Daily Observations!

WEDNEsDAY.-Dr. S. w. Henry, o
. Berlin, called to-day. A new Coal Shat
is being sunk at Berlin, DR.. Henry ant
number of others owning small tracks
of land, have banded together for th'
! purpose of testing the question as tt
whether there is paying vein of Goa
there, and it is quite probable they will
find it. John W. Cavey,1 of Berlin
called. The Glee Club had meeting
last night at the Band Room. -. Cooper
Salvationists, is here again. We re
ceived another of Miss Bunn's entertain.
ing letters. Read ill.,. There is one
thing that ought certainly to be done in
this town, that is, cindering the alleys in
the more swampy or muddy localities
IA team belonging to Thomas Baker
stalled to-day in the alley back of Ambrose
Leach's residence The wheels on one
side went in almost to the hubs. A
magnificent team of mules and two strong
horses, could not bulge the wagon, and
the driver was kept at work several hours
with other men, getting away. A few
leads of cinder would help things wonder
fully in such places.
| THURsDAY.-Spring is taking a turn
to day. Capt. r. III. Jones has been
granted a pension. M. T. Vanpelt of
Wellston, appeared in Court again, after
his trip to the Hot Springs. He is look
| ing much better than when he went away.
Hon. H. S. Bundy addressed the jury at
the Court House tonight, in the case of
Pavey VS.. Grant and others ..... John L.
Moore Esq. in addressing the jury tonight
went into Attorneys on the other side as
though he would not leave a grease spot
of them. M. Pavey and his son, Charles
Pavey, are attending Court. Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew Warren of Oak Hill,
are in town to-day. The Herald, of
this place, is to be run by joint-stock

party to-day .....James Maloney is still

FRIDAY.-Dan. Faulkner, of Oak Hill,
is here. e.......Dr. and Mrs. Hale tried
their fortunes in the Court of Common
Pleas to-day, where Mrs. Hale got
decree of divorce and alimony. The

happy experience in married life, and it
is hoped that theil troubles will end with
their marriage relation. :. Isaac Brown
is able to be out again, after his exper-
fence with the gas. Miss Lou Matthews
went to Portsmouth on visit .... The
jury wrestled all day with the Pavey
case. There was pretty and amusing
picture of the force of habit, at the Court
House, to-day. An official appeared at
the door of the witness room, with a
cigar in his mouth. Now, there is no
smoking permitted in the Court Room |
proper. and the officer had reached the
line. But he was bound to finish that |
cigar, so taking a stand in the doorway, |
he would draw in smoke until he was |
puffed up like a Dutch Alderman, then
open the door, blow the load out into |
the smaller room, and quickly shut the
door. Then. he was ready for another |
pull, and so on. 1t was perfect picture |
of the successful elimination of a happy !
thought.
