Daily Observations !!


Church last night. Norris, advance
guard of the Salvation Army called yes
terday The Capt. said ''there is lots Of
work to do in this town." Possiblyl....
Capt. Gilliland is in town to-day. ........
Caroline Rice and James Stewart were
brought in from the Infirmary this after
noon Both are violently insane, Stewart
being especially troublesome. He will
tear his clothing off, and rave and tear
around like an animal. He had to be
barricaded at the Infirmary until he
could be brought in. He was placed in
jail and guard set over him. There is
very poor arrangement at the Infirmary
for keeping such desperate cases. They
cannot of course be kept in with other
inmates, and there are no prison arrange
ments.... Harley Douglass by his next
friend, is about to sue for damages for
false arrest - Frank johnson is build
ing new house. ...... .Gray's building is
!. up to the second floor. This would have
been a beautiful location for third story
lodge room, but third story is not need
ed perhaps, without such demand This
will be pretty building. w. B. Cher
ington and Mrs. South both went to Co
lumbus yesterday, to see about appoint
ments in the Penitentiary.
THURsDAY.-Castor has quit the dog
gerry business, and his late den is being

Castor -. Philip Price is in town to-
day. Dick Grafton is in town to-day.
Dick is married again, and doing well.
The funeral of Mr.. Dixon took
place from the residence of his brother,
on Bennett Avenue, this afternoon. Rev.

the pall-bearers were eX-soldiers. ID.
w. Cherington is in town. He is at
Wellston most of his time, now.
There's smell on Portsmouth Street,
near the large stable, that would almost
lift the hair of a pig. Some dead animal,
perhaps. -. The literary exercises at
the Academy tonight wete quite inter-
esting, and in some respects amusing.
The dialogue of Smith and Busler
brought down the house. These two
gentlemen do a great deal to give life and
mirth to the school-day experience of
those about them. -. There is rainy
time, most of the day. In passing
Watson's big gardens this afternoon, we
noticed solitary rabbit hopping about
waiting for darkness, to raid the vegeta-

is in town. Edmund Caldwell, of
Ross County, called to-day Mr.. Cald-
we'll is farmer of large experience, and
declares that the "cut-worms" so plenti-
full in this county just now-and of which
he examined specimens-ar the genuine
army worm. He gives the following as
plan for killing them which he has seen
tried with success: The worms travel
over belt of territory, and by digging
small trench in their route, they will
tumble in, and may be killed readily by
dragging weight of any kind along the
trench. Mr.. Nat. Hoover, of Liberty
Township, also reports the worms in his
neighborhood, as being the regular army
worm as testified to by j ohm Kelly, who
was recently here on visit from Kansas.
The fire engine did not make the
run this evening, owing to the muddy
condition of the streets. -. DIR. j. w.

it of several days to friends in Cleveland

turned home this afternoon. "A re-
markable result of letting fall piece of
furniture was that of the dropping of

Mr.. Aten is fixing to-day. The bookcase
has glass doors The top just fell
off, literally shattering the wooden por-
tion of it, but not breaking the glass at
all 49,. james Baker tells joke on
himself, which will bear repeating. The
Postmaster put card in his box, from
gentleman some distance in the country,
inquiring when he was coming around
with his celebrated horse. 1t was intend
ed for another Baker. -. Samuel Lie
wellyn is in town to-night..... Cooley is
