Brother Barker first became known to
fame in this County, about tie year
1856. He was then fresh from NJ aine, and
supposed that with his extraordinary abili~
ties, he would encounter but little difficulty
in inocuating the Mountaineers with his fa-
natical Abolition notions. He however soon

overwhelming rout which his party encoun-
