MAKING TME.-A lady at Eaton''
Station, Wood county, who, has beer
married but three weeks and two days
gave birth, last New Years morning, te
three fine boys. The children and
mother are all doing well. If any
other county in West Virginia can beat
Wood in raising soldiers, we want tc
see the boys trotted eut. 1t is nice
question in arithmetic, "If, in three
weeks and two days, a patriot raises
three bold soldier boys, how long will
it take so enterprisiDg a Colonel to
raise a regiment fully officeredp ~ We
submit this question to the military de-
partment of the Agricultural College
for solution.
We wouldn't mind seeing the boyt
after they were "trotted out" but DOM
care about witnessing the "trot."

been postponed until the first Wednes
day in February. The address of the G.
w. c. T., DR.. T. l. Elliott is changed to

We have had the pleasure of seeing
some of the District Schools in ouI
county in the last few days, and can
report that in the main there is a mani
fest and encouraging improvement in
the number, conduct and advancement
of the schools. In spite of the little
differences, perplexities and difficulties,
there is a growing interest in the cause
of education, and better feeling for
our system. Among our wants at pres
ent we enumerate thorough, earnest,
efficient teachers, and hope that more
of our young people will prepare for
this noble work. Fit themselves both
in mind and heart to do it as it should
he done.

The Wellsburg Times, ]. F. Campbell
editor and proprietor, is the title of a
new paper started in Wellsburg as the
successor of the Democrat. The Times
is a decided Improvement upon its pre-
decessor in appearance and matter 1t
is eminently sound in its politics as the
following extract from Mr.. Campbell's
salutatory shows:
We have ever been faithful to the
Democratic creed, which we embraced
in early boyhood, and the events of the
past six years have served greatly ia
strengthen our fidelity to that creed
Indeed we are thoroughly convinced
that the salvation Of our beloved coun-
try and the re-establishment of union
and concord between the North and the
South, depend upon the restoration OF
Constitutional principles.

MAN KILLED.-About three o'clock p
NJ, on Saturday, difficulty occurred
between two of our citizens, Mr.. Adam
Parish, of the Armstrong House, and a
son of Mr.. Jonathan Harmison, of the
Virginia House, Mr.. Charles Harmison
which resulted in the almost death Of
the former. We are not, however, suf'
ficiently advised as to the particulars OF
this very unfortunate affair, and, as the
matter will be judicially investi'
gated, we refrain from giving the
statements current in regard tc
this tragic occurrence, which has
plunged two families into the deepest
distress. The fatal wound inflicted on
Mr.. Parish was made by penknife,
the blade of which was three inches in
length. The blade of the knife entered
his right side, wounding the lower por
ton of his right lung, and the unfortu
nate man bled to death in about thirty
minutes after the intliction of the
wound. Young Harmison, not aware oi
the fatal wound he had inflicted, made
no effort to escape, until Informed OF
Mr.. P.'s death, when he left town, but
was soon overtaken and brought back
and lodged in confinement.
DRowNED.-On last Saturday, g
wagon, containing effects of Mr.. JOSEPH
E. Berry, who was removing from
