DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

:. WEDNEsDAY-A good indication "a
!. rain, is the old sign of moisture in th
creek-beds which have been dry for som
time The Base Ball Club of Chill
cothe came to town to-day to play gam
Q with the Jackson Club. A large crow
was in attendance, the Silver Cornet Ban,
! turning out and escorting the players &
the field. The game was closely con
tested one. although the Jackson boys dill
) the poorest playing, perhaps. that the.
have done this season. At the close O.
the ninth inning the score stood II to u
In the tenth, the Jacksons scored 2, retir
ing the Chillicothes, making the score Il
to 12. Jesse Laird did most of the pitch
ing for the Jackson Club. -. The jai
dog and Jones' white shepherd had g
fight this evening, in which both dogs
came near getting chewed up. p......New
pavement is to be laid in front of Mrs
McGhee's property on Broadway. 49,.
Mr.. Jefferson Dever, of Franklin Town
ship, was at the background to-day
watching the hard work of the players,
| sOuA OAu 41AC1u ShdAiCy D4Shesoob,
in passing, stopped at the base ball
ground, and, though speaking slightingly
of such amusement, soon caught the base
ball fever, and stood and watched COM
siderable portion of the game. 49,. Mr..
| Shutter, of Kahn's Addition, has been en-
ployed to guard the County Treasury at
night. 49,. Word has been received Of the
| death of Mrs. Morgan, daughter of our
old friend L. M. Beman, his daughter
Jessie, who was recently married.
There is a wonderful excitement on the
streets tonight about base ball. 1t is a
wonderful game-wonderful that men
will play it in red-hot weather-wonder-
full that scores of men will sit fiat down
in the dust for three hours, watching it.
THURsDAY.-Hal There it comes-a
good. heavy, soaking rain, refreshing
things generally. Joel Allen, of Leo,
is in town. The Sciotoville base ball
ers arrived in town, and played five in
nings. Result, Jackson II, Sciotoville TO-
IVES. Vaughn and Mr.. FMcCarley.
have been making cider for day or two,
at the orchards near Huron Furnace. -.
J. M Tripp and family got home to-day
Jim says that for ways that are dark and
tricks that are-Democratic the Missouri
Democrats are peculiar. There was
one man on Broadway street to-day who
was awfully mistaken. His name is
Irvine Jacobs, and he called colored
man liar, and got hold of the wrong
cOlored man. We don't know who he in
tended to call a liar, but the man he did
call liar was George Minor Ragland,
and no sooner had Jacobs made the re-
mark than Ragland shit him between the
nose," with the force of a small-sized
thunderbolt. That ended the dispute for
the present. Ragland is giant in size,
and one might as well be kicked by an
elephant as struck a square lick by him.
...... Dave Grifiths drove his delivery
wagon on the scales to-day, and under
took to drive down through, but only sue
ceeded in getting one wheel down. .....
The dust is certainly well laid, this even
ing. -. 1T is quite amusing to see the
groups of men and boys standing about |
the streets this evening, earnestly discuss
ing-base ball. There is certainly |
some of the richest grading of streets in |
the town of Jackson, of any town on the
globe. The aim has seemed to be in most |
instances, to get the street at least twenty |
inches higher than the sidewalk or pave
ment. During the ball game to-day
a foul ball flew back to a house on the +
left, and back of the batter's position,
where colored lady was sitting in the
door. The ball went in at the door-and |
so did the lady.
FRIDAY.-A grand, glorious rain to-
day -. The Sciotoville Base Ball Club
played with the Jackson Club again this
and cleaned the Jackson Club
out, bodily, the score standing 27 to in
favor of Sciotoville. Laird, the pitcher
Of the Jacksons, refused to play, owing
to a misunderstanding with one of the
Directors. Bratton and Baird played
with the Sciotovillains. -. Somebody
up at Springfield Mine to-day let four
freight cars get away from him, and if
they hadn't wrecked they would have
been going yet, in all probability. There
was slight track-jumping down at Rob I

into good shape, comp4fed with what it
was. The Sciotoville Club
went to Wellston this afternoon to play
ball with the Wellston boys. At the
close of the sixth inning the score was a
lie, to A. At the close of the game, the
score was, Wellston IL, Sciotoville 3d..
Joel S. French and E. d. Lewis went
squirrel-hunting to-day, but when they
got into the woods the squirrels had gone
DIFF on hunt, too. The deaf and
pitcher of the ciotovilles-"dummy" the !
boys call him-got hand hurt in the
Wellston game to-day. In the game here
in the morning, a foul ball tipped him on
the finger ends, and those nearest him de.
clare that he wasn't dumb at all, on that
occasion.
SATURDAY.-A delightful day, after
The big rain. Henry Phillips is in
town. -. Mrs. Paine of Hamden, anddz
Hon. Ell. S. Bundy of WellstOn were atc
the Isham House this morning. -. Hall
There comes an old-timer. Surely wei
have seen that tall form and swinging
gait 1t is our old-time friend James c.
Cadot, of Scioto County. "Jim" left
Jackson about fifteen years ago, and has
not been here since, until now. He for
merly had wagon-shop in the building
now occupied by Mr.. Pugh, as Conftc-
tionery. He married Mary Ann McQual-
ity. Cadot says the first familiar sight
which met his gaze on entering town
was the old John Nelson building, on
Main Street, near the Jones Hall. This
old building has stood unchanged through
all these years. 1t does one good to take
Jim by the hand again, and hear that the
