he was lying down, did not at once dis
turb him. When his wife went to hin
she found him completely overcome, bu
he rallied after while, and is getting
ting along all right. Jonathan Trek
ler's house, the Hobby property, neal
town, was struck by lightning, nobody
hurt = Ez Jordan had horse consid
erably hurt at the HORSEBACK at Rice's
Store to-day. The animal by some means
tore considerable wound in its breast
supposed by some to have been done on q
nail, or splinter, but somehow, on the
rack. johnny Kyle, Evan Lewis, a
gun, a horse, and buggy, started out
yesterday, across the red bridge We did
not get the order of their return, as they
came back in sections. The horse had
the most fun, until he himself fell fiat.
There was scare in jamestown, and a
general splitting business from that back
to near Kyle's residence. -. About one
o'clock this morAing the people were
awakened by a Vigorous ringing of the
fire bell, caused by an intense, roaring
flame in the direction of the old Fair
Ground. Running in that direction, it
was discovered that the stable OF the
property owned by Mark Sternberger-
the old Reasoner property, on South
Street-was mass of flames. In an in
credibly short time. considering the cir
cumstances, the engine was set at the
Baptist Church cistern, the hose run
down to the fire, and the flames soon gave
way beneath the well-directed stream of
water. This stable was in thicldy-set-
tied neighborhood, near the fine houses
of b. G. Allender, Evan M. Thomas, and
TT. Edwards, and it was a fortunate
thing that there was no wind blowing at
the time. There was a small lot of hay
and corn in the stable the building being
used by Mr. John L. Ramsey as q stable
and carriage house. This was burned,
together with Mr.. Ramsey's fine sleigh.
But shell of the stable was left. Our
fire company has gotten into such excel
lent training that it has few equals, and
should receive praise and encouragement
from our citizens. Although the firemen,
and driver were at home, in bed, when
the alarm was given, and were compelled
to get up, dress, run to the engine-house,
hitch up, and get to the scene of the fire,
it could not have been five minutes from
the time of the alarm until they were
throwing water. .... Joshua Lewis, OF
Oak Hill, is in town to-day. The old
gentleman is still in the jewelry business
Misses Maggie and Cora Miller, and Ber-
tha Sternberger, returned home from
their visits. George Blagg moved into

Hon. Wells A. Hutchins is in town..
The evil-minded young men are telling
to-day that Jakey Steinberger was seen
last night running a long distance to the
fire, with pitcher of water in his hand.

Boys are billing the town for their grand
musical entertainment at the big Rink.
I'VE acknowledge a serenade to-
night by Albert Moriarty, Brough Hoop
and other young gentleman. The music
harp and guitar-was perfectly lovely.
THURsDAY.-Elder III. j. Carr is able to
be out some to-day. and took short bug
gy-ride about his place. The old gentle
man had very close call of it, to live
through his recent severe illness. ...-.
Ramsey is in to-day. He has put up Il
new stable upon his lot on Broadway and
South Streets, and 1t is to be hoped that if
an incendiary attempts to burn this, some
one will "shoot him on the spot" -.
John Phillips q in to-day. He is running
a large coaling contract for Jefferson Fur
mace Company, in the lower end of .Jeffer-
son Township, and shipping the coal to
the Furnace. Capt Yochem is acting
as night-watchman in the County Treas
ury The town was startled by the
sad news of Gen. Grants death, this morn
ing, and immediately innumerable flags
and emblems of mourning were put out.
The hall of the G. A. r. Post was beauti-
fully decorated. A large portrait of the
General was placed ON the front of the
building, and above the picture the word
"Appomattox," with two swords crossed
above. This was center-piece from
which stretched away q wealth of mourn
ing emblens. Many an old soldier feels
to-day that he has lost dear friend
Many of the bells in town were tolled in
the forenoon, and at eleven o'clock the
citizens met to take public action.
Mrs c. G. James has returned from hel
visit to Portsmouth. Nv. L. Price re-
turned from Cincinnati. An attempt
was made to get the Executive Commit
tee and members of the Reading Room
Association to meet to night, to take some
action looking to the disposition of the
books belon ging to the Reading Room
but there were not enough persons pres
ent to take any action. Something viii
have to be done with these books, and tn,
first thing to do is to return to the donors
all the books and other articles donated
to the Room. There are some valuable
books there lying in the boxes, and it il
not right to permit them to go to ruiz
thus. -. Special meeting of Francis
