DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

i WEDNEsDAY.-Agr great snow-storm, ant
the sleigh-bells are jingling, even the snow
plow horses having bells on. The snow
plow, or scraper, by the way, is a goot
thing. -. Norris L. Sternberger started
to Chicago on Monday, and came back to
day. He only got as far as Indianapolis
the road beyond that point being block
AIDED by snow. Morris says the sigma
station ran up the flag, signaling another
storm, and he came home in disgust.
Sheriff Lively was not to be outdone by
the prisoners who broke Jail, and at once
got Marshal Owens on their track. Bill
went down the road to the Oak Hill
neighborhood, yesterday and caught
| Thomas Harrison, and lodged him in Jail
last night We had pleasant visit
this morning from Mr.. M. Gilmor, one of
tion of country. One of the large
hog" engines was off the track three
times on the Ohio Southern side-tracks,
this morning. ..... Miss Grace Long was
at Wellston last night. Jim Burt had
the most unique turnout in the way of a
sleigh. 1t consisted of an old ladder, with
a nail-keg. The harness was equally plain.
Upon this Jim enjoyed himself with the
best of them. -. Miss Lou VOnschriltZ
is back from her visit to Lawrence and
SciOto Counties. The Roller Skate
men did not put in an appearance tonight
as advertised. -. Captain Harding does
not act as Fire Warden. The two offices
are separate and distinct now. The
officers now meet in the new City Build
ing, on Pearl. j udge Miller was down
to SET Uncle Johnny Williams yesterday.
The old gentleman is very weak. Mr..
and Mrs. Wes. Williams, living short
distance in the country, have new baby.
IAN old and intelligent farmer, to-
day, speaking of the meanness of the pris-
oners in assaulting the Sheriff and trying
to break out, said that eff he were the
Sheriff, he'd compel those fellows to get
down and place their wash-basins on the
floor, after this" And it would perhaps
have good effect for the officer to cur
tail their privileges very materially, and
give them dose of discipline. AS it is,
this little break will not, perhaps, tend to
tighten their load of guilt before the Court.
.Pritchard, one of the escaped prison
ers, was tracked into the Springfield Mine,
by Deputy William Howe. Of course
it was useless for the officer to search in
a strange mine for him, but Johnny Hays.
bank boss, soon settled all doubts in the
matter by ordering his men, who know
every inch of the mine, to go in and bring |
,he man out. They did it promptly. Mr..
Hays deserves the thanks not only of the |
,fficers, but of the entire community, for |
hus promptly teaching escaped criminals |
hat they can find no place of refuge in |
lis mines.
THURsDAY.-A merry day of sleigh
iding. The boys are carrying the busi-
less of jumping on sleighs most too far.
There will be a runaway accident some
# these days, caused by this great mob
ushing pell-men at the passing sleds..
:. Met a School Teacher to-day who ask
d an opinion as to whether the flood, or
eneral deluge covered the entire earth.
'his is disputed point among those who
ave given earnest study to the subject
his teacher seemed inclined toward the
heory that the waters did not cover the
ntire earth, but only so much as was
ecessary to answer Gods purpose in de-
troying the uncleanness upon the earth.
'ut here comes in puZzler with regard to
hat theory. In the 7th. chapter of Cen
sis, 10th. passage, occurs this statement:
And all the high hills, that were under

GEMS tolerably comprehensive, at first
lance. How large is Heaven? If all the
Ugh hills under Heaven were covered,
here would not be enough dry land left
n which to hold a Wednesday-night
But, every man to his
leory. -. Our old friend John Chestnut,
allied to-day. He will number the houses
f this place, as soon as the weather will
ermit. Mr. Chestnut-who is broth
r of James Chestnut, of this place, came
, Jackson in 1856, and moved to Green
eld about 1868. He is a son-in-law of
'lias Hildenbrand. The old gentleman is
till living at Greenfield. .Messrs.

,airy, were out sleigh-riding to-day be-

ou want to draw in enough breath when
ou start to last until you get there. 80.

estigated the recent attempt to escape,
nd the boys showed him where they had
lmost succeeded in breaking out by saw
lg one of the bars with strand of wire,
aken from an old broom handle. Cutting
steel shank from boot, they scraped
ne bar or rod until they found tender
pot, and went to work with the wire,
