Wetzel county is still! entitled to the
credit of being the Banner County IN
the State. She gives four hundred and
eighty majority for rejection. Hamp-
shire county, with her four hundred and

to the number of votes cast, the ma

is far greater than that in any other
county from which we have yet received

Badly Taken In,

A few days since, some of the "Simon
Pure" radicals of this community, came
in and reported that Mr.. Valentine Stra
der had Rebel flag floating over his
house. Now all men in this county
know that Mr.. Strader has always been
one of the staunchest Union men in the
country, and the report bore on its face
prima Jacie evidence of its falsehood--
But the facts are so ridiculous that we
cannot refrain from giving them place
here.
Mr.. Strader lives some three miles
from town, near the residence of Mr. ].
j. Roger. 1t seems that this latter ger.
tleman was havinga good deal of trouble
about the crows taking up his corn. aud
had put up a few strips of red and white
cloth--commonly called "scare crow"
to keep them away, and these, the radi.
cal gentlemen who were doubtless seek
irg around whom they might deYour,

town and reported the Astounding fact

The Fenian Invasion.

-
The most exciting news we have for
publication this morning is that which
relates to the Fenian movement on
Capada. The detachment that captured
Fort Erie, seems to have done all that
brave men could do, but, all hope OF re-
enforcement being destroyed, and know
ing their inability to hold their position
against the overwhelming numbers OF
the enemy, they could do nothing else
than fall back and run the chances OF
capture by the United States troops
What disposition will be made Oh 'ne :
prisoners in the hands of the federai
authorities remains to be seen, but we
do not think it probable that they Will
be delivered to the Canadian govern
ment for trial, as some persons appie-
bend. The Confederate soldiers wno
made a raid upon st. Adams In 1904
were not delivered to the United states
government, but received sort OF trial
in Canada. We presume that, although
the circumstances are somewhat differ
emit. the st. Adams affair will be regard
ed as a precedent for this, and whatever
trial the JFenians receive will be at the
hands of United States officers.
The Fort Erie that the Fenians cap
tured is strong ratification of stone
on the Niagara river, in Canada, imme
diately opposite Black Rock, New York
