Daily Observations

WEDNESDAY, climbing
rapidly. big rain-storm this after
noon. -. Uncle George Dever appeared
on the streets driving fast horse-a lit
tie too fast, and had lively buggy-ride.
The Salvation Army went to Cen
tire Point to hold their meeting tonight.
THE Academy students and "busi-
ness men" had game of ball advertised,
but failed to play. The Chillicothe
excursionists came back somewhat disap-
pointed over Barnum's show. 49,. Ben
son Evans has located in Columbus for
the present. John T. Leach is in
town. -. Prayer meeting was held in
the lecture-room of the M. E. Church,
but the building is considerably torn up
yet. .Raspberries are in market.
Squire Dave Evans is still in town. At
ter all, his trip to Wales was postponed
for very trivial case -. The Salvation
boys are still getting notices printed for
their hats. One to-day got the express
sive motto: "The Devil Hates Me-" Hope
it will always be so.. There is talk of
another building on the Martin corner.
-. Morris L. Sternberger has added fine
new iron fence to his South Street prop
erty. -. Policeman Dan Jones was driv-
ing down street this evening drove of
diminative porkers, on their way to the
pound"
THURsDAY.-The Alumni, of the Jack
son High School had picnic to-day at
Canter Caves. The power that rules the
storm must regard these young folks as
sugar, for it rains whenever they organ
ize picnic. But they had jolly time
of it at all events, and came in about sew
en- o'clock this evening, singing "Home,
Sweet Home" A happier crowd is rare
ly seen, and the pretty faces of the ladies,
smiling from wealth of evergreens, pre-
sented beautiful picture The young
people all voted the picnic success. We
acknowledge an invitation to this picnic,
but regret our inability to attend. .....
Constable Stiffler created quite breeze
to-day by shutting up number of loose
cows found about town, and there are
those tonight who do not feel a burden
of brotherly loYe for "Dick." We are not
sure that this is the best mode of proceed
ure. A poor man may have cow, yet
not be able to get pasture for her, while
run at large. ..... AT the meeting at Cen
tire Point last night young man named
Rufe Stevison attempted to get up row,
by attacking young man for wearing a
Salvation badge. He only succeeded in
getting himself waltzed into town, and
punished. Little Sylvia Washburn,
of Cincinnati is visiting her relatives, the
Mathews family, at this place. -. Ell
der Carr is able to sit at the front door
and greet his friends. -. Mr.. Rice, the
guard at the Jail, had the two unfortun-
ates, James Stewart and Caroline Rice,
out in the Public Square to-day for fresh
air, and from the great crowd of people
who stood on the outside of the fence,
staring at them, one would think that
menagerie was in full blast on the
Square. The Commissioners are prepar-
ing a place at the Infrmary for the con-
fnement of violent cases of Insanity.
This is good move as it seems little
harsh to keep them confined in Jail like
criminals. -. Two young men had a
wind -jamming match tonight in front of
Sternberger's Store, which ought to have
landed them both in the calabose. The
filthiest oaths were poured out while la
dies and children were passing. If eth
er had struck at the other, both would
have run.
FRIDAY.-There was considerable stir
to-day over report that man over near
the steam mill had been suffering from
hydrophobia. having been bitten by a
dog. Also, that a son of Matt Claar's
had been bitten. We do not place much
credence in these reports. But why
might not Jackson County have a case
for Pasteur ?..... Mr.. Ross Watts has
been collecting money to build a church
in Franklin Township, near his residence
and that of Mr.. Martindale. Uncle
George Dever made him a donation of
twenty dollars to-day. That's the way to
