DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

! as a witness, was found guilty, and ser
fenced to the Penitentiary for two year:
Butcher was pensioner, and got drum
and lay down on a Railroad, when the en-
: gine cut off a portion of one foot, render
ing amputation necessary. The enginee
was witness in the case, and testifie'
that Butcher was lying helplessly drunl
on the track when he ran onto him. Tn
Doctors who cut the limb off were wit
nesses. Butcher himself was put upoI
the stand, and testified that his wound
was the cause of his leg being taken off
and explained it to the jury in this man
ner: "My wounded leg gave out that day
and had to lie down to rest, and the
train ran onto me. But Ham. didn't ex
plain why he lays down on the track, in
stead of some other location. When ask
ed if he was drunk, Butcher replied that
he was perfectly sober-as he had only
drunk mineral aooter bottle full of whis-
ky, "and twenty of them would not make
me drunk. Jack Masters, farmer
living near Four Mile, died suddenly last
night. He was in his usual health in the
afternoon, and had been working on his
place. The sound of the fife and
drums make things lively to-night-Grand
| Army drilling -. There is quite win
try spell tonight, and the ladies are hus-
Ting the house-plants indoors with more
| Vigor than grace. .....A noted Doctor
was tumbling along the street this even
ing, as though terribly afflicted in some
ineXplicable manner. AS he passed a par
tY of men, one of them suggested the idea
that his affliction was caused by having
taken dose of his own medicine.
We wish to correct any false impressions
that may have been made by George
Johnson's article about the Jail. The of
ficer who arrested him says the Judge"
was not in the flour barrel, but between
two bed-ticks. .... ."B. F. Smith PrOpr,"
is now the legend over the front door of
the Isham House.. i. The Office of Jones
&Morgan, spoken of last week was burned
late at night, and evidently fired, doubtless
for spite-work, or pure cussedness. ......
The ice-cream men look blue to-day.
This is not reflection on the milk they
use.J -. Charley Adams is endeavoring
and with some hope of success-to OBJ
tain pension for his sister, Mrs. Lucy
Palmer, now in Missouri. Stewart
Cherington is in town to-day. Stewart
don't believe Jugurtha Lackey is dead
man. Well, it won't do to set man
down for dead, just because he leaves
broken dogwood stick lying around loose.
Dave S. Grifiths has added pea
nut-roaster to the attractions of his con-
fectionery establishment, at the scales.
The Railroad boys tell good joke
on Billy Fallen. While working on the
road, he glanced over into field and sud-
denly discovered some fine tomato plants"
growing wild. He lost no time in secur-
ing them, and very kindly offered to di-
vide them with some of his comrades. |
But none of them wanted any-they even
Knocked his kindness, and laughed at his |
tomatoes. They were marigolds.
THURsDAY.-Positively cold to-day.
Bill Owens, Father Reed and others are
out with overcoats. Charley Smith
US that we slighted some of our
friends last week, when we spoke of Un-
Gle George Dever making friend a pres
ent of nice ring. He also gave Charley,
John Bertsch and others, fine rings. ......
The e. A. r. Boys are drilling. The
Jackson Lodge of Ancient Order of Hi
bernians were drilling this evening on
the common in the west part of town..
. Several citizens declare there was frost
last night, but we failed to discover it.
49,. Henry Philips is in town to-day.
. James Meacham sen. is in town to-day.
Father Meacham and Father Caudle are
as familiar sights on our street as they
were quarter of century ago. Both
have been spared long time in this
world, and bid fair for yet much longer
sojourn. -. Our longtime friend Thom-
as M. Jones called this afternoon, and
had a friendly chat about things in gen.
eral. Our old friend is comfortably situ-
ated in this world, having, besides his
coal and furnace property, one of the fin
est grazing farms in Southern Ohio. This
farm is situated near town, running from
the Corporation line, clear back to the
Franklin Township line, containing
about three hundred acres, which tract is
rented to Poor and Hoskins for stock
grazing purposes. Then he has the big
Music Hall in town, which is worth
good deal of money. The little folks
are securing the country for flowers this
afternoon. -. Miss Lalie Legg, who has
been visiting at Charles Rhodes for some
days, was taken ill to-day, and her moth
er telegraph9d for at Columbus. She is
a daughter of Ben. Legg, who was for
merly citizen of this place. -. The
soldier boys" are singing, tonight, the
grand old piece America" and making
it sound well, too. We can remember
when we attended the depart
ment in the Union School, taught by Mrs.
J. j. Hoffman, and that "hymn" was sung
daily by the whole class. The boys learn
ed to love the hymn" almost as well as
the pleasant, kind-hearted teacher, who
long since found resting place in one of
the "tem pied hills of her "native coun-
try"
tRIDAY.-A beautiful day.. The
in town were fine. Among
them N. Lowenstein had two fine pieces |
of fresh meat hanging out, with Ameri-
can flags by them. In answer to some
remark of a bystander, Low enstein re-
marked that sin such Union there is
80. Our old friend Channel |
of Petrea, was marching with the soldiers
to-day, and attended the supper tonight.
..... Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Kirkendall are
in town -. Robert Burden in town .
Aaron Kirkendall came in this morn
ing. He lost his right arm while sol
dier in the 27tn Ohio, the same Regiment
in which our fellow citizen j. L. Jones
served. Mr.. Jones remembers vividly
the time, place and manner, of Mr.. Kir
kendalrs losing his arm. Our old
friend John Turner has been observing
tho of froopc Cont
