The Moundsville National has the fol-
lowing: s0 '''.'.' ."
The large amount of wheat, corn and
oats, which have been kept up by our
farmers, has been thrown into the mar
ket with great rapidity for some time
past. -l,rf,4s .'' -.
FRUIT PROSPECTS. = Although the
cherry bloom was ryprolific, the yield
is likely to be very light. The binds
were evidently injured with the late
frosts, and the fruit, nearly half grown,
is falling offthe trees. The early varie-
ties are rotting OH account of the exces-
sive wet weather, and on the whole
there will be a light yield. The rot is
also injuring the early varieties OF
plsms. Peaches are looking very well,
and an abundant yield may be expect
ed, unless some evil not now known
shall befall them. .-e.f
TROUBLE Ar BIG RUN.-A rather sim
gular affair occurred at Big Run, about
three miles from Cameron, on Thurs
day morning last. The facts, as near as
we can learn. are as follows On
Thursday morning last, about 9 o'clock,
a Mrs. Truman, who lost her husbapd in
defense of his country. and her chill
dren were on the premises OF Charles.
Bonar, when his daughter ordered them
Oft. They went back home. and shortly
afterwards Mrs. Truman returned with
several rocks in her hand which she
hurled at Miss Bonar. She then ap-
preached Miss B, and drawing butch
er knife, which she had concealed about
her person, made several blows, each
taking effect, but none of serious ma
ture except one which came near sew
ering the jugular vein. We are Of the
opinion there was previous difficulty
between the parties, which led to the
above rash act. .-l..--i, . B

A revival of religion has been pro-
crossing in the church of Gree born
Americans of African descent" in this
place, during the past week.
On Saturday last, q little son of Mr..
Robert Holyfield, of this county, while
playing with a kitten in the house, ac-
cidentally fell ont the door and broke
his thigh.
We are informed by reliable citizens
that there are a few families in Nor
gantown, the parents of whom beat
most numerically their little children
for the slightest otfense. Indeed, 1T is
asserted that cow-hides, welded by the
arms of stout men, are applied to the
backs of little children six and eight
years of age, and it is said their piteous
cries are enough to chill the blood of
the neighbors for squares. We deem 1t
our duty to bring this matter before
the public.
From tho Clarksburg Conservative
"TuE WORLD MOvEs."-The other
day, one Of the butchers that peddle
meat in our town, was applied to by
one of our most respectable citizens for
a piece Of steak. The butcher held it
up and called to one of our fellow-citi-
zens cob de African scent" who was
sleepily leaning against lamp-post,
and asked him if he wanted it, Sambo
replied, while lazily sauntering towards
tue wagon-'I 'dnO," when the butcher
kindly told the citizen that he might
have it. The citizen abruptly turned
Oh his heel with an injunction to the
butcher to 90 to a certain warm latl-
tude that all good men seek to avoid.
The travelling correspondent OF the
Conservative refers to the condition OF
the crops on the road from Harrison to
Braxton. He says:
The cultivation of the yonng and
promising corn crop seemed to be the
leading business along the way. The
growing crops in Calhoun, Gllmer ana
Braxton counties look very fine. Peaches
are abundant every where.
We would like to make our usual ex-
tracts from the Clarksburg Telegraph,
but for some reason the last number
failed to reach. Don't overlook rs,
General.

FLoUR.-The high price of flour still
prevails-best brands sly.
THE LATE TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS
The late township elections in this
county, we understand, resulted in the
election of four Radical Supervisors and
three Conservatives.
THE CRoPs.-The fruit and grain
prospects are excellent in this part of
the State. The peaches, cherries, ap-
pies, &c, are very large, and in vast
quantities. The corn and other grains
have improved very much during the
last few days. Indeed, the late warm
rains have had propitious effect upon
vegetation generally. Everywhere the
prospect of great crops is unprecedent-
cd, and without wishing i'll to our far
mer friends, but, on the contrary, desir-
ing that they may have full granaries,
we do hope for fall i'll the price OF
breadstuffs, now so oppressive to the
poor of all classes.
From the Parksrsburg Gazette.
The Masonic fraternity Of this city
will give a pleasure party at Mt. Hope
next Monday, the oath inst. A good
time is anticipated.
SPRING RACEs.-The Parkersburg
Turf Association begun their sports on
Tuesday last, in fine style. The track
was heavy On account of rain in the
forenoon; but the afternoon was bright
and beautiful. While the running was
not of the fastest upon record, it was
highly interesting.
SANITARY.-There seems to be q lack
of interest on the part Of our city off,
cials in taking the necessary steps for
preserving the health of the city this
summer. Those green-coated ponds,
for which Parkersburg is famous, are
still permitted to send forth their nau-
seating odors, with very little, If any,
prospect of abatement.
