The river bank was lined with sight-seers Sunday. But the frozen river refused to move until after dark, and the disappointment was great. Eggs are 40 cents a dozen; potatoes $1 per bushel; butter 25 cents per pound; hams 18 cents per pound. Did any one see a deep snow go off so gradually? Last Saturday morning Mr. Chap. BAKER found a garter snake which some one had just killed on the Rutland road near his house. - His snakeship perhaps came out to take a sleighride. Chas. A. LODER, is a great favorite here and brings a grand company with him, and one of the greatest novelties touring this county this season. Don't miss the "Delusion Dance." The Antiquity Mill Co. has been missing money from their safe for some time. They set a watch, and one day last week caught Henry BENTZ in the act of robbing the safe. Mr. BENTZ is an old citizen there, a church members, a leading Democratic Politician, and applicant for the Antiquity post office. The Mill Company compromised with the culprit, and let him go; but the grand jury may have something to say. Are you going to any point in the United States, or any other place?

We hear that the Juhler Works at Hartford City lost five barges by being cut down by the ice Sunday nights. It is only a rumor, and we cannot vouch for it. Will. C. RUSSELL, proprietor of the Epitome Coal Works, below town, lost one barge of coal Sunday night, cut down by the ice and sunk. Another barge, empty, was forced out on the shore by the ice, but will probably be saved. The New York supreme court decided against the Columbus, Hocking Valley and Toledo in their suit to recover $8,000.00 from ex-President BURKE and others. The union meetings of the Free Baptist and Presbyterian Churches of Middleport and continued this week at the Baptish church. The meetings have been largely at tended, and a good number have taken a stand for Christ. The "Delusion Dance" of the English twins, the sister Leigh, is one of the wonders of the age and must be seen to be appreciated. - They come here soon with "Oh! What a Night" and are worth the price of admission alone. Died, in Middleport, on Friday, January 27, 1893, Lucy, daughter of James GUTHRIE, aged about 16 years.
