ploye of the Northern will look up goods at

The Locke bill being made a special Or
der for next wednesday, our delegation,
with the exception OF DR.. West, returned

ing. There seems to be no doubt here
whatever but that the bill will pass. 1t Is

Among the sick-Judge Cowen is re-
ported better; Miss Blanche Grove, who

Henry Never, ESQ, has been confined 10
his home for a few days with a severe cold /;
Editor w. \. Hunt has been under the
weather from the same cause, and, in fact,
almost every one has a cold. Otherwise the
health OF the community is as usual, good.
The report is current that some OF the
cOlored people propose sending their
children TO the Union school to morrow,
owing to the fact that their school will be
closed. We have been to some trouble to
find out the law on this question, and
have heard all sides OF it, and it seems that
if the School Board furnishes them a
school building and teacher Of their own
for q term of not less than twenty.four
weeks in a school year, they will have COM
piled with the requirements OF the law.
This has been done, and if our information
as to the law IS correct, We do
not see where they propose to make
stand. Itis to be regretted that their school
is to be closed, but even If 1t was kept up,
not more than eight or ten ever attend dur.
ing the spring term. On the other hand
the claim is made that the colored folks
have right to the same length Of time as the
other schools.
S. G.. Hughes of this place, was down TO
Bridgeport and on Thursday evening called
into Lyle's grocery for some oysters, laying
down dollar to!pay for the same. The man
waiting on him made a pretention of plac-
ing the dollar in bowl OF or ackers while
he went into another room to get the oys-
ters. On his return he accused Mr.. Hughes
of taking the money from the bowl, and on
his DENYING it he was knocked down and
put out of the store, getting neither oys-
ters or money. This is the way Gress tells
it. and he bears the reputation OF being
honest. He has pair Of black eyes. Ar
rests will most likely fellow.
The little fling at our postmaster in
Thursdays InteligenCers ST. Clairs' lille
correspondence does no credit to the young
man who wrote it. The fact of the matter
is. the postmaster Is bothered to death by
the school children calling for mail half
dozen times a day, and in some cases half
dozen from the same family calling, one
after another. There also seems to be
systematic organization among several OF
the young gents(?) to bother not only the
postmaster but other people by petty lit
lie tricks. OF course, the lntelligencer
correspondent does not belong to the gang.
Mrs. w. o. Umstead and family, who
have been visiting friends at New Martins
vile, W. Va, returned home on Friday
