until Friday. The charge is assault and

BERTHE. 1t is about time this kind of work
was stopped. The public has no interest
in family quarrels, but this fighting and
beating on the streets ought to be done
away with. 49,. Nottingham CLAIR is en-
gagged in dismantling the old Berdel
blacksmith shop, Portsmouth Street.
The brick-yards are preparing for another
burn before cold weather.
THURsDAY.-Rained, the entire day.
This was the day set for the County Sab
bath School celebration, but the celebra-
tion didn't celebrate. 1t was fortunate
that the rain came to keep the people
from turning out, for the preparations
were utterly insufficient, and had been al
lowed to drift along by themselves. What
the future of the Society will be, remains
to be seen. A grand celebration could be
gotten up, and grand and profitable
time enjoyed. But if matters are to be
allowed to run themselves, the Sunday
School work must be confined to the sew
eral localities, with no centralized effort.
Annual reunions of all the Sabbath
Schools in the county would be glorious
agencies for good. They may yet be in
stituted.... "A. w. Long returned from
West Virginia. -. "A young man named
Brown tackled Johnny Powers up the
creek, last evening, when Powers soon
got him in a tight place. and was ham,

not seriously hurting him. Dan.

...... One of the committeeman on the

to-day. Davie Williams promised to have
plenty of water on the grounds. 1t was
there.
FRIDAY.-Warm as July weather. ......
James Plummer, of Bloomfield township,
called to-day Mr.. Plummer has fine
vein of rich ore upon his lands, that has
never been opened until recently, owing
to the great distance from market. The
Narrow Gauge Road has recently put in
a switch, and the land is being opened up,
preparatory to shipping ore, These lands
are near Winchester. The quails seem
to be taking the town. A flock of ten
was huddled upon the Isham House
kitchen this morning, and one flew into
Rice's Store and was caught. -. The
long, loud blasts of Fulton whistle sta1t-
led the natives this afternoon, and many
supposed there was a fire in that part of
town. But the old furnace was only try
ing her lungs after long rest. -. "A
large crowd gathered at the Hall to-
night for the Salvation meeting. VIM.
Hoskins was the leading spirit in the
meeting tonight. We believe the best
talker these folks have yet produced here
is Mrs. Bolen, who spoke tonight. This
lady is also worker, and was quite busy
among the people, urging them to the
altar. She is certainly a faithful and
valuable soldier. W. P. Colley also spoke
tonight. Mr.. Colley is from Wellston. i.
49,, G. w. Rice is putting in new goods. /.
Capt. Samuel White, of Liberty, is in
to-day. -. There is talk of the Salvation
Army purchasing the old Protestant
Church building, on the corner of Church
and Pearl streets. This would hardly be
profitable investment, as it would not
be large enough. Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Davis, of Columbus, have been some days
with friends here. Capt. VIM. J.
Evans, of Oak Hill, is in town to-day.
SATURDAY.-Oneo of the hottest of days

scarcely enough at the preliminary meet
