An Affecting scene-..A Child Taken
Away From its Mother IN the Nor
gantoWn Court House.
From The Afor0antolOn Post.

The last day of our Circuit Court ex-
hibited scene the like of which has
never been witnessed in our county be-
fore, and which it is to be hoped may
never be witnessed again.
It occurred in the matter of the
hnbedS corpus granted at the instance OF
Clark Everly against his wife for the
rendition of the body of a child born to
the parties prior to their separation.
Saturday last was consumed i'll the
examination of witnesses touching the
character of the husband and his fitness
for the custod yoft the child. 1t was very
interesting little babe, only about four
teen months old, aud called forth the
wnrnest sympathies of the by-sta nders'
The mother resisted the application
on the ground that her husband had
voluntarily abandoned her shortly
after the child was born, and left her
at the house of her father, (James
Lazzell, of this county, and had made
no provision for her maintenance since
that time, [about one year ago. and
that the child was of delicate health,
and ofsuch tender years that it requir-
ed that attention and care which
mother alone could bestow.
should deliver the child to the father
1t was then that a scene occurred
that beggars description. The mother
pressed her infant to her breast anC
clung with all the tenacity of life to the
object of her fond hopes. Her louc
sobs and agoniZing shrieks sent such
thrill of sorrow to the hearts of the by
ISLANDERS as only the voice of woman
in distress can impart. The HUSBAND
endeavored to wrest it from her arms
but could not do it, when the Sheriff
stepped forward to carry out the ordei
of tbe court, and succeeded in obtain
ing the child. The loud cries of the
mother thus doubly widowed, were
heard for several squares from the
court house, as she was led away sup
ported by her father and brother. Th'
| world to her was indeed empty, ane
she could exclatm, with lady Maxwell
'sFate, drop the curtain; l can lose NJ
more." -.
We do not know whether this Is Law
or not; but SUPPOSE it must have beer
so, or the judge presiding would no
have so decided. If il is, however, II Il
| a burning shame on American civiliza
tlon to thus tear from the mother!

that in this country. where 1t Is on

| virtue and affection of our women, ina
the law should be amended by the Leg
islature to at once remedy the evil ant

rending scenes.

1Ir. wilson's Nev BIN for EquaIizIns

The bill reported and passed in the
Senate, Tuesday, and as passed by the
House on Friday last, for the equali-
cation of bounties differs from the pre-
vious bill by more stringent provisions
to prevent the bounties passing into
the hands of spectators. The bill
provides for the payment of bounties
to the amount of eight and one third
dollars per month for the whole time
of service, from which is to be deduct
ed the bounties already received. Sol
diers discharged on account of wounds,
and widows and heirs of soldiers de-
ceased are to have the same bounty as
though the full term of enlistment had
been served. No soldier who has sold
his discharge can receive bounty, and
agents and attorneys are excluded al
together from procuring or collecting
the bounties. All claims must be pre-
sented within year after the passage
of the act. There are various restric-
tions to prevent fraud, and there are so
many forms to be gone through that
the war and treasury departments will
need an army of special clerks and
paymasters for years to come to meet
the requirements of the bill.
The report accompanying the bill
makes the following estimate of the
amount of money it will require:-
"The whole number of troops credit
ed throughout the war, on all calls, was
653. .O62; and according to the official
statements of the war department,
I,24S,27S men have already been pald
the fnIl amount of 800 per year. .Ac-
cordinp To the most reliable data that
can be obtained, the actual amount oil
money required to carry out the pro,
visions of the bill and mete out equal

The Wheeling Intelligencer.

