| their horses decorated with sleigh-bells
and also having cow-bells hanging on tn
neek-yokes and single-trees. These bell
made wild music, and it always did seen
to us beautiful domestic picture to SCI
calf following a cow-bell. Mr.. Cas-
tor took little exercise on the streets to
day, shoveling snow and ice. 1t is to b.
hoped that by another term of Court sew
eral more of these Devils Agents will
get an opportunity to air themselves fol
the public's benefit. -: The snow-shov

A few days ago Mrs. Carr lost fine gol6
bracelet. To-day Mr.. Harmon Bum
brought the bracelet to town, and hunted
up it's owner. 1t was recovered through
having her name engraved upon it,.
The Russell boys, brought before the
Mayor for the affray in which an ak was

I'VE dropped in at the NJ. E. Church

talk upon the subject of Christian love
and there were prayers by Rev. F. S. Dav-
is, Rev. A. w. Long, j. w. Laird and
David Randall. The meeting was well
-. Preaching service at Pres
byterian Church, and prayeI-mee ting at
Christian Church tonight.
THURsDAY.-Warm to-day, with a
slight, drizZling rain. -. Franklin Claar,
4 son of Madison Claar, of Liberty Town
ship, recently died very suddenly-caused
oy exposure resulting in lung trouble-at
Joalton. He was buried to-day. He
'ormerly resided short distance down
Salt Greek, in Liberty Township, if we
mistake not. His wife, we under
tand, is also afflicted with consumption.
-. How often one is mistaken in the
appearance of things in this treacherous
world. To-day at noon we were passing
long Portsmouth Street, back of the
school House, when a number of boys
rom ten to twelve years of age, came
unning across the back lot of the School
Iouse yard, and one of them began climb
ng the fence, when snow ball came
cry near to him. Now there is nothing
o pleasing to our sight as the bright,
School children of Jack
on, and this boy climbing the fence was |
he very picture of innocence, but as the |
now ball came whizzing by him he bawl- |
d out: "Oh, damn you, I know which |
ne O you done it, an I'll fix you" Then
ur admiration of the innocent school-boy |
7as all gone, and we Intensely longed for |
good lively shingle, and the right to use |
); as we passed along, there kept running |
trough our mind the great truth spare |
he shingle and spoil the child. ."........
Iarshal Owens thinks this town needs a |
hat the Council might make several |
eeded improvements in the affairs of the |
own, which fact has perhaps been over
ooked. For instance, the Corporation |
ays ta0o hundred dollars a gear for a lit
lie room for Mayors Office and Council |
;hamber, and yet the Mayor has to hold |
very important trial in the Court House. |
he fire-engine house is a model of incon- |
the hose being piled into the |
anne room with the engine, necessitating |
he taking out of the engine before the |
ose-which should be the first thing out |
can be gotten out. Then there is no |
revision to keep the hose from freezing. |
hen the calaboose and it's surroundings |
enerally present a most filthy aspect. |
IL these are not causes for blaming the |
'ouncil. We only speak of them because
; might be better to waste less money on |
Mayors Office, and spend more in TAX
ng care of the municipal property.
FRIDAY.-Snowing again this morning, |
ut blew up cold again towards noon.
We saw our old friend G. W. Whitman |
Bufford) of Wellston. laboring along the |
treets this morning. He is almost una
lie to walk, from rheumatism. -. Abe |
tankin, of Coalition, an old and much-es-
eemed friend of the Standard, called |
his morning. .... Mr.. Pollock has closed |
ut the Dickson Store, and is winding |
p the business. Dickson is very weak.
The Times-Star this morning gives |
good deal of space to writing up Milt. c. |
keenan,. But the Star cannot cast its |
ays upon him sufficiently clearly to To-
ate his exact whereabouts. One who |
would naturally be supposed to be as
Iear and dear to him as any one on earth, |
the belief few days ago that
le was somewhere in Canada. MiIt. has
'een hiding pretty shrewdly, but if the
authorities should send Tom Henderson,
Alf. Burnett or the Wellston detective
fter him, he's goner. The boys claim
hat Tom had three revolvers with him
when he went to Kentucky after Fraley,
md that the Kentucky authorizes gave
i'm about three minutes in which to
cave the State. I've have heard it on
pretty good authority that the fellows
on the chain-gang are permitted
o go to the doggeries and drink. We
rust this is not true. If it is, it is an
outrage, and ought to be stopped. .......
We saw man on the street to-day with
poor sickly looking rabbit which had
for itself left its burrow.
