DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

WEDNEsDAY.-A beautiful day.
Hunters String Band went to the Jail to-
night and played some fine music for the
unfortunates confined in that gloomy
place. -. There was grand parlor ball
at the residence of Morris L. Sternberger,
on West Street, tonight. Music by Hun
ters String Band, of Chillicothe. -. "A
social party tonight at the residence of
A. d. Grassland, on Bridge Street. .....
Old Mrs. Waller, of Jackson township,
mother of George Waller, is lying at the
point of death. 49,. This is halloween,
and the boys were making great prepara-
tions for doing mischief, but the police
invited the youngsters to take walk
homeward, before any serious devilment
was done. If you were to ask Capt.
Sam. Stevenson, of the Fire Company, his
opinion, he would advise you never to
take your pet dog to the ballroom. 80.
A charge, or string of charges, was pre-
ferred against one of the policeman to-
night by a citizen who seemed to think
the officer had been trying to injure his
character. When the Council come to in
vestigate the matter they will probably
sing "a charge to keep have"
THURsDAY.-A cool, breezy day.
We took hunt to-day near the Bierly
settlement, on the farm of J. B. Howe.
We found that gentleman engaged in
dressing young porker, but upon our
putting in an appearance with a shotgun,
Jim procured his gun and we were off for
hunt. This farm is the old Howe home
stead. Jim has some sixty odd acres up
on which the buildings are situated.
This land is all neat and clean, under
good fences, contains fine spring under
natural cave of rock, also a well, and
fine array of out-buildings. This is a fine
homestead, in good neighborhood. on
the Chillicothe road, nearly three miles
from town. But Howe has the western
fever, wants to sell out, and offers the
whole place for twelve hundred dollars.
This is certainly a bargain. We spent
very pleasant day with Mr.. Howe and his
family and are under obligations to Mr..
Albert Howe for bringing us home in
buggy in the evening and while in the
neighborhood called upon our old and
mrch esteemed friend w. W. Pierce. We
found Mr.. Pierce busily at work at his
trade, and seemingly contented and hap
py Miss Abbie Pierce, one of Jackson
Countys best young ladies, is teaching the
School at Centre Point, and is proving
successful and popular teacher. We be-
ieve Mr.. Pierce's children are all "mar-
ried and gone," except Miss Abbie, and
son, and the old folks can now look with
pride upon well-raiSed and successful
family of children. -. Mr.. William Hill
ligas, living between Pierce's and Howe's,
has boy dangerously sick with some
thing like typhoid fever. Mr.. Moles,
rived from the west to-day, on visit. -.
John Milliken was out among his coun-
try friends on Buffalo Skull, to-day and
took a squirrel hunt. -. Mr.. Will Price
and his sons, Harry and Willie, went to
Cincinnati to-day, to be gone until Satu1-
day.
r FRIDAY.-This is one of the
Bunday is in town to-day. The Tea
of the Women's Foreign Missionary So
ciety to-day, at the residence of T. P.
Sutherland, was highly-successful af-
fair-large attendance and good time gen.
orally. -. There was a fine display of
aurora borealis tonight. 49,. There have
been various wild rumors going about of
late to the effect that street loafers have
been pursuing, and offering insults to-,
ladies who have occasion to pass along
the streets after night. If these stories
have any foundation in truth, the male
friends and relatives of any lady so pur-
sued should hunt down the scoundrel who
offers the insult, as though he was wild
beast. Such cattle should be made to feel
that their worthless lives are in danger
while they carry on such dangerous prac-
tees. :. "A small covey of quails have
been staying all Fall in the gardens of the
dwelling houses on the north end of
Broadway street. Their calls may be
heard, daily from the fences or house
tops. This morning one was sitting on
top of the building on the corner of Main
and Broadway, visiting merrily. One
flew into the resinence of W. T. Price, or
: Pearl Street.. :. b.. The Literary Society Of
: the Jackson High School held meeting
at the School House tonight. The exre
cises consisted of essays, declamations
speeches, sc.

+ is nearly seventy years old, and although
, rapidly approaching the allotted "three
score-and-ten," he still looks younger thai
