SHELBY The Pettit-Rinehart case from Shiloh, has been up for trial this week. We notice that Dr. Bricker has a street lamp in front of his residence. We trust our streets will soon be generally lighted up on dark nights by such lamps. The cost is but a trifle. Mrs. Brown is now on a visit to her old friends in Shelby, while her husband is engaged in his work, "The Government of Ohio". All were pleased to meet her after an absence of nearly fifteen years. Time has dealt very gently with her. Mr. Josiah Alleman from Williams County, is on a visit to his old friends in Shelby. We regret to learn that his wife died of Typhoid fever, September 30th. last, in the 41st. year of her age. Otherwise we learn that he has had prosperity attend him. We had a pleasant call from him.

The circumstances of his death are very sad. The foul demon of strong drink, gave the murderous blow that ended his life; which should be an effectual warning to many young men of our day. On Saturday night, the 27th. of December, Mr. Weaver, and a man named Carey, and others, were drinking, and as usual, a quarrel resulted between Carey and Weaver, who, previous to that evening, were friends. As the latter started for home, (brother-in-law he was visiting), the former followed, evidently with evil intentions. Weaver halted, the quarrel continued, and after a few words, Carey took up a stone, and, with a most terrible oath, struck Weaver on the head with a stone.
