ter, falling heavily. He was some bruis-
ed, and shook up, but not seriously hurt
we believe. DIR. B. F. Kitchen was neal
and promptly attended the old gentleman
Our daily observations to- day took in a
dinner party at the residence of w. T
Price, that is, we took in the dinner-or
a very considerable portion of it-nOt the
party. Mr.. j. E. Price, who was present.
has lately returned from Washington City,
where he took time to see all the sights
possible in the time he had. The M.
E. Social tonight at the residence of Prof.
j. E. Kinnison was very pleasant affair,
and was largely attended. These Socials
partake of the nature of happy family
gathsrings, and none have passed off more
happily than this evening spent with the
Professor and his good lady. -. Rev. Mr..
Mills, of Cleveland. lectured to a good
audience, tonight, at the Court House,
on the subject of Temperance. Mr.. Mills
is fluent talker, of pleasing address, and
/ spoke for an hour and a half, his principal
line of argument being that every great
| question in American politics had called
forth party to its advocacy, and that
now the question crying to the people for
vigorous action, is the Temperance or
Prohibition question. He called for all
those who would by so doing pledge
| themselves not to vote hereafter for men
| who are not in favor of Prohibition, to
stand up. But a very few stood up, from
the fact that there was no reason or pro-
priety for any such request. There were
| men present who had perhaps done more
| for the cause of Prohibition than the
| speaker, yet did not feel like pledging
| themselves to refrain from voting unless
there CHANGED to be a Prohibitionist be-
fore the people. If he had said "between
two candidates, where one is a Temper
ance man, choose that man." the vote
would have been larger. Our young friend
John Douglass remarked that such voting
always reminded him of the little boy
who was at revival meeting, when a
rising vote was called for The little fel-
low lived on creek called Bullskin The
minister called out: "All who want to go
to Heaven, stand up The little boy re-
mained seated. The minister noticed him,
and said: Little boy, do you want to go
to Heaven ?" mo, sirp DO you want
to go to HELP" "Nol 1 don't want ter
go nowhere-Pap an Nam wuz raised, an
alluz lived, on Bullskin, an I'd as leave
stay thar as anywherep'
FRIDAY-Mrs Cornie Baker and Mr..
Lang McGhee called to-day 49,. The ore
trains have been taken off of the Ports
mouth Branch, and things are little
more lonely now. The great stores
of eggs in town show that the hens
are getting in their Spring work. ....
There are too many dogs in Jackson. A
general exodus of dogs, for the happy
hunting grounds, would be an excellent
thing. ..... There was great light seen
at an early hour this morning in the di-
rection of Wellston. There was much
conjecture as to what it probably was,
but the mystery was not solved until the
morning train came down, when it was
learned that the Walker House, at Wells
ton was burned to the ground. I'VE
are of the opinion that the Mayors Office
is a little too far away from a saloon, for
some litigants who may come before the
Court. "A number of miners were on
the street to-day. ENJOYING their own fun,
when one, young man, came along with
a basket on his arm. "Where are you GO
ing?" asked Henry --, jolly young
fellow. Il am going to the conlnissary,
to get my weeks supplies" answered the
man. swell you needn't go" said the
first speaker, because there was nothing
in the commissary this morning but some
sassafras roots, and Jo.- got all OIL
them !".. The "Injin" Doctor is in
jolly mood tonight, and is having good
time with his young friends. -. Mr..
Sam. Overly was a witness before the
Mayors Court to-day. -. Several young
people went to Wellston last night to at
tend a dance. IA Railroad man said
today that the exodus of miners was al
ready making Coalition look very lone
some. The blackbirds are making
merry music. and waiting to pay their
respects to early complaining.
SATURDAY.-A beautiful Spring day.
This weather is stocking the market
with a good quality of maple sugar. Har-
mon Bum, Hiram Steward, and perhaps
Others, brought in quantities of the good
Old-fashioned article 49,. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shropshire went home to-day. Nara
White went to Rio Grande. IA man
came into the Store of Farrar & Evens
tonight, to make some purchases. He
was badly afflicted with cold, and was
vigorously swearing at the weather.
"Why," said he, "you haven't had any win
ter here at all-there has not been cold
weather enough to make man put on
underclothing." Well, if twenty degrees
below zero would not make a man put on
his underclothing, what would p. DR.
Johnson went to Irwin's Station to-day
to visit two sons of Mr.. B. B. Evans. They
are afflicted with sickness resulting from
cold. -. Speaking of Mr.. Cherington
selling his fine horse, calls up the expert
ences of some other local stock dealers, in
handling fine stock. In the line of pork
ers, J. NJ. Evens has introduced the Gus
tom of dealing in fine, blooded stock. The
| first of these was purchased a short time
ago. 1t is spoiled angus pig" has no
ears; there is only hair on portion of
the body, and if our informant gave us
the right description, it has pair of good
eyes-that is, one is just as good as the
other-can't see out of either. In eating,
| this breed is peculiar. He takes hold of
| the trough with his teeth-he has teeth
| braces himself and sucks himself full of
| wind. Mr. E. did not have time to give
the necessary attention to the care of the
stock, and sold the animal to the Sexton
of the Cemetery, Mr. Rice. Matt. thought
the animal would look better in grave
yard. Harry Sherbourne has been to
Indianapolis on business. He reports the
coal business lively in Indiana, but miners
pouring in very rapidly.
| SUNDAY-The greatest feature of this
day was the Bible Society Anniversary,
held at Nj. E. Church. The building was
not near large enough to accommodate
| the vast crowd of people who came. Ev-
