G , will, if the weather is not too severe, form on Market Square at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon for the parade in honor ot Washington's birthday.

The First Congregational Church of this city is invited to send representatives to a gathering to be held in Zacesville, next Tuesday evening, at which a Congregational Church in that city is to be organized. Rev. Dr Gladden is to deliver a dUccurseand Rev. Wm. II. Warren, ot this city, an address to the people. The indications are a strong Church at the start will bo organized with good prospect lor future growth and useful ness. The German M. E. church this morning took possession ot one of the large ante rooms attached to the Council chamber and will begin holding regular servicas there next Sunday. It is probable that, another season, an eligible lot will be secured in the north western part of the city, and a church build ing erected by this congregation. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Xocker, and leading members are working actively to that end. The Springfield District Telepraph Com pany is meeting with very good success, and Lave now almost the required unmb:r of sub scribers. Mr. Frank M. Fritch and Mr. Ed. A. Reeder, the proprietors of the enterprise, were in the city today, and assured us that they were well satisfied and proposed to be gin stringing their lines in about a week or so, and would probably have their office open and ready for business by the 15th of March.

In the center of the city from sixteen to eighteen below zero was about the average. Ther was a terrible amount of suffering, undoubtedly. Since yesterday niorumg the oRice of the township trustees, in the West county building, has bcn crowded with applicants for aid ot one kind or another, and it only half they tell of what tbemseU es an 1 fimilies hive endured be true the amount of suffering in the com munity is unprecedented The trustees have been unable to fnd time to go out and an swer calls troni parties who are unable to come to the oflite There is a large propor tion of colored people among the applicants, most of them calling for fuel.

Dr. McLaughlin probed for it, but was unable to find the bullet, and it remains ia young Gridley's hand.

