! The FairmOnt National, as we noted
in paragraph on the. capital question
day or two since, has been calling
Clarksburg an "old foggy" town. The
ePithet having run through the sieves
of the Buckhannon Republican and
Clnrksburg Telegraph, and been re-
peated by the National without catching
the extra So" we began to have grave
doubts whether to understand that
Clarllsburg was an old town of Gogs or
town of old Jogies, and we limited the
difficulty in the paragraph referred to
to. This week the National gracefully
apologies for its proof reader, and the

take Congress some six or eightlweeks
to decide upon their claims to seats. |
they may thus save a handsome little
sum, which will be convenient to paw
the passage home of such as cannot
take the test oath and therefore have
no chance to get into Congress. Be-
sides, they Will be out of the way of
the e'Scitements and temptations of the
Capital, and may chew the cud of their
discomfort without giving or receiving
We fear, however, that
the whole story is apochryphal.
