{ poor orphan in the shape of show
o appeared here to-day and gave an exhibi
q ton tonight. The old clown, Billy Glenn
is with it. In fact there are lots of tai

have been doubled. -. We are now hav-
ing splendid growing weather, warm and
nice. -. Commissioner Tripp is in town
.. to-day. -. Ed. Poor is investing in a
fine new hat this evening, and as coming
out in a style that becomes a handsome
man. =. "A Jackson man who was fixing
his property in good shape, was congrat-

his house, when he replied, Eyes, I like to
have things fixed so that can treat my
friends with something like hostility. 80.
Our old friend Wash. Poor is in town
to-day. 80. Hello! There goes the meat
man again! Adam Dempsey, who lives
in Milton township, had nice lot of
meat in his smoke house yesterday. To
day he hasn't any. Some greasy-minded
thief broke into his smoke-house last
| night and scarcely left grease spot, and
now Adam is living on @anti-fat." The
lard knows whose smoke-house will be
skinned next Sly was down day or
two ago for flag to carry in procession

Mr.. Pickrel begins to look feeble.
FRIDAY.-The commencement exer-
cises at Jones' Hall. last night were
grand success in every particular. The
stage was beautifully decorated with
flowers, and these, with the pretty cos
TUNES of the ladies, presented decidedly
brilliant spectacle. -. Bill Gilmore,
little colored boy living south of town,
threw stone to-day, and struck a little
daughter of S. ]. Long, cutting cash in
her head. IA certain young Jackson
man went over to Waverly to-day and
| ,

Starkey, the gentlemanly agent at the
Ohio Southern Depot was made the vic
tim of a cruel exposure on the way from :
Waverly this afternoon. George WHEEL
don, the conductor on the train came to
Joel and demanded to know what he had
in his pocket. Joel mechanically dropped
his hand into his pocket and hauled oat q +
pint bottle, nearly full of whisky. The
merry twinkle in Wheldon's eyes gave
the thing away as joke, and the con- l
vulsive laughter of Deputy Sheriff Yves.
Steele, indicated who had set it up on
Joel. -. Our old friend Adam Butcher
gave the Jackson folks serenade at {
this evening. The selec-
lions were rendered by placing leaf in !
his mouth, and blowing upon it,. O
over to Waverly to-day. Mr.. Campbell
thinks Sam. Fraley can be gotten, but i,
the surroundings in which he is thought !
to be are dangerous, and it will be risky ?
business to go after him. And the people n
Of the county will not be apt to care L
much whether he is ever caught or not ?
-. .Rittenhouse's Show is not having
tip-top time in Waverly to-day. I'VE I
met Harvey Rockwell to-day on the
train. He is running mill at Beaver !
town. 49,. One of the uncertainties of
Railroad travel was illustrated at the
Waverly depot to-day. An empty coach {
was standing on the side track, and it 7
was reported to be going to Jackson by =
the mail train. A large number of per- !
sons, including Sheriff Cherington, Prose J
cutor Powell, Moses Sternberger, and
others got in, the coach was run in by J
the yard engine and coupled to the mail,
when Conductor Wheldon politely in
formed the people that he had no orders
to bring the car in, and it was side
tracked again. By this time the other
cars were filled, and there was sorry l
looking group standing in the other cars
SATURDAY.-This has been quite a
lively day in town. The show fever
struck the boys badly tonight and there ,

important part. One of the snakes
escaped from the menagerie few days
ago, crawled up on William Nealys steps, ,
when that gentleman killed it. -. 1t is :
not always safe to express ones opinion

"wigs," and making jesting remarks
about the wearing of them, when large
