the lots on the Carr, Henson and Pickre
lands. 49,. The fact is pretty generally
demonstrated in this County that about
the biggest fraud that can aff1ict any com
munity is a "boom."
FRIDAY.-The delegates to the State
Convention are beginning to arrive. 49,.
Frank H. Miller stopped off, on his way
home from the State Convention. Frank
now resides at Bloom Furnace, Scioto
County. 1t must be a healthy country
down that way, as Frank weighs two
hundred and twenty-eight pounds.
Almost cold enough for snow here to-
night. leap-year party tonight
at the residence of James McKtterick.
Ed. Poor is over in Gallia on business.
...... Mrs. Ridenour talks of moving to
the far west. ..... F. M. Jacobs, of Ham
ilton Township, expects to move. shortly
to Arkansas. -. The site selected for
the new College grounds is in a beauti-
full place, after all, though not nearly so
paetty in many respects, as the David
grounds. However, our people should
"help the cause along
SATURDAY.-Cold and frosty. =. Miss
Alice johnson called. This young lady
has been teaching at Haverhill. -. Our
old friend Bundy called this afternoon,
and we had pleasant season with him.
MI. Bundy is full of reminescence of his
experience in Congress and in the politi-
cal field generally. The usually happy,
ight-hearted old gentleman has no enc
mics to punish, and makes no complaint,
though we inferred that he thought it at
least strange that Vinton County-for
which he has certainly done much
should deliberately mislead his friends in
the Congressional canvass, and bring de-
feat where victory was seemingly as
sured. T. M. Varley returned from
Columbus. IA night or two ago fell
low came to the residence of Mr.. A. III.
Matthews and knocked vigorously at the
back door. Mr.. Matthews asked who was
there, but received no answer. The fel-
low went around to the front door and
stood on the porch for time, then moved
off. 1t was payday on the Railroad, and
this may have had something to do with
the silent visitor. What Matthews most
wanted just then was good stout club
Elias Long has been on the sick
list for several days Mr.. Bundy still
retains that old sunshine of spirit that
has made him many friends. In speak
ing to-day of his defeat at Gallipolis, he
exclaimed: "Well, 1 have it on good au-
thority that there is no resurrection from
the second DEATH! This would seem to in
dicate that I am done with ofice-holding."
Valentine Gettles ST., called to-day
SUNDAY.-A steady rain lasting nearly
all day. There was no rain Easter Sun
day, but there seems to have set in a
series of rainy Sundays since. ...... The
Bible Society anniversary meeting held
at Presbyterian Church. The Sun
day School Lesson for this morning
furnished a good theme for profitable
discussion of Christian character and
Christian experience, and was made good
use of. Wise, and happy, and successful
is the man who keeps his lamps trimmed
and burning not only burning, but
filled with Christian grace and the flame
of divine love.

took run out into Scioto Township to-
day, attending the funeral of the late
John S. Beatty, an old army comrade. A
great crowd gathered at the house.
Among the older citizens there we
noticed Joseph Aten, William Bennett
Mr.. Jordan. Ben. Garrett, Jerry and
Ephraim Plummer, William Inman and
many others. The people of Scioto and
Liberty are warm-hearted generous set
of people, and always manifest their
sympathy in way which leaves no
doubt of its genuineness. The roads are
rough, and travelling by buggy is very
disagreeable. Peach trees are in
full bloom, and it seems remarkable, too,
considering the freezing" weather. DIR.
S. 7. Boggess came over from Greenfield
to-day The Doctor is looking the picture
of health DIR. Jackson moved into
his residence on Portsmouth Street to-
day. Spencer Davis, the boy recently
injured by falling slate, is out again.
TUEsDAY.-Dr. Boggess purchased the
fine sorrel horse of Thomas Delay.
Mr.. John Mackley, of Concordia, Kansas,
called to-day. He is relative of the edi-
tor of the Standard, and formerly resided
at old Oak Hill. He left this County in
1856, and through the war lived in Min
nessota, afterward moving to Kansas.
