The total expenses of the late Institute, of this county, were $225.75. There were twelve prisoners in the jail of this county at the close of the week. The Republicans throughout this county are enthusiastically awake and active. James Aleshire, of Gallipolis, passed the physical examination at the West Point Military Academy. T. J. Neal's house, in Walnut township, was visited by thieves, Sunday of last week, and $15 taken. Miss Hannah U. Maxon, recently a teacher in Gallipolis, has accepted a like position in Springfield. George King, of Gallipolis, left for Germany on Tuesday of last week, to get his fortune. The amount is $40,000. Dr. W. B. Guthrie has been appointed City Physician, of Gallipolis, for the ensuing year by the Board of Health. James Carter, a collier for the Keystone Furnace company, and living in the upper end of Huntington township, recently committed suicide by hanging. Some fellow, says the Gallipolis Journal, went to the hen roost of Jim Bashore the other night and was about to "inquire within" when he received a dose of shot liberally distributed, which operated as a "notice to quit." Some man went to the house of Mrs. Bryan, in Addison township, one day last week, while the men folks were absent at work on the farm, and finding her alone drew a revolver and pointing it at her, told her to keep still while he helped himself. He took $50 in money and such other things of value about the house that he wanted, and left. It is probable that the robber watched the house until all the men had left. ---[Gallipolis Journal.
