WE give below the copy of COM
munication received some time since
by the Recorder of Gilmer county. 1t
was written in a good plain round
hand, and is exactly as follows, in its
orthograpy, use of capitals, &c
To Mr., Warner, Clerk of fGilmer county
Dear Sir I had bin under the impress
sion that as we'll as any other man
was entitled Legally to Marriage Ii
cense upon application to you, conss-
Quently did so and you supposed
through Obstinacy Refused was the
cause of my entering suit against you,
which was not my wish if 1 could have,
got the License, if you would now Is
sue me the License / will draw the suit
please answer by the first opportunity
your very Respectful friend.
Charles NJ Custard
To Mr.. L. Warner.
The difficulty in the way of the Re-
corder's complying with the request
was, that Mr.. Custard is an American
citizen of African descent, whilst his
inamorata is a white woman
Mr.. Custard was connected with the
re bellion as an officers servant, we un-
derstand, and warmly espoused- the
Southern cause,-in short, was a rebel
'snig!yer'; and is consequently so un-
fortunate as to be Conservative SYM
pathizer, whilst his affianced is a widow
of a rebel soldier, and glories in being
a rebel. We commend this case to the
editor of the Register, and the man who
was going to be Governor OF West Vir-
ginia last summer. There Is something
wrong in the family.

The Agricultural college.


At the coming session of the Legisla-
ture the location of the Agricultural
College, for which Congress has provi-
ded a munifcent endowment, in this
State, will be prominent question.
We presume no place will be so con-
spicuously, or with such manifest JUS
tice, before the body, as Morgantown.
The proposition that was made to the
State last winter will be renewed this
session, to give the grounds and build
ings of Monongalia Academy, and the
beautiful and extensive establishment
of Woodburn Seminary, together with
several thousand dollars in money,
provided the College be permanently
located at this place.
In order to make the Congressional
endowment available, the institution
must be actually in operation by July
next, and there is doubtless no place in
the State where ii can be done but here
SO readily, and with no expense to the
State, which latter is a very interesting
announcement to the people, who, in
addition to bounties and other local
taxation, are just now beginning TO
feel slightly inconvenienced by the
magnitude of tax receipts.
It has been rather thought in this
offer, there was a show OF generosity
only, that we were trying to palm OF
on the people of the State lot OF old
buildings and dilapidated furniture
were useless IOE ScnOOl purposes,
and that the array was the presentation
of the wreck of past greatness. Such
is not the case, and We can assure the
people elsewhere in the State, that all
we ask is for a committee of the Legis-
lature, of members residing we care
not how far from Monongalia county,
fair and just men, 10 come and examine
the offering we make to the State; we
do not fear the result. We can show
them two of the largest buildings in the
State, in a perfect state of repairs, with
desks, seats and other furniture for
three hundred and fifty pupils, of the
latest and most approved pattern and
style. We venture the assertion that a
committee thus formed-no matter
from whence they come or how ardent
ly their sympathies may be enlisted ior
other points-will award us Il large su-
periority in these particulars.
As to our geographical situation II is
equally favorable; in the heart of the
Monongahela Valley, in the midst OF
one of the best agricultural districts of
the State, which abounds likewise In
every variety of mineral wealth, in the
track of what is destined some day
not far distant to be one of the great
highways of the nation, and in the
midst of a community which has fos-
tered and encouraged learning from its
earliest history.
We sincerely hope that this subject
I will early engage the attention of the
Legislature, and that its action may be
favorable to our place, as we think it
impossible to secure the Congressional
| gift unless such is the case; and we are
| act passes, we can have a ftourishing
institution that will require no outlay
by the State for several years to come.
