DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

| IN uGG anu Nll6, VI l. ulAStSC, SaLlN
down this evening to attend the Henso1
party. Mr.. Mutt reports lonesome tim'
at the furnace, which bids fair to con
tinue, as the furnace will not go int
blast this year, unless there should be {
material advancement in the price o.
iron. "A well known gentleman o1
color fell through front window of the
rancho, corner of Pearl and Portsmouth
streets, last night. The man was not Sc
| riously hurt, but the window was left in
bad state of preservation. wv. A
Persons, of Milton Township, was in
| yesterday, walking with a cane, and
seeming to be much afflicted. He is suf
fering from badly sprained ankle, which
injury has laid him up for the entire win.
ter. -. Joseph Bryant and wife were in
attendance, last night, at the wedding OF
Mr.. Bryant's daughter, Jessie, at the resi-
dence of Judge Longbon. How the time
flies! 1t seems but little while since
Mr.. Bryant, the almost unknown soldier
of the SD, amid some opposition, married
Miss Venetia Wooster. mother of Jessie,
who very much resembles her. Mr.. Bry-
ant and Miss Wooster became devotedly
attached to each other, and although he
was handsome, manly fellow, he was
utterly unknown to our citizens, and the
friends of the lady hesitated to consent
to the marriage. But there's always a
way, and our young friends conducted
their wedding in the form of surprise
to the "old folks" the wedding taking
place quietly at the home of a relative.
We repeat, this seems but short time
ago, yet poor Venetia, after short mar
ried life, died years ago, and here is Mr..
Bryant attending the wedding of their
daughter! We are all growing old rapid
lyl..... G. W. Rice went to Cincinnati
to-day.
TEURSDAY.-SamuelB Books in town to-
day. The Jackson Shooting Club
went down to Beaver to-day to clean out
the Beaver marksmen, but the Beaver
boys beat them. This makes the second
victory for Beaver over Jackson. The
Jackson boys seem disposed to profit by
the defeat, however, for upon their arri-
val here this evening, they took position
in the north end of town and kept up a
perfect fusilade until nearly dark, prac
ticing. 49,. We heard good anecdote re-
lated by well known citizen tonight,
with regard to an old granger living
of town, and who occasional
ly takes on too much liquor-even some
times getting into the lookup. The old
fellow brought a load of potatoes to town
and wanted to sell some of them to this
citizen. "Why, can buy all the potatoes
want at the stores" said the citizen.
" es, but you see get rid of the middle
men; / sell them direct to the consumer.
1espise middle men," said the granger.
On the very next Sunday the citizen was
sitting upon the street, in sight of dog
gerry. when he beheld the old granger go
other man to go in and get whisky for
him. as the doggery-keeper would not sell
TO the old fellow. When the man brought
put the liquor, and the old granger took
it and started away, the man to whom he
had tried to sell the potatoes called out:
We'll, didn't you find a middle man
mighty handy for once in your life?"
'Oh, you 60 to -" called he in reply,
as he hurried away with his liquor. ......
Rob. Cook moved to-day into the Palmer
next to the Valley House. .....
The silver poplars on Pearl street have
been trimmed, and the boys are having
4 big bonfire tonight. Strange that peo
Pile never learn to trim silver poplars.
The right way is to cut them off just
above the roots-then dig up the roots.
THE Franklin Mill Co. are taking
put their old boilers, and putting in new
steel boilers. These boilers are made in
Portsmouth, and will perhaps be the first
steel boilers used in the county. -. Now
that the thing is started, it is quite prob
able that the old Orange Common, or
Company Field" will soon be built up
in residences. And it is a pretty loca-
tion... The Court House has been
treated to iron-clad chimneys, the top of
the flues being encased in galvanized
iron.
FRIDAY.-There are six persons now
confined in Jail. deputy Steele went
to Berlin this afternoon. G. w. Rice
returned from Cincinnati to-day, bring
ing with him lithographic caricature
Of the Berner trial. 1t represents the
twelve jurors with ropes and nooses
swinging over their heads. Tom Camp
bell is represented as presenting boquet
to the prisoner, who has pair of wings
sprouting. There is also picture of the
murder of Kirk, and picture of Palmer,
the colored boy hanging to scaffold,
above which is the inscription: "Of course
and suggestive picture. -. The Court
House steps are beginning to give way
and crumble on the side next to the Jail.
Jim Kimberling is off for Balti-
more.
SATURDAY.-Elder E. W. Lloyd called
at this Office this morniug, declaring that
be was not lost, and that he was on his
way to Zaleski, where he was going to
claim any reward his congregation might
be willing to offer for his return. Mr..
Lloyd is one of the most energetic and
of our ministers. .... Our old
friend John Campbell, of Jimes, called
to-day. 1t does one good to take John by
the hand, and see his pleasant smile. .....
1t is as cold as winter tonight although
it has been pleasant all day. AS the
Standard passed the corner of Pearl and
Broadway to-day at noon, it noticed lot
of goods" consisting of a wash-stand, an
old stove, and numerous other pieces be-
longing to the paraphernalia of a barber
shop. A wash-stand had large card up
on it, bearing the suggestive inscription:
Next" This was the property of W. M.
Chew, and was set out by the Constable,
through some misunderstanding about
some rent for the room under Evens
Hunsinger s. Co.'S Store. The goods were
finally slowed away in the "fish-market.'
Capt. Grassland returned to-day
