DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

|
.....A young man named Will Humph-
fres got on tear last evening, and fired
a shotgun at his wife, formerly Miss
| Meacham, some of the shot striking her
| in the arm. He then loaded up the wea-
pom again-a single.barrel gun-and pre-
of the Planning Mill, went over to reason
with viii. when he took after Evan, and
the latter declares he never knew how
fast he could run, before. Lew. New
ahner tried his hand as peace-maker, but
he didn't stay long. Marshal Owens was
then called. and Humphfres drew the gun
on him, but Owens worked a little STRAIT
egy on him, engaging his attention and
closing in on him gradually until he could
seize him. Humphfres was wild with
liquor, and was put in the calabeose until
he cooled off, when he was released on
bail. :. :. .Anselmn Matthews has been
having fun at the G. W. & B. stock-pens
to-day, trying to keep in some cattle be-
longing to Mr.. Oppenheimer, Henry Jones
and others. Matt. Evans put steer into
the pens and it ran up the chute made to
guide the cattle into the cars and leaped
down between the cars and the pens. A
bull belonging to Mr.. Oppenheimer scaled
mn thinks this bull can outrun the Buff
alo On. " Bull.
THURsDAY.-A gloomy day. "A Dem
ocratic jubilee was held last night at
Hamden. 49,. Charley Atkinson and
Master Louie went to Franklin Town
ship, hunting, to-day. -. An old citizen
who has been voting the Democratic
ticket every since Jackson's time, called
to-day, and in comparing the times now
with the times under Democratic admin
istration, declared that there was no
comparison-the times now being incom-
parably better than under the Democratic
rule. 49,. Our young friend John Heath
is in town tonight. He is now teaching
the Rice School, above town. The NJ.
E. Social, at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wellington c. Evans, tonight, was one
of the most enjoyable occasions we have
known in long time. In addition to a
goodly attendance Of the older members
of the Church, there was large turnout
of the young people. These were assign
ed room to themselves, where they en-
joyed the evening hugely, their conversa-
ton and laugter making merry music.
Master Ora and Miss Halle Evans played
host and hostess in this department, and
made everybody feel happy. Our old
friend Wellington was as merry as merry
could be, and Mrs. Evans was busy max
ing everything pleasant for the ladies.
These socials should be attended by all
old and young. An evening could not be
passed more pleasantly.
FRIDAY-A lovely Indian Summer
day. Miss Sadie Jones, one of the
teachers in the public schools, is sick
with fever. Miss Fannie Armstrong is
filling her place in the school. The
work of taking down the awnings has
begun. -. The town building, around
on Pearl street, will make things look
like business on that street again. Some
of the young people perhaps do not know
that Pearl, from the alley next the resi-
dence of John H.. Harding up to Colum-
Uld SlI0tU, uScu W UC LuO pdIU VI
town. Within this limit was c. M. Mar
tins store, Banister Browns grocery,
Harding's book store. Browns wagon
shop, Hoods blacksmith shop, and Gill
roy's Hotel. The hotel was where Mrs.
Jones now lives; the blacksmith shop
where Prices house stands; the wag on
shop where Mr.. Brookins' house stands !;
Martins store was at the corner of Pearl
and Church. Afterwards, the business
changed around on Broadway and Main
The upper end of Main on the Public
Square, is holding its own. There used
to be grocery where Geier's saloon now
is, another where Farrar & Evans are
now located, and another where Booth &
Poor now are. But the Jackson of those
good old Democratic times was vastly
different from the Jackson of the pres
ent. There is one business house in town
which remains unchanged-that is
Mother Sylvester's grocery, now used as
Downey's gunsmith shop.
SATURDAY.-There is one of the largest
crowds of people in town to-day, of any
Saturday for a long time. The streets are
full. -. The skaters are having fun at
jones' Hall tonight. AT Franklin
