difficult operations known to surgery, and yet
for five years, not a single case has terminated
fatally. Among which are VIM. Van Horn, OF
Carrollton, both legs drawn double for IS year,.
tendons divided and limbs Strengthened. Isaac
Barger, CadiZ, diseased leg for many years limb
amputated and quick recovery. A son of Il.
FreShwater, near Steubenville, Cancer of the
eye covering the lace, eye and tumor removed
and rapid recovery, also Mrs. Kelly, OF Bell

to mention two of the most daring and success

diseased bones Of Pelvis. long since pronounced
incurable; DIR. $. assisted by Dr. Workman OF
Cadiz, made an incision inches in depth and
removed a portion of the internal surface OF tho

To The Editor Of He Belmont Chrolticie:

the Democratic boast of electing officers
in this Township, or that it was an un-

Flushing Township to assert over his

succeeded in electing single Township

No one has deemed it prudent to do So

me that, if any further allusion was
made in the Gazette as to his politics, he
would reply in person. Why he did not
do so, lido not know; but this / do knotY,
that ever since he has been in this Town

Flushing Township delegation at the
last County Convention of the Union
party at Belmont, and took an active
part in selecting delegates to represent
this Township in that Convention. the
Congressional Convention, in selecting
a member of the Central COMMITTEES and
then and there accepted the appointment
as delegate to the Judicial convention
at Barnesville; that at our Convention
at Rock Hill to nominate Townsbin Of
ficers, he publicly stated, when inter
rogated on the subject, that he had voted
the Union ticket ever since he had been
in this Township, and that he had never
voted but once before.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR TowN-BUsI-
NESS PRosPECTs.-The buildings that
have been erected i'm st. Clairsville dur
ing the past year, and those that are un-
der way and in contemplation, will give
a changed appearance to our Streets
One year hence, set the denizen of ten or
twenty years ago down on the principal
square on Main street, and he would MT
recognize many of the old landmarks.-
The new buildings are of the most superb
and handsome character. The time has
gone by when any old den will do to
transact business in, and in their stead
we have elegant and substantial brick
buildings, built in the most stmodern style,
. and presenting an appearance that would
not do discredit to large city.
The most important of these improve
ments is that now being constructed by
Mr.. H. G. Welday. The building will
have 66 feet front and be 20 feet deep
Twenty-six feet off the West end will be
fitted up for dwelling, and will be pro-
vided with all the modern improvements
and conveniences, among which will be
appliances to conduct water for bathing
from the cistern, under the building, into
all the bed-chambers upstairs. Next
will be the banking room, and behind it
the vault and directors room, to be used
by the First National Bank. Beyond
this will be the finest store room in town.
Over the store room and Bank there will
be a concert hail. 40 feet wide and 20 feet
deep, and which will comfortably seat
500 people. The stage will extend across
the entire rear end of the hall, and will
be fitted with wings, &C., so that it will
be available for any kind of exhibitions.
The business front will be iron.
Never before, perhaps, were there such
large stocks of goods in town as at the
present time. Our merchants all appear
to be doing good business, too. For
merly, when person wanted to purchase
anything, it must be done in Wheeling;
but we are glad to believe that that time
has gone by, and that our people have
learned that they can buy goods as cheap
at home. Whenever all have learned
this fact, and act upon it, all will be bet
ter off.

Mr.. Chas. Collins is repairing the frame
buildings belonging to him, a short dis

The foundation walls of Mr.. Welday's
new building are being put up very rap
idly, and we notice that the large stone

Mr.. Joe King has laid new pavement
in front of his house, below this Office
much needed improvement.

County, has been elected President of
the National Bank of West Virginia, at
Wheeling, vice James w. Paxton.
Do MT forget the meeting next Satur-
day, to appoint delegates to the Union
State Convention.
George w. Poorman, formerly of the
18th Ohio Infantry, has been appointed
Second Lieutenant in the seth u. S.
Infantry, stationed at Fort Kearuey,
Nebraska. He is ordered to report to
the examining board at Louisville on the
Goth inst.
Farmers complain that the ground
squirrels are injuring the growing corn
considerably.
An addition is to be built to the Coun-
ty Infirmary.
The Commissioners have determined
to grade the yard in the rear of the Court
House, so as to carry the water away
from the public buildings.
Mr.. Frazier expects to put another
"story" on his hotel this Summer. The
brick are being made for it now, and the
work will be commenced in few weeks.
The County Commissioners have been
in session since Monday.
The "Bellaire' Mutual Building Asso-
citation" will elect officers on the 4th of
July.

