Of laying the corner stone Of the Eest

70 be laid with Masonic ceremonies.
Several Of the Masonic, Odd Fellow,
and Good Teinplzr Lodges IN the Stale
have been invited TO participate, and
the YelfetIs speaks confidently Of
large attendance from Wheeling,
HouudzyilIs, Cameron, Aannington,
Grafton, CIsEksbuEs and Parkersburg.
Bound trip tickets VIII is issued from
all the above named places at greatly
reduced rates. Hon. Schuyler Colfa1
has been invited to deliver the grafton,
and he is expected 70 be present.
Rev. DR.. Dorsey. Of FairmOnt, has
been writing series OF articles for the
New York Methodt4t in regard 10 the
status, present and prospective, OF the
Methodist Protestant Church. Il would
seem from the brief we have seen Of his
arguments, that the organization is in
lsDguishiHg condition, and Is upon the
point Of dissoiviuz itself into other re-
ligious societies, Chiefly into the 81. Z.
Church. The trouble he makes GOT 10

Afes days ago ne eop.sd from The
10 & recent trouble said 10 have grown
up in the Board Of Directors Of the In
sane Asylum. Among other things
contained in that article was state
nent 70 the Effect that work had been,
or was about 70 be. suspended on the
Asylum, and thus many Of our unfor-
tuDate people left to the tender mercIea
oJsiIs and other like places of coDfins-
l1ent. A member Of the Board of Di-
Teclors writes US private letter in ref
ersnee TO that article, from which we
take the liberty Of making the follow
ing extract:
cit IL not true as stated in the Ezpoa-
Lor that work on the Hospital building
mas been, or IL TO be, stopped. No such
policy has been adopted by the Board,
or even discus ed by It. Nor is IL even
contem plated that am aware of until
a. F,FnHyfHuH all
Insane belonging TO the State. When
that Is accomplished, think the Board
! may very properly suspend operations
/ for time, or leave the responsibility Of
completing the building at an addi-
tionnl cost of half million or upwards,
with the Legislature, where 1t properly
/ belongs. This, however, IL aqueAtlon
| for the future, and 1t has never been
| mooIed by the Board, and the opinion
| here expressed L. my own. We are
/ pushing to completion with all the
\ means in our reach, the two sections
which have been under way for
/ some time, one OF which We had hoped
to be ready to occupy long before this.
| When completed, we hope TO be able to
accom- Dodate all, or nearly all, the
patients belonging to the State, by using
Tor kitchen purposes, some temporary
buildings outside"
ka"As the Directors have not, and
\ probably Will not attempt to defend
| themselves against the aspeFsiOns made
against them, l suppose the public will
| receive rs true all that is said in print
| to their detriment. Be IL SO. II a faith
fol, honest and laborious service, 0rdtui-
t0tlsLy rendered To the State Will not
! yinulcate them, 1t Is not al all probable
that any words OF theirs can do it,"

THE coal miners of Pennsylvania
have, it appears, a curious custom with
reference to certain rights OF Occupa-
ton. This custom is founded on the
right of priority, and asserts that nc
miner working in his particular section
or room" can be superseded without
due notice. This gave rise, the other
day, to a suit for assault and battery in
a Pittsburgh court. The circumstances
were these:
both the defendant and prosecutor
are employed in the same coal mine
above South Pittsburgh. Welsher was
working in his room one day last
week, bat through some mistake the
proprietoEs OF the mines had assigned
! the same apartment to Lowe, and had
| IA lied 10 give the former due notice.
| Now, "A room in y coal pit is regarded
| by all miners as the dIggsr's castle,
| and he must defend IL against all in.
Lrudcrs. Lowe innoceutly endeRvored
/ to take Possession, but was pounced
upon by WeIsher and severely punish
ed, and hence the suit. the defendant
was discharged on the ground that u
