Mining Institute went to the mines up
the creek, stopping at a few of them, and
calling at Glen Roy and Wellston. Prof.
Orton went home last night. The

calls back the days of the Second Virginia
Cavalry, when they enlisted at this place.
Squire j. A. Sell, of Coalition, called
yesterday. Of course we inquired after
the business interests of our neighbor
town. Our old friend was good-humored
and sanguine of the success of every kind
of business but the newspaper business,
in that place. -. This was the day set
for letting out the contracts for building
three residences on South Street. These,
Browns, Wilson's, and Cherington's, are
to be fancy buildings, and will add great

We heard of some of the farmers in Lib
erty township who declared that they did
not know whether to try to cradle their
wheat or to pick it,. Elmer Owens
got out of his serious scrape pretty well.

necklace-the other man drew blank.
Then the other man was induced by the
to put up thirty dollars against
sixty that he could now draw the number
Mr.. c. drew before. They drew again,
asking Mr.. G. to draw again, merely for
fun. He drew his old number, but the
stranger drew blank, and was carried
away over his loss. Then they wanted
Mr.. G. to draw. And right here is the
point for the public benefit. Many man
would have been duped into spending his
money in an attempt to get a valuable
watch or necklace for little or nothing
but Mr.. Crandall understood the situa-
tion The stranger-who had lost his
one of the gang who were
operating the scheme. Mr.. Crandall in
formed them that he had all the money
