MATRIMONIAL.-Rev. N. B. Edmund
son, of this place, informs us that with
in the past ten years and four months
he has Joined in the bonds Of wedlOck,
in the State of West Virginia, eight
hundred and seventy-two couples. We
doubt very much if there can be found
in the State, another minister who has
done as much business in this line in
the same period.
A SERIOUS accident occurred to Mr.
Trout living some two and one-halt
miles from Burning Springs. Early one
morning last week, his house took fire
from a defective stove pipe and burned
to the ground with its entire contents
None of the family were up except one
of the workmen who had built the fire
in the stove, and then went out to at
tend to his "chores." So rapid was the
destruction that not single article OF
furniture was saved, and in some in
stances, members of the family could not
even secure their clothing, and barely
escaped with their lives. A fine set Of
double harness, purchased but short
time before was destroyed. What makes
the accident more aggravating Is the
fact that the insurance on the house and
furniture had expired but few days
before, and Mr.. Trout had neglected to
get il renewed.

From the Parkersburg Gazette.
Immense droves of sheep, hogs and
beef cattle have thronged our streets
during the past ten days, en- route for
Baltimore.
We understand that the Good Tenn
plars of Belpre, together with the
Lodges of this city, will have picnic
party at Cedarville, on the Fourth.
MAsoNIc.-The Masons of this city
had grand parade through the streets
of our city on last Monday, st. Johns
day. In the evening they gave a splen-
did party up at Mount Hope. The at
tendance was a large one and dancing
was kept up till late hour,
ExTRAoRDINARY.-W are informed
that for many years past, in deep hole
in the Kanawha river, near Newark, in
Writ county, there has been annually
caught two immense catfish, weighing
from forty to eighty pounds each. The
circumstance is made more extraordi-
nary from the fact that no more than
two fish are ever caught in the same
place. and they are of the same kind
and of the largest proportions. The
"hole," which was discovered some
years ago by Mr.. Foster, is in a large
hollow rock, and by the way, 1t makes
an excellent tish-trap.

STEAMER w. f. CURTIS BURNED
We are under the painful necessity of
recording that yesterday morning the
steamer w. F. Curtis fell a prey to fire.
She had just landed at Marietta, Ohio,
when the sad event occurred. She de-
livered before the catastrophe large
amount of freight at our wharf, and
those who received their goods here
bless their stars, that they escaped the
dangers of fire. What caused the fire,
we could not learn. The Curtis was an
excellent boat and her loss will he sadly

SURRATT's FATE.-Forney's Chro,ai-
Gle of late date has the following:
Gone of our evening contemporaries
is nervous about the fate of Surratt.-
There need be no alarm on his account.
Nobody expects him to be found guilty
in this city, under the present arrange
ments for selecting jury. We have
no doubt Washington is eminently
loyal. But the Lost Cause has
enough friends here to secure at least
one member of any jury that may be
empannelled to try Surratt. That one
member is as good as dozen, so far as
defeating verdict of guilty is con-
cerned. Neither Surratt nor anybody
else is ever likely to be punished in this
city for aiding the rebellion, whether
as an assassin of the nations President
OF as a Confederate spy and blockade
runner. Surratt is more likely to get a
clerkship in one of the Departments in
a few weeks than he is to be hanged
for his crime"

POETRY.
PICTURES IN SMOKE.
BY j. II. ELLIOT.

Wrapt in dreamy quietude I sit,
Leisurely putting at my choice cigar,
While down the moonbeams, with a noise
less tread,
A throng of elves come tripping from
afar.
Half-consciously the faires I invoke
To paint me pictures in the tinted smoke
Old scenes of boyhood's careless romps and
Faces of schoolmates, fresh, and young,
and fair
Grim pedagogues with frowning front and
Long shining curls and braids of silken
hair
Soft hands red smarting meath the ferule's
Or clasped in browner ones-pictured in
smoke.
Familiar fireside scenes-the light of home
The goodnight kiss and trudging off to
bed
The petty quarrels and the " making up''-
The mothers cool hand resting on the
head
The shadowy moonlight on hillside oak,
And fancies vague-all the radiant in the
smoke.
The shy coquetting with the first boy-love-
The awkward gallantry of unripe years
The childish gifts-the long walks after
The Sights that brought burst of angry
The feuds and duels that such Sights pro-
yoke
How vividly they're painted in the smoke.
The first time leaving home-the last good
The aching sense of loneliness and pain
New cares and life commenced
The first sad longing to be young again
When worn and weary with the cumbrous
How true to life these pictures are, in smoke.
pray We, gentle fairies, leave me now,
You've brought the Past to me with men,
'ries glad;
The pictures vanish, but the trace is left,
The boy is happy while the man is sad.
A boy no more-a man !-Iimes ravens
croak,
And youth has vanished with the fragrant
smoke.
How Life is like this vapor Calm-eyed
In fairy guise, paints it with pictures
But while we gaze and stretch out eager
hands,
We start to find the pleasure is not there;
We dip our life-barque oars stroke by stroke,
And grow old-watching pictures IN the
smoke

