Mira Belle Messick.

Although she had been in i'll health
for several months past, it was a
shock to hte friendh of Miss Mira Mes
sick to learn of her death, which oc-
Cured Sunday evening last shortly af-

Miss Messick was beautiful girl,
possessed of temperament that was
uniformly sweet and charming. She
was a firm Christian in precept and
acts, and was beloved and respected
by all her acquaintances.
Her decline was very rapid, and at
the first serious symptoms of her i'll
ness she was resigned and patient.
Her age was nineteen years.
The funeral will be held this Tues
day afternoon at Gilman avenue M. e.

STANDING OF THE LEAGUE,
Want a Dam at Marietta.

Major w. H. Bizby, United States
Engineer in charge of the Ohio river,
has recommended that the next dam
of the series, which is expected to
make the Ohio river navigable all the
year round, be located at Marietta.
The citizens of Marietta made a par
ticularly strong plea for this, and Ma
jor Bixby is in sympathy with the
movement of locating the dams in the
future below the mouths of the prin-
cipal tributaries of the Ohio, at which
points are some Of the largest towns
and cities of the valley.
Marietta is at the mouth of the Mus
kingum river, and dam below that
city would serve the double purpose
of furnishing fine harbor for the city
and harbor in the mouth of the Mus
kingum. Ano,ner dam should be built
at PIT. Pleasant, and, of course, one at
Cincinnati. If each city would make
an effort to get dam, the series would
soon be complete, and the river nav
igable all the time.-Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette.
