volver in his pocket, and was spelling for
fight. A house. in jamestown, be-
longing to Isaiah Burnett caught fire
this morning, from defective flue. The
alarm was sent in, but the engine-horses
were a good ways off, and did not get to
the engine-house for some time. When

out, and the engine could not make more
than ten or twelve pounds of steam, but
was able to throw considerable water.
The building was burned down. 1t was
insured for four hundred dollars. .... We
have been informed that Ed. Bannon has
rented portion of Mollie Burnett's house
on Broadway. A well known copper
head was talking about Cleveland and
Reform. an the street to-day, when a Re-
publican asked him if he knew what

FRIDAY.-Democratic politicians are
beginning to stuff the more ignorant
Democrats with the story that they will
be victorious next month. Any man who
believes such nonsense, makes a very
good Democrat. Jimmy Goulding, of
Straitsville arrived in town to-day. go.
Mrs. DR.. McGiffin returned to her home
in Miami County to-day. -. Mrs. W. w.
Peabody took Mrs. Lucy Benton home to
Cincinnati with her to-day. Mrs. Benton
has been in very poor health for some
time. These ladies are sisters. "A
beautiful picture of patient suffering is
seen almost daily in town, at this season
of the year, in the melancholy pulling
and pushing of the paddle, in the apple (
butter kettle. Ed. Poor has been
down at Centreville on business, and .
says the Republicans jollified down there
in lively style, over the glad election
news. 49,. Money has been circulating
with considerable activity for couple
of days now, owing to the payment of
election bets. -. Bob Wilson is in town.

Church. Rev. E. W. Lloyd was seen
on the streets to-day, clad in a fine new
suit of clothes, with the sleekest and
finest of plug hats. "There," remarked :

Lloyd has been betting on the election +
There is an occasional Democrat to l
be found who will spout out something ,
about "the Blaine hippodrome." The /
Democratic monkeys do not like to see
the Republican elephant passing by, in
all his majesty. The melons in the S
stores about town present a melancholy
appearance. They seem out of time.
They look like Democrat after an cleo
tion.
SATURDAY-A beautiful day, and a
goodly crowd in town. .... A well known ,
cattle dealer from jackson went out into ,
Scioto Township to-day on business, and
at one point the subject of politics was
introduced. The Scioto man was an old
moss-back Democrat. and declared that
Ohio had gone Democratic on the 14th

old mani The Democratic politicians
had been around, and had given him an
other dose of wind pudding. -. This
has been an unfortunate day for Jackson
men. James Mayhem, who lives nearly
two miles south of town, while working
at his barn, had fall, which came near

broke with him, 4 man was also rough
ly bruised by jumping from a train, near
Star Furnace. A car jumped the track,
and the man, George Stevens, leaped in
order to save himself. -. Though the
young men take an active interest in pol
itics, they cannot beat the old wheel
horses yet. We met to-day On the streets
our old and esteemed friends W. S. Schel-
lenger, Uncle Hugh Gilliland, and others
of our older citizens, and the conversa-

when all declared themselves too old to
Garry torches, follow bands, and march
in professions, yet they recalled the fact
that in the recent Democratic procession
here were large number of old men

seventy. What a pity it is that old men
