DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

Importance of holy living as means
building up the Church, and promotiI
gospel work. 1t was a timely sermt
upon subject about which there seen
!. to be lack of knowledge on the part
good many people. We heard fello
not long ago deliver an angry dissert
ton upon the meanness of trying
break down mans character-and b
fore he was through talking, admitte
that he had just put in solid half hot
lying to minister about member of h
Church. Bro. Gum took the true groun,
that men should live so uprightly ths
there would be nothing to attack or col
denim. 49,. E. c. Powell is assisting th
carpenters this evening at his residenc,
By the way, Elmer is good carpenter, a
well as good lawyer. -. Our old frien
Samuel Lewis is in town to-day. 80.
Harper, the blind broom-salesman, is il
town. -. John Jones, plumber, came il
this evening. 49,. Matt. Evens got in thi
evening from trip looking after pun
chasable cattle. -. G. w. Rice is wres
Ting with the toothache tonight. w
suggest to the Commissioners that if the
cannot lease the old Jail, they might max
an honest penny now and then by rent
ing one of the smaller rooms for holdin.
Democratic political conventions in. Th
Music Hall is too large. -. .Rained al
most constantly to-day. &c. S. Dicka
son received, yesterday, by express, ;
small sack Of Kansas corn, which he~wil
plant. 49,. Johnny Clark, the popular
Agent of the G., W. & B., gave private
dancing party tonight. 1t was a pleas
ant affair and greatly enjoyed by the
young folks.
THURsDAY.-Creeks up, and rainy
weather. :. Marshal Owens was sub
penaed to Macarthur to-day, in the case
of Ohio VS.. jeff. Malone and Dave Bar
low. He got back on the afternoon train
the defendants having plead guilty and
received sentence of five years each in
the Penitentiary. Seems to us it would
have been better for these able bodied
young men to have earned, by honest
labor, the goods they stole. And they
will think SO before they get out. .....
Judge Miller to-day, on a writ of habeas
corpus, and discharged. This is the man
charged with cutting Carr and Mclean,
on the 29th of February. The officers had
another warrant. for him, but he eluded
them. He claims that it was his brother
who did the cutting. 80. James Harper
and family moved into the Stephenson
house, on Portsmouth street to-day.
Ed. Poor has his new house on South
street about ready for occupancy. Char
ley Schellenger will occupy part of it
The attorneys have meeting to-
day to consider proposition for renting
the old Jail building, and occupying it as
law offices. This would be convenience
to the public, as well as the attorneys. 1t
would save people from running about
hunting law offices, and would concen-
trate the entire law library of the town
in the one building. -. The G. A. r.
boys were on parade tonight for short
time, with flag, fife and drums. There
was drill at the old City Hall. The
'sheepskin band" and the tramp, tramp"
Of the soldiers, reminded one of the old
days of anxiety and bitterness, and as the
troops marched along the street, one half
expected to hear "Rah fur Vlaninham!"
come from the lookers-on. 49,. Fire En-
yineer Andres was out with the engine
today, practicing the new horses.
FRIDAY.-Cool -. Primaries to-day
were not largely attended. -. Mr.. Chap
man talks of renting the room now occu-
pied as the Reading Room, for business
office. This is one of the finest rooms in
town for an Office. Theodore Grose
IS painting his residence on Portsmouth
have had the fronts of their business
houses painted. Katie. little daughter
Of Will. Tripp. is quite SICK with some
hing like fever. Mamie, little daugh-
5er of Ben. Davis. gave party to her
young friends to-day. Two teams
came in to-day with ridge-poles for sheds
over brick-kilns. AS one of them passed
along Pearl street, some enthusiastic Re
publican cried out 'there goes the Blaine
pole. This was a crooked, ugly-looking
pole, and Tobe Trago's team brought in a
much longer and better looking one. And
Tobe is Democrat If the poles be
taken as "straws." the Tilden pole is
ahead. -. One of the sad consequences
by the visit of a show to our
town was noticeable this evening in
great gawky boy, nearly young man,
who was dressed in some outlandish tog-
gerry, with "clown hat" upon his head,
and was riding in wagon drawn by
dog. 1t was all the animal could do to
pull him but he kept driving the poor
brute along. -. The town horses were
hitched to the fire engine to-day and
driven at break-neck speed about town.
1t was clearly demonstrated that they can
pull the engine.
SATURDAY.-A large number of Wis
itors to town to-day. The Republican
Convention was splendid body of men,
being in the delegations. "A couple of
old friends tackled us this evening with
the assertion that Lively was the slowest
candidate on the ticket. One of them
"did not think he would vote for himp'
Both affected to laugh heartily at our
truthful statement that no man would
run better than Lively. The joke of the
matter is that one of these was personally
interested in another candidate, and the
other one has been voting part of the
Democratic ticket for years. None of
the Democrats seemed to want Lively
nominated. Somehow, we always get
the wrong men, according to our Demo-
cratic friends. -. Dave Edwards speech,
announcing Richard T. Jones name in
the Convention, was equal to one of
Mark Twain's after-dinner speeches. $50.
A great strapping boy was going about
the streets to-day with live black-snake
in his hands. The boys have the SHOW"
fever, badly, and some of them have been
