Editors Wheeling Register
The June term of the Circuit Court,
His Honor Judge Irvine still presiding,
has Just finished a session of one week
at Sutton, occupying for the first time
the new and commodious court house,
that was found to answer the purpose
admirably, though not completed; and
whether the house had anything partic-
ular to do with it or not, or whether it
was owing to other causes, deponent
sayeth not; at all events more business
was transacted at the present session
than was completed at the last two or
three courts. That all persons Interested
were satisfied with the decisions or YER
diets, is preposterous and not at all rea
sonable to suppose; however, the major
ity of the people acquiesced ia the bulk
of the decisions rendered The grand
jury, after an incubation OF three days,
found but very few indictments. The
books of the Board of Registration were
called for and examined, but no indict-
ments were made on the strength of the
evidence they contained. Little news of
interest or Importance Of general or
local character has transpired in this
quarter ot Lne moral heritage Slnco our
last feeble effusiOn, and from present
indications We cannot reasonably look
for any soon. The dull monotony of
every day lite drags it's weary length
aloRg with scarce perceptible variation.
1t is quite true that now and then some
person, or rather persons, gener-
ally of the younger classes will
come to the conclusion to get
married, and even go SO far as to
perpetrate that act, right too in face OF
the fact that the thermometer ranges
from 90 to 100 degrees Farenheit ''in
the shade" and rather on the increase.
Yet that, the most important event in
ones life, has by frequency become so
common that it attracts but little OF no
attention. The time was when if we
could not get to wedding by regular
invitation, we considered il rather a du-
ty to go and serenade the parties, rem der.
ing them as uncomfortable as possible IN
the house, while we suffered from cold,
hunger and fatigue out of the house.
Even tDaC ratner doubtful KIND OF pleas
ure is now dispensed with Though al
most forgotten, it is nevertheless fact,
that the day before yesterday Mr., James
M. Stewart and Miss Eliza, daughter of
William Davis, Esq, were married by
the Rev. Allen Skidmore-all, save the
Priest, of Sugar Creek, Braxton county,
w. Va. ,....
Since writing the foregoing, the new
Board of Supervisors of this county held
their first meeting, and organized by
electing Benjamin L, Bogges permanent
President, and retaining the former clerk
of the board. After brief session and
the transaction of but little business of
Importance, the board adjourned to meet
on the Goth day of July, when consider
able business will come before the body

Notwithstanding we have been little
short of rain before harvest, yet we will
not lose much by the little scarcity at
that time.
Our wheat crop along the South
Branch was never better than it is this
year. In quality it never was better,
and l suppose, from oil | could learn;
the quality will make up the difference
in quantity. l have passed over some
five counties recently, and ! suppose the
yield will be an average one. In Hamp.
SHIRE county, Mr.. Joseph C. Pancake
thought that some Of his would yield
twenty. i've bushels TO the acre. This
crop consisted of seyenty-fve acres. He
is an excellent farmer, and more than that,
he is most excellent christian gentle
man. The Patterson Greek Valley has
many fine fields Of grain along it,
In addition to this, our corn crop is
very promising of a large yield at pres
ent. A few more rains, and all will be
right as far as good crops are concerned.
Our acorn crop is also a heavy one. Our
fruit crop will be very light in most
places. There are some orchards that
will have some apples.
The weather has been, aud still is so
oppressively hot, that not even the
"swamps," or Radicals as you call them
can talk politics.
Some men that Arthur l. says are
Justices under his despotic crown, held
a farce court at this point few days

A Fortunate Kiss.

The following pretty little story is
narrated by Fredrika Bremen who
vouches for it's truthfulness: .
In the University of Upsula, in Sweden,
lived young student, a noble youth,
with great love for studies, but without
means for pursuing them. He was poor,
without connections Still he studied,
lived in great poverty, but keeping a
cheerful heart, and trying to look at the
future which looked so grim to him. His
good humor and good qualities made
him beloved by his comrades One day
he was standing at the square with
some of them, prattling away an hour of
leisure, when the attention of the young
men became arrested by young and
elegant lady, who by the side Of an older
one was slowly walking over the place
II was the daughter of the Governor of
Upsula, living in the city, and the lady
was her governess. She was generally
known for her goodness and gentleness
of character, and looked at with admira-
ton by all the students. AS the young
men stood gazing at her as she passed,
like graceful vision, one of them sad
denly exclaimed: -.
"Well, it would be worth something
to have kiss from such a mouth"
The poor student, the hero of our
story, who looked on that pure, angelic
face, exclaimed, as if by inspiration:
"Well, think could have it,"
well" cried his friends in a chorus,
ARE YOU crazy7 Do you know herr"
"Not at all" he answered, "but
think she would kiss me if | asked
l'her." ....... ..u..s

our eyes2 ..a' e..

"Freely?" ge.ra
Yes, freely.
well, if she would give you kiss in
that manner, l will give you thousand
dollars" exclaimed one Of the party,
And l." "and T." exclaimed three OF
four others, for it happened that several
rich men were in the group and the bets
ran high on so improbable an event. The
challenge was made and received IN less
time than we take to tell 1t.
Our hero, (my authority tells not
whether he was plain or handsome
have my peculiar reasons for believing
that he was rather plain, but singularly
good looking at the same time,) immedi
ately walked up to the young lady and
said:
mine fraulieu, my fortune is now il
your hands" ~ ..s
She looked at him with astonishment
but arrested her step He proceeded t,
state his name and condition, his aspirs
ton, and related simply what lad jus
now passed between him and his com
| rades.
The young lady listened attentiyely
and at h;S ceasing to speak, she sal,
blushingly. bait with great sweetness:

can be effected, it would be foolish TO

and outrages by both parties make up
the main facts Of the news The Liberal
cavalry had given a wholesome scare to
the residents of Vera Cruz, and had
made one or two small successful raids
on the Puebla Railroad.
