DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

WEDNEsDAY.-John J. Jones of Oal
: Hill called to-day. &c. Percy Rhode
1 went to Columbus to-day, on visit. 49,.
i To-day there vss one of the fiercest snow
storms of the winter-a furious wine
making it especially disagfeeable and un
comfortable. ."Poor fellow, I'm soIr.
for him." was the expression of mort
than one person to-day, speaking of Keen
an. There is feeling of sympathy fol
the man who must undergo so deep 6
humiliation as coming again among the
friends whose confidence he betrayed.
Evan Thomas is now sole proprietor
of the Jackson Planning Mill. -. Yves
Vaughn is back again, and keeping house
on "Posey" Hill. ga taffy-pulling'
tonight at the residence of Mrs. Jane
Swanson. The Scott Building, on
Broadway. has been purchased for, and
is being fitted up for, permanent dram
shop. -. There are quite number of
persons at the Opera House, this after
noon watching couple of fellows trot
around the room for money. 80. 1t is re-
ported that squirrels are becoming plenty
in this County. The Democratic Legis-
lature has made them bold. -. Mrs.
Jennie Gilliland is visiting the family of
her father, Samuel Baker, to-day. She
will start, tomorrow, for Columbus and
thence to Norwalk, Ohio, in company
with her brother-in-law, Mr.. Williams.
49,. Marshal Owens called at the Stand
| ard Office to-day and requested US to re-
turn his sincere thanks to his many
friends for their support in the recent
election. 1t is certainly encouraging to
"Bill" to pull through again, as he has al
ready held the office four terms-eight
years.
THURsDAY.-Hrs. Mault and her
daughter Mary have removed to Wash
ington G. H.. There was another
small sized snow-storm to-day .....A An
odd sight was to be seen on Portsmouth
Street this forenoon-a man going along
shivering, with an overcoat on, and car
rying couple of fishing-rods in his
hands. This might indeed be called fore
ing the season. -. A rabbit was pranc-
ing around on Portsmouth Street this
morning, enjoying the last snow. .....J.
K. Stewart is clerking for Evens, Hun
singer & Co. .....John Darling of Coal
ton is in town to-day, but the boys are
beginning to know him and Wash Wise |
man apart, now. Keenan, arrived on
the mail train this afternoon, in charge |
of Sheriff Cherington. He does not look |
one bit changed, except that he is tanned |
some. He has been working out of doors. |
A number of his friends here had the op- |
portunity of taking him by the hand, on
his alight from the bus. -. ohm Bowen |
was brought before Judge Miller to-day,
charged with being insane. 1t seems
that Johns leading characteristics are
that he will not work, and spends his
time playing on the fiddle and jewsharp,
and gives way to uncomfortable fits of
temper. He was discharged. There
has been more lying, square out from the
jaw, with regard to Keenan, and his
than one could readily imagine.
Elsewhere we give true account of his
as given by himself. IA
number of men are taking up collection
to buy horse to give as present to Mr..
Sweeney, the driver of the delivery wag-
on.
FRIDAY.-A beautiful day. -. Mrs.
keenan, came to town to-day and called
On her truant husband at the Jail. Mrs.
keenan, is a noble woman, and it certain
y must be an angelic disposition that can
Jake back, and love, again, the life that
mas been so wayward. Yet this forgive
ness on the part of the good women may
be the means of saving the erring man.
Tis beautiful picture of wifely affec-
ion. REV. D. J. Jenkins called to-day
n company with Mr.. Mills and Mr.. MOI
gan, of Chicago, and Mr.. Hughes, of Gin
,innati. These gentleman are to give a
grand musical entertainment here short
y. Mr.. Hughes is son of John Hughes,
If Jefferson Township. Should these
men give an entertainment our people
nay confidently expect first-class mus
cal treat. 49,. Adam Winfough, of Coal
on is taking in the sights of Jackson to-
Wv. G. Draper. of Portsmouth.
n town to-day-also, Mitchell, of the
Tribune. I'VE met our old friend
John FL. Stephenson tonight, on his way
home with fine silver sugar dish which
le had drawn with package of baking
powder at Miller's store.
SATURDAY.-Mr. Brn1y is circulating
lmong Jackson friends to-day. -. Mr..
Andrew Leslie called. He thinks of re-
moving from his home in Milton Town
;hip. .....W. FL. Sloan, of Monroe Fur
lace, in town. We called in at the
Mayors Court, this afternoon. Quite a
crowd were present, and the colored man
Johnson, who cut Watson, was up for
rial. Watson was sent for, and came in.
Johnson was asked if he wanted law
yer, and chose Jim McClung. Jim was
ousy, and His Honor suggested several
others, beginning with John T. Moore,
ESQ.,, with possibly one exception the old
EST lawyer at the Jackson bar. The col
pred man looked up innocently, and re-
marked: "Well, send for Moore. Hes
better'p 7ao7e!" It was evident that the
man did not know Mr.. Moore, and the
Squire's friends enjoyed hearty laugh
at his expense. -. The rush OF parties
to see Keenan, has been so extensive as
to be excessively tiresome on the Jail
people, yet the utmost kindness and cour-
tesy are shown to ali. Mr.. Keenan's son
was in to see him to-day. -. There is
ever feeling of quietude and satisfac-
tion on Saturday night-a feeling of re-
lief from care, and an opportunity for
meditation upon the future. 1t is well
when one can realize that the week has
been profitably spent. The weather
has been warm to-day, with rains in the
evening. .... Perhaps the greatest sell of
the season has been the side-show called
the "walking-match." Two young men
would prance around track for a few
hours in the afternoons and evenings, |
