ly frightening him. The fellow ought to

..... DR.. E. L. johnson, of Winchester
waster, is in to-day. The DR.. looks like
he has been in poor health. Judge
Miller will sell the fruit on his Liberty
Township farm, as it is too far away for
him to attend to it as it ripens. He will
sell the crop. There was an old-fash-
ioned shouting time at the Salvation Ar
my meeting tonight, though the threat
ening weather no doubt kept some away
who would otherwise have attended. 49,.
"Mother" Stewart was here this morning,
having lectured at Pleasant Grove Church
last night. Prof Hank had an old
fashioned siekel on the street tonight,
and was engaged in pleasant discussion
with Ed. Thompson, who claimed that it
was made for a left-handed imple-
ment. Eph Plummer, Geo. Goddard, and
other old-timers declared that it was
right-handed implement, and neither side
would give up until it was finally left to
Alex. Crisswell, who was passing. Said
Alex, "It's made for either hand, and you
can use it as you please" Nobody in the
crowd had thought of that.
THURsDAY.-UncleS Sammy Claar is in
to-day, and tells us toad story given by
some young men in his neighborhood:
The McKelvey boys were hoeing in a
field when one, of them struck a large
toad, partly cutting it open. Upon exam
ining it carefully, they found twenty
eight cut-worms in it. This would seem
to indicate that the toad is a mighty good
friend to the farmer just now. ......W. j.
Davis is in to-day. He is the gentleman
who had a leg severely fractured at Ir-
wins Station. a year or more ago, and is
still little lame, not being able to follow
i. the plOW Alex. johnson is in town
to-day .. ohm D. Davis is here to-day.
-. jackson has ball club called the
"Muffers." They are sharp players for
boys, and this afternoon the young "busi-
ness men" undertook to clean them out,
but were poorly successful, as the score,
10 to IA in favor of the "Muffers," showed.
-. Rev. 2. S. Davis returned. -. j.
l.. Ramsey and Judge Miller went to
their Liberty Township farms. "A
couple of boys named Lego by some
means got into Lowenstein's store few
nights ago. and stole between fifteen and
twenty dollars in money from the draw
er It is thought they opened the door
by reaching in through the transom and
pulling the latch-string, but it is not
known certainly. One of them was put
in Jail. The ather one will be pulled for
stealing watch from Lew Watson. One
of these little fellows had the key to Far
rar & Evans store, which was stolen by
him out of the store, but they had not
raided this establishment yet. The boy
put in jail is perhaps ten years old. The
little fellows seem to have been doing a
general pilfering business about town.
The "Army" held short street
meeting this evening, the Hall being oc-
cupied by the Academy. The officers at
tended the Cantata at the Crescent.
Capt. Grassland is back, and so fat that
his friends scarcely knew him.. 10,
French is at home again.
FRIDAY.-Uncl Alex. Poor is in town
to-day, greeting friends. IF the cut
worms damage the farmers much more"
said our old friend, .well have to all turn
printers" If they could all find as good
friends as Mr.. Poor, it would be pleas
ant to be printers. Aaron McLaugh-
lin is in town. The Lego boys and a
little son of Denny Burt were bound over
until Tuesday, the Burt boy giving bail.
This was for the robbery case, at Lowen-
STEMS. "A joke occurred to our old
friend james Meaeham, the carpenter, to-
day, that forces its way into print, though
we made superhuman efforts to keep it
out. While working at the new house of
Mr.. Marshman, on West Street, Meacham
was driving a nail, and had to strike up
wards. Throwing good deal of strength
into the blow, he let drive-and missed
the nail but took himself laundering
blow upon the nose, with the hatchet. 1t
was a hard blow, but Harry Marshman
laughed at it, because he never saw a
man"blow" his nose that way before. -.
Sam. Sternberger is in town.. j. B
Howe was over in Ross County, where
the company he represents sold steam
thresher The machine was taken down
the pike from Chillicothe toward Rich
