there are noisier places than Hartley's in
town. Judge Longbon is out tonight
leaning tenderly on his cane. James
Harper and family have moved up nea1
the McKitterick Mines. James
Meacham is just completing an oddly
constructed building for Mr.. Humphres
Four rooms, with CRATE in each corner OF
central chimney. The fire engine
was called out about ten o'clock tonight
by a slight fire in the residence of Mr.
Black, near Laird's brickyard. The peo-
BILE generally turned out. Many "Father
Hubbards' were visible along the streets,
as some of our citizens had retired.
THURsDAY.-The new officers were
sworn in last night. An umbrella
mender took a notion to spread himself
by filling up on whiskey, but was GALA
boosed - AT a house on Portsmouth
Street to-day there was terrible row. a
woman screaming "murderp "policel"
and other expressions of distress and dam
ger. .Hollberg has put up new We

Humphres house is finished. Harry
Marshman's house will be enlarged, the
workmen to commence Monday. James
Meacham will do the work. 49,. The
Rhinehart Company played to small
house at the Rink tonight. This Com
pany deserved better house, and they
form an excellent Company. A remark
able feature was the singing by Mr.. st.
Clair, who has voice as pure and clear
as lady's and sounds the high notes
with as much richness as a lady could.
The whole troupe are excellent. ....
'Sqnire McClung's Court has been running
to-day on case from the Petrea neigh
borhood. where some young men disturbed
a literary entertainment, on Saturday
night. AT the Opera House tonight
were two men-evidently chums-who
had queer notions of enjoyment. One
was so drunk that he was sleeping most
of the time. The other, also drunk, EN-
ployed his time in trying to keep his COM
panion awake long enough to see part
of the performance. -. Willard keenan,
and Jerry Morrow are in town this even
ng......A little boy named sIvvie"
Jones was placed in the calabeese. tonight
for drunkenness. This is fine commen-
tary upon the laws of the country, or
rather the manner of enforcing them.
Boys and habitual drunkards buy all the
liquors they want without let or hindrance
4AdiliCu
Rogers, who was engaged in the row at
Rice's School House, but who lodged
Constable Dick Stiffier, slipped in and
plead guilty before Squire McClung. The
boys say that the Constable, not knowing
that the man had plead guilty, met him
on the street and arrested him upon the
warrant. =. The Rhinehart Company

This Company deserved better patronage
than they received here. "A. W. Long
has been up at Wellston, and informs us
that that town is going to have some
pavements at last. Mr.. Long contracted
for some two thousand feet of fag-stone
pavement. This style of pavement has
been tried here for nearly year, and
proves quite satisfactory, as well as beau
tiful. They are a great improvement
over the old, uneven brick walks. .......
Fred Cook, the Wellston brick-layer, is in
town. -. We had a pleasant call to-day
from Mr.. Joseph Harper, of Coalton. :. f..
John Hartley was fined pretty heavily
and jailed one day, for selling liquor on
election day. Now let the good work go
on until every one of them is punished.
SUNDAY.-The whole town seemed to
strike out for the fields and hills to-day,
after Church services. From Jackson to
the new gas-well, opposite the Long resi-
dence, there was constant stream of
people-coming and going. The very
small children should not be permitted to
cross at the "riffle. One little girl slipped
and fell at that place this afternoon, get
ting terribly wet. Had she slipped over
the rock it would have been hard to save
her. "A well-known stakeholder in
the gas-well took his wife to see the well
this afternoon, and, desiring to enlighten
the good woman upon the wonderful
strata through which the drill was pass
ing. attempted to pick up some blue clay
lying beside the derrick. Reaching far
out he lost his balance, and went head
first at the mud, but saved himself by
ramming his arm into the mud, some
thing less than half mile. 1t required
all the oil around there to smooth the
troubled waters, just about that time.

Foster is here. IA great rush to get
gardens spaded. H. S. Bundy has

Cincinnati is here. -. The Trustees are
