Daily Observations.

WEDNEsDAY.-An excessively warn
day. The ladies of the Missionary
Society, NJ. E. Church, gave an all day
meeting to-day, with lecture by Mrs
Marshall tonight The lunch at moor
was well patronized, and the exercises
through the day were highly enjoyable
especially the literary and musica
features .......Mr. Knight, the engineer
of the runaway train of the Andrew:
Raid, in 1862, lectured tonight. The
crowd was small. This simple story
of the daring and suffering
experiences of the brave men who
went on what may justly be con-
sidered foolhardy piece of work, ought
to have attracted more people than it did
John Wollam, the Jackson County
representative in the Audacious affair
now lives at Topeka, Kansas Mr.
Knight does not look old, but is stout
hearty looking man.
THURsDAY.-The Hibernian boys who
were attending the State Convention OF
that order at Chillicothe, returned last
night, and, report having had an excel
lent time. IA "boom" meeting was
held at the Rink tonight, addressed by A.
W. Long and others. The Social
at the Presbyterian Church tonight was
attended by an immense throng of people,
old and young. The fine new Church
building was completely filled with a
merry, laughing throng, while the mem
beTs were busy making their visitors
feel perfectly at home. A social at the
Presbyterian Church is always an enjoy
able time. The Silver Cornet
Band turned out tonight and furnished
music for the meeting at the Rink and
for the Social.
FRIDAY.-Uncle Joe. Patterson and
his excellent lady have been visiting for
several days in Jackson. Harvey
Wells is in town to-day. The
electric light men have been pushing
things at a lively rate for several days
and it begins to look as though we
should have some lights shortly. Still
talking of starting Huron. ......J. r.
Hunter has been in Columbus on q. S.
Jury service ........Mr. A. N. Brooks
and Miss Mary McKitterick, sister of
James McKitterick were married on
Wednesday evening. The groom resides
in Washington c. 81. The Knights of
Pythias are drilling tonight in the Rink,
with the Jackson Band. ..... s.. of Y.
meeting tonight. +. There is too
Jackson. Yesterday evening crowd of
young men got into an alteration at the
corner of Pearl and Broadway, and such
was the character of their profanity-or
rather the lack of character-that the
police had to be called. Loud swearing
on the streets, in the presence of ladies
and children, is not only entirely un-
necessary-but excessively brutal.
SATURDAY.-Slight rains, and very
warm weather. met our old
friend III. S. Bundy this morning, and in
general discussion of old time topics,
the name of old Uncle Ben. Scott came
up. Among other amusing anecdotes il
lustrating the wit of the eccentric but
keen-witted old gentleman, was this:
Some years ago the Governor and AttoT-
ney General of California were stumping
Ohio, and made speeches at Hamden. Of
course Ben. was there. The Governor
proved excessively wearying, and Scott fin
ally called out splease stand aside, friend,
and let the Governor speak" He was as
sured that the Governor aoas speaking,
and he endured the dry dose for some
minutes longer, but evidently becoming
very tired. Finally the Governor said
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for
your attention "-"and we thd7lk the
Lord that you're going to quitp called
out Scott. 1t is needless to say the effect
of that speech was lost on the audience.
.............. Misses Jennie and Maggie
Evans. Laura Mackley. Annie Williams,
Master Homer Trip, and Will FL. Miller,
went to Columbus to-day.
SUNDAY.-A tremendously hard rain
to-day. and turning colder. ...... Elder
Musson preached at the Christian Church.
......J. Fl. Price and family, with num-
ber of friends, went to the country.
A couple of young men were seen coming
down Portsmouth street, near Pearl this
evening 80 beastly drunk that they could
scarcely walk. They were just sober
enough-or rather were not quite too
drunk-to try to get into the den in the
Dever corner, but failed to make it-fo1
wonder.
MoNDAY.-Cold as winter. 49,. Miss
Gettie Trip is in very poor health. -.
Miss Grace Matthews has gone to
Lebanon. ..... Miss Blanche Price lost
a set out of a ring to-day. 1t is of the
material known as tiger-eye." Any one
finding same should leave it at STANDARD
office. 49,. Misses Eta Conway, Blanche
Price, Nellie Mackley and BERTHE CLAIR
with a number of friends, went into the
Long & Co. mine to-day. The young
ladies from Columbus soon became
frightened out. The inside of a Goa
mine is not an attractive place, by any
means. a friend tells us that oul
old friend James E. Lackey, of Bloom
field Township, recently purchased yer!
fine dog-blooded stock.
. TUEsDAY.-Miss Lou Matthews is go
ing to Portsmouth. -. The boys ON th'
street gave the Salvation Army livel.
send-off last night The Army now mum
bers about five persons th
Captain and color-bearer.
