the most remarkable escapes from in
slant death occurred near this place on
Tuesday last. 1t appears that Mr.. Lew
is Cline. of fWardens lille il this county,
who is engaged in driving cattle for
Messrs. Glendy & Ruckman, had missed
q bullock from his drove, and had re-
turned to the pasture in search of it,
and in driving the bullock, he had to
follow the animal, which had left the
road, and his horse being blind IN one
eye, iD attempting to pass the olu TOLL
house well, about one mile east OF town,
on the Wardensville road, 1T is supposed
his horse blundered and fell head fore
most into the we'll, which is upwards of
thirty feet deep. The horse was instant
ly killed, but Mr.. Cline was not serious
ly hurt, his face being considerably
bruised. His escape from death can
only be accounted for on "the supersti-
tious theory" that his time hadn't
come.

The Buckhannon State .ldrOcdte is dis
satisfied with MS for mentioning one of
its legislative candidates as ia person

is informed our knowledge OF this
"personr is confined almost entirely to
his participation in mob which broke
up Democratic meeting in Buckhan-
non on certain occasion. We remem-
Der that it prevented Buckhannon from
getting single Democratic vote for the
Capital, and will be likely to so operate
in the future. AS we are not dealing in
that sort of stock, we are not specially
benefited by the information that ''ho

frequently heard men styled unpur-
chaseable who were unmarketable.

Correspondence of the Kanawha Republican
The Grand jury for the county of Ka-
nawha, at the October term of the Cir
cult Court for 1867, were requested to
investigate the case Of +. T. Meore,
charged with forgery and an attempt to
draw money from the treasury with
fraudulent intent. This the jury did,
in part, but for want of time did not
complete, so as to justify filing a writ
ten information.
The main features of the case pre-
sented to the jury are these:
Mr.. Moore, as Clerk of the Board of
Registration for the county, at the April
term of the Court, presented long list
of persons eStitled to allowance for at
tendance as witnesses before the Board
with the tickets, asking an order from
the Court for their payment. The
names of all the parties, perhaps an hun-
dred-the total amounting to Sls5.45-
were endorsed by Mr.. Moore him
self. as he confesses, and, as he alleges,
by authority Gas he understood it, of
the Judge, and by suggestion of Mr..
Mr.. Dryden, Deputy Clerk, if not of
Slack, Clerk. Mr.. Dryden confess
es he so advised Mr.. Moore, as the only
way in which the collections might be
made at small cost. To this list and
these tickets, Moore made oath as to
their correctness, and received the order
of payment Moore exhibited to the
Jury a letter from Auditor McWhorter,
which he says he showed the Court and
Clerk at the time. In that letter Mr..
McWhorter instructs that, to save costs,
several tickets might be made out on
one paper, and the names of all the
claimants endorsed BY themselves. No
intimation, however, is given that an
other person might endorse.
These tickets thus endorsed and GER
titled were sent by Moore to Wheeling,
and after examination by the Auditor
with several citizens of Charleston
casually in Wheeling, payment was re-
fused. After the June term of the
