Daily Observations p!

WEDNEsDAY.-Charl Hudson ha
moved into Mr.. Dever's new house, o.
Portsmouth street. {. :. Leonard Cast
moving down near the o. S. Depot.
In the mouth of the alley, between tn
residence of DR.. Ewing and the dogger.
across the way, was one of the most dis
occurred in this town. Two little boy
named Coleby became involved with
larger boy named Reynolds, and, for fly
minutes there was a constant stream o.
the most frightful oaths imaginable
They finally began to fight, and tn
screams and oaths were a disgrace to tn
town. 1t was a fitting companion pic
ture to the doggery near by, the keeper O.
which, in company with several othel
men, stood quietly by watching the fight
and listening to the howls and curses
The doggery-keeper always likes to see
boys start out that way. 1t makes hin
think that the harvest is ripening fol
the future. -. Mr.. Harding Ball, &
young gentleman who distinguished him
self as having been the first criminal sent
from jackson to the Cincinnati Work
House, was sent over the road again to-
day, for burglary and larceny, having
stolen soma clothing, short distance in
the country. Constable Baker took him
down to Cincinnati. Ball is mere boy
and is. starting well to be confirmed
criminal. He will remain some time, on
this trip. -. Mr.. and Mrs. J. III. Hilliker
returned to Brooklyn to-day.
THURsDAY-Hot weather again.
Ut. Stewart, of Berlin, called. III. j
Jones, of Oak Hill, is in town. .Gra-
ham is putting the cornice on Gray's new
building. Nv. E. Marsh, of Efforts
called to-day. Walker is good boy.
Misses Carrie and Tillie Loewenstein
went to Cincinnati. :. Mr.. and Mrs.
is having his big store-room. corner of
Main and Portsmouth, painted. -. Tom
Davis has an orchard which presents a
funny appearance. The apple trees bore
beautiful crop this seas on, yet some of
them are in bloom again, and some have
young fruit upon them, second crop.
They look thrifty and sound. These
trees are situated short distance above
Petrea -. .Thos. A. Beaton, of Colum-
bus, is in town to-day. Mr.. Beaton was
formerly in the Railroad business. and
some years ago ran an excursion from
Portsmouth and Jackson to Columbus. :.
THE band boys did not play for the
show tonight. -. William Watson has
a number of cows penned up for tres
pass, this evening, and there are negotia-
tions for getting them out pending. .....
Rev. T. S. Davis conducted the last
prayer meeting of his conference year in
jackson, last night, at M. E. Church. $50.
A. W. Long is going back to Charleston
for few days. The boys are having
lots of fun annoying an old peddler, or
travelling man of some kind this evening,
but keep religiously out of reach of his
stick. Boys respect the agedl.. "A
number of quails were in town to-day,
and the merry whistling was heard near
the center of town.
FRIDAY.-Dr. Laird and wife returned
from Cincinnati. They, and j. S. Baker,
with perhaps other Jacksonians, attended
the great spectular pantomime "The Fall
of Babylon" and pronounce it grand
thing in all its features. .....T The mail
train on the o. S. Road tonight, coming
In behind time and running PRETTY lively,
passed the right place in the wrong time
for d. D. Dungan's cow. The boy was
driving the coW>fro the pasture, and
when she got on the track the boy could
not get her off. The train struck her
amidships, and settled her earthly troub-
les on short notice. d. P. Pewthers
called us in this morning to see his great
buckeye. The hull contains six large
buckeyes-all in one pod. 1t is a curl
osity. A man carrying that Buckeye in
his pocket would be proof against all the
ills that flesh is heir to. .Quin Gibson
has fixed neat arrangement in the way
of Electric Bells, at the Gibson House.
1t was arranged by James Vonschriltz, of
the Telephone Exchange. By pressing
upon neat button on the counter or in
the hall, loud ringing is made, similar
to the bell of telephone instrument.
James Meacham, ST., walked into town
to-day. The old gentleman still handles
himself in lively manner. =. Miss
Dora Warren, of Oak Hill, has been visit
ing friends here for few days. :. Mrs.
JeR. Hunter presented us with samples
of her fine grapes this evening. The
company of Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter, is a
sufficient treat, of itself, but the grapes
were of the best.
SATURDAY.-Ed. Poor has been down
in Gallia county, buying up carload of
hogs. He came through from Rio Grande
to-day. This has not been profitable
year for part of the county officers. The
Probate Office has fallen off in it's receipts,
while the Recorders office has perhaps
increased. -. There is point on Ports
mouth street between Broad and Pearl,
where little lime or copperas-water
would be in the nature of a public bene-
faction. 49,. Will Lambert has moved
out of Mr.. Basquilrs house, Portsmouth
street. t......I 1t would be a splendid thing
If more of our business men would do as
j. Ell. Price is doing-dig wells in front of
their business houses. This would serve
the double purpose of street sprinkling,
and protection against fire. Uncle
Alex. Livingston went to Vinton county
this evening, to visit relatives. -. The
Little Ten Band has recruited up to some
sixteen members, we understand, and
sent for new music. Eliza Jones, we be-
ieve. will blow the bass-drum. We
are not sure that there is an abundance
of good water at the old School Building
At least the children complain of it as
not being the best. The wells at the
School buildings ought to be among the
best in town.
SUNDAY.-There was an immense
crowd of disappointed sight-seers at the
rifle to-day. The Salvation Army per
mitted all the nice, bright afternoon te
