FOR Coopers kegl1tcr
Mr.. EDIroR In a short time we shall

gentlemen Of the Clarksburg District, to

ties of so responsible trust with credit
to himself and honor to the county, Mr.,
Barnett is we'll and favorably known
throughout the county for his energy OF
character and excellence of Judgment
He has vast fund of useful and practi-
cal knowledge, which, when employed in
the discharge of the duties of a Magis-
trate would be felt and seen in the in
creased vigor with which the public bust
ness would be prosecuted and is withal
a man of decisive integrity. 1t is the de-

For tho Register,

Mr.. ED1ToR Il see by announcements
in your paper that several gentlemen are
candidates for the Office of Commissioner
of the Revenue, and very good men per-
haps. and if elected, would, no doubt, en-
deavor properly to discharge the duties
of the office. l have always looked upon
this office as one of the most important in
the Commonwealth You are aware that
the county court has had, heretofore, the
power of appointing Commissioners, and
that, that l0orSh1fM body, when they did
not confer the office on one of their own
number, gave it to some relative or friend
of member Of the court and am sor-
ry to say without regard to qualification,
and the consequence has been very inju-
rious to the public; the land books are at
this time in most wretched condition.
1t has often happened, that landowners
after having paid their taxes, found their
land returned delinquent, and this in con-
sequence Of the bungling manner in which
these officers Perpormed their duty the
people have now the power in their own
hands, and it behooyes them to choose
for this important office, men capable to
the duties thereof. do not know what
qualification or fitness for the office other
candidates may possess-of this the peo-
pie must judge, but there is at least one
gentleman well qualified, and if elected,
have no doubt will give general satisfac-
ton, that is JAMES A. RoBEY the people
should elect him for one-he is man of
sound judgment, strong discriminating
mind, good and ready pensman, and
ian of industrious habits, and otherwise
peculiarly qualified for the Office. He
resides in the lower district and with those
who know him, he needs no recommen-
dation, for they know that in regard to
business qualifications " that he is honest /;
that he is capable" the only test required
by the immortal Jefferson. Let those,
therefore, who are not acquainted with
him make inquiry concerning him, and
my word for it, they will find him TO be
one Of the men they want for this Office /;
find one other as well qualified in the up.
per district and all will be right in the
opinion of OHE OF THE PEopIn

good tomatoes will take pains to cultivate
them so as to insure them as near as NAV

other fruit that delights more in air and

Capt Tyler, (E. B., not John) went
through our place, the other day, on his
return homeward after a most active and
successful winters campaign among tho
mountains of Western Yirginis. He has
long been engaged in the Fur Trade of
this region and is by far the most extern

Nimrod's dominion. Energetic, affable,
we'll informed and wide-awake. Mr.. Ty.
Ter is general favorite wherever he goes,
whether among the hardy hunters of our
mountain Businesses, or in the town and
villages he makes the depots of his trade.
From him we gather some items which
show the extent of this trade and which
may be not uninteresting to the public, at
home and abroad,
OF late years, (urs and pelts seem rather
to have increased than diminished in album
dance, if we may judge from the quanti-
ties passing our point, This apparent in.
crease is no doubt owing, in some measure
to the thorough and persevering efforts Of
the agent to collect these commodities
Last year, we are told, furs and skins
were shipped from ourwh&rfto the amount
of $4,000 or upwards in value. This
years collection greatly exceeds that
amount. Six or seven large wagons came
in, this week, loaded to the bows with pei.
