=. Mrs. r. Loft received word of the
death of her brother-in-law, at Wheeling, |
and went. with her husband, to attend
the funeral 49, This hot weather some |
what intensifies the heat of the stories |
told on the shady sides of the streets. |
Speaking of moving, a well-known cltl-
zen tells of the experience ofa man whom |
we will call John Poor, for the present.
Johns only difficulty in moving with
scythe was that he swung the scythe so
fast that the blade became so much heated
that it was continually bending; besides,
the heat would contract the handle so that
the rings would slip and loosen the blade.
He could, therefore, only NOW success
fully when the grass was wet. There
was minstrel" show on the street to-
night, free, and drew n considerable
crowd. -. Thomas Jones (North) has
been suffering from an attack of cholera
morbus. -. AS to the matter of bare
back riding, Tom Moore, the young attor-
ney, tells of a bit of experience of his
own which perhaps has not a parallel
among our people, in the way of eques-
trian experiences. Tom lived over in
Pike County, when they had a large buck
deer, pet, in the Court House yard. This
animal was very tame, and any amount
of liberty could be taken with it. One
day Tom was playing with the deer, and
jumped upon his back ! Talk about
John Gilpin's ridel Tom says he never
knew how fast a boy could 60 through
that Court House hall before. He finally
fell off, when the animal turned and at
tempted 20 stamp him. He then and
there went out of the business of break
ing buck deer to ride.
SATURDAY.-The remains of l.. G.
Hayes, son of the late William, Hayes,
were brought here this morning, from

John G. Jones and bride came up on the
train this morning. &c. 5. Dickson
started down street with a fine watermel-
on, this evening, and temporarily left it
upon the street while he went upon an er
rand. He returned just in time to see an
individual making off with his melon, in
a time which beat Maud SIS 2:OS24. Char
ley invited the fellow to stop, but he real
ly hadn't time, and couldn't think of such
a thing. The only consolation Charley
has left is that that watermelon will ap-
pear against that fellow in the judgment.
49,. "A little show of some kind at Getty
Hall" is catching the small boys. .....
Jim McKitterick takes fine drove of cat
tie through town. -. Merchants who
