Columbaus want reading room or
some place for our young men to spend
their evenings instead of loafing on corners
in saloons aud like places of Woe. Our
leading citizens are agitating the question
and they will no doubt succeed In getting
such place. 1t is badly needed, and ii
properly cared for, csn bs made success
Last evening was q most disagreeable
one; aud by $3.50 o'clock, our streets pre-
ssuted deserted appearance. Although
rain is not falling to day yet the weather
is such that few persons are ont doors.
This mornings market was made waf
conspicuous by the absence Of many sellers.

last evening. aud this evening, Osceola
tribe, No. IL, l. o. Il. NJ. will light its

until the engine house is properly heated.
Several attempts has been made to hold
meetings but quorum could not bt
raised.
1t would DO advisable if our GOAL mer-
chants who have to send their teams aorosi
railroads, would employ sober men. Las
evening a driver OF coal wagon was no
drunk that when he fell into the wagoI
from his seat, assistance had to bo giver
him before no could get back again on th'
seat.
In large haul of fish last night, Al.
Leonard caught pike measuring over on'
foot In length, and an enormous musk
rat.
The rougbs at Third and Walnut street,
have added putty blowing and ston
throwing to their misdeeds. The residenc
of Geo. Tile, and A. Wilson have suffere'
most, and almost every day one or NOR
Of their windows are broken.
John Lehnard's cellar was broken int
last night and q large amount OF edible
extracted. This is the second time In tw
weeks, and Mr.. Leonard, who is tenan
