FRuITs.-A prominent produce
merchant told us Saturday, that all
sorts of fruits will be remarkably
scarce, this year. He further said:
"There are plenty of grapes and
they will likely be cheap. Peaches
are particularly scarce, pears fairly
limited and apples are far from
plentiful. Tho trees started out
heavily laden, but the late frost
blighted them and most all fell off.
What remained are knotty and
wormy. 1t is impossible to get fine
fruit to supply the demand even at
fancy prices. You can depend upon
it that dried fruit will be very high
next winter. Wholesale men in
other places are putting the crop
away in cold storage and will make
nice profit on it,

ALARMINa-The question is do
the people of Point Pleasant feel
contcnted and propose to put up
with the terrible volume of dust
thick as fog flying through our
streets rendering it unhealthy, nm
comfortable and damaging to pros
perity. Is there an individual in
our town that would not be willing
to spend 25c. or Soc. month for
three or four months to keep down
this miserable dust2 Actually it is
getting SO one can hardly see. Ii
there is anyone that would object
to keeping down the dust by sprink-
ling, we venture to say that you
spend as much, or more, every
month, for something not near as
beneficial, and do not know it,
In most places the town goes to
work and sprinkles the streets and
then assesses the people for it
Now come, let US do away with the
dust if for no other reason in the
world other than to make our town
inviting to strangers.

GREAT ExcITEMENT.-Saturday
afternoon as the steamer G. A. Hill
was on her way up from Gallipolis,
when near the head of the island,
an exciting scene occurred. A lady
was sitting on the guards with her
pocket book in her lap which con-
tanned a considerable sum of money
and a locket and other valuables.-
She got up from her seat and, by
some means the pocket book drop
ped from her lap into the river
On discovering her loss she startled
the passengers by her loud scream
ing, and the word went round that
a child had fallen overheard Mel
son Park, wife and child of this
city, were on board, and thinking it
was his child, in an instant he was
in the river, followed by Engineer
Ward and several others on the
hunt for the supposed drowning
child. Soon some one discovered
the child playing in corner of the
cabin, where its mother had placed
it, all uneoncerned about the great
excitement it had caused by hiding
itself from view. The men in the
river were called back when the ba-
by was found, and the excitement
soon subsidized. We doubt if that
baby ever gets out of the sight of
its mother again. The lady's peck
ct book was not recovered.

Capt. French with his New SEN
sation" gave performance at this
place Saturday night, to crowded
house. The Captain gives as good
a show as you will find given from
the stage in most OF. tho cities.
Everything about his show is good
and genteel. 1t is a place any lady
or gentleman can go and spend an
evening pleasantly; feeling that
nothing will occur from the stage
to bring the blush to any refined
lady's cheek. The aerial feat of the
lady who walks and dances in the
air, is a remarkable feature of this
show, and to witness it, is well
worth the price ofadmission. Capt.
French and his estimable wife arc
personally known to number Of
our people, who hold them in the

ing Capt. and Mrs. French a safe,
pleasant and profitable voyage down

winter in the Sonth, hope for their
return to this place, during the next

The rule forbidding return checks
during the fair, will be hardship,
and will cut down the gate receipts.
When a person pays admission to

out he naturally wants the privil-

compelled to buy another ticket
We hope the directors will suspend
this rule.
