STATE ITEMS.

The Erening Star is the title of tri-
weekly paper, just started in Parkers-
burg. Messrs. Morrison and Creel do
the editorial. 1t seems to be very re-
spectacle sheet. Why not publish it
every day. We believe Parkersbarg
would support one decent daily.

The First Anniversary of this Associa-
ton will be held in the Presbyterian
Church on next Monday evening, at

will be delivered. The public is respect
fully iavitcd to attend.
The Conservative is quite spicy in
spots, this week. For instance:
The editor of the Fetterman Yam
0udrd talks about "taXing his brains"
If brains were taxed $1,000 grain, 1.-THE
government" would not derive enough
revenue from that source to buy bean.
1t is now nearly two years since we
quietly and uuassumingly resumed our
business in this place, supposinS 1t not
disreputable for q mechanic to earn an
honest livelihood and support his wife
and children by following his trade.
We did not deem that the means neees-
sary to preserve the existence OF one
man and woman and only balf dozen
white headed youngsters was likely TO
destroy that "proud government" OF
"the old flag" which was "the best the
world ever saw" But according to the
whole pack of loyal editors and orators
l-"Bull," Cesar" "Spot" and Mig,
| it seems that We were mistaken. II
there is a speaker or writer in behalf
of the Radical party in West Virginia
who has not taken stiff, at our unas-
suming self, we do not know it. Yet
thanks to Him who permits not spar
row to fall to the ground with
out his knowledge, zee still lire, and II
Radical writers are TO believed, like the
Usage Orange, we thrive upon the
hacking we get.
From the Martinsburg New Eral
FIRE.-The first fire that mas occurred
in this place for number of years,
broke out in the cabinet maker shop of
Mr.. A. Kogelschatz, last Monday. The
shop and a stable attached, the prop
erty of Mr.. John Feller, were entirely
consumed with their contents. Mr..
Kogelschatz' loss consists IN tools, un-
finished work, and lumber, and IS estl-
mated at about $500. Mr.. Felier's loss
will be fully as much. There was no
insurance on the property destroyed.
Ii is not known how the fire originated,
as there was no one In the shop at the
time but q small boy. A stiff breeze
prevailed at the time, and il was only
by the almost superhuman exertions OF
the citizens, who quickly repaired to
the SPOT Oh the alarm being given. that
Immense destruction of property was
prevented. The ravages of the flames
was checked entirely by the use OF
buckets and such other vessels as could
be procured. The apology for tire
engine was taken out, but not used,
buckets being considered more efficient.
We presume our Rip Van Wrinkle city
dads will awake to the Importance of an
efficieht fire apparatus after property
has been destroyed to an amount sutfi-
cient to purchase half dozen good en-
gines.
