THE COUNTY SEAT.
It's Removal Troubling the Belmont
People.
Newspaper Comments - General News
from Bellaire and Martins
Ferry.

The fight over the county seat OF Bel
mont is progressing in earnest at Columbus,
and although the suspense is almost pain
full, the pro and con Hobbies behaved re-
markedly we'll, and no quarrels are report
ed. Yesterday afternoon, the time h1ed
for the consideration of the Locke bill, was
passed without reaching it all. The House
vss engaged all yesterday afternoon and
this forenoon in discussing the tobacco oili'
put it was thought the Locke bill would DC
reached this afternoon. st. Clairsville has
a big crowd on the ground, and they seem
to be doing the principal part OF the
work that is being done. There
ia a probability, says the Independent, that
an amendment will be put in the bill
submitting the question to a vote. An
effort will be made to do this, and II 1t is
successful, then St. Clairsville people will
w,nt the whole business smothered, and
can likely succeed in smothering it. Some
of the St. Clairsville lobbyists have come
home but the great bulk of them are still
on the ground, and last night they were
very confident in their expressions OF
ability to carry the bill through.
A gentleman who was among
the different gangs at Colum-
bus last night gives as his opinion that the
Locke bill will be passed by the House. he
seemed TO be quite certain Of this, and said
that st. Clairsville worked with much
greater effect than Bellaire. Said he: The
work being done for Bellaire has too much
the appearance of task for your Repre-.
sentative and some of the others. They go
about with too much an air and appear
ance of men who are doing something they
regard as task, and this kind OF work is
not very effectual.

A Fine Entertainment Given TO Large

The Opera House was fairly filled, last
night, the occasion being concert for the

They made an admirable quartette and sang
so beautifully, that repetition was loudly
demanded and gracefully given.
A flute duette, by Messrs. Anton Rey-

bers of the programme, and was raptur-
ously applauded.
MI. c. 7. Lucas sang 'tIn the Cleaning"

AFTER YEARS.
A Family Reunited After Long Lapse
Of Time.

of Time.
Tuscarawas county has family reunion,
under very peculiar circumstances, making
truth once more stranger than fiction, as
the Jefersonian is moved to remark.
Many years ago in our neighboring coun'
ty OF Tuscarawas lived young man named
Riggle. He was married, and for several
years all was peace and happiness within
his household. At length, however, the
sound Of the epithalsmium grew inslpld
and wearisome, and the once happy home
lost its CLEAN Of contentment. Father and
mother determined upon separation.
There were only two children, boy
and girl. The father took the
boy and the mother the girl, and
they separated never to meet again.
The boy grew to manhood, living some
times with his father and sometimes with
farmers for whom he worked. His father
was reticent in regard to his mother, and
could not or would not tell anything about
her. The young man knew he had moth,
er and sister living somewhere, and that
was about all he did know concerning
them. Frequently he wrote to towns
where he thought he might get
some tidings, but without eliciting the in
formation he longed for.
Not long since he read in the Jefersonian
an advertisement of the Cambridge Gas
Company for laborers to work in digging
bitches and laying gas pipes. He came
here and secured employment. While en-
gagged at this work he heard that there
lived here q woman bearing the same name
as his mother. He made inquiry, and
found she had gone to Cadiz; but he met
her daughter, whom he supposed might
be his sister, living with a
family in town. The young man
and young woman were in peculiar posi-
tion-they were unable 10 determine
whether or no they were related. letter
to the mother at Cadiz brought her here on
the first train, and she fully established
the identity Of her long lost son. Mother
and son and daughter were once more
united after the separation of years. Who
will deny that Fact is not sometimes as

Landlords and real estate agents say the
changes in houses this year will be unusu-
ally large, and expressmen are preparing
for busy time and big harvest. Why so
painful a subject should move man to
poetry is incomprehensiole. But it does.
One man perpetrates this:
See yoDder man so worn and sad;
Why does his bosom HEAVIER
Because he has not yet secured
A house in which to live.
And another has ground out this and
fired it at this Office in sections:
My dear we can no longer stay,
Said smith to Mis- =.
For here's another all-fool's day,
And Well have TO move, do confess.
This annual change, 1t makes me tired.
This tearing down and cleaning.
II even makes the stout hired
Girl regret her ever weaving.
There's forty yards OF ingram,
And seventeen rugs need dusting.
II makes me feel like going insane,
Or falling down and busting.
I've Just begun to learn my neighbors.
Their virtues and their sins know,
But how vain have been my labors
When the landlord tells me must go.
Must go and give room to another
Who can ante the raise in the rents,
Who's been more lucky than his fellow
brother
In acquiring the coveted dollars and cents.
Look well to your future, young man,
Ere Sou take for yourself . wife.
Have house Of your own, IL you can,
Before you double up in life.
In science and art Won NAV be wise.
And yersed In Latin, Fren ch and Greek,
But what philosophy under the skies
Will keep you square on ten dollars week?
But pursue your career without faction or
fear,
Keep the counsel your mother has given,
And when your income Is clear five hundred

Couple onto a woman and enjoy your Twin,

SWEET SCENTED SMITH.
HIS Horrible Crime Brings Down 4
Family In Sorrow.

Family In sorrow.
The REGISTER yesterday morning con-
tanned the full particulars Of the horrible
outrage committed by John Smith, OF Mar.
tins Ferry, on fourteen year.old girl OF
Wheeling. The girl is Of respectable
German family, and it would be only
adding to their trouble to mention
their name. The crime was on
ly known to them yesterday, and
produced the greatest CONSERVATION and
misery. The father and mother were
bowed in shame, and the brothers were
reused to vengeance. They were about to
start out to take summary revenge on
Smith, could they find him, but wiser
counsel prevailed. and they determined to
try the law. Application was made
to Captain Bennett but he could do
nothing without warrant from
Ohio. Nothing is too bad for such q
reptile, and had he been found yesterday
it would have gone hard with him. The
girl is a bright, pretty child, whose inno-
cent face would have disarmed any but
such a tiend.
Smith has a very unsavory record, having
been in the penitentiary for just such
crime, and TO return him there forever
would be but an oct of simple justice.
