nation a. follows: go
About 8 weeks ago over 80 new long,
narrow and open boxes, corked and tarred,
and made pointed at one end, were sent to
Wytheville in Wythe county, West Va
These boxes were styled pontoons.
Officers had arrived and sent out men to
collect strong, light wagons and good horses
from the farmers of the neighborhood.
1t was whispered among military men
that soon there would be raid made into
Ohio, and thae the pontoons referred to
would be drawn overland to either the
Neuse or Kanawha river and worked and
fioated down the Ohio, and that the same
would be crossed at two points, one column
going via Barbonrevills and Guiandotte.
1t was expected troops would arrive for
concentration from both the Eastern and
W estern rebel armies. In regard to the
above report I can only say that rumors
have been in circulation for some time past
of mysterious movements on the line Of the

SINGING is great institution. 1t oils
the wheels of care-supplies the place Of
sunshine. A man who sings has good
heart under his shirt fronr. Such man
not only works more willingly, but he works
more constantly. "A singing cobbler will
earn twice as much money as cobbler who
gives way to low spirits and Indigestion
Avaricious men never sing. The mau who
attacks singing throws stone at the head
OF hilarity, and would, if he could, rob June
Of its roses, or August of it's meadow larks.