SOME two months ago, when the lobby
was carrying things with high hand at
Albany, the New York Union League
passed resolutions rebuking the State
Legislature, and demanding that it
should purge itself or adjourn. The
league resolutions were offered in the
Senate and kicked out but the League
found ready defender in the New York
Tribune. Indeed, says the Albany Jour
nal, the League was never so arrogant
never so unjust, never so ridiculous, but
that the Tribune encouraged its assump-
ton. 1t was only when the League step
ped on Greeley's pet corn that the PhilO-
sopher squealed ON the inarrow- minded
blOckheads" so lately his friends.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-Although
the docket is very heavy, business seems
to drag. This is mainly owing to the
fact that the attorneys are indisposed or
unprepared for trial. But few cases have
been tried to the jury, and none of them
were very important.
The Grand Jury found bills of indict-
ment against the following individuals:
Oliver It. Cross, for burglary and lar
ceny.
Lucien F. Bramhall, assault with in
tent kill.
Samuel Logan, excepting ferry without
out license.
George X. Jenkins, keeping ferry with

The Crops and business Prospects.
The Cincinnati Gazette says /:

lhC ouHtllC says.
Flour has already declined about So 90
per barrel from the highest point, and at
the reduced rates there is an unwilling
ness on the part of holders to carry
stocks. We must not, however, look for
very low prices for wheat or flour. The
stocks, it must be borne in mind, are
very nearly exhausted, and it would re-
quire Jorge portion of a full crop to give
us the usual surplus. But while farmers
will receive handsome returns for wheat,
consumers will not find it necessary to
pay famine prices. Next TO wheat, in
point of time, comes the hay crop. This
will be large, full yield being already
assured. The fruit crop may be consid-
cred out of danger, and it is safe to say
that the yield, not only in the West but
throughout the United States, will he eX-
traordinary. This remark applies to all
kinds.
Corn is backward, but it is now COM
ing forward rapidly. The amount plant
ed is very large, and with favorable
season corresponding yield may be ex-
pected. But as it will take 60 days to
put this crop out of danger of dry wealth
er, nothing definite can be foreshadowed.
Oats promise well, and ofpotatoes a large
amount has been planted. The early
crop will yield largely. The result of the
late crop is, of course, in the future.
And now, as people have made up
their minds that good crops will be at
tended with revival of business, and
the prospects being favorable for large
harvest, confidence is. already gaining
strength in financial and commercial
circles, and indications are noticeable of
preparations for active fall trade.

No PLACE LIKE OLD BELNioNT.-We
have recently met two or three gentle
men who have returned with their fam
lilies from the West. They did MT like
the country, and have concluded to pitch
their tents again in Old Belmont.
We are told that, in localities, at least,
in Missouri, the trades are overcrowded,
living is exhorbitantly high, and there
is considerable suffering among the poor
er classes. This is due, partly, to the de-
vastati0ns of the war, and is confined
mainly to the mushroom towns that-have
sprung up along the lines of travel. A
man of moderate means, able to buy and
stock a moderate farm, can doubtless do
well in Missouri-better, we have no
doubt, than he can do here; but we be-
lieve mechanics and professional men
are already there in abundance.

A LETTER in the milwaukee, Sentinel
says:
For those in doubtful anxiety as to
what will be the consequence of the
backwardness of the season, it may be
of some consolation to he reminded that
here, in Wisconsin, in 1852, the spring
was so backward that stock had to be
fed till the 25th of June before sufficient
heritage appeared to sustain it =; and corn
planted the 10th of June, never since
has yielded heavier or ripened better.

THE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-The
weather for week past has been delight
full, and under the influence of the bright
sun and warm rains the corn and other
cereals are growing magnificentfy., In
deed We never saw time in which the
corn grew faster than 1t did last week.
Wheat, too, is doing splendidly. If an
average breadth had been sowed, the yield
would have been enormous; but, as it is,
if not damaged hereafter, we will have
no cause 70 send abroad for flour next
year. All kinds of fruits also promise
well. The damage from frost has been
only nominal.
