December has hardly reached its middle
cur people have had an unusual stirring up
| in the way of psrties and entertainments.
Last week the attractions were unusual and
the number OF participation was quite large

Rose Hill was the scene Of happy gather
ing of young people. 1t was surprise on
Miss Jennie Piper, which her little friends
had gotten up in honor of her 18th birthday.
Well laden with sweetmeats they stole
quietly up the hill IN the
dark to their place Of meeting and besieged
| the house. Miss Jennie ushered IN the
| welcome visitors, and for several hours
merriment rose high 4 splendid supper
was prepared, Of which all partook with

rried, voting or paying road tax. Will

WEDNESDAY MATINEE.
On Wednesday evening entertainments
we're not lacking, The principal one, and
| one in which the most OF our people took
part, was the musical entertainment given
by the McGibeny family. The church was
well filled and the concert fully up to ex
| pectations. The audience, almost to per-
person, was satisfied. Little jamie by his
| comic actions and his drum playing, took
the house by storm. His child-like singing
in '.Peek-a.boo," in which he was carried
through by the excellent singing of his
mother, Mrs McGibeny, was very pleas
ing act to the audience. To mention the
individual performances Of the troupe
would consume too much space but we will
say that the family can always
count on paving houSein Bellairs.
The same evening the Martins Ferry
skating rink opened its doors. A special
train was run from this city after supper
and by the time Martins Ferry was reached
full load was on board. Although q great
many more attended from here, below is

NEWS NOTES.
Yesterday was the last day of work for
the flint glass men. How pleasant it is to
linger in idleness during the winter when
one feels like pitching in, and when the
necessity of money is so easily seen The
year, 1884 will close up on more scenes OF
hunger and privation than any like period
for years. Bellsire has had her share. A
great number Of puddlers, helpers, ETC., were
the first to be attacked and as the days OF
1885 draw nigh lot US hope for revival of
trade in our chief product, glass. There is
many reasons why such thing will take
place before many months.
The Boston Dime Museum was here for
three nights last week and gave attractions
to crowded houses every night. 1t is first
class museum and the price Of admission
caught the eye of most everybody. On Fri
day night the windows, doors and every 9th
er place was filled with persons eager to see
the novelties. Last night the crowd was
equally as large and came home with smil-
ing countenances.
The Misses Cora Zane and Aggie Rose of
Wheeling Island, are the guests OF Miss
Jessie Sharp.
