GRAPEs.-We have just set out one
hundred very fine Iona Grape Roots,
from the pro pagating house of John H.
Heaton, of the st. Clairsville Nursery
These vines We're propagated from the
buds this year, and transplanted from
the pots in-which they We're grown di-
rectly to the vineyard. We are rather
inclined to favor this method nof. plant
ing, as there is no delay, as in the case
of replanting yearling roots, and we
think, if the season proves favorable,
these plants will be as far advanced this
fall as those yearling roots planted out a
month earlier.
Mr.. Heaton has large number of
grape, roots comprising SS varieties, and
persons intending to set out vineyards,
or those wishing few roots for their
yards and gardens-and everybody
should plant some-would do well to call
at the St. Clairsville Nursery and ex-
anime the stock on hand.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAs-OIL SPEC
uLAToRs. AT toaaERHEADs. - The.
Spring Term of the Court of Common
Pleas is now in its fifth week, and, we
presume, will close this week or next.
A special or "struck" jury has been
waiting since Monday, to try the case of
Arohibald McGreso and WIFE VS.. Diron
Myers. This is an important case. Able
counsel are employed on both sides, and
we presume it will be hotly contested. -
About seventy witnesses have been sum
moncd in it, y
The case Of II. Il. Chambers VS.. Thos.
Osborne, w. W. Aieadnder, and Il. s.
Ctark, was given to the jury on Monday
evening. The plaintiff and others bought
oil stock in the Smiths Ferry oil regions,
as was claimed upon the representations
of the defendants that fortune could
be made out of it. Mr. Chambers in
vested $3.50, lost it, and sued to recover.
Several of our citizens who had gone
through the same "mill" were put upon
the witness stand, and the examinations
were quite juicy. There was a prepon-
derance of testimony to the fact that, at
the time the investments were made,
wells at Smiths Ferry were yielding
well, and that one great reason for the
loss is the fact that oil has declined from
$500 per barrel to 81 so. The jury, of
course, rendered verdict for the defen-
dants. Oscar Wright and Ex-Sheriff
G. III. Umstead had also entered similar
suits against the same parties, but we
understand only one case was to be tried.
1t is said parties in Jefferson County
were also awaiting the decision of this
case. If the verdict had been for the
plaintiff, litigation would have been end
