THE New Year was ushered in, in St.
Clairsville, by the ringing of the court t
house and different church bells, music
by the band. and shooting of revolvers,
Sc, by the rest of the male population
who had stayed up to watch out the old
year. At five minutes of IL. the bells
were tolled for the death of 1888, and
when the new year came in, the strokes
were changed to the rapid ones of thr
fire alarm, which had the effect of start
ling some who were suddenly awakened
from their sleep, and did not recollect
what was the occasion for the ringing.
The band played select pieces in all parts
of town. and did not retire until the year
was two or three hours old. and made
some of the best music they ever did
It is to be regretted that the general
good feeling and enjoyment of the time
had to be destroyed by some rowdies, who
with their revolvers, shot through some
of the street lamps on Marietta street
They should be hunted up, and made to
suffer the full penalty of the law. The
day was not generally observed as holi
day, but the bank was closed, and the
postoffice kept holiday hours 1t was a
dark, rainy day-too gloomy for first
class opening.
