CITY AND STATE ITEMS

A TRACT AGENT ABROAD SnVi'
time since a gentleman in tins Guy WV

ansncv in this State for the American
Teoct Society and New York Bible House.
want into some of the interior counties
On business trip. He reashed a small
town on Saturday morning, and MADE
the acquaintance of several book deal
els, to whom he gave his card. The next
morning the agent was by friend in'ia
ed to go on fishing excursion, ana as IL
was such a beautiful morning nc was
unable to resist the temptation. HOOKS
lines etc. were purchased and the party
were soon seated on the shore OF the
creek, near bridge. A short time after
the angling operation commenced, one OF
the book merchants of the town crossed
the bridge on his way to Sabbath School,
and his surprise upon seeing the Tract
Agent engaged in angling on Sunday
can be better imagined than described:
He passed over the bridge, and said
nothing. After the Sabbath School was
opened, the Superintendent announced
that an Agent of the Tract Society was
in town. and as he thought it possible
bs might visit the school and address
the children, he urged the teachers to
hasten the scholars through the lesson
Immediately after thus announce
ment was made, the book dealer arose
in his class and said he would inform
the school that he saw the aforesaid
Tract Agent fishing in the brook as ne
passed over the bridge on his way to
school, and he thought it extremely
doubtful whether the angler would ad-
dress the children. The agent left town
the next morning.

FALL BoNNETs,-It is quite to early
too speak definitely of fall bonnots )
nevertheless we judge that there will not
he much change; they will still be per
united to retain their present varied and
picturesque forms, though, undoubtedly
the little crowns just set on the top OF
the head will be relinquished as the cold
season advances. Unfortunately, use
les for all practical purposes, as the
present style of bonnets are, they are
not uubecoming; instead of one fixed and
arbitrary shape, there are half dozen
equally fashionable, and ladies can there
fore suit their own style OF face
and feature better than they ever
conld before

The PUBLIC SCHooRs.-Never in the
history of our Public School system was
the attendance of children so large as 1t
is at present. Every school in the city
is crowded to its utmost capacity, many
OF the children being without desks.
Large numbers have been turned away,
and the cry is "Still they come" We
we're yesterday informed that there were
over two thousand children enrolled and
granted certificates of admission into
the schools. In some of the townships
it has become necessary to stop the 49,
suing of tickets, as there are no accom-
modations for moro pupils.
The regular meeting of the Board OF
Education will be held next week, when
it is expected arrangements will be made
tor the enlargement of the school houses
or the erection of new ones. 1t is to be
hoped speedy measures will be taken to
afford all the children in the city an OPP
portunity of obtaining an education.

RELEAsEp.-We understand that James
Ferguson, who was the leading radical
(; II the West Virginia Legislature winter
before last, has been pardoned by Gov
Bramlette, of Kentucky, and is now free.
1t will be recollected that Ferguson was
charged with stealing carpet-sack con-
tanning several thousand dollars, from
paymaster, on steamboat, near Ashland;
Ky. He was arrested and held to bail
for trial, but upon restoring the money
he was released. 1t is supposed that
his pardon was procured with view to
obtaining a suitable person to nominate
Mr.. Maxwell for Judge of the Court OF
Appeals at the recent disuniOn conven'
ton in Parkersburg'

A HAsTY WEDDING.-Nightb before last
a gay party of six persons reached THIS
city from Brooke county, and put up at
the Sprigg House, 1t seems that the
party stopped at West Alexander, while
on their way to this city, and at that
place one of the couples were married
The young couple understood each other
and before leaving their homes had, mn
known to their parents, agreed upon
the match, The young lady who was
married left home with a friend appar-
entity to take buggy ride. Before they
had proceeded far they were met by the
other two couple, they exchanged part,
uers, and made hasty trip 10 Hard

to Brooke county yesterday, and the
married couple went down the river to
enjoy a bridal trip

Congressional Economy.

We see that Congress is asked to print OF the
enlogies pronounced upon the late Mr. HENRY
WINTER DAVIS by Messrs. CREswELL and COL
PAX, in Washington on the 22d Of February,
THIRTY THOUSAND COPIES A very large order
for obituary printing had previously been
given In the way Of a book containing Hlr.
BAxcRoFr's eulogy upon the late President
LINCOLN, and all the public orations OF the
same character delivered in the different cities
Of the Union. Now, the printing OF Mr.. BAN
CROFT grafton is very proper thing, though
1t Is to be regretted that tho effort were not
better of itself deserving that distinction.
But TO bind up with 1t at public expense all
the ocean of rhetoric poured forth on the &C.
casion of the violent death Of the President Is
neither measure of good taste or public graf
ihcation.
With reference to the proposition to print
the eulogy on Mr.. DAVIS, who was not mem
Der of Congress or public officer at the time of
his death, it is violation Of all custom and
every consideration Of propriety. No man
ever lived whose party relations were so full
Of rancor and hatred, and no man ever died
who through his public career left less Of good
influences to bless his memory. The customs
have not changed for the better, either in the
matter Of taste or economy.

Immediately after the passage Of this reso,
luton, leave Of absence for one day was grantsa

CONTRACTS PAYABLE IN CONFEDERATE NOTES
House bill concerning contracts payable In
Confederate Treasury notes was taken up on
motion of Judge JoYNEs. II .
Mr.. Woopsos moved TO amend the scale OF
depreciation according to that proposed In the
Senate bill.
Mr.. BALDWIN was opposed to establishing
any general scale of depreciation, and SAID that
each case should be decided upon It's own mer-
It's He contended that Confederate currency
was commodity, and not money, and that the
Legislature had no more right TO estapilsh
scale of value for 1t than TO establish
similar standard Of value for corn or any other
commodity. In conclusion, he was in favor
of the general principle of the bill, but desired
TO strike out those sections fixing scale OF
depreciation.
BAYLOR, PATTERSON and JoYSEs took part, and
the WoODsoS amendment was then rejected.
Mr.. CABELL then moved to strike out the
third section, and insert scale OF deprecia-
| ton, which he said was based upon table
which had been furnished him by Mr.. Z. w.
Purcell, of Richmond.
Mr.. WHITE advocated the amendment, which
was warmly opposed by Mr.. GILES, who con-
tended that the proposed scale WAS Bloss III
| Justice to the whole northwest
The amendment offered by Mr.. CABELL was
then agreed to--ayes, 40; noes, 40.
| Mr. BOOKER then moved TO reconsider the
vote by which the CABRLL amendment was
| adopted which was rejected.
AN amendment offered by Mr.. JoYSEs, to
make the provisions of the bill applicable to
| Iepacies and requests, was agreed TO.
| Mr. DAVIS offered an amendment providing
that contracts or debts paid upon the above
scale shall be paid in specie or its equivalent
Agreed to.
The bill was then ordered TO its engrossment
and third reading.
TAX BILL.
House bill imposing taxes for the support OF
Government was taken up, and the Senate
amendment providing that nothing in the act
shall apply to delinquents for taxes who are
not residents. Agreed to.
| THE STAY LAW.
| House bill staying the collection of debts was
| taken up, with Senate amendments. The
House refused to agree to the Senate amend
ments and joint resolution for the appoint
ment of committee of conference to con-
slider the difference between the two Houses
was adopted-Messrs. MARSHALL, JoYNEs
SEAwELL, GRAY, and CABELL.
The House then adjourned.
