old son of John Chisheld, residing
in Putnam county, was burned to
death few days ago. The little
fellow was left in a room alone,
when by some means its clothing
caught on fire. The mother rushed
to save it, but in so doing she shut
a door with spring-lock between
herself and the child. This being
the only entrance to the room, and
having no means of opening the
heavy door, she was compelled to
witness the burning of her child,
powerIess to save it.

What a Wh0pper.
The people of Point Pleasant are
always trying to do something det-'
rimental to our city's prosperity.
They are fighting us on a number
of things, but the latest, is an effort.
to induce the Ohio River Railroad
To not put station opposite this
city. thereby making il necessary
for passengers to so 10 that town, in
order to get here, by that route.
Another scheme they have is to
keep the road from dropping our
mail off across the river so that we
would not get it until g o'clock in
the evening, while if we had car
rier between this Office and the de-
pot across the river, We would get
it about IL o'clock in the morning.
A petition has been sent 10 head
quarters, praying that such SER
vice shall be established, and it is
to be hoped that the effort will be
successful. Gallipolts Tribune.
Wonder where the editor of the
Tribune got his information? whether
he imagined the above, or was told
it. it is a falsehood all the same. No
such fight is on in this town. We
don't care whether the Ohio River
Railroad puts switch into the
river or not, or whether Uncle Sam
orders the mail to be transferred at
that point, for it is none of our bus
mess The editor shows his petty
spite at our growing town, in the
above article. Heis jealous because
our town is growing and his is not.
While Point Pleasant built hun
dred or more houses last season,
some of which cost $4,000 and
more. G,.llipolis did not build
hog pen, repair house or even
paint one. Our prosperity and bus
mess activity hurts the old "cur-
mudgeon" who edits the Tribune.
Our people feel a lively interest
in the welfare of GallipoIis, because
it has been a good town, (but has
seen its best days,) and has lots of
good people and active business
men in it, and they will do all in their
power to help it along. They have
no fight with GaIlipolis, or its peo-
pie. Understand this for all time.
Please quit your lying about our
town and its people, Uncle olmsted.
At regular meeting of the Point
Pleasant Choral Society, held on the
evening of january 10th. 1883, the
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The authorities of the
Greenbrier Presbyterian church so
kindly opened the doors of their
church building for our accommodate
lion, at time when such favor
:yas the special need OF the Society,
be ii therefore
ReSolred, That we, the members
of the Point Pleasant Choral Society,
do heartily appreciate their kind
ness, ana desire 10 express our graf
itude, and to return our sincere
thanks for the said favor. And be
it further
Resotce,l, That the Secretary be
requested to place copy OF these
resolutions in the hands of the atore-
named authorities: and also place a
