DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

left instanter, but not quite so fast as
did on the day of the Jones boys escapad
49,. Mrs. Lewis Mapes was taken to til
Asylum at Athens, to-day, by Sheri
Cherington. He went this morning, an
returned on the miners train to-nigh
A quick trip. Mrs. Mapes was formerl
Miss Sophie Howe, and has sister in tn
| Asylum. 1t seems peculiarly sad tina
this dreadful malady should consig
two sisters to the Asylum. We kno,
Miss Sophie as one of the most pleasant
light-hearted and happy of our old az
quaintances. and it is hard to under
stand what wise purpose is to be serve
by this visitation. .Hellol Here's ou
old friend John Doles in Jail, charge
with a nameless crime-namelss at least
in good paper like the Standard-an,
John thinks he will get away with hi
prosecutors. John is gentleman of col
or-much color. -. Miss Susan Paul o
Webster, is visiting Mrs. Charles Rhode
of this place. -. Some person, withou
the fear of future punishment before hi
eyes, struck Jimmy McCoart in the back
to-day. Jimmy wants him to understand
that he cannot come around on the othel
side and do it......A young lady OF
Portsmouth Street. was very anxious tc
see Ober and Murray, and little gir
living in the same house-Mattie R
is just as fond of seeing scattle pass
heard a band playing, and Matte saw q
drove of cattle. "There they 60 p shout
ed Matte. What is it ?" said the young
lady. "Why," said the lady of the house
Murray and Ober, I suppose" The
young lady rushed out and asked quick
ly: "Where are they, Matter" why
there they go" exclaimed Matte, excited
ly, as she pointed to a drove of solemn
looking old steers that were marching
leisurely along. 80. Mrs. John Price Sen.
had fall few days ago, which crippled
her somewhat for the time being, but she
is now oble to be about again. - Court
adjourned to-day until Monday. I'VE
inquired of guard Baker to-day if the
prisoners were having any more fits of
insanity. He replied in the negative, and
we learn that the prisoners are turning
their attention towards spiritual things
again. Why is it, that procession of
drunkards are constantly reeling about
the streets. A man found intoxicated is
guilty of crime: a man who sells liquor
to persons in the habit of becoming in
toxicated, is guilty of crime. Yet here
they go, tumbling along in defiance of
law and decency.
THURsDAY.-Cleara and cold. -. Rob
ert Cook and wife have a new girl baby.
-. George Eisnawgle was driving a
mule to-day at Star Furnace Mine. Geo.
thought the mnle needed a blow so he
struck him. Pretty soon he struck him
again. The mule could stand two blows
without feeling insulted, but when
George raised the whip to strike third
time, he suddenly discovered that he was
1T the wrong end of the mule, for the
animal "let fly" and struck George about
5he ear, cutting great cash which DIR.
Ewing sewed up. The next time George
undertakes to hit mule he will strike
him with ten-foot pole. -. A man CIV
ng his name as Coldirons, or something
ike that, was taken through Wellston
today, from Ironton, on his way to Tex
Is, for horse-stealing. 49,. Tom Lewis
,ame home, from Meigs County, to-day.
-. Elder Bingham was in to see the
Jones boys to-day. He found the boys
not in the best of spirits but Mr. John
Doles was happy as Kiug. John de-
,lares that incarceration in prison can't
shake the faith of good old Baptist (?)
ike himself. The boys were plagu-
ng Nara White about going back on a
friend about some buckwheat. 1t is the
business of the Standard to see that JUS
ice is done, and we inquired into the
matter. 1t seemed that the young man
offered an old lady two-bushel sack of
if she would carry it away.
Watching until he was gone to dinner
,he woman carried it out, and took it to
,he mill, when the young man "squealed,"
md paid drayman for hauling it back.
The lesson is: never to risk anything up
,n our own estimate of the strength of
others. -. Young American ingenuity
was aptly illustrated at the theater at
Jones' Hall tonight. A boy went in at
,he main entrance on ticket. He then
went over to the window in the east side
IF the building. Here, on the outside is a
stairway for fire-escape. On this stair
way was another boy, and the boy on the
inside slipped his ticket under the wind
DIV, and the boy on the outside took it
around to the main entrance and walked
in :. Jacob Kuehner is stepping high
tonight. The old boy has been getting
married again.
FRIDAY.-This being Washington's
birthday, the schools turned their decla-
nations into memorial exercises. 80.
Capt. James johnson was in town to-day,
looking up his brothers interest in the
stolen draft, and taking measures to stop
it's payment. We met the Capt. on the
street, and during the conversation which
ensued, we remarked that the attack on
Mr.. John johnson was case where a
"short shrift and ready rope" would
have been appropriate, had the robber
been caught. "Yes," replied the Capt, in
his jolly way, "the hickory bark will soon
be peeling, now, then we will be ready
for such villains. People were
watching the trains as they came in to-
day. half expecting to hear of new muir
der or robbery, by each train. -. Charley
Williams, of Wellston, brought Miss Min
ME Roberts down to the Jail to-day. Miss
Minnie is decidedly hard-looking case,
and a collection had to be taken up to buy
he1 a pair of shoes before leaving Wells
ton. When Charley and his prisoner
passed from the bus to the Jail, some
wretch cried out as that Williams wife p
The joke is, Charley is one of the finest
looking fellows in the County, and this
girl is one of the hardest looking cases
ever put into Jail. 49,. M. T. Van Pelt
the Wellston Attorney, came down this
afternoon to have a chat with his hosts
