CLAREsBuRG, Sept, 28th, 1859.
MR. EDToR:-It was my privilege last
week to deliver two lectures on the above
subject and give practical demonstrations
Of the reality of the science. My presence
here, or some other reason has called out
the Rev. Martin against Magnetism and
other subjects which he is pleased to con-
slider adjuucts thereto. Had he lave in
formed himself he would no doubt have
suspended his auathemNs. l assert that
Magnetism is reality-is useful, and en-
iucntly worthy the attention of in elligent
minds. l shall be here few days, and
hope that all who heard the gentleman
will do themselves the pleasure to see and
hear the other side for themselves. If
Mr.. NJ. or any of his friends feel inclined
to try their hand at discussion they can
be accommodated without much difficult
~. have some certificates from physi-
clans who a,e known in this place, which
are at the service of tho doubling,
JOHN WOLFF.
N. B. A tooth will be extracted from
person in the magnetic sleep without his
knowledge of the operation, this evening
Sept 90, in the Court House.
EE- A single remark made last Thurs
day evening without any reference to Mr.,
W., or knowledge of his arrangements
has. perhaps, occasioned the above. The
gentleman is entirely mistaken about hes
"presence here" having given rise to
anathemas" in the quarter referred to,
but, one sentence having had such an
effect, must justify no further notice being
taken of himself, his courteous card, or So
called science.

BILE then, without an. effort, to expect to
see ,Chrksburg anything more than itnow
is? Mrs, Dombey died, for the want of
an etfort--so will dierou bank. Wehear
from the people in the country that they
are interested in the prosperity Of their
county town, but they say that at the
places named for the receiving of the sub
seriptions; a copy of the charter is not to
be seen, nor is there any one to explain
to them its provisions, or to interest him,
self, particularly in procuring the stock
to be taken. 1t Is every body's business,
and therefore. nobody sbustness. Besides,
they hear that but $4,000 of stock has
been taken in Clarksburg. and that the
citizens of the town have suffered 1t 10 die
for the want of an effort. Will not some
one or more of our influential citizens take
hold of this matter and never let 1t go un.
ill their efforts are crowned with success?
All that is wanting is for our men of capi-
tai and property to withdraw portion of
their capital from where it is at present
invested, or convert part of their pro-
perty into present means. and invest it in
bank stock, which will yield as much pro-
fit as they are now receiving from their
capital or their property,
Hero are ourturnpike roads from Buck
harmon, Weston, Fairmont and Phillippi,
suffered to grow worse and worse every
year, when if kept in proper repair, they
ought to be getting better and better.-
These roads, half the time, arc dangerous
to travel upon, to say nothing of the inn
possibility of hauling over them more than
half load. The public is interested in
these improvements, and some body ought
to wake up the superintendents. The
board of public works, if informed, would
wake up their proxies. and the stockhold-
ers should quicken their directors. The
roads were originally constructed fullnar-
row, and they arc permitted for the want
of proper repairs. to get narrower: With
a little more public spirit and attention to
the improvements made for us, and the
advantages thrust upon us, Clarksbure
might be made much more important
place than it now is. II we would but
keep up with the progress of the age. in
less than seven years our town would con
tain not less than 5000 inhabitants, and
we would have trade that would enrich
merchants, mechanics and all but If we
plod on in the way we have been going
Clarksburg will "grow small be degrees,
and beautifully less" There is no such
thing as standing still now, il we do not
go forwards, we will certainly progress
backwards. Property in ClarkSburg at
this time, is worth less than il. any little
county town around us. The amount OF
enterprise and expenditure wanted to give
an impetus to business here, would be re-
turned four-fold in the increased value Of
property alone.
The condition even Of our streets, speaks
badly for our citizens. and our courthouse
ia reproach to any people, 1t is said
it's condition was used before the legisla-
ture with great effect, and to the preju
dice of our application for the District
Court.
