Quarterly Meeting next Saturday evening
and Sunday, at M. E. Church.
MoNDAY.-A stranger is here to-day
talking of building permanent skating
rink, large brick building. Among
the "reminiscences of the past we heard
recounted tonight, was one of "Old Pete
Morgan who used to dig wells about
this place. Many years ago the well at
the hotel of Mr.. Andres, where Mrs. Ora
hams store is located showed signs ofgo-
| ing dry, and Pete was sent for to clean it
out. He came, went down into the well,
and after making an examination, came
up and declared that the well would have
to be sunk several feet deeper. He finally
secured the contract. as he declared that
he could "hear the wather a-warin," just
below the bottom of the well. He took
suddenly ill, however, and inquired if there
was any camphor in the house. The lady
of the house produced large bottle of
camphor and whisky, and, supposing the
sick man would battle his head with it,
set it down on the porch. Peter seized
the bottle, and drank nearly all Of iti
That settled the business for that well.
Pete was not "well" enough to strike wa
ter for some time. 1t was afterward dis
covered that he had managed to stop the
flow of water by plugging and daubing at
the bottom, and thus secured the job he
could not do. Old Pete always used the
proverbial forked stick to find water"
Several new recruits were mustered
into the G. A. r. tonight. There was
an alarm of fire to-day about one o'clock,
turned in from Star Furnace. The hors-
es were at Huron Furnace, half mile on
the opposite side of the engine house, and
three quarters of a mile from the fire.
The fremen were all at their posts in less
than two minutes, but it was five minutes
before the horses could be unhitched from
the wagon and cart, and run the distance, |
then they were pretty well winded. The |
fire was in small dwelling house, and |
easily put out by buckets. One of two
,hings ought to be done-either the horses
should be kept in town, or the engine and
eel should be moved out to Huron Fur
1ace.
TUESDAY, alarm of fire to-
lay, caused by small blaze in the resi-
lence of Mrs. Douglass, on West Street.
The engine horses were out toward Huron
Furnace again. but within three minutes
# the time of the first alarm, they were
,ulling the engine out to the fire, which
vas extinguished before the engine arriv-
d. Word has been received of the
eath of Mrs Smith TOwnsley, of New

Davis Tope has gone to Nebraska.

While thinking of the contemplated
Reunion of the 53rd Regiment, there
comes up before US the time and manner
of the departure of the Regiment from
this place, in 1862. The boys had become
tired of the monotony of camp-life at
Diamond, and on the night on which
marching orders were received, Capt. J.
r. Percy was at our house. He was sick,
and was persuaded to go to bed and re-
main over night. Away in the still hours
of the night the shrek of a railroad en-
gine was heard, coming from the direction
of Portsmouth, the whistle blowing for a
distance of half mile or more. Shortly
after the train arrived in town, a vigorous
and hasty knock was heard at our door,
and the well-known voice of Francis
Smith cold Frank was heard excitedly
calling: Captain, Captain, get up!
: We've got orders to march J" The boys
commenced going that night, and by the
next night all had gone. That was the
last time the people of Jackson ever saw
"Old Frank" or Capt. Percy, two as brave
and honest men as ever lived. We saw
Capt. Percy once afterward, in Cincinnati
and finer looking officer we scarcely
ever saw.~

WEED WANDERS WESTWARD
A Sudden Impulse And A Hasty
Departure!

For some time young man named M
L. Weed has been selling goods at Whel
don, little mining hamlet, up the Horse
Creek branch of the o. S. Railroad. Mr.
Alex. Patton was in partnership with
him. Mr.. Weed was considered one OF
our best young men, as far as we know a
man of undoubted integrity. One day
| last week Mr.. Weed came to town having,
| it is claimed, considerable sum of money,
which he was to deposit in bank here, as
it was the firms money. Instead of doing
this, be checked out the money in Bank
belonging to the firm, about $4,000, and
left for Kansas. 1t is not known exactly
how much money he took with him, or
why he took this sudden freak at ALL as
the business of the firm was not in such
shape as to warrant a feeling of despera-
tion on the part of the members. W. C.
Evans was appointed assignee, to settle
up the firms business.
This sudden departure calls to mind the
freak of brother of this young man,
some years ago. He suddenly went off to
the west, leaving wife in this county,
and for long time nothing was heard of
him, and when his friends were about
ready to give up ever hearing from him
again, one of them received letter pur-
porting to have been written by board
ing-house keeper where the missing man
was boarding, and a correspondence was
thus gotten up with him, which resulted,
we believe, in his wife going to him.
The Weed family is one of the best
families in the county, and it is unfortu-
nate that Luther has given people an op-
portunity to doubt his integrity. Several
of the boys were brave soldiers during the
war. and have ever been excellent citizens. |

AS to the matter of a Rolling Mill in
Jackson County, the very best place in all
the County, for such an establishment,
is at the Huron Furnace, half a mile
southwest of the Court House, at this
place. The grounds are beautifully adap-
ted to such an enterprise, there is an abun-
dant supply of pure, soft water which
can be pumped up on the spot, and a
Switch graded to the c. W. & B. Railroad.
Besides this, the Huron is a good furnace
property, and cGuld be repaired in short
time, at little expense. This, with Trop-
ic-which could be started at slight ex-
pense-would give four furnaces, all con-
nected by rail, the furthest not being a
mile from the mill. There is not a spot
in the State of Ohio better suited by all
considerations for Rolling Mill, than
this.
