning, of consumption. He had been
failing for a long time, and had become
very weak, yet his death was rather sud-
den. The death of young McKitterick is
loss to the community, as the McKit-
terick boys are among our most enter
prising and valuable citizens. -. Joseph
Jolley has removed to Springfield. We
are much pleased to be able to announce
that Jo. had gotten out of the miserable
business he had been in for some time.
10. is too good fellow to be engaged in
the liquor traffic, and we trust that here
after he will leave such employment to
the cattle who are peculiarly suited to
the diabolical work of Misunderstanding
49,. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hughes, of
Sycamore street, have a new girl baby.
FRIDAY.-A dull, damp day. Last
night Dr. J. B. johnson brought to Geo
w. Clare and wife fine girl baby. s.
E. Brookins has started a huckster wag-
on. The funeral of William McKit-
terick was preached, at the residence OF
John J. McKitterick, on Bridge street
this afternoon, by Rev. f. S. Davis.
Mr.. William Mclaughlin, of Jay county
Indiana, is visiting relatives here. He is
cousin of J. H. Harding and Mrs. Olive
South, of this place. Mr.. Mclaughlin
says that Robert Hammonds retired as {
County officer of that County, few day.
