DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

| The fire engine was backed into tht
old engine-house to-day. The house il
now moved over against Marshman 4
Cos. shop, and the horses have to be
hitched to the rear Of the engine to pull
it in. By the way, some men were guess
ing at the price of this fire engine few
days ago, when the outside limit reached
was sixteen hundred dollars. 1t cost,
with the reel, about ffty-siX hundred
dollars. -. Old Mr.. Tufts, the mechanic,
from Buffalo Skull, was in town to-day

at F1uhart'S to-day. $50. We heard man
| spouting on the street tonight, about the
enormities of a protective tariff, and the
iniquities of the Republican party in
general, and as we passed on the night
birds, the moths, and even the warm
breezes, sang to us a doleful tale of a
man who, in the good old Democratic
days, went around among the farmers
buying up horses at a good round price,
then compromising, with them for thirty
cents on the dollar. We wish such
thoughts wouldn't come up in ones mind
but they will. The G. A. R. boys
are getting ready for grand day on the
Sd. Committees are starting in their work
of arrangement and preparation. -.

Oliver West struck Marion Kessinger
oh ho with Nil oh of do Switch |
to-day, severely, but it was thought not
dangerously, injuring him. 1t is claimed
by those who claim to know that Kess-
niger ordered West out of the blacksmith
shop, and the latter refusing to go, the
former seized hammer for the purpose |
of assisting him in going, when West
seized a pick and struck back. -. Those
"bloo-koted monsters" Officers Owens

Ebert has got the campaign drawn on

An old friend stopped us on the street |
tonight and wanted to know if we had |
made the daily observation" that Ebert |
was placing the life of Democratic coal |
operator in danger. We assumed that we |
had an idea, but desired further informa- |
ton. "Well,' said he, "you know Ebert |
is trying to inflame the minds of the |
workingmen against the syndicates and
monopolies; and you also know that a
few weeks ago the boys up the creek
were cursing a Democratic operator for
being monopolist, and toady to the
Hooking Valley Syndicate. Now, the
question is, is there not danger to Demo-
cratic monopolists, in Ebert's harangues ?"
We replied that we did not think there
was anything, or anybody, in any OF
EberGS harangues. 49,. There was nice
refreshing shower this evening. "A well
known young attorney (?) was present
when Leo Ebert was looking over the
papers, to see the account of his some
what hasty departure from Coalton on
Tuesday morning. This fellow remarked
to Leo: 81 never read (hic) Sta71erd-

drunk to read double-leaded piea,,....

"Hurrahp' said one man. Another shout
ed: "Hurrah for Blainel" The crowd @
laughed. No man among them had the
cheek to hurrah, publicly, for the Buffalo
Bull. Ebert is doing noble work in
making Republican votes. He is about
the best stumper the Republicans have
