Daily Observations!
WEDNESDAY, About midnight last
night the solemn tolling of the fire bell
aroused the sleepy citizens, and the en-
gine turned out to find that an oil-house
at the Ohio Southern depot had been
burned. The boys tell joke on some one
who came up street to give the alarm,
averring that he went to the residence of
Engineer Andres and awoke that gentle
man, telling him that the house was on
fire. This was a small house, used to
keep oil in for the road, and it is doubt
full if any engine could have cxtinguished
it 10. S. Miller returned from Ohio
Conference to-day. On Sunday he took
tea with DIR. Richardson, of the Athens

building could be made quite comforta-

meeting in that old room, and have heard
many excellent sermons there -. .Rey.