"Jim Steer, 'n' ho wouldn't neer be imposed on by any body. Nobody mopped the lloor w ill him, now you bet. He started oneo to drhe a bunch uji from San Antoine to New Mexico, follerin' the Colorado River up t' where't rises, erossin' the staked plains 'n' strikin' the 1'ccos 'n' follerin' aloup that. Tltcro were 3,.r0.) head in the hunch, '' he'd sot 'Ieen men an orney crowd of (iii.isces 'n' nigcr-. Well, it all went well nufVtill the second day on the plains The bunch had stopped feedin' 'n' was un isy 'n' hard to hold, 'n' the men was put on Miort allowance of w.itcr'n1 was nearly crazy for sleep, 'n them Guas ca began to j w 'n cuss, 'if bime by they struck. Tney could rido back to water in ten or tncltc hours without no cattle to drie, "n' they concluded to quit; 'n' the mist of 't was then the niggers began to talk of going back too. But Steers w as kecpin' cases on 'cm all the while, 'n' he wa'n't the feller to get left, now I tell yer. Them cattle was wuth $3.r.000 ccry picay une Steer had got in the world n' ho knew if they onst got turned Iooo the d himself couldn't get 'em together again. He wasn't takin' that trip for his health, now ver bet jerlife. Ho just waited till thctu seven Mexicans was at dinner together, 'n' then ho waltzos up 'n' pulls a pair of six-shooters on 'cm. 'Hold up yer hands, hotn bres!' says he, 'n' seein' ho had the drop on 'era, that's what they done. Then he collared the nigger cook's gun 'n' made him take the .shootin' irons ofTn the rest, 'n' then, aforo them Guasces had caught on to his racket, he'd blown the whole bunch to kingdom come, ono after the other. Then he rodo out to tho threo men on herd, 'n' scooped in their irons; 'n' then they went on, the fio of 'em four niggers 'n' Steer driin' the bunch. The cattle went easy, goin' toward water, 'n1 a peaceabler, conteutederlot of nig gers a man would never waut to see. They'd found out that Steer wa'n't a man to be impojed on." m Fashion in Poker- Chips. 'Poker chips," said a man who deals in these necessary adjuncts to a game of draw and is himself a plajer of some twenty odd years of experience, "are selling ery rapidly now, and, as far as my own experience is concerned, the game becomes more popular every hour. Apparently even one is playing poker, but no one cares" for handsome chips. A few- jcars ago there was a rery extensive trade in iory chips, some of which are of the most costly character, and professional gambling-houses vied w ith each other in tho beauty of their chips. Then celluloid and like sub stances came in. and, as the police began to raid the gamblers, cheaper outtits were secured, until now the commonest sort of composition chips are in use all over town. Composition chips, after all, if well made, are as good as the ivory ones, particularly as they neer warp and they can be sized up accurately. For mjsclf, I think there is nothing so pleasant in front of a m-n as well-turned ivory chips if there are enough of them. We sell a great many chips to ladies, and form erly they used to buy the pretty little white and blue things, the size of tho top of your linger and as thick as a sheet of paper. They have gone out of fashion now, and everybody wants tho regular gambler's chip, which is as big as a trade-dollar and considerably thicker, ltig chips are much easier to handle than Tittle ones, and somehow a man can run a bluff w ith more success when the chips are big and important- looking than when they are liko so many buttons. Tho joy of the ganio is in bluffing, and hence the popularity of tho big chips." Xew York bun. m The Sea of Galileo. Ono of the first things for which I looked here was tho iKhing industry; but I found it not. There is evidently only one sailing vessel on the lake, and but a very small handful of clumsy rowboats. When one of ihco boats gets out of order there is general con sternation, it is aid, for the art of ship building is no longer known here When vvc sent out our setvant to-day with instructions to procure Galilee fish for dinner he was unable to find a singlo fish in the market. This is especially strange, inasmuch as" I have had positive evidence that tho waters swarm with piscatorial life to-day, just as in the days wiien ennst caiieii iialt lean fisherman to his discipleship. Yet tishing is still carried on here on a small scale. Een list night I saw a boat push out to sea with tie4s aboard, just as Simon did.no doubt, when ho was bound to "toil all night" at tho same business. This leads me to guess or, at least, hope, that the citizens were not piito so lazy and worthless in the days of the Son of Man. They could not hao been any worse. The modern Galilean would ride two-thiriN the wayatound the lake on the ragged back of a don key or a camel rather than display the enterprise required to effect a crossing in one-sixth the time b bo it. Stupid ity and cupidity are tnery where linked in a way that sorely tries Occidental patience. Cor. -V. 0. Tunes-Democrat. How- a Drunkartl Ilcfornicd. "I had noticed that men who made a business of buying and selling wines in large quantities sampled them and as certained their quality and bouquet by taking two or three niouthfuls in suc cessions, rolling it around their tongues as one might say, bathing their palates in it in short, subjecting it to the severest tests by the organs of taste and then ejecting it from the mouth without swallowing any. The remembranco of thiscameupon me one day when I was perfectly sober but terribly despondent. I rcsohed to try it. I did, and Ii.ue met with tho most gratifying success. You may laugh, but it is the solemn truth. I took o largo drink of liquor, but instead ol letting it pass into my stomach 1 checked it in my throat and gargled it for a minute and then spit it out. To my joy 1 found my thirst for it almost as much appeased as though 1 had swallowed the liquor. I tried it again and again with the same effect. 1 wa not made drunk. I have followed this plan eer since, and have not been drunk since, although I have gargled the liquor, never swallowing a drop, as many as a dozen or more times a dav the same number of drinks I used to take. The plan is a very simple one, and is, I believe, the only one for a slave to tho cup." "Has your appetite increased?" "On the contrary, it has decreased. By the means I adopted my brain ha become clear and strong again, and my will-power is as good as it ever was be fore I became a hard drinker. In garg ling the liquor I get all the benetit of the llavor and all the satisfaction to my appetite without losing my senses." San Francisco Call. Circumstance Alter Weather. "Johnny, run across the street to tho grocery and get me a cent's w orth of yeast." "Oh, mother; what do you want mo to go out in sich cold vv eatlier as this fur? You want me to freeze, do vou ?" Just then a boy chum of Johnny's whistled for him, and looking out the window and seeing the whistler with a pair of skates hanging on his arm, said : "Oh, mother, there's Sammy Holes out there with his skates and" wants me to go a skatin with him. Kin I go?" "It's too cold, son. You might freeze." "No, it hain't cold at all. Jist look out and see how warm it looks. I'll git j er j east." And he seized the cent lving on the table and was out and across to tho groceiy in a few seconds without even putting on his coat, which is a lirst-class sample of boy nature. Kentucky btate Journal. LOCAL NOTICES. Liver Complaint. Yes; you may well tay "complaint; lor if there is anything makes a poor mortal complain, it is to have bis liver out of order. Tbe liver is the great scavenger of the body. It gathers up reluse, works it into bile, and then works the bile off. It has a heavy con tract; and sometimes fails. Then there is a gene-al disturbance. That disturbance is quieted by taking Iirotvn's Iron Bitters. Mr. W, A.
