DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

SATURDAY.-Some fellow who thinks
himself bigger" than the town of Jack
son, knocked off a portion of the fence of
the pound, last night, and fixed tso that it
would not hold hogs. John Stanton, of
Berlin, in town. To-day, while James
Remfry was at work mining coal in the
Eureka Shaft Mine, portion of the slate
roof fell upon him, crushing him down
and holding him tightly, until some min
ers, hearing the noise of the fall, came to
his assistance. The slate struck him
when his shoulders were near the roof,
thus partly breaking the force of the fall.
He was held against the coal below until
he became very sick. When relieved he
was able to walk to his home, distance
of several hundred yards, but has since
been confined to his bed. James thinks
that he gets little more than his share
of bad luck-and we believe he does.
But his present disability is thought to
be in the nature of bruises-no bones
being broken. This seems to be an era
of misfortunes. We learned to-day that
Dorsey McKinniss, of Coalton, owing to
the accidental running of a needle into
his hand, is suffering from something like
lock-jaw. j. r. Brown called this even
ing, and from him we learn that the con-
dition of Richard Vaughters is very
critical, and his death at any moment
would not be surprising. The children
of Thomas Rogers, living on Church
Street, near South, have the chicken-pox.
SUNDAY.-Harry Marshman went to-
day to bury the wife of John Peart, who
died day or two ago. Mr.. Peart resides,
we believe, in Bloomfield township.
...-Carl, little son of Franklin Rush,
died, yesterday, of measles. His death
was caused by taking cold before the dis
ease had left him. William II. Palmer
is still very feeble. .Supt. Atkinson as
sumed charge of the M. E. Sabbath School
to-day, with an attendance of 199.. Some
of the ladies who have been going around
on sort of home missionary work, re-
port case on Bridge Street, which would
furnish food for volume of Temperance
lectures. The ladies, hearing that the
family were in distress, went to their
tenement and found a poor downcast
woman, surrounded by distress, while
stretched upon the floor in drunken
stupor, was the beast whom she had once
delighted to call husband. The family
had purchased foe cents aoorth of coffee
and little flour, upon which they ex-
pected to make an evening meal. Mean
time, the disgusting beast who was
stretched upon the floor had perhaps
spent at least dollar for whisky, within
the last two days. The family stated
that they had eaten scarcely anything for
twenty-four hours. Is there anything
short of public whipping-post which
could fittingly meet this case?. Dave
Russell and family have arrived from
Missouri, where Mr.. Russell has been for
some years. His family consists of wife
and four children. Mr.. Russell is step
son of billiard Barton, of this place.
MONDAY.-The funeral of Carl Rush
was preached this forenoon by Rev. A.
W. Long, at the family residence, in the
west part of town.. &c. G. McKinniss, of
Leo, called at the Standard Office this
morning. Charlie Andres has built
himself a new residence in Coalton.
Charlie says he wants his friends to know
that his new house is done, and paid for,
and he is living in it. Charlie is warm
hearted fellow, and we are pleased to
note his prosperity. Perry Aten and
John johnson have taken their departure
for Wellston, where they will engage in
the Hardware business. The Wellston-
ties will find them young men of the very
| first class. :. Elder z. w. Pagan, of CALI
| polls, arrived to-day, and is the guest of
Judge Longbon. He preached tonight
at M. E. Church. Last evening, while
on our way to Church, drunken man
came reeling along, and, as we walked
along, we engaged somewhat in conversa-
ton with him. He seemed very anxious
to impress upon our mind that he had
read the Bible through very carefully, and
that he didn't believe - word of it.
"For," said he, "if you believe part of it
you've got to believe all, and can't be
lieve it all" We did not wonder that oul
unfortunate friend did not believe thu
Bible, or believe in Churches We knew
him when he was light-hearted, happ.
boy, and as aboy we played marbles, wen
fishing, played ball, and went to schoo
with him. He, as an only son, had ever.
advantage that love could procure fo
him; but he gave way to dangerous az
, petite, and to-day, though friendly ant
kind-hearted still in many respects, i
tumbling along his sorrowful way to
drunkard's grave. The Bible does no
teach us that the Kingdom of Heaven
peopled to any great extent by drunkard:
Can this be the cause of our unfortunat
friends unbelief? "Why," said he, 'ther
: is no hell but what we make for ourselve
: upon earthr' And he was certainly den
t onstrating this theory. After our unb'
:. lieving friend had passed along, we er
deavored to solve, in our own mind, VIII
Y it is that the first impulse of person e1
o gagged in sinful practices is to denouno

upon their faces idiotic leers which a
