patent medicine man or soap-vender

John T. Moore comes out in fine plug
hat. We never knew that Moore was
handsome until he got this new hat on.
THURsDAY.-While at work in ouI
Office this morning a tall, ine-looking
gentleman came walking in whom we at
once recognized as DR.. ]. P. Bing of
Portsmouth, formerly a Surgeon in the
old Fifty-Third Ohio. The Doctor is here
attending the Presbytery, and arose early
this morning and paid visit to the old
camp-ground at Diamond. He found
few familiar features aboutthe old place,
the buildings having been remodeled to
great extent. The Doctor was a good
officer, and loves to talk of the old associa-
tions. We are certain there is no man
we would rather take by the hand than
Bing.. DIR. A. ]. Newell called this
morning! He is about to remove to
Webster, Scioto County, his son taking
his place at the corners" DIR. Newell is
a good citizen, and we hate to turn him
over to Scioto. Mr.. and Mrs. Sam.
Levi 1.-THE bride was formerly Miss Carrie
Lowensteinl left for Portsmouth this
dlJcIAOOlis L luc1I WGuulu& ldSO III
and the reception at the Rink, were grand
events in the social life of Jackson.
Carrie is good girl, and we congratulate
Sam. m.........B. Kahn has been spending
several days among Jackson friends and
he has lots of them. Mrs. Shaw
lectured to an immense audience in the
new Presbyterian Church tonight. on the
subject of China. The lecture was
illustrated, and was highly entertaining
and Instructive. Parker Smith is in
town to-day. There is a point in
Portsmouth Street, at the intersection of
sycamore that stands as a public ridiculte
of the Council that permitted the idiocy.
Sycamore Street, instead of being cut
down to march the lower street, was
banked away up above it, making a
successful dam, stopping the flow of the
drainage. ..... There are several new
applications for membership in the Order
of Rechabites. This is growing
organization, and contains some of the
best citizens in town. A reading of the
Thirty-fifth chapter of jeremiah will give
an idea of the principle upon which the
order is founded. For the amount of
effort there is in it, we do think the soap
mans tribe can make about as doleful
music as we ever heard.
FRIDAY.-It will be remembered that
some time ago we mentioned the case of
man calling himself Scott, who was
gotten out of Jail by John L. Jones, on
habeas corpus, and gave in payment
a Biblical work. To-day the same man
was brought before the Mayor on SIM
liar charge-that of jumping board-bill.
But things have changed wonderfully.
Jones is now Mayor, aHd Scott is in Jail.
