DAILY OBSERVATIONS.


WEDNEsDAY.-A neat job of surprising
was done last night at M. E. Church. The
membership concluded to make sur
prise donation to Rev. F. S. Davis, and
that gentleman was invited to tea at the
residence of Mr. G. w. Rice, Judge and
Mrs. Miller also being present. After
supper the Judge plead an engagement
to meet certain persons at his Office, Gre
ating the impression that he was going to
issue marriage license. Coming back
after the minister, the Judge informed
him that he was wanted down about the
Parsonage, which led him to believe that
he was expected to marry couple. Thus
was the minister uShered into a. church
filled with his friends. After being con-
Quoted to the altar and seated facing the
congregation, Mr.. and Mrs. Davis were
addressed by G.. A. Atkinson, in a neat
speech, presenting them with a number
of presents, including purse of one hun
dred dollars in silver coin, and set of
Exeter Hall Lectures. The couple were
much affected, and Mr.. Davis made a
somewhat sorry attempt at a rejoinder
expressive of his gratitude. The people
remained for some time in social enjoy
ment. -. Nat. Hoover is in to-day. He
is just completing Presbyterian Church
near Harrisons, in Liberty township.
-. ................Am man was in town
this morning with sleigh, thinking per-
haps that if there is no snow, it is at
least time for ill.,. The Updegraye
Brothers are taking in the dance tonight,
at Jones Hall. .... The noble red men
have gone to Wellston. -. There is an
old milestone on the property of Mr..
Kyle on the hill near Salt Greek, and on
Broadway street, which has been there
ever since the days of general musters."
49,. The corners of the buildings used
as doggeries, in portions of this town are
used for purposes that render them
great nuisance. There ought to be some
way of stopping this.
THURsDAY.-A summer day in winter
..... The Indians have gone, but a Chi
naman came in on the o. S. train this
evening. I'VE received the paper
spoken of in Mr.. Hanna's letter detailing
a visit to "Tessa's" family. His boys are
described as musical wonders, being COM
posers of music as well as excellent per-
formers. For instance: One son would
hold violin in one hand and finger the
strings, while he played the organ with
the other hand. The other son would
use the bow on the violin with one hand,
and play the other part on the organ
with the other hand. Thus each young
man played half part upon each instru-
ment. One would finger both violin and
bass-viol while the other used both bows.
These performances certainly require
great skill. No wonder "Tessa" is proud
of his family 80. The Updegrayes gave
an exhibition at the Rink again tonight.
There was little breeze between the
Band boys and the management, and the
number of players was reduced consid-
erably. There was considerable feeling
displayed but happily no serious results. :.
DIR. J. b. johnson removed cancer
from Mrs. Peters, a relative we believe
of Mr.. Hugh Gilliland. -. The Little 10
Band dance last night was success
financially. There are some points On
Portsmouth street where Council should
as soon as practicable, put in two or
IDT00 CHEAP CIOSoluSo- AOdl
where the old shaft is located, near the
residence of Mrs. Booth, and near Moses
Jones' residence. These places are almost
impossible in winter. A great number
of people travel this route daily. C. M
Richards, of Wellston, called. 49, "A man
has been about town for some days OF
ganizing among our merchants-or rather
some of them-a Protective Union,' fol
the collection of claims. -. jackson is
to have laundry. We would advise the
small boys not to boot at strangers, tht
way some of them did at the Chinamar
this afternoon. That kind of work il
played out.

A dance tonight at Castor's, on Ports
