Daily Observations !


columns last week, to return thanks to
party of young friends who gave us a dt
lightful serenade. We recognized tn
guitar-playing of Al. Moriarty, while th
violin-playing was splendid. Hope ou
young friends will forgive our apparen
lack of courtesy. .Rev.J. w. Gum cam
in tonight to hear the lecture announced
for Prof. Ogden, at Jones Hall. Prof
Ogden was ill and the lecture was post
poned. Pap Baker received word tina
his pension bill has passed the Senate
This will make his pension twenty dollars
a month instead of eight -. The setting
out of shade trees goes on at lively rate
Harry Long and Ross Barton art
plowing and planting a large tract Of
Longs corn land near Diamond. -. Bey
ron's fine advertising delivery wagon is
on the streets. Butter is scarce.
Impossible to get onion sets. The
Summers family has moved into the At
kinson property-the old Long residence
THE dogwood, crab-apple and haw-
thorn are in bloom, making the hills look
beautiful.
THURSDAY drove of large cattle
passed through this morning, but they
were poor. A driver claimed they chad
been travelling three days without eating
We would suggest that the next drove be
permitted to browse along the roadside
for day or two on the journey. Ed.
Poor weighed yoke of steers to-day that
weighed twenty-nine hundred and fifty
pounds. ..-.. A young man was around
serenading this afternoon. He was an
expert performer, and Pat Washam and
Logan sat enraptured while listening to
him. He afterward called on Tom Lewis
and John Kimberling. He played the
Jewsharp. Prof. Ogden was not able
to lecture tonight, and it was again post
poned. Uncle Luke Garrett is in town
to-day. .Ha! There comes the glo-
rious rain. Everything was beginning to
need it. The grass was a little backward,
and the ground very dry. Corn is not
nearly all planted, but the rain will other
wise be good thing 49,. Evan c. Jones
is running the lines of some of the lots in
Booths Addition this afternoon. Mr..
Jones tells many anecdotes of his expert
ence in surveying out West. They have
law in some portions of the West that
a Surveyor, in establishing corner, must
first set charred stake, then build a lit
tie mound, and set a stake in the top of it.
For the "charred stake" they generally
burned match and threw it down, COW
ering it with the mound. He has dug and
searched for these charred matches many
time, in surveying. -. Louis Von-
mo 70 dau
Samuel Horton, of Scioto, is in to-day
..... The "milk-sickness" has been con-
sidered myth by some skeptical persons,
but it used to prevail in this neighbor-
hood. On the West side of town, in the
McClung and Mt. Zion neighborhood,
numbers OF cattle died of this disease.
Several citizens in conversation tonight |
cited incidents of the fatal effects of the |
malady. 1t was supposed to be caused
by weed eaten by the cattle, and certain
it is that after the farms were more thor
oughly cleaned up and cultivated, the |
trouble disappeared.
FRIDAY. w. Banning was induced, |
through the persuasive influence of Mar
shall Martin, to walk up to the Mayors F
Office on charge of violating the law at
his place on Railroad Street. He con-
cluded to plead guilty, and thus avoid
publicity, and was assessed the sum of |
five dollars, and some little amounts in
costs, perhaps. If he had stood trial the
people might have found it out, and clam
ored for heavier punishment. If this
case is repeated, the Cincinnati Work
house should hear of it. This thing of
running the internal dens day and night
and Sunday, should be stopped. Treat
them all alike, and none can complaint.
...-Sheriff Lively has had the Jail thor
oughly renovated and cleansed, through
and Throughout that it was in need of
overhauling, but that he wanted to put
on some fancy touches, and make it extra
nice. Mr.. .Nieuvahner found, to-day,
at his sslaughter-house coin bearing date
17SS, or ninety-eight years ago. .....J. FL.

More rain tonight.
SATURDAY.-A cold, gloomy day.
Charley Himrod has been arrested for
keeping his place open after hours, but
concluded to stand trial. claiming that he
had as much right to keep open after
hours as any billiard-room. =. Rev. F. S.
Davis went to the country to hold Quar-
terlY Meeting. The start from Jackson,
in wagon, was an auspicious one, there
being on board a supply of chickens and
veal. 49,. Elder Arbuckle preached SER
mon tonight which ought to have been
heard by many times the number present.
-. The members of the Juvenile Chris
tian Temperance Union had meeting to-
day for organization and drilling exer-
cises. The little fellows are in earnest,
and we hope no doggery will ever get any
consolation from that crowd. 49,. Dr. |
Holcomb is still affected some with rheu-
matism. 49,. Uncle Hugh Gilliland called |
to-day, as healthy and happy-looking as
many a younger man. wv. S. Schel-

burial, with military honors, of Joseph |
Wallace, by the G.. A. R. boys. There

of Jacob Crabtree, fired a salute over the |
grave. -. Large crowds attracted to
