...... There was jolly wedding, on Pos
ey Hill, last evening, Squire Moore offici-
ating On Monday night as three
young men-or rather boys-were COM
ing from class-meeting at M. E. Church,
they were stopped by an old man who
wanted them to show him where he could
stay all night. They took him to a board
ing house, but on the way discovered
that he was afflicted with new species
of Snakes" He imagined the Cincin-
natl mob after him, and was very careful
about passing alleys or dark places. 1t
was ludicrous to see three sober Christian
boys protecting and guarding the wretch
ed old rake to a place of shelter. 80. The
wild geese were making wild discord last
night, as they winged their way north
ward. The dog-poisoner should re-
member that it is far more merciful and
manly to shoot the animals than to pois-
on them. The streets of this town
present a most ridiculous piece of grad
ing, in many localities. On Portsmouth
Street at one point, the cinder is stacked
up at least a foot above the road-bed pro-
per, and teams drive down along the
sides, making swamp on each side of
the ridge. The idea of building up the
streets so as to run the water onto the
pavement, is most ridiculously absurd.
The opposite plan should be pursued.
THURsDAY.-Mr. and Mrs. J. @. Bran
son left to-day for Illinois, to make Wis
it of some ten days. Politicians all
out summing themselves to-day. Ell
mer c. Powell has moved into the house
recently purchased by him. While
Dick Stiffler was cleaning the windows in
the front of Runners Store, there was
crash which sounded like Barnum's white
elephant had jumped through glass
house, and one Of the glass tumbled in
to heap on the pavement. Dick hardly
knew how he did it, it was so suddenly
smashed. 49,. William G. Nicholas, for
merly of Wellston, but now of Oak Hill,
called to-day. He will work at the mar
BILE business in Oak Hill. His mother,
Mrs. John Phillips, has had a severe at
tack of typhoid fever, and is just recover
ing. g..... Mr.. Daniel D. Morgan, of Madi-
son township, called to-day. That
jolliest all men, Grimsley Poor called to-
day. He is candidate for Justice of the
Peace this Spring. Now, here comes
our old friend Bundy, and if there ever
was man whom it is delightful to see,
that man is Bundy. There is always a
pleasant chat, and deal of fun, when
Bundy is aroused. :. AT the Conven-
tion tonight the Chairman requested
that there be no smoking, but there was,
and lots of it. 49,. They tell good story
of joke perpetrated by the two Banks
of this place. An old gentleman recently
at the National Bank with a
gun, which he wished to deposit as secur-
ity for ten dollars which he wished to
borrow. Armstrong told him that he
was in the wrong Bank-the Iron Bank
was the place. Over he went, and pre-
sented the gun to Sutherland, and de-
manded ten dollars. He was informed
that he was in the wrong Bank. "BHt
he told me this was the place." said the
man. "why said the Iron Banker, didn't
you see that big room in the rear of the
National Bank, where they kept the guns
we have no store room here" And the
old gentleman left, convinced that these
Bankers don't know how to keep a pawn
shop, and that he and the gun would both
"go Off" Irvine DUNCAN and family
have moved over on West Street, near
the residence of Will L. Tripp.

Pike County, called at this office to-day
Milton Township, in the County. $50.
Earl Horton, son of W. II. Horton, was
thrown from Ed. Horizons oil wagon, and
was considerably bruised. 80. Little Ho-
mer Trip, son of ]. NJ. Tripp, was rid
ing rapidly down Sycamore street, ON
tricycle., to-day, when a gate swung open,
throwing him over and bruising his nose
until the blood flowed freely. By the
way, riding down the hills SO rapidly on
the little vehicles is sort of dangerous
business. .... Mr.. John Sheirs, of Centre
vile, Gallia County, is visiting friends
here to-day. y..... Matte, little daughter
of G. W. Rice, is sick to-day DR.. J.
