A correspondent Of the Wheeling
REGISTER, writing from Parkersburg,
gives the members Of the editorial fra
ternity who attended the Convention
in that city last week a thrust. He is
rather severe npon some of the radical
editors, but as he deals mildly with MS
we will not complain. He speaks of
the editors having been "feted, boated,
and driven at the expense of the city,
in rather grumbling terms. Now, II

prepared such good cheer for the. edi-

prepared. If the landlord could sus-
tain the damages the city certainly

From the Parkersburs Gazette
THE PEACH CROP.-The prospect for
large, peach, cropin this neighborhood.
is said to be very flattering. Tho long
continued cold weather has had
the effect of keeping the sap down and
buds from expanding, and if they are
not injured by late frost the crop will
be equal to that of 1864.
THE WHEAT CRor.-The new wheat
crop will come upon market more bare
than has been experienced. for several
years. And we learn that there is not
more than one-fourth of the usual
amount of land soyed, and q great deal
of that was frozen ont in March. Yet, II
the harvest turns ont as well Qs it now
promises, we will have tOierabie fair
yield.
RsPE-A big buck negro committed
q rape upon the person of a little negro
girl living ont near the old Hospital, on
last Friday night. To prevent the
child from screaming he held wisps of
hay across her mouth. He was discov-
cred, however, aud arrested by police
men Burns and McNulty and taken be-
fore Justice Smith who committed him
to Jail to await a hearing at the next
term of the Circuit Court.

Baptism was administered upon a
yonng man last Sunday at our wharf,
in presence Of the congregation of the
A. B. Church, and some Others.
LARGE SHIPMENT OF CoAL.-The h.
s. o. Coal Company's steamer Kanawha
left this river for Cincinnati on Thurs
day with seven barges in tow, contain
ing 5000 bushels of coal.
VANDAILsM.-We are informed that
some fiends in human form, Vandals or
barbnrians, not having the fear of God,
the good of their fellows, OF of their
own souls, in their hearts, entered the
Free School House ut Black Hawk Hol-
low on Monday night, the 22d ult,
open the door, and, after tear
ing pp and destroying what books they
could find, scattered the fragments in
and around the house. E - s

CoURT.-COurt commences In Morgan
County on the second Monday of this
and in this County on the third
Monday. We understand the proba-
bility is that the June term Of the JEFF
ferson Court will be passed by, and
Court will be continued in this County
for six weeks instead of three.
MINERAL COUNTY AuEAp.-We are
pleased to see through the columns of
the New Greek Onion Banner, that the
authorities Of Mineral County are de-
termined to support good newspaper,
by giving it good paying advertise
ments. They publish not only the pro-
ceedings of the Board of Supervisors,
bnt every officer has published an
official account of his proceedings, in
order that the people may know what
he has been doing. This is right and
proper. 1t is due to them that they
should know what officials are doing,
and the only proper way of informing
them is through the columns of the
paper.