gurated for the development and elevation OF the
colored people, and the necessity ofgood advice
and aid which people long accustomed to the
advantages and privileges OF a free nation should
extend to those who entering sphere
oflife, it is considered the duty of those whose
official positions bring them in contact with this
class to render such assistance in the work now
going on, and endeavor, by all possible means, to
encourage, counsel and help in the preiminaries
incident to the entranchisement OF the colored
people.
The Officers and Agents of the Bureau in this
State are reminded that it is made an important
part of their work to inform all freed people of
their rights and privileges conferred upon them
by the Government, prominent among which is
their right OF suffrage.
1t is of great importance that all should be duly
informed of this right, and the importance OF its
exercise. They should be taught the necessity
of a prompt and thorough registration, and be
assured that they will be protected and every
facility offered to carry out the intention OF the
laws.
To this end Officers and Agents will use their
best efforts to thwart designing persons in any
attempt to impede registration; to prevent Doth
intimidations or promises in any and every gulse.
1t is known that threats of violence and gross
Misrepresentation have been used in order to
deceive these people, and all such cases coming
under their notice as in any way tending to in
terfere or impede the operations of the law, will
be at once reported to these Head Quarters.
Officers and others charged with these duties
will exercise great caution in carrying out these
instructions, taking care that their advice be
tempered with Judgment and impartiality. Every
encouragement will be given to foster industry,
particularly at this season, when so much de-
pends upon proper care of crops.
These directions, to those whose duty it is to
see that all rights guaranteed by the Government
are properly enforced, must commend themselves
to each and every person interested in the gen
eral welfare and progress of all classes, and it is
hoped that they may meet with an approval
which will greatly facilitate the future welfare of
the citizens of the State.

deprecatory. His hair is fast turning
gray. There is nothing to excite en-
thusiasm in his look or manner. In
private he is reported as mild spoken,
amiable, and of quick intelligence, but
his face is both impassive and un promis-
ing. All the portraits fatter him."

GENERAL GRANT ON REcoNsTRUc-
T1oN.-A special dispatch to the Bos-
tom Adoertiser says:
"There has been a good deal of talk
during the past two or three days about
General Grants position on the recon.
struction question. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time last summer one
Colonel Hillyer, formerly on General
Grants staff, wrote a letter to some
body IN Indiana, saying the General
endorsed the Presidents policy, which
allegation was met by saying that
neither Hillyer nor any one else mad
authority to speak for him. The De-
mocratic members of the Judiciary
Committee of the House, it appears,
thought point for the President might
be made out of the matter, and accord
ingly General Grant and Colonel Hill
yer were summoned to give evidence
In the impeachment inquiry. Hillyer
testified that long interview took
place in February of last year between
the President, General Grant, and him.
self, and that his letter as to General
Grants position was founded on what
was then said.
''Hillyer had but recently returned
from an extended tour in the South.
and was giving some account of affairs
down there. He spoke of the generally
unsettled condition, and General Grant
indorsed his report by saying he had
discovered the same stale of facts in his
hurried trip short time before. The
President made some observation to
the effect that matters would not be-
come right till the States were restored
to the Union, and that this ought to be
done as soon as possible; to which
both his hearers assented. General
Grant was before the committee on
two occasions, and his evidence was
far enough from being pleasing to the
gentlemen by whom he was called.
He said in effect, as is understood, that
he had not thought it his province to
meddle in politics that he had never
been asked by the President for his ad-
vice or opinions on political matters;
that in all he had said about the neces-
sity for earl Y restoration of the Union
he had spoken as military man and as
citizen, and not as politician; that
in his view military rule ought to cease
as soon as possible consistent with jus
tice and safety; that the Southern peo-
pie themselves should be anxious for re-
storation of the civil authority; that
he had always understood the Presi-
dents work in the South as of tenn
porary character, and at most as but an
aid to Congress in setting up the civil
governments that he had not sympa-
thized with the President in his conflict
with Congress; that he thought the
fixing of terms of reconstruction was
matter belonging to Congress that in
his judgment the South made grave
mistake in not long ago heartily accept.
ing the terms offered; that he stood
firmly by the Congressional plan, and
that he was anxious now. as he had
been ever since the end of the war, for
the early restoration of the rebel States
to the privilege of representation in