Every farmer, every mechanic, every citt-
zen in fact, OF West Virginia, Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio, should have a
copy of the INTELLIGENCER in his family
either the Daily, the TrI-Weel1ly or the
| Weekly, according to the mail conveniences
OF each subscriber.
This summer will witness an exciting pO-
litIcal campaign in all three OF these States, as
it will, indeed, throughout the country. In
West Virginia we are to elect next October a
| Governor, an Auditor, a Secretary OF State, a
Treasurer, an Attorney General, a Judge of
the Court of Appeals, members OF the Legis-
lature, Congressmen, sherihs and other conn-
ty officers. We have beHore us one of the
most important elections occurring since we
| became State in the Union.
Our netghbors in Pennsylvan also elect
Governor and a general State ticket, and in
| Ohio they elect Congressman and members Of
| the Legislature.
Therefore, 1t is that the people generally of
| the three States need to keep themselves
thoroughly posted up on the progress OF our
| national affairs.
The great problem of Reconstruction Is to
receive definite and permanent shape this
summer and fall. Congress will possibly re-
main in session for several months yet. In
| deed 1t Is suggested that 1t may not adjourn
at all. The relations of the Government to-
ward the seeded States are of an unprece-
dented character, and In the successful settle
ment of our difficulties are bound up the
future veal or woe of the country. No ma.
tion was ever before situated as are these
United States to-day. We have an immense
debt and a large disafected population to
manage. The discussions in Congress and in
the public Journals OF the country on the
wide range of topics involved in these issues
will be OF the first importance to every citi-
zen What shall we do with the rebels, po-
| lItically? What shall we do with the negroes3
| What shall wedo in the matter of national
finances? These are great questions. Read
ing and thinking men must become absorb
ed in them.
A good paper is therefore necessity of the
times in every household. No man who ap-
preclates the educational and developing In
fuences OF q newspaper among his children
will be without one. 1t is a constant school
| to their minds, and the cheapest teacher in
the world. He who does not afford his chill
dren the advantages OF newspaper fails to
discharge principal duty as n parent.
In order to put the IETELLIGENcERw within
the reach OF every citizen, and in order to Of
fer to every friend Of the paper an induce
ment to solicit subscribers among his friends
and neighbors, we propose from now until
the end OF the great campaign, in October
next, the following

the "happy couple" to ioin hands,
which they did after much persuasion, ,
and the following scene occurred:

JOHN. THE BAPT1sT.-When that
crowd dispersed at sunset, and John
was left alone in the twilight, with the
infinite of darkness deepening around
him, and the roll of Jordan by his side,
rejecting the chaste clear stars, there
was something there higher than Pha-
risaic forms to speak to him-there
were heaven and eternity to force him
to be real. This life was swiftly pass
ing. What is it to a man living like
John, but a show and dream3 He
was homeless upon earth. Well, but
beyond-beyond-in the blue eternities
above-there was the prophets home.
He has cut himself off from the sour
ces of life. He was TO make an enemy
of the man of honor, Herod. He has
made an enemy of the man of religion,
the Pharisee. But he was passing in
to that country where it matters little
whether a man has been clothed in
finest linen or in coarsest camel's hair;
that still country, where the struggle
storm of life is over, and such as John
find their rest at last, in the home OF
God, which is reserved for the true and
the brave.-RobertSon's Life and Let

HOW to Prepare Wool for Market.

Producers of wool will consult their

Farmers. when "unwashed" wool IS
spoken of, are very apt to place too lit
aral a construction upon the term.
Commercially speaking, it means the
wool of sheep that have been washed
and then allowed to run too long before
clipping. They should be clipped with
in seven or ten days of washing, at the
outside. Ifnot, although the wool may

Itisa noticeable fact that the Europe
an governments in their preparations
for war make haste to follow our e1-
ample in the suspension of specie pay
ments and the creation of paper legal
tender. In Austria an imperial decree
relieves the national bank from the
obligation of giving specie in payment
of its notes on presentation, and the
government has reserved for itself the
issue OF one form and five form notes,
which must be accepted at their full
nominal value as legal tender. Ihe
amount of these government notes put
in circulation is not to exceed $50, ,OOO,-
600 forms, and the national bank will
be compelled to pay in its own bank
notes of higher value the equivalent
for any sum presented to it in the one
and Ave florin notes ofthe government
cnrrepcy. Similar action has been
taken in Italy, where the national bank
bills have been made legal tender
only by this means could these powers
meet the heavy expenses of war, and
thew are certainly prompt to avail
themselves of the benefits and evils o.
an expansive currency.

I'VE learn that a number of men at
Walkerton, having suspected one Phillip
Shultz of stealing q certain mans pocket
book, took him into an upper room and
hung him, in order to make him confess,
and on falling to make him do so on the
first trial. they put him up. again, and kept
him up SO long that when let down life was
to bring him too. Afterward the pocket
book was found and Shultz proved limo
cent. He Is a returned soldier, and has
commenced proceedings against his perse-
cutors." J
We learn that young man by the name
of Frederick Yeckle whose parents live
near Marion, Ohio, hung himself on Sun
day last, in the barn of Mr.. John Dick, of
Polk township, in this county. No cause
is known for the commission of the rash
act. He had been a soldier in one of the
Ohio regiments for nearly five years, and
we understand had been in this county on
~ three or four weeks, during which time
he had traded for farm, and paid $500
down on it. He was about twenty five
years of age, and was said to be quiet,
temperate, industrious and economical
