Cline, were called to Harrisville, last Monday on account of sickness in their brother’s family who resides there. Elder McHargue, of Andersonville, this state will preach at the Christian church this and to-morrow evenings and Sunday morning and evening. All are invited to these services. Hon.

The suit of Parks, the liveryman, against Sam Evans, charged with injuring the plaintiff's horses last summer while on his famous “lark,” was on trial before Judge Hei'er and a jury yesterday afternoon and will probably terminate to day. Lase Graham has great reasrn to be thankful bn Thanksgiving day. His wife presented him with a fine boy on that day ar.d Lase says “who wouldn’t feel rejoiced over that kind of a present.” The lijtle fellow makes the sixth Democrat in the Graham family-. The report that John Blakeslee had “gone to the wall” seems to have been a little premature. He met with some difficulty in securing loans from building associations that he anticipated, which, doubtless, gave rise to the rumor. John is responsible and will come out all right 1 in a short time.

This is first time that we ever knew of monopolies, cliques a-d rings having a corner on marriage certifi cates. We learn as we grow older.— Ge neva Herald. , We are ineb'ned to think the Herald .is wrong in its surmises. The failure of the young couple to marry was probably due to the fact that the girl’s father in reply to the would he groom’s request for her hand said “no” »pd very forcibly empha- ' sized the declaration by a vigorous thrust of the Joe of his bout that accidentally came ia'o conjunction with the feat of the young man’s pants. Really wasn’t that the prime cause of the postponement? A.
