Mr.. EDITOR Allow me in behalf oil
my section of the county. to bring to the
notice of the voters of Harrison, for the
Office of County Clerk. the name Of Col
Cyrus VANCE, gentleman. who it will
be readily conceded on all hands, is both
honest and capable, and who would dis
charge the duties of that Office with fl
deity worthy of himself, and gratifying
to those who would by their suffrages
elevate him to that Office.
Col Vance is generally known to the
people of this county and is as generally
acknowledged to be gentleman-he is
kind and affable in his manners-per-
fcctly free and frank with every one
ever ready to do a favor, and often
obliging beyond his ability.
One fact, recommends the name of Col.
Vance strongly to the consideration of the
people. which is, that he has ever stood
aloof from a certain clique which has al
ways controlled the affairs, and particu-
larry the offices of the County. He is
emphatically one of the people, and not
one of those who regard the people as
theirs He is also a mechanics laboring
man-One who 'earns his bread by the

limit. The surveyed routes are much
more direct than the features of the coun-

Mr.. CoopER.--Please announce through
your paper that there will be meeting of
the Democratic party of Harrison county
held at the Court House on Thursday,
the 9Th of March next, (court-day,) for
the purpose of appointing delegates to
the State Convention to be held in Rich
mond on the gath day of March. And
lift is at that time thought advisable,
some action will be had in relation to our
county officers under the new Constitu-
ton, Our party has everything in their
own hands and should make no compro-

mise when they will be benefited but never
otherwise let our party act harmonious

in the Democratic faith.

ed upon to fill the Office of Judge Of this
Circuit. The Office is high and respon.

From the best information can OBJ
tain, the people of Randolph county pre-
fer the election of Col. G. D. CAMDEN, OF
Harrison. They know him-they have
confidence in him as private citizen.
and believe he has all the necessary quail
ifeations to fill the Office with honor to
himself and the satisfaction of the people.
We therefore recommend him to the peo-
pie of the Circuit.

of Hampshire county. having became
convinced of the necessity of a proper or
ganization of the party, have held pre-

ANOTHER F1RE-QU1cK WoRK.-On last
Wednesday morning, the 18th inst, at
about half past 8 o'clock, flames were
discovered bursting from the rooi of a
small frame building used by Jas. P.
Bartlett since the burning of his hotel as
bar-room, ware-room, &C., and in a short
time the entire upper story and siding of
the building was destroyed. Loss about
$1,000, principally in bedding and clo-
thing saved from the previous conAagra-
ton We believe there was no insurance,
The fire originated accidentally. In one
hour from the time the fire was discover
cd, and before it was entirely extinguish-
ed, we observed workmen engaged in
measuring for the purpose of rebuilding
the structure and in twenty-four hours
from the time of the fire, it was so far
completed, as to be re-occupied. An en-
tire new roof new siding, new floor.
and two new chimneys having been con,
structed in that almost incredible short
time. Mr.. Bartlett is certainly one of the
most energetic men with whom twas ever
our fortune to become acquainted. 1t is
the first time that we ever heard of a
house been burnt up and rebuilt in the
same day.

Tyler County, Va, left home last Octo-
Der, with a 10. Of cattle, which he sold
near Romney, and as he could not get his
money for some two or three days, he
sent his horse home with his hired hands,
and he stated to them that he would re-
turn in the Stage SO soon as he received
his pay for his cattle. He did no: return
according to promise, and the general
superstition was that he was murdered
near the place where he sold his cattle,
as no account could be had of him after
he received his pay from his purchaser,
