Our LABoRERs.-The recent winter has
been one of the hardest and most difficult
our laboring population, white or black, have
encountered for many years. It's early part
was so severely cold, that out door labor had
to be suspended, and It's latter part buta sue
cession of snow and rain, slcct and mud
The same also applies TO most of our out
working mechanics, many of whom have been
unable to work more than week consecu>
lively since the middle of December. The
expense of living is enormous, and if VIC
should meet some long Yisages on our streets,
it would not be strange in these cash times,
(to the poor at least for their children may
have gone cold to bed and awoke in the morn
ing crying for bread. TO those to whom
Providence has allotted enough and to spare,
kindly reflection as to the possible need of
his neighbor, might be opportune.

last week, were the. following as we gather
from the Martinsburg Nc,o Era:

An appeal from Justices Judgment and
tried by a jury. Argued by Chapline for
Appellant and Blackburn for Appellee
Verdict for Appellant.
Thomas FL. Myers rs Shimp and Keeseck-
er. Motion for judgment on forthcoming
Bond. Affidavit made of disloyalty of plain.
tiff and counter affidavit of plaintiff. Mr..
Hoke asked Tor a jury to try the issue of low
atty. This was resisted by Mr.. Faulkner up
on the ground that tie law authorized no
such issue to be made in the case. The views
of Mr. Faulkner were sustained by tho Court
and Judgment entered on tho forthcoming
Bond.
The Grand Jury brought in number of
indictments, amongst which were +. Randall
of forgery. &c.
The indictments against Col. E Fl. Nc
Donald and some others which have been pend
ing for some time growing out of acts done
during the late civil war were dismissed by

PUBLIC SCuooLs.-Mr. Thomas johnson
having resigned as one of the School Com
missioners recently elected for the Charles
town Township, Nathauie! Myers been APP
pointed in his stead at an informal meet
ing on Saturday, the Commissioners determin-
ed if possible to put the Schools in operation
and Oficer-Shcetz was appointed to register
the minors of from to 81 years, that the
Township might receive tI;c amount due of
the present years tax, which is estimted to
be about $1,000. A tax vii! have, however,
to be laid and collected for building School
houses, for negroes we'll as whites, before
the School can go into operation, but unless
the matter Is FASTENED We fear SO long a time
will intervene before consummatcd. that the
good old county school fund and all, will be
left out in the cold, as TO the benign charities
of West Firginia, as Jefferson will be non
cSt, when the royal roll is made up.

A GENERAL CnAsu.-We are informed by
GEORGE W. MILsTEAD, who resides on the
"Cat tail" farm Of James Roper, that when
he went to lis s'abling on Friday morning
last, he found it mass of ruin, as also the
large barn and corn house adjacent, though
neither building connected. On removing
the debris of the stable, he found that valua-
BILE colt was killed outright, and two young
and superior brood mares so seriously injured,
that recovery is doubtful This with the 9th,
or losses Of Mr.. NJ, is quite drawback en-
young beginner. No reason can be given for
this general crash, ether than the complete
undermining of the foundations, by the in
cessant rains of the last month, though it is
certainly somewhat singular it should all have
occurred the same night.
The large barn on the Mount Hammond"
farm, also the property of Mr.. Roper, torpled
from its base on the same night, destroying
what implements and stock, (t!lough there
were fortunately no horses underits shelter

THE F1ooDs-our exchanges from All
directions in Virginia, no less than South and
West, bring the most appalling accounts of
the destruction Of life and property, by the
regent unprecedented SHOWS and continuous
rains. Thus far our people have compare,
lively escaped any serious damage, but as the
earth is now shronded with several inches of
snow, and already thoroughly saturated with
water, we may be just at the beginning of the
end. A heavy ruin or sudden thaw must
certainly ralse our water courses to an .aIarm-
ing extent,and it would be wise in all, to
guard as far as possible against the destruc-
ton which must follow

we were to give the prices brought at some

plenty as blackbsrries in July, which we can
assure them is not the fact, if we are permit

IHE NILLArS-DIGHA8L GATHERISG.-On
Saturday last the K G C.'s gathered at this
place from far and near t5 hear the great
apostle Of Cobpefheadis1n. From ali the
I dark ccrhets of our own county they came
ia snarnas and there were large numbers
beside from the counties Of Union, Marion,
Knox Morrow and Licking. The process
sion comprised more rickety wagons, jaded
quadrupeds- and squalid looking hipeds.
than we had supposed could be gathered
even by the notoriety OF vaIlandtgham -
One feature OF the procession was q number
Of ehivalrous Democratic youth. mounted
on horses, commanded by q gallant sutler
who distinguished himself, as a soldier in
forms Us, IN gathering mp the ofaI OF Union
camps for soap grease, and in other anbig-
ious specuIations in Dixie. A Canadian, we
believe, by birth or parentsge, and lately
naturalized, he was a most appropriate COM
mander Of the Canadian cavaliers. Anoth-
er feature Of the procession was q wagon
containing q number OF eopperheads yigor-
ousiy at work under another who had black
ed his face and was trying TO paIm himself
of as negro. We never saw Democrat
work so wen as these seemed to under negro
superintendence, and II "negro supremacy"
could have such an effect on the thousands
Of dissolute, worthless and lazy Democrats
Of the South who have spent their lives in
idleuess and dissipation, IL would work a
most wholesome reform in the morals of
that section as wen as in a large portion Of
the Ohio Democracy
In the afternoon the crowd gathered in /
the College Campus, but YaIIandighan
came not. Disappointment was visible on
every face, and we heard it frequently given /
vent to in expressions showing that 1t was /
deep and inconsOlable. To keep the crowd /
rumOrs were circulated that ValIandig- |
ham would certainly come on the after /
noon train, and IL was even said that 1
q special train had been sent for him. 4
as a still farther ruse the musical name Of 1
The great martyr was entered in q bold hand I
on the hotel register. Ranney endeavored
% ''fll in the time," but he could neither
retain the crowd or provoke a respectable
cheer. Many went away before be was
through speaking, and when he concluded,
he whole crowd broke for home, many Of
hem frst SPIRITUALLY eonsOIfng themselves
or the absence Of their beloved. And thus
inded the poW-WoW.

GIBsoN's sPEECH.-Gibson's speech on last
Monday, like a great battle, is something
that cannot be described, but had to be seen
and heard to be appreciated. Gibson's pow
er Of eloqueHee is probably not exeelled by
that of any public speaker In America, and
when he has the advantage, as he had on
this occasion, of the inspiration Of noble
and righteous and yet imperiled cause, his
ability to move an audience alternately
from laughter to tears and transport them
to the sublimest nights of oratoricaI inspfra-
ton, is truly grand. We doubt ii any can
did and convinceable person went away
from this nesting unconvineed that the
cause ehampioned by the Union Republic
can party In the late canvass Is the cause ol
our country and our God. Our only regret
is that al the men and women In Cur coun'
ty, Of whatsver political fatths did not heal
