MARTINS FERRY.

A happier set Of people never return
ed 10 Martins Ferry than the spectators
aud football team Of yesterdays game
on the Fair grounds. Our people were
confident that the y. VI. c. A. boys
would come out victorious but they had
no idea OF defeating the Wheeling team
so easily. Our little city seems to DO
aWav ahead Of ner neighOOrS in athletic
sports, aud great credit is TO be given
TO Secretary c. c. Mitchell OF the Y. NJ.
C. A. for the magnificent work he has
done IN this line, and especially for the
good work OF the football team.
The mortgaged property that Frank
He'll removed from his butcher shop ono
night was found out near CadiZ, where
he had traded 10 10 VIM. McFadden for
q horse and five dollars. A writ Of re-
plevin was gotten out before q Harrison
county Justice and the property rccOv-
cred. To is q pretty serious oHenSe 10
dispose of property of this kind and
He'll could be severely punished. He
was st one time a prosperous, honor
able Young man, but he has 0ecn going
to the bad very fast lately. His where
a0oUts is unknown.
Wheeling should play another game
OF football with the Y. NJ. c. 4. team
Of this city and let the proceeds go to-
wards helping our people in their char
table work here or towards aiding the
association. 10 would no doubt be en-
jOyed by the players and spectators and
do q great deal of good. Let there De
