COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Some of the New Cases Recently Filed
In the Office of Clerk
Davies.

The docket for the coming fall term OF
Court promises to be considerably small
er than usual for fall term. The num-
Der of cases are pretty well up to the
usual standard, but most of them are un-
important. The petitions in the follow
ing cases have recently been filed with
Clerk Davies:
j. w. White brings an action against
the American Fire Insurance Company
to recover $500, the amount of policy
on bis shop at Bethel Station. His shop
was burned, and he alleges that he fur
nished the required proofs of his loss,
but that the company has so far failed to
reimburse him as they agreed to do.
On two promissory notes, one for $500
and another for $500, Christian Ault
files suit against Isaiah J. Ault. He
~also asks interest on both from 1880.
To recover the value of two car loads
of nail keg hoops, which the petition al
leges to have been furnished by the
plaintiff to the defendant, p. III. Glover
commences an action against Thomas
Mears.
Kidd Bros. against w. n. Siilwell is
the title of suit brought by the plant
ifs to recover $3.50, alleged to be due
them from the defendant for the use
of coal lands and works in Colerain
township, which were operated by the
defendant for two years and five months.

refused to pay, and it is sought to COM
pei him to do SO.
As executor of the estate of Moses
Boggs, John A. Neff files his petition

promissory note for $3.50 with inter
<est at per cent.

She alleges also that when drinking he
squanders his money and does not pro-
vide for her. That she gave notice to all
saloon keepers through the Clerk of

Wacher and Catharine Eberle disregard
ed these orders, and from each of them
she desires $1,000 damages.
Morgan T. Stidd, of Smith township,
comes into court and asks money con-
sideration of 5000 for damaged char
acter. In his petition he says that John
J. Clithero on two different occasions
published a report that the plaintiff had
stolen meat, and thought it joke on the
plaintiffs The plaintiff did not regard it
as joke. and as balm to his feelings
thinks that 5000 would make the thing
about square.

Not Much Account.

The West Wheeling and Bellaire pike
has been completed but trip along the
new street railroad convinces one that
for the purposes of travel by wagon the
pike is too narrow. A man is rash who
will even venture along that road with
horses that have any spirit about them
with two railroads and a street car line
along there to scare horses aud the pike
too narrow in places to allow wagons to
pass the road will be of little use now il
is completed But it is not our road
Pultney township has to pay for it.

Worse Than War,

John Lashley, while waiting on Gus
toner at his stand in the post office, had
a very close call-probably closer than
any he ever received during his entire
service in the army. Some one in the
adjoining cigar factory while fooling
with a self-cocking revolver, discharged
it. The bullet went through the plaster
ing between the two rooms add plowed a
furrow through Mr.. Lashiey's hair, just
grazing the scalp. 1t was found buried
in the wall at the opposite side of room

The Fair.

Years ago the st. Clairsville fair was a
great institution, but more recently it
has been affected by the same blight
which has sent many other local fairs to
the wall. But since it is the only fair in
Belmont county there is no reason why
it can not again reach its old time lustre
and prominence. The great trouble for
several years owing to misfortune which
could not be averted has been the lack
of money. But if the attendance is
what it should be this year there will be
no trouble on that score. Turn out
next week and spend day or two with
your friends at the fair and help a
worthy cause along.

For Star-Gazers.

Venus. after an absence of nearly a
year, has again made her appearance as
an evening star, and may now be seen
for short time in the early evening in
the west. She will continue to adorn the
western skies during the remainder of
the year, growing brighter and brighter
as the months pass and not reaching her
brightest brillianey until the 9Th of jan
uary next. Jupiter rises about midnight
and is the most conspicuous object in the
eastern morning skies.

Private Funerals

The custom of holding strictly privat,
funerals is gaining ground rapidly il
many places. Persons who possibly die
not know the deceased while living
crowd around the casket impelled by
mere curiosity, thus making an unseemly
exhibition of that which sorrowing ones
hold dear. The time seems to be com
ing when public exhibition of the re
mains will he a thing of the past. Pub
lie sentiment is tending in that direction

A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

/ A young man who at our Teachers In
stitute last summer made himself ex
ceedingly agreeable to the young ladies
and who went away with many tender
female heart in his possession. entered
school at Bethany, w. Va. He at once
feeling with Moore
- that when we're far from the lips we love,
We've but to make love TO the lips that are near,
proceeded to lay his services at the feet
of maiden who, it so chanced, was the
chosen one of student of higher class
The higher classman challenged our
young hero to duel with pistols, and it
was agreed that the pistols should be
loaded with blank cartridges and only a
mock duel be fought. But the upper
ciassman, when the second shot had been
fired, staggered, tore at his breast and
fell, blood red liquid issuing from a
seeming wound. Our hero, thinking with
horror, that he had killed his man, fed,
and hid for three days in a barn; only
coming out when he was assured by some
friend that it was all a joke, and instead
of the red fluid being blood it was only
red ink.
There are millions of caterpillars-
more or less-crawling about every
where. Well, don't step on them. It's
nasty. Besides it is cruel, and makes
you beastly. Remember that
"-the poor beetle, that we tread upon.
In corporal sufferance finds pang as great
As when giant dies"
Be rather like my uncle Toby, who was
summers afternoon catching fly that
buzzed about his ears and bit him; and
after all the torment, his soft heart re-
Tented, and taking the insect to the
window, he carefully liberated it, saying,
"go, poor devil, get thee gone; why should
l hurt thee? This world is surely wide
enough to hold both thee and me-"
One dramatic moment stands out in
the Parliament of Religions. The Budd-
hist priest and scholar, Dharmapala
Light, in the spotless lawn, hurled def
ance at the great audience. He ask
ed them, 'how many of you have
read the life of Buddha?" Five hands,
four of them belonging to women, were
raised. "Five only" said the Budd-
hist, with a tone and look of disdain.
"Four hundred and seventy-five millions
of people accept our religion of love and
hope You call yourself a nation-a great
nation-and yet you do not know the his
tory of this great teacher. How dare you
Judge us?" He continued with some
wholesome advice to the bigots who are
wont to say that all the worlds bound
straight for perdition except the few who
are on their narrow track.
