morning the bricks showed disposition
to tumble from the cornice of the Com
mercial Block. Fearfuily cold to-day,
and the wind blowing gale. George
W. c. Perry, of Byers, called to-day. He
seems to be in robust health, but is really
a great sufferer from a rupture. Mr..
Perry spoke of the recent accident to the
son of John Goodrich. He had been hunt
ing rabbits, and chased one into hole in
the hillside STOPPING down to look into
the hole, he put his gun-an old musket,
cut off-on the ground below him. He
claimed that the gun slipped and struck
| the hammer against rock, but the boy
who was with him claimed that he reach
ed and drew the gun toward him. By
some means the gun was discharged,
planting load of shot in his left breast.
DR.. Monahan, of Hamdedn. was called,
and at last accounts the injured man was
doing well. -. Some one went into d.
L. Pickrel & Co.'s store a night or two
ago, by means of hack window, and
when he discovered that he had attracted
attention, deliberately walked out the
front wav.. The firemen are drilling
the engine and reel horses to run to their
places at the tap of the bell. Mr.. Moore,
the driver of the engine team, says the
horses are already beginning to under
stand what is required of them. 1--WE
think the loveliest piece of frosted work
we ever saw was on the large plate-glass
windows of l.. w. French's store, to-
night. There was perfect wilderness OF
trees, shrubs, ferns, and other beautiful
designs. painted with more beauty than
could be done by mortal hands. Behind
these the bright lamps in the show win
dOws made the beautiful etchings stand
out like trees of silver with leaves of
pearl. 80. David Randall says his wife is
in poor health. -. Men may cry "butter!
butterr' but there is no butter, at the
stores tonight. One merchant informed
us that man had offerd to bring in sew
eral pounds, as soon as the price raised.
He has not kept it Ing enough vet. 1t
is not old enough to combat an adverse
market. AS soon as it can rely upon its
own strength, he will bringsit in.
SUNDAY.-A cold. dismal dav. 1t
their way to and from the Sabbath
and to note the half-gnilty look
of longing on the healthy young faces, AS
they pass the ice-ponds here and there.
There will always dwell in the human
mind pleasant memories of the jolly pas
time of good old-fashioned slide on the
ice. We believe Rev. L. L. Magee

Sunday seems like a "big day" in Jackson.
There are great crowds of people passing
to and from the different churches. and
the town seems filled with life and hap
piness. Jackson has. once in while,
some rough scenes-even on Sundav-but

lay in jackson. -. .Cnnsecratlon Meet

lanes Plummer. Trustee, of Bloomfield
township, is in town. -. "A man came to
Constable Baker with the wonderful in
formation that che knew man who
knew where Bill johnson was" but he
must have something for telling it. AS
Baker didn't know of ANYBODY who de-
'ired to invest nickel in Johnson, he
lidn't pursue the subject further. Ell
Ter Hendrickson goes to Wellston to-
morrow, to look after the interests of his
denomination at that place. -. Sam
McClung was the final sickness of several
logs yesterday, so we were informed. A
log that has too great fondness for
mutton ought to be sent to the other side

singer property near Huron, and Elder S.
Fl. Bingham will occupy the property now

passer-by on Portsmouth Street might |
have noticed a bright picture of the youth
that never fades, in two married ladies,
who, with the joy of children, were hav-
ing jolly slide on the little pond near
the street. It is one of the blessings of |
this life that we need never grow old.
